Assume pore contain only oil and


2. The oil sands of Alberta, Canada contain commercially viable quantities of oil. The   average properties of the oil sands are as follows:

- Initial bulk density = 2.06 Mg/m3

- Initial porosity = 0.35

- Oil saturation = 70% of pore volume

- Specific gravity of soil solids = 2.68

- Specific gravity of oil = 0.86

- Note: assume pore contain only oil and water (no air)
