In Enhanced Recovery Methods for Heavy Oil and Tar Sands‎,‎ Speight provides the current methods of recovery for heavy oil and tar sand bitumen technology‎,‎ broken down by thermal and non‎-thermal methods‎.‎ An engineer‎,‎ graduate student or professional working with heavy oil‎,‎ upcoming and current‎,‎ will greatly benefit from this much‎-needed text‎.‎ Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sand bitumen resources‎.‎ With conventional production steadily declining‎,‎ advances in enhanced recovery will be required so that oil production can be extended and reservoirs last longer‎.‎ A practical guide on heavy‎-oil related recovery methods is essential for all involved in heavy oil production‎.‎ To feed this demand‎,‎ James Speight‎,‎ a well‎-respected scientist and author‎,‎ provides a must‎-read for all scientists‎,‎ engineers and technologists that are involved in production enhancement‎.‎
