Abstract

As a kind of an energy source to replace petroleum, the importance of oilsands is being emphasized as time goes on. In this paper, the trend of technology for the treatment of oil from oilsands was scrutinized using the patent analysis. The patents analyzed here were limited to them issued from 1973 to 2009. The technology trend of oil treatment of oilsands was analyzed by classifying each patent based on the year of publication, the country, the type of technology, and the major applicant of the patent.

오일샌드는 석유를 대체할 에너지원의 하나로서 그 중요성이 갈수록 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특허분석에 기초하여 오일샌드 오일처리 기술의 기술동향을 조사 분석하였다. 특허분석에 사용된 특허는 1973년부터 2009년까지의 특허로 한정하였다. 오일샌드 오일처리 기술동향은 출원년도, 출원국가, 기술의 종류 그리고 주요 출원인으로 분류하여 분석되었다.
