Oil and natural gas are the largest natural energy resources in Canada and there is no doubt that the extraction and revenue from oil and natural gas is an imperative component of the economy. As the demand for oil and gas increases globally, and, furthermore, as oil prices reached their lowest value, an efficient recovery and extraction method of heavy-oil and bitumen has become a priority for the government, the oil industry, research centres, and universities. A major research initiative undertaken by the University of Alberta in response to developing economically and ecologically viable technologies for extracting or tapping unconventional oil reserves and resources has been developed and executed by Dr. Babadagli under two-term NSERC Industrial Research Chair (in Unconventional Oil Recovery) since 2011 and three-term NSERC Discovery Grants (between 2003 and 2017).

石油和天然气是加拿大最大的自然能源资源，石油和天然气的开采和收入无疑是经济的重要组成部分。随着全球对石油和天然气的需求增加，再加上油价跌至最低点，高效的重油和沥青回收和提取方法已成为政府、石油行业、研究中心和大学的优先事项。针对开发经济和生态上可行的开采或开采非常规石油储量和资源的技术，艾伯塔大学开展了一项重大研究活动，Babadagli博士自2011年以来一直在NSERC工业研究教席(非常规石油开采)的两期和NSERC的三期发现补助金(2003至2017年)下开发和执行这项倡议。
