Research and Markets: Heavy Crude Oil: A Global Analysis & Outlook to 2030

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b2f87c/heavy_crude_oil_a) has announced the addition of the "Heavy Crude Oil: A Global Analysis & Outlook to 2030" report to their offering.

“Heavy Crude Oil: A Global Analysis & Outlook to 2030”

The only report available to help you understand each region of the world from the Canadian tar sands, Mexico and the Orinoco, to China's reserves, offshore Brazil fields, developments in Korea and more...

The Report Provides:

• Detailed analysis of North American PADD regions
• Disposition by region - internal market vs. export
• Country-by-country analysis
• - Resources and state of development
• - Costs and economics
• - Political, environmental and regulatory considerations
• - Production forecasts
• New heavy oil projects and expansions
• Technology, constraints and environmental impacts
• NEW THIS YEAR - Pricing analysis, cost of processing different quality crudes
• Updated/Expanded Section on Refinery Technology
• Includes Maps of Heavy Oil Basins and Existing Heavy Oil Pipelines

This comprehensive analysis and report on global heavy oil production and outlook was conducted to provide an in-depth regional analysis of the quantities and characteristics of the various types of heavy crude oils that will be entering the market in the next 20 years. The analysis covers both the upstream and downstream aspects of heavy oil, with summaries of the current and potential future technologies that will allow more of these resources to be produced and refined in the future. Potential constraints are summarized by region, both technological and political constraints and uncertainties. Considerable focus is given to environmental issues and how technology can allow heavy oil developments to proceed without excess damage to the environment.

The effect of near term cost reductions on heavy oil projects due to lower commodities prices and potential increases in costs associated with reducing greenhouse gas emissions will be highlighted.

New technologies also impact the economic viability of heavy and non-conventional crude oil development. This year's global heavy oil report includes an updated section on technology.

Finally, Hart Energy's consultants have added a new chapter on pricing, including valuation of crudes in the refining market, heavy crude oil prices and differentials, and pricing outlook.
