The interactions of Athabasca asphaltenes and heavy oil with metal chlorides are described. The asphaltenes are converted to insoluble, presumably higher molecular weight, products which contain substantial amounts of chemically bound chlorine. The heavy oils were converted partly into insoluble pro

In-situ combustion is a thermal recovery method applicable to heavy oil locations. The thermal energy released by partial burning ofthe crude oil is significant in the displacement of the remaining oil. During an underground combustion process, exothermic oxidation reactions involving oxygen and hyd
This contribution reports on a study of the rheological behavior of Athabasca topped heavy oil as a prototype oil derived from western Canadian bitumen. Mixtures of crudes with additives such as pentane and toluene are studied. Data obtained using three different rheometers superpose rather well. Ob
Athabasca oil sand on degassing in vacua releases gases volatile at -78ยฐC which are composed of neopentane, methane, acetaldehyde, propane and propylene. At elevated temperature, 70-21O"C, additional quantities of these materials are produced by thermo-Iysis along with other C2-C5 hydrocarbons, CO2,
## Abstract Oil sand is a mixture of quartz grains, clay minerals, bitumen, water, and minor accessory minerals. There is a need in oil sands mining operations for a robust method to estimate total bitumen content in real time; and so modelling of the total bitumen content (TBC) in Athabasca oil sa
