Unconventional Oil

As global demand for energy increases and conventional oil and natural gas production seems insufficient at meeting today's demand growth, thus more attention is being paid to unconventional sources of energy. Renewable energy, as part of the solution will take time in obtaining a significant share in the energy mix, all while the world continues to need hydrocarbons. An important component of this new energy supply will come from unconventional sources, especially those consistent with the existing infrastructure for producing, refining, distributing and consuming petroleum-based fuels. These unconventional sources will provide the bridge for the transition to renewable energy sources. This book is aimed at Engineers, Energy Specialists, Lawyers, Oil Sands Producers, Investors, Geologists, Managers, Bankers, Students and anyone else interested in this increasingly challenging topic.
