Bituminous sands (Oil Sand) :

China - A comprehensive geological survey characterizing bituminous sand deposit (Oil Sand). The survey was carried out between 2005 and  2010 and included three drilling campaigns, totaling 160 drill cores, and accompaniment of the aerial magnetic and electromagnetic survey, in an area of 270 square kilometers. Data processing included the creation of a three-dimensional model of the deposit reserve, an estimation model for examining the economic parameters of the deposit (e.g. tv:bip), valuation, drainage basin analysis, testing the oil flow model, and geochemical characterization of the Oil Sands.  In 2010 a pilot plant was built in order to produce oil in an innovative manner. Geo-prospect professionals participated in the technological development, design, and construction of a small mine at the site.

Albania – A comprehensive geological survey bituminous sand deposit characterization (Oil Sand). The survey, which began in 2010 at a site covering an area of 8 square kilometers, included extensive geological mapping and core drilling to a depth of 180 meters. In 2012 the company began a survey to characterize the bitumen sand layer at an additional site covering an area of about 4 square kilometers. Data processing, which is underway, includes three dimensional modeling for estimation of reserves and geochemical characterization. At the same time we participate, as team members, examining the oil production
