Figure 18. Total primary energy production in Alberta (ERCB 2012). NGL natural gas liquids. Crude bitumen is heavy and extra-heavy oil that at reservoir conditions has a very high viscosity such that it will not naturally flow to a well bore. Administra- tively, in Alberta, the geologic formations (whether clastic or carbonate) and the geographic areas con- taining the bitumen are designated as the Athabasca, Cold Lake or Peace River oil sands areas (Fig. 19). Most of the in-place bitumen is hosted within unlith- ified sands of the Lower Cretaceous Wabiskaw– McMurray deposit in the in situ development area (Table 5), followed by the Grosmont carbonate bitu- men deposit, and the Wabiskaw–McMurray deposit in the surface mineable area (Table 5). Reassessments for the Athabasca-Grosmont carbonate bitumen (done in 2009) and the Athabasca- Grand Rapids oil sands and Athabasca-Nisku car- bonate bitumen deposits (done in 2011) are included in the initial in-place volumes of crude bitumen (Table 5). The Nisku reassessment resulted in a 57% increase in initial bitumen volume in place. The Nisku Formation, like the Athabasca-Grosmont carbonate bitumen deposit, is a shelf carbonate that has under- gone significant leaching and karstification, with the creation of an extensive vug and cavern network. Conventional oil migrated and infilled the paleocave deposits and then degraded in place to form the bitumen. Other prospective carbonate bitumen res- ervoirs are being explored west of the town site of Fort McMurray, with initial industry estimates indicating that bitumen pay zones may exceed 100 m (328 ft) in

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
