COMPOSITIONAL VARIABILITY IN BITUMENS FROM EOLIC SEDIMENTARY FACIES OF PIRAMBÓIA FORMATION, PARANÁ BASIN, BRAZIL: CHARACTERIZING BIODEGRADATION

COMPOSITIONAL VARIABILITY IN BITUMENS FROM EOLIC SEDIMENTARY FACIES OF PIRAMBÓIA FORMATION, PARANÁ BASIN, BRAZIL: CHARACTERIZING BIODEGRADATION

Bitumen accumulations were identified within eolic sedimentary facies of Pirambóia Formation, in the eastern margin of Paraná Basin in Brazil. This basin is known to have great mineable oil sand accumulations (tar sands), with one of the 19 occurrences with amount of oil in place estimated in 6 mill...
