Natural Bitumen and Extra-Heavy Oil Country Notes

Azerbaijan

The natural bitumen resources are small and will probably not be used as a source of energy in the near future. The deposits are located within the South Caspian Basin, and the best known is Cheildag (Waters, 1974). The large extra-heavy oil accumulation was discovered in 1904.
