Technology assessment: environmental, health, and safety impacts associated with oil recovery from US tar-sand deposits
Description:
The tar-sand resources of the US have the potential to yield as much as 36 billion barrels (bbls) of oil. The tar-sand petroleum-extraction technologies now being considered for commercialization in the United States include both surface (above ground) systems and in situ (underground) procedures.
