What is the signifiants of athabasca oil sands in canada

It would be, The Athabasca oil sands deposit, Alberta, Canada, is one of the largest known hydrocarbon accumulations. The efficient exploitation of this deposit, as well as other oil sand accumulations throughout the world, is based onin situ recovery and surface mining methods. Quantitative modeling of deposit heterogeneity provides a valuable engineering tool. In the present study, conditional simulation was used to model oil-saturated zones in part of the Athabasca deposit. This technique generates equiprobable models of thein situ variability of essential deposit attributes that honor the available data and their spatial statistics. The application of the technique is based on the delineation of geologically homogeneous zones within the host McMurray Formation, their statistical validity, and the integration of geological interpretations. The geological framework is developed, and subsequently, high resolution conditionally simulated models of three identified hydrocarbon-bearing zones are generated, in terms of the zone boundaries and the percent weight of oil saturation. These models serve as “what-if” tools for risk assessment and future planning.
