Middle East Producers See More Heavy Oil in their Future - Arab News
MIDDLE East oil countries should increase production of heavy oil as oil prices remain higher and improved technology makes it easier, those attending an industry conference in Bahrain were told.
Bahrain's oil minister, Abdulhussain Mirza, told the Heavy Oil World MENA conference that heavy oil reserves in the region were estimated at 1 trillion barrels, or 28 percent of total world reserves, but historically accounted for little more than 10 percent of production.
"The vast reserve demonstrates the importance of heavy oil as a future energy source, one that cannot be overlooked and, therefore, companies that position themselves early in the heavy oil business are likely to win the game," Mirza said, according to local news reports.
