More Information
Summary:A method for the recovery of hydrocarbons from oil-bearing resources comprising diatomite entails a process that treats a material comprising diatomite resulting from a resource extraction process. The material comprising diatomite is treated using a solvent extraction process from which the oil, diatomite, and water are separated. The water and solvent extracted from the process are reused to continue the separation and resource extraction processes and the oil is collected and sold.
