Expanding Heavy Oil and Bitumen Resources while Mitigating GHG Emissions and Increasing Sustainability - A Technology Roadmap - PDF (1 MB)
Inaccessible Resource Issues – Getting Past the Gravy Presentation

This report outlines new R&D directions needed for long-term development of bitumen resources that are currently deemed to be economically "inaccessible", and also might be applied to near-term currently developed "accessible" resources.

The Project Funding:
NRCan - Climate Change Technology Innovation Initiative - $180k; ADOE Oil Sands - $20k; and PTAC members over $250k (estimated) in-kind support.
