Addresses unfamiliar feeds and provides a reference on the background, process technology and downstream applications required to help refineries maximize profits turning low-value feedstock to beneficial syngas and other fuel products.

Unconventional reservoirs of oil and gas represent a huge additional global source of fossil fuels. This book provides the reader with an understandable overview of the chemistry and engineering behind the developments and technologies in the industry as well as the various environmental regulations.

As conventional-oil resources are depleted worldwide, vast heavy oil reserves available in various parts of the world become increasingly important as a secure future energy source. This title discusses the improvements in production processes including; thermal methods as well as non-thermal methods.

Provides the reader with an understandable overview of the chemistry, engineering, and technology of oil sands. This book features: overview of the chemistry, engineering, and technology of oil sands; updates on the evolving processes and new processes; and evolving and environmental regulations regarding oil sands production processes.

Shale oil represents a huge additional global fossil fuel resource. This book is suitable for scientists and engineers already engaged in fossil fuel science and technology as well as scientists, non-scientists, engineers, and non-engineers who wish to gain a general overview or update of the science and technology of fossil fuels.

The extraction of natural gas from shale formations is no simple task and perhaps the most expensive when compared to over unconventional gases. This title begins with an overview of the chemistry, engineering and technology of shale gas. It discusses methods used to reduce environmental footprint and improve well performance.

Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sand bitumen resources. This title focuses on heavy-oil related recovery methods. It provides the methods of recovery for heavy oil and tar sand bitumen technology, broken down by thermal and non-thermal methods.
