A facility comprising integrated systems for the extraction, and optionally upgrading and/or refinement, of unconventional oil sources, using fossil fuels as a primary source of energy. In particular, this facility provides a means to gasify one or more fossil fuels in an efficient manner, converting it into intermediate products such as heat, steam and electricity, which are then used by the system to obtain useful fuel products from unconventional oil sources such as tar sands and oil shale. The design of the components of this facility is optimized such that the overall costs are competitive with an equivalent unconventional oil source processing facility that uses natural gas as a source of processing energy. The facility can be used on its own, may use supplemental natural gas energy sources, or may be used in conjunction with an existing facility that uses natural gas as an energy source in order to improve the overall cost effectiveness of the processing and/or reduce the requirement for other energy sources, such as natural gas.

L'invention concerne une installation comprenant des systèmes intégrés pour l'extraction et, éventuellement, l'amélioration et/ou le raffinage de sources de pétrole non conventionnelles, dans lesquels sont utilisés des combustibles fossiles comme source d'énergie principale. Cette installation comprend, en particulier, un moyen de gazéification efficace d'un ou de plusieurs combustibles fossiles, convertissant ceux-ci en produits intermédiaires, tels que la chaleur, la vapeur et l'électricité, qui sont alors utilisés par le système pour obtenir des produits combustibles utiles à partir de sources de pétrole non conventionnelles telles que des sables asphaltiques et du schiste bitumineux. La conception des composants de cette installation est optimisée de façon que le coût total soit compétitif par rapport à une installation de traitement de sources de pétrole non conventionnelles équivalente utilisant du gaz naturel comme source d'énergie de traitement. L'installation peut être utilisée seule, peut utiliser des sources d'énergie de gaz naturel supplémentaires ou peut être utilisée conjointement avec une installation existante utilisant du gaz naturel comme source d'énergie afin d'améliorer le rapport coût-efficacité total du traitement et/ou réduire la nécessité d'autres sources d'énergie, telles que le gaz naturel.
