A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF WORLD HEAVY CRUDE OIL AND BITUMEN RESOURCES

R.F. Meyer,* P.A. Fulton,** and W.D. Dietzman***

INTRODUCTION Since the First International Conference on the Future

of Heavy Crude and Tar Sands was held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in June 1979, several significant events have occurred bearing upon future development of these resources. Positive factors include the following: (1) a second conference was held in Caracas, Venezuela, in February 1982, insuring continued exchange of knowledge on resources, technology, and economics; (2) the UNITAR/ UNDP Information Centre for Heavy Crude and Tar Sands has been established in New York and staffed with highly competent technical representatives from Canada and Venezuela, assuring a permanent organization for collec­tion, collation, and dissemination of information on heavy crude oil and tar sands (bitumen) throughout the world; (3) draft definitions of heavy oil and tar sands have been written to assure standardization of information reporting; (4) Venezuela is aggressively pursuing the exploitation of its vast extra-heavy oil resources in the Orinoco heavy oil belt; (5) the U.S. Geological Survey, with the financial support of the U.S. Department of Energy, has initiated a study of U.S. heavy oil, tar sands, and shallow oil-field resources, the first such review in more than 15 years; (6) numerous pilot studies on heavy-oil recovery are being conducted in the United States and in most countries possessing heavy-oil or tar-sand deposits; (7) heavy-oil deposits not only have been identified offshore, but locally are being produced by thermal methods; (8) about 175 enhanced oil-recovery projects in heavy-oil reservoirs alone have been identified around the world; and (9) a combina­tion of declining resources of crude oil lighter than 20° gravity AH (.934 g/cm3), high crude oil prices, advances in recovery and upgrading technology, and desire for great­er national energy self sufficiency have created incentives for the aggressive exploitation of heavy-oil and bitumen deposits.

PURPOSE Our purpose in this review is to gather data on heavy oil

and bitumen occurrences amenable to recovery in-situ or by

mining and to make a first approximation as to the amount recoverable.

RESULTS The result is a value that exceeds 5.0 trillion (1012)

barrels of oil and bitumen in-place, with only about 50.3 billion (109) barrels having been produced. Total recover­able reserves, as herein defined, amount to about 6.10 billion barrels. No generalization can be made as to the price required for exploitation of those reserves, because of the enormous variation involved in production methods, reservoir conditions, infrastructure, and government policy. Most present production commands a price of about $25.00 per barrel. It is believed that such a price would make the Venezuelan extra-heavy crude oil economic; it would be insufficient for the Uvalde, Texas, bitumen.

DEFINITIONS The definitions for heavy and extra-heavy crude oil and

tar sands or bitumen described in Chapter 1 (this book) and as modified in Appendix A are ideal. Because of the paucity of viscosity measurements available in published sources, we follow these conventions: heavy crude oil, 10°-20°API; extra-heavy crude oil, less than 10°API but mobile in the reservoir, hence, producible through a well bore; and bitu­men, less than 10°API and immobile in the reservoir.

Insofar as feasible, we follow the definitions of reserves and resources of the U.S. Geological Survey, as they are applied to oil and gas by Dolton and others (1981). Modi­fications of the following terms have been necessary for the purposes of our review:

Resources are concentrations of naturally occurring petroleum and bitumen in the earth's crust, some part of which is currently or potentially economic­ally and technologically extractable. Oil in-place is the total of oil or bitumen in a deposit prior to the start of extraction. Reserves are those portions of the oil in-place esti­mated to be economically extractable under stated conditions.

HEAVY CRUDE AND TAR SANDS

The definitions immediately suggest some practical prob­lems in discussing extra-heavy and heavy crude oil and bitu­men because any of these hydrocarbons may occur as either surficial deposits, to be strip mined, or as subsurface deposits, either to be mined or, more commonly, produced through bore holes, usually with the help of exogenous energy.

DATA SOURCES For the oil fields of the United States, basic data were

derived from the automated Petroleum Data System (PDS) of the Office of Information Systems Programs, University of Oklahoma, which contains nonproprietary records for all U.S. fields and pools. Information on surface bitumen and heavy-oil deposits was derived from the literature. The field, pool, and deposit information for Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada was derived from nonproprietary Provincial records and from the literature. For other countries, the basic data for producing heavy-oil fields were obtained from the oil-field data system of Petroconsultants S.A., Geneva, Switzerland, supplemented by data from the literature. Other information on world heavy oil and bitu­men is derived from literature search. In all cases, we are responsible for manipulations and interpretations of the basic data.

In the accompanying tables, data from the automated data files are not identified. We have cited all other informa­tion to the list of references. The reports cited seldom in­clude proved reserves figures, at least for individual produc­ing reservoirs, so those figures are generally our responsibil­ity. On the other hand, oil in-place and production data are invariably derived from the literature.

At the present time, there is no published compilation of the basins of the world immediately useful for indexing fields and deposits. Consequently, the deposits listed in the tables usually do not include a basin code. There has long be*en a standard geologic province map for the United States (Meyer), with provincial boundaries drawn along political (county) lines in order to simplify computer processing of the deposit information. Where basin codes are given for other countries, the basin designations are those common­ly accepted by the nations involved.

The U.S. Geological Survey has published a three-sheet map depicting onshore and offshore areas of the world that either contain known oil or natural gas deposits or are favorable for their occurrence (Coury & others, 1978). One sheet shows North and South America; a second, Europe, West Asia, and Africa; and a third, East Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. The scale of the map is 1:20,000,000 (1 inch equals 320 miles), with an interrupt­ed sinusoidal equal area projection used to facilitate areal comparisons. A map of the Arctic region on a Lambert azimuthal equal area projection appears on the map of North and South America and on that of Europe, West Asia, and Africa. Inserts of the North Sea and Alaska regions are also included, with central meridians that allow for better presentation of those complex areas. Water depth is shown with 200 and 2,500 m (600 and 7,500 ft)

isobaths. The areas shown consist mostly of basins contain­ing unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks greater than 1,000 m (about 3,000 ft) in thickness. Also included are some platforms and uplifts, foldbelts, and thinner rock sequences. A bibliography of references used in compiling the maps also is available (Coury & others, 1979). Addition of the location of the principal heavy oil fields and bitumen deposits would permit the use of the maps for reference purposes. This is important in predicting the petroleum potential of presently unproductive areas as well as in softening the political implications of oil occurrence.

A somewhat more recent world map (Oil & Gas Journal, 1982e) depicts the sedimentary basins of the world. The basins are colored to indicate whether they include giant fields, fields of smaller size, or are nonproductive. The map does not show the degree of exploration of the nonproduc­tive basins. Its scale is too small to show individual fields.

METHODOLOGY From the automated data files we have made use of field

names, American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity values, and annual and cumulative production. In using such files it is essential to know the size of the sample for which critical data are available.

For the U.S. part of the study we summed from the Petroleum Data System (PDS) file, by basin, the annual and cumulative production, reserves (calculated as described below), and ultimate recovery (tables 16-1 and 16-2). This procedure then was repeated for fields that have API grav­ity data (tables 16-3 and 16^t). In table 16-5 we compared the results of our studies for all fields in PDS with records from the American Petroleum Institute for 1979, the last year API data were published. The correlation is sufficient­ly close to suggest that our methodology is satisfactory.

In table 16-6 we compare the results of our two com­puter runs, for all records and for those that have oil-gravity data. In Texas, the coverage of oil-gravity data is very com­plete; for the other states, only about 45 percent of the fields include oil-gravity values, representing 68 percent of annual and 64 percent of cumulative production. For heavy oil this is a misleadingly low value because most of the fields of California and Texas are represented by oil-gravity values and these states have most of the heavy-oil fields.

In Canada, the data are very complete, as reported in the annual oil and gas reports of the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, and no problems are presented by the data base.

For other countries in the world, the Petroconsultants file also is quite complete in its reporting of oil gravity values. Of 2,349 fields included in the file, 2,052 are repre­sented by gravity or density, and these fields have 96 per­cent of the cumulative production (table 16-7).

Except in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, and a few states in the United States, public information on proved reserves is seldom available for individual producing fields or pools. Therefore, where not otherwise given, a reserve was calculated assuming a 20-year decline based on latest available annual production; if data only for oil in-place are

HEAVY CRUDE AND TAR SANDS

given, the reserve was calculated as 10 percent of that value. This procedure, suggested by T.A. Fitzgerald of the World Bank, implies no improvement in overall recovery technol­ogy. Few proved-reserves data are published for small fields, but a comparison of our computed reserves with those published by the American Petroleum Institute for the 100 largest fields shows good agreement with their total of proved plus indicated additional reserves, for those fields producing heavy oil. Reserves are presented in this way (1) to enable specialists in different areas to see how the aggregates are derived, (2) to disclose obvious errors, and (3) to permit assessment of the relative importance of different areas-whether basin or political entity—with respect to heavy oil and bitumen.

For the major heavy-oil and bitumen deposits, such as those in Canada, Venezuela, and the U.S.S.R., much information is available on the amount of oil or bitumen in-place and the amount probably recoverable with known technologies under known conditions of occurrence. Much less is known concerning deposits of this type elsewhere, and for purposes of estimation, producible reserves are cal­culated as 5 percent of oil in-place in carbonate and 10 percent in clastic rocks. This method does not consider up­grading by carbon rejection, which would decrease such estimates by an additional 25 percent. In converting data, we have used 7 barrels per tonne of oil or 63 barrels per cubic meter.

Where reliable, published information on reserves is available, we use it with proper reference citation. Oil or bitumen in-place represents definitive information; if a citation is not present in the tables, the oil in-place figure is approximated as 20 times the reserve number. Oil in-place data have not been totaled in the tables because too many of the values are missing and the incomplete total would lead to seriously erroneous impressions of overall recovery if compared with the ultimate recovery figures, which, of themselves, are only approximations.

RESOURCE CONSIDERATIONS Exceedingly large amounts of heavy crude oil and bitu­

men are present in the world, but it is not known with precision the proportion of this material ultimately to be­come recoverable. Certain facts must be considered: initial capital investment per daily barrel for recovery of oil from tar sands is high, even though spread over the 30-year life of the projects; energy costs for extraction are at best about one barrel for 25 barrels produced, but commonly are one barrel for three; environmental costs, mostly from air pollution, frequently are high; and, using any present tech­nology, producing capacities do not approach those obtained for medium and light crude reservoirs, especially reservoirs of 100 million barrels or greater. At the same time, the re­sources of heavy crude oil and bitumen, even when viewed conservatively, as in this report, are exceedingly large; both heavy oil and bitumen are high in energy content and ulti­mate recoveries of bitumen may approach 90 percent. Con­sequently, the size of the resource is not a deterrent to exploitation, utilization, or investment in research on production and upgrading.

Heavy oil and bitumen, if produced from an oil field, necessarily possess at least some minimum mobility. The reserve estimate, based on a 20-year decline, thus makes no allowance for improved future recoverability regardless of price, for increased price, which would prolong reservoir life by permitting a greater water-cut, or for government incentives, which would amount to the same thing as increased price.

Heavy oil and bitumen being produced today—by our evaluation about 1.4 billion barrels per year—are obviously economic, due to either incentives or production costs lower than price. We do not know very accurately the degree to which production might be affected by a signifi­cant price drop from late 1982 world oil prices of about $32-$34 (US) per barrel.

An important factor in heavy-oil production will be the increased desire of producing countries possessing both light and heavy crude oils to insist on exploitation of the latter while supplies of the former are still available as diluent.

RECOVERY Average recovery of heavy crude oil and bitumen from

the reservoir has historically been much lower than the average for all oils. However, there are so many variables among reservoirs with respect to homogeneity, geological settings, and the ways in which the fluid contents are cal­culated, that generalization should be conservative.

The average recovery factor in the U.S.S.R. for all oil is reported to be 43 percent (Dvorets, 1981); where wet combustion—air plus water-is used to help retain light oil fractions lost with dry combustion, heavy-oil recovery is increased by 25 to 30 percent. Steam has been used to raise recovery from 7 to 70 percent, and mining plus heat, as at Yarega and Balakhany, suggests recoveries to 90 percent.

In the United States, heavy oil producers obtain recov­eries, with the addition of thermal methods, of 40 to 55 percent, but hope, with the aid of foam and inert gases, to attain 70 percent recovery. Other recovery goals are to exploit reservoirs below 2,500 ft effectively and to find alternatives to the consumption of one-third of produced oil or its equivalent for steam generation (Williams, 1981). Cogeneration would appear to be useful under proper con­ditions, and gas, either natural or synthetic, for steam gen­eration would mitigate air-pollution problems. At Hunting­ton Beach, California, an offshore steam-injection project is starting, which will involve generators both on the platform and onshore. Another offshore steam-injection project is being commenced at Emeraude field, Congo (World Oil, 1982a). Although 23° gravity API oil is involved, the tech­niques will be applicable to future offshore heavy-oil discoveries. Recoveries of heavy oil from the Maracaibo and Falcon basin heavy oil fields of western Venezuela have been increased, by steam injection, from about 11 to 18 percent (Volkenborn, 1981; Burkill, 1982). Here, as pro­duced fluid is removed from the reservoir, compaction aids the recovery process. The recovery factor for the extra-heavy oil fields of the eastern Venezuela basin is 5.7 percent (Zamora & Gambrano, 1982), and for all Venezuelan

A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF WORLD HEAVY CRUDE OIL AND BITUMEN RESOURCES

heavy oil, including extra heavy, it is 14 percent. In the fringe fields of the Orinoco heavy-oil area of the eastern Venezuela basin innovative production techniques are used (Diaz, 1981). These include mechanical pump, hydraulic pump, gas lift, and the introduction of light oil into the wellbore as a diluent for the extra-heavy oil. Steam-injection projects have been introduced to gain experience for the major effort at exploitation now being initiated by Mene-ven and Lagoven; apparently, compaction in this area is not a factor in recovery (Vasquez & Pacheco, 1982). The Lagoven effort is part of a proposed production and refin­ing complex that will require 170,000 barrels per day (B/D) of production to yield 140,000 B/D of synthetic crude, the balance being for use at the refinery and in the field (Aalund, 1980). In Canada, the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (1982) and the Saskatchewan Depart­ment of Mineral Resources (1981) each publish basic data on reservoirs, including fractional recovery by both primary and enhanced methods. The bulk of the rocks in these provinces is clastic. Few of the primary recoveries ex­ceed 10 percent; however, waterflooding may add 18 per­cent or more. Incremental recovery by other methods is not given. Jha and Verma (1982) suggest that enhanced oil recovery in Lloydminster/Kindersley areas of Saskatchewan can yield 25 to 30 percent recoveries of the oil in-place.

The Alberta Board also prepares estimates of the amount of crude bitumen in-place in Alberta and, of that, the mine­able reserve. For this exercise, the Board calculates the amount of resource in-place, the amount having less than 75 m overburden, the portion of the resulting amount deemed to be economically strippable, and the amount lost for facilities. To this figure they apply a 75 percent mining/ extraction recovery factor, and to this, a 75 percent up­grading factor, which could be avoided in the future by application of different technology. The result is an overall recovery of about 23 percent before upgrading and 17.5 percent for synthetic liquid from the plant. The Board publishes no estimates for crude bitumen that would require production by in-situ methods or of the bitumen deemed to be presently unrecoverable because it is too deeply buried to strip mine and too shallow for in-situ thermal recovery.

Unfortunately, a vast gulf exists between actual recover­ies that use technologies proved to be workable and current­ly in operation and potential recoveries that will use tech­nologies still in the laboratory or, perhaps, field-pilot stage. The technical ability to recover heavy crude oil and bitumen and the energy costs for exploitation and upgrading, to­gether with production capacity, are factors of crucial importance to the future role of these resources. Bearing directly upon present recovery is the status of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as applied to heavy oil. The Oil and Gas Journal (1982d) listed known EOR projects, from which we have abstracted those being applied to heavy oil reser­voirs in the United States (table 16-8) and other places (table 16-9). In the U.S., the 132 projects produced about 81 million barrels per year from fields that produce a total of over 223 million barrels per year. The recovery tech­niques are dominated by steam soak and steam drive pro­

jects, mostly in California. Another thermal method, in-situ combustion, accounts for nearly 2 million barrels per year. Additional work is being done on other methods of EOR in the attempt to recover more heavy oil, especially by use of COi flooding and polymers. In other parts of the world, EOR projects, using mainly thermal recovery tech­niques, account for 18 million barrels per year in fields producing a total of 471 million barrels per year. Similar efforts with heavy oil are being made elsewhere, but information is less available. Clearly, in the years ahead the petroleum engineer will play an increasingly active role in making new oil supplies available, as exploration for new conventional deposits yields diminishing results.

Bitumen recovery projects are described in chapters 107 (U.S.A.) and 108 (Canada). These excellent reviews high­light the difficulties with respect to cost and technology attendant to the recovery of a significant portion of the reserves described in this chapter.

OIL MINING The mining of oil, and especially heavy oil, from shallow

oil reservoirs is perhaps the ultimate extension of the petro­leum engineer's goal of maximum possible oil recovery. Some reservoirs are sufficiently shallow to permit stripping of the overburden as is done with tar-sand deposits. At most places, however, the reservoirs will contain too small a volume of oil to be strip mined economically. The McKittrick field in California, U.S.A. is an example of the strip-mining approach (Oil & Gas Journal, 1982a). There, a recovery of as much as 380 million barrels from the diatomite reservoir rock is expected.

Another way to tackle the problem is to combine min­ing with thermal methods, as done in the U.S.S.R. at Yarega (Dvorets, Sorokin, & Surguchev, 1982; Dvorets, 1981). The technique is to sink a shaft through the reser­voir, run drifts out from the shaft, drill nearly horizontal holes from the drifts, stimulate the reservoir with steam, and collect the oil by gravity drainage. The method works, for at Yarega annual production is 4.2 million barrels. The same approach is scheduled for the Mildred Lake project in the Alberta, Canada Athabasca deposit (Quinn, 1981), in the U.S.S.R. at Balakhany, Azerbaijan (Dvorets, 1981), and at Tisdale Mountain, Wyoming, U.S.A. (Hutchins & Wassum, 1981).

The mining of oil goes far back in time but was practiced prominently early in this century at Wietze, West Germany and at Pechelbronn, France. Ruhl (1982) stated that about 15 percent of the Wietze oil in-place had been produced before oil mining started in 1920; the mining process, coupled with gravity drainage, led to an additional 22 percent recovery. A problem with oil mining is pointed out in the report by ESCAP (1982): attempts to mine Aus­tralia's Lakes Entrance field in the 1920s were stopped by water influx. Oil mining has been conducted in Japan and Romania as well (Schumacher, 1982).

Other examples of this extraction process could be cited, but these suffice to show that the method is deemed to be

HEAVY CRUDE AND TAR SANDS

practical and economic in many places. It may be assumed that screening procedures will be developed in many coun­tries to select candidate reservoirs, thereby adding greatly to recoverable reserves.

HEAVY OIL OFFSHORE The production of heavy oil from the offshore presently

is minimal; however, important offshore discoveries and re­sources are being identified and, at some places, attempts made to stimulate production. Among the known offshore fields containing heavy oil at least in part are Emeraude (Congo) (World Oil, 1982a), the Montedison No. 1 Vega (Sicily) (Oil & Gas Journal, 1981b), Bressay and Clair in the North Sea (Ruhl, 1982), the initial reservoir found in the No. 1 Chac in Campeche Sound, Mexico (Juarez Mendex, 1981), Huntington Beach (Williams, 1981), Wilm­ington offshore and Point Arguello, California (Oil & Gas Journal, 1982c), and Soldado, Trinidad.

Two discoveries have been made offshore in the Adriatic Sea: Ancona-Pescara and Vasto (Dalla Casa et al., 1981). Neither of these fields is as yet in production. Discoveries have been made in the Mediterranean, offshore Spain at San Carlos I and II (Rosing, 1981), as well as offshore Senegal at Flore Dome.

Efforts at steam injection are being made at Emeraude by Elf, at Huntington Beach by Aminoil, and in the off­shore portion of Wilmington field, California by a consort­ium of operators (THUMS group). Such projects add a new dimension to offshore oil exploitation because of the requirement for steam generation at the site (platform) or through insulated steam lines from onshore. It is a mark of

the interest in crude oil supply that such projects are being attempted.

UNDISCOVERED RESOURCES The levels of undiscovered or poorly known recoverable

resources in our report are presumed to be understood— perhaps vastly so—because we estimate such quantities only upon the basis of published information. For the United States we first identified a volume of known oil in each basin that is heavy (table 16-10). We then applied the pro­portion of heavy oil to the amount of undiscovered oil in each basin, as estimated by Dolton and others (1981). Then we added a conservative estimate of the presently poorly known reserves in the Santa Barbara channel off­shore California; recent discoveries in and near the Point Arguello field indicate important heavy oil reserves there (Oil & Gas Journal, 1982c).

Outside the United States (table 16-11) we used a similar approach for those countries surveyed by Masters and others (Masters, 1981ab; Masters & Peterson, 1981ab; Masters & Riva, 1981; Ulmishek & Harrison, 1982). As with the United States, this approach to undiscovered heavy oil is valid, but the results are entirely dependent upon the accuracy of the original estimates of total oil, and for all countries the median estimates were accepted. Else­where, the estimates are those given in the references, except for the few resulting from personal discussions.

Table 16-12 gives estimates for bitumen in deposits that are either poorly known or else in portions of well-known deposits as yet not well-defined. Probably a large part of many of the deposits shown in other tables as reserves should be listed here instead; only for the United States and

A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF WORLD HEAVY CRUDE OIL AND BITUMEN RESOURCES

Canada is the necessary detail available to make such distinctions.

In table 16-13 are listed some of the announced heavy and extra-heavy oil discoveries that are yet to be defined. These occurrences suggest that heavy crude oil will contin­ue to be found in more and more places throughout the world.

The additional bitumen deposits summarized in table 16-14 were visited by Abraham (1960) over many years, beginning about 1900. A great many of them have been exploited in the past, some since antiquity, mainly for paving materials and calking.

PRODUCTION AND RESERVES Tables 16-15, 16-16, and 16-17give,by country, except

the United States, and by field or deposit, the cumulative and annual production and reserves for heavy crude oil, extra-heavy crude oil, and bitumen. For the United States, the data are sorted according to geologic province and, within the province, by state. Heavy crudes and bitumen may be associated with natural gas reservoirs or else contain gas in solution, but statistics on the volumes of such gas are generally sparse to nonexistent. Tables 16-15, 16-16, and 16-17 plus those on the undiscovered resources (tables 16-10, 16-11, and 16-12) are the basis for the summary tables. The annual production for the United States and Canada is that for 1980; for other countries the data are mostly those of ] 979.

Table 16-18 provides an estimate of the amounts of bitumen and related hydrocarbons produced from surface deposits during the period 1906-1931, although the U.S. data extend to 1958, when such operations essentially had

ceased. About 1900, petroleum asphalt commenced to compete with the natural occurrences and, because of eco­nomic as well as technologic advantages, eventually won essentially the entire market. It is not clear if the tonnages in table 16-18 refer to essentially pure (mineral-free) asphalt or to asphaltic rock; if the former, the total represents roughly 330 million barrels. This, coupled with cumulative production of heavy and extra-heavy crude oil and bitu­men, indicates a cumulative production to date of more than 50 billion barrels.

AREA CONSIDERATIONS For the following areas of the world, additional informa­

tion is available that may assist in understanding the full scope of heavy oil and bitumen operations in the world.

China Available data for China are scant. It is reasonable to

assume that our information is understated, considering that heavy oil is known to exist in 20 fields and that the country is little explored. The only available production data are for Sheng-Ii field; actual heavy oil production could be ten times this amount.

Gabon The abandoned coastal fields of Pointe Clairette, Cap

Lopez, and M'Bega, each containing reserves no greater than 10 million barrels, will be tested for cyclic steam injec­tion (World Oil, 1982a).

Italy Dalla Casa and others (1981) estimate proved and prob­

able reserves of heavy crude oil and bitumen in-place in

Italy to be about 350 million tons (2.45 billion barrels) or about 600 million barrels at 25 percent recovery. This com­pares with about 350 million barrels by our estimate of reserves plus cumulative production. They also projected a possible 1,200 million tons (8.4 billion barrels) of oil in-place in fields already discovered but not developed. They made no estimate of potential reserves; Ruhl (1982) consid­ered a 10 percent recovery to be likely in these fields.

With respect to the bitumen deposits ofltaly.it appears that earlier reports (Meyer & Dietzman, 1981) have been unduly optimistic and the apparent errors in estimation have been duly reported (Dalla Casa et al., 1981). However, the natural asphalt in the Ragusa area in Sicily appears to contain more than 1 billion barrels of oil in-place,some of which has been mined for road asphalt but most of which is deemed uneconomic for exploitation for oil in the fore­seeable future.

Middle East Nehring (1981) made the point that the known heavy-

oil reservoirs of the Middle East contain 50-90 billion barrels of oil in-place, whereas total oil in-place for the area is about 1.5 trillion barrels. The heavy oil resource, there­fore, is of minor immediate consequence. Although this may be an accurate statement,it is presumably conservative, for there has been little incentive to date to test, much less report, accumulations of heavy oil. Kharusi (1982) estimat­ed that Oman fields include 5.8 billion barrels of oil in-place that is heavier than 25° gravity API. Most of the oil in north and central Oman is light, except in Qarn Alam field. In the south, there are heavy-oil accumulations, such as that in the large Marmul field.

Nigeria and Adjoining Countries The estimated resources of Nigeria are very large. At the

UNITAR Conference in Caracas it was suggested that the bitumen of the Dahomey embayment might extend west­ward into Benin and Togo. On the basis of the stratigraphic work performed in Nigeria, this does not appear to be

correct, the bitumen-bearing sandstones pinching out in western Nigeria.

North Sea Published evaluations as well as conference discussions

indicate that the heavy oil resources of the North Sea may amount to several billions of barrels. It likely will be at least a decade before better estimates are forthcoming.

Peru Pardo (1981) attributed a total of in-place heavy-oil

reserves for the Maranon basin of 1.5 billion barrels. Conse­quently, the basin is an attractive area for exploration. In­deed, northwestern South America, including Ecuador and Colombia, in addition to Peru, is one of the prime world heavy-oil targets.

Senegal The Flore Dome, containing an estimated 100 million

tons (700 million barrels) of oil of 10° gravity API is located 60 km offshore at a water depth of 60 m in the 1 Casamance region (Unpublished report, 1979). The field is yet to be exploited.

U.S.S.R. Information on the producing reservoirs of the Soviet

Union is deficient. With respect to bitumen deposits, how­ever, a great deal is known. We do not believe that any of the listed deposits are duplicates; regardless, the apparent amount of contained bitumen and its distribution across that vast nation makes the Russian deposits notable. With eventual decline in medium and light crude oil reserves, and progress in extraction technology in frigid climates, these deposits will certainly be exploited. It has been suggested (Walters, 1974) that the Olenek deposit perhaps may be of the same order of magnitude as the Athabasca deposit. Beskrovnyy, Krymov, and Tolkachev (1981) indicated that reserves of bituminous rocks in the U.S.S.R. are still poorly known. Only the reserves at Pervomaysk and Notanebsk are

HEAVY CRUDE AND TAR SANDS

defined, as well as the Sadinsk asphaltite deposit of 194,000 tons. Furthermore, it may some day be possible to extract synthetic fuels from the Devonian and Carboniferous shales of the Volga-Urals region, estimated to represent perhaps the equivalent of 2.1 trillion (1012) barrels of bitumen (Dvorets, Sorokin, and Surguchev, 1982). Although not including resource estimates, the review of Soviet bitumen deposits and their reservoir characteristics by Khalimov et al. (1981) is very complete and serves to direct attention to the breadth of their occurrence. It defines the petroleum provinces of the U.S.S.R. and highlights the significant areas of bitumen deposits. More than 200 heavy-oil and bitumen deposits have been described in the Tatar-Melekess area, totaling 127 billion barrels, and more than 50 deposits are reported in the south Emba area, mostly associated with salt domes. In support of the estimate of the Olenek deposit given above, Khalimov et al. (1981) indicated that it is indeed of major importance, having sandstones 5-50 m thick, porosities of 20 percent or more, permeabilities of 100 md, and a length of 50-60 km. Also described is the Siligir-Markhinsk deposit in a belt of carbonate rocks cover­ing 6,000 km2. Gross thickness of the bitumen-impregnated rocks is 500 m, with individual beds as much as 15 m thick. The authors stated that at the present time the deposit at Yarega is the only one being commercially mined, but mining was attempted in the past in Daghestan ASSR, Azerbaijan SSR, Groznyy, and the Ukraine.

Soviet interest in enhanced oil recovery and heavy oil is clear from the report of Baibakov and Garushev (1977). They described operations in several areas. On Sakhalin the main heavy-oil reserves (17°-22° API) are found in the Okha, Katangli, Uyglekuoty, East Ekhabi, and West Sabo fields. The introduction of steam heat in these fields not only stabilized production but led to an increase of 25 percent over the 1975 level. The tunnel method is used to exploit the 15.9° API heavy crude in the Yarega field. In the most recent production technique, steam and water are injected from tunnels into the reservoir, with oil drainage through a ramp to the lower horizon. Ultimate oil recovery is expected to exceed 50 percent and may be as great as 90 percent, with annual production to increase from 0.25 thousand tons (1,800 barrels) in 1976 to a peak of 1 million tons (73 million barrels).

U.S.A. Although the United States appears to rank only sixth

among nations in heavy-oil and bitumen resources, it has been the scene of intense research in heavy-oil extraction methods. The heavy oil is concentrated in California, the state that also appears to include the bulk of the undiscov­ered and poorly known resources.

Recently, heavy oil in-place totalling as much as 40 billion barrels has been identified at the Kuparuk field on Alaska's North Slope (table 16-15). Additional heavy oil occurs in the Santa Barbara channel offshore (table 16-10), and onshore exploration is being conducted in the area of the San Ardo field.

Venezuela There is little question that the Orinoco heavy oil belt

in the eastern Venezuela basin is one of the world's great reserves of crude oil. The belt presently is the subject of intense investigation by the various Venezuelan national oil companies (Zamora & Gambrano, 1982; Vasquez & Pach-eco, 1982; Fiorillo, 1982; Borregales, 1982; Diaz, 1981). In addition, large amounts of heavy crude oil are found elsewhere in Venezuela both in known fields and fields ex­pected to be discovered in the future.

It is still too early to define the exact size of the Orinoco heavy oil belt, but present indications are that its oil in-place is in the range of 700-1,000 billion barrels. Already 3.1 billion barrels from the heavy oil area are included in Venezuela's official proved reserves. Table 16-19 sum­marizes Venezuela's official production and reserves data (Omana, 1982). The data compiled by field in the tables in this report obviously do not match the official data. In time it should be possible to correct these deficiencies in our data base, but for present purposes, to compare heavy-oil and bitumen resources throughout the world, the data as given in our tables are adequate.

WORLD SUMMARY Tables 16-20, 16-21, and 16-22 summarize for each

country heavy and extra-heavy crude oil, and bitumen, respectively, with respect to production, reserves, and ulti­mate recovery. Table 16-23 then summarizes, by country,

the total estimated remaining recoverable reserves of each commodity, including that which is undiscovered or poorly known. Original oil and bitumen in-place have not been summed, although they total more than 5 trillion barrels.

We estimate recoverable reserves to be 609.6 billion barrels or some 10 percent of in-place reserves, of which 334.8 billion barrels or 55 percent is either undiscovered or, more commonly, simply poorly known. Of the country totals, Venezuela possesses 45 percent; the U.S.S.R., 26 percent; Canada, 10 percent; Nigeria, Mexico, and the U.S.A., 12 percent; and all the rest, 7 percent.

A recent estimate places ultimate total recoverable world crude oil reserves at nearly 1,800 billion barrels (Halbouty & Moody, 1979), a figure that no doubt includes some of the oil estimated by us but probably rather little of it. This estimate of 1,800 billion barrels is about 3.4 times as large as the comparable figure for heavy oil and bitumen. How­ever, if the 1,800 billion barrels is roughly one-third the original conventional oil in-place, then the two resources-

conventional and heavy plus bitumen—are volumetrically comparable. That is, each approximates 5,000 billion barrels in-place. There is, of course, much more room for incremental recovery above the postulated reserve level for the heavy crude oil and bitumen. Of far greater significance is the apparent very large size of the total hydrocarbon resource potential, including conventional oil and gas, heavy and extra-heavy oil, and bitumen; this, of course, does not include natural gas and associated gas liquids.

The remaining recoverable heavy oil and bitumen re­source indeed is large. It is sobering to consider, however, that this roughly 600 billion barrels represents but 12 years supply of world primary energy consumption on an oil-equivalent basis, based on the 1981 level of 50 bfllion barrels (British Petroleum Company, 1982). No single energy source can fill all needs, but such a perspective clearly illustrates the limitations of nonrenewable resources. It is imperative that the necessary incentive for exploration and production of the petroleum resource base be provided.
