Extracting and refining this oil can pose significant challenges, including very high transportation costs. As a result, processes which produce and partially refine heavy oil in situ, known as catalytic  upgrading, are an increasingly important part of the heavy oil extraction process, and the reduced carbon footprint associated with these methods promises to make them even more significant in the coming years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive introduction to these processes.
