초록

기존의 경질유가 고갈됨에 따라 새로운 자원개발이 필요해지고 있다. 석유화학산업의 수요를 충족하기 위하여 중질유 혹은 비투맨 등과 같은 중질원료를 사용하고 있다. 비투맨은 복잡하고 고리가 긴 탄화수소의 일종으로 오일샌드로 부터 얻을 수 있는데, 캐나다 앨버타에 매장되어 있는 오일샌드로부터 약 8,300억 배럴의 오일을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 추정된다. 본 보문에서는 (1) 오일샌드, 비투맨, 중질유의 기본 개념, (2) 오일샌드에서 오일을 뽑아내는 방법들, (3) 업그레이드하여 합성원유(synthetic crude oil)를 만드는 방법, (4) 기술의 경제성 평가 등에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

As conventional light oil resources deplete, it is becoming necessary to develop unconventional resources. To meet the demand for petrochemical industry, heavier sources such as heavy oil and bitumen are being utilized. Bitumens, a complex hydrocarbon made up of a long chain of molecules, are found in oil sand. It is estimated that 830 billion barrels of oil are located in the oil sand in Alberta, Canada. This paper will review briefly (1) the basic concept of oil sand, bitumen, and heavy oil, (2) methods how to extract oil from oil sand, (3) methods how to upgrade to synthetic crude oil, and (4) economic evaluation of technology.
