Bitumen is the impure, tar-like substance that is derived as a bi-product of the factional distillation of crude oil.
Bitumen is a naturally occurring viscous mixture, mainly of hydrocarbons heavier than pentane, that may contain sulphur compounds and that, in its natural occurring viscous state, is not recoverable at a commercial rate through a well.
