Sophisticated secondary and tertiary recovery methods exist to get that oil out: injecting high-pressure steam or liquid chemical solvents to dissolve the crude from tiny fissures in the rock. Some drilling experts calculate that the recovery rate could be increased to 60%, which would almost double U.S. recoverable reserves. The market price would be high-$14 to $20 per bbl.-but it might be reduced by technological breakthroughs...
