OIL SANDOil sands are a combination of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. They are heavy, black and viscous, but can be mined and processed to extract the oil-rich bitumen, which is then refined into oil. While the energy properties and potential of oil sands have been recognized for centuries, there had been no significant attempt to develop the resource until the mid 1960s.
Oil sands are currently found in about 70 countries, including Canada, the former Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba, Indonesia, Brazil, Jordan, Madagascar, Trinidad, Colombia, Albania, Rumania, Spain, Portugal, Nigeria, and Argentina. The United States contains scattered deposits of oil sands, mainly in Utah, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, and New Mexico.
Three quarters of the world's reserves are located in two regions: Venezuela and the Athabasca region of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada. Oil sands represent as much as 66% of the world's total oil reserves, with at least 1.7 trillion barrels in the Canadian Athabasca tar sands and 1.8 trillion barrels in the Venezuelan Orinoco oil sands, compared to 1.75 trillion barrels of conventional oil, mostly located in Saudi Arabia and other Middle-Eastern countries.

In addition huge amounts of oil shale containing non liquid hydro carbons. After extraction of the shale oil, it will have an API of about 25-30 API.

Oil Price
Conventional oil reserves and new discoveries (supply) to replace them are rapidly declining
Global demand for the supply and production of oil will continue to increase despite lower replacement of reserves
Heavy oil will increasingly need to be processed (upgraded) into synthetic crude to replace shrinking conventional supply

THE BENEFITS OF THE TARBLASTER TECHNOLOGY
Low energy consumption
Self-sustained with energy by combustion of low value energy (the most heavy part of the oil)
Reduced CO2 emission
No water consumption
Extraction and upgrading oil sand in one operation
Reduce capital investments about 80%
Easy to scale up
Increased value of oil by:• Increased API FROM 8 to 25 (*)• Reduce sulphur and metal content
(*) Proved API 18, but believe it will be possible to reach
API 25 by an add on process
