Although crudes derived from the Canadian oil sands are more carbon-intensive than the average oil refined in the United States, they are within the range of some other crude oils produced, imported, or refined in the United States, including crudes from Venezuela, Nigeria, Iraq, and California heavy oil production, according to the report.
The process can extract hydrogen from existing oil sands reservoirs, with huge existing supplies found in Canada and Venezuela. Thermolysis, gas reforming and water-gas shift have been used in commercial industrial processes to generate hydrogen for more than 100 years. Proton Technologies is commercializing the process.
The oil industry has yet to recover from an unprecedented two-year drop in investment in 2015-2016, and the IEA sees little-to-no increase in upstream spending outside of the United States in 2017 and 2018. Boosted by economic growth in Asia and a resurgent petrochemicals industry in the United States, global oil demand will increase by 6.9
Rosneft, the leader of Russia’s petroleum industry and majority owned (75.6%) by the state, and PDVSA, Venezuela’s state-owned oil and gas company, have signed a tentative memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up a joint venture to develop heavy crude oil reserves in Venezuela as part of the Carabobo-2 project.
The key to unlocking further upside growth potential in the Canadian oil sands will be the ability of the government and industry to restore confidence that the crude oil produced in western Canada can get to markets at a reasonable transportation cost. —Kevin Birn.
Comprising countries such as Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the United States and Venezuela, the Heavy Oil Working Group will collaborate on clean energy research to reduce the impact of fossil fuel development.
The first volume of the report, the World Oil Review, is devoted to oil reserves, supply, demand, trade and prices with a special focus on crude oil quality and on refining industry. OPEC registered zero growth as production in the Arab Gulf countries were offset by losses in Iran and Venezuela due to geopolitical issues.
With its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, one of the mandates of 12-member OPEC is to “ensure the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers, and a fair return on capital for those investing in the petroleum industry.” Source: opec.org).

Chevron is taking its technology learnings from Kern River and apply them to Duri and other major heavy oil fields globally, such as Wafra in the onshore Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ) between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and in the Orinoco in Venezuela. Using thermal recovery processes in heavy oil reservoirs depends largely on.
This catalyst—made of copper, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide—is used in industry, but it’s not very efficient or selective. This work clearly demonstrates the synergy from combining theoretical and experimental efforts for studying catalytic systems of industrial importance. Click to enlarge. —Jingguang Chen.
in 2014 as a result of industrial overcapacity and weakness in the real estate sector. million units—a 10% drop from 2013; with politics impairing Argentina and Venezuela, and the economic climate weighing down markets like Brazil, Chile and Peru, where it may take a few years for demand to recover to previous highs.
