Description
The Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) deposit, the largest petroleum accumulation in the world, is extremely heterogeneous with respect to physical reservoir characteristics such as geometry, component distribution, porosity, permeability; mineralogy and mineral chemistry; aqueous fluid distribution and chemistry; and the distribution and chemistry of bitumen. Variations in these properties appear to be interrelated, and reflect the dynamic and complex depositional history as well as post-depositional oil alteration processes.
