Venezuela Mainly heavy oil Viscosity within a range of cp 2010 Aspen Technology, Inc. Western Canada Mainly in the form of oil sands in Alberta 44% of Canadian oil production in 2007 was from oil sands, with an additional 18% being heavy crude oil Average density is API = 8 Viscosity within a range ,000 cp, and higher (up to 100,000 cp) 2.

Heavy oil deposits total almost 5½ trillion barrels (est.) 80% of deposits are in the Western Hemisphere - In the U.S., heavy hydrocarbon deposits are estimated to be more than eight times that of the nation's remaining reserves of conventional crude oil 2010 Aspen Technology, Inc.

By definition, has API gravity 1,000 cp Has over 60 carbon atoms, and hence, a high BP & MW Mainly comprised of hydrocarbons heavier than pentanes, with a high ratio of aromatics and naphthenes to paraffins High amounts of nitrogen, sulfur (~5%), oxygen and heavy metals Exists in a semi-solid state and may not flow in its naturally occurring state 2010 Aspen Technology, Inc.
