Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The physical and chemical characteristics of oils from Western Kazakhstan have been studied in relation to their potential as raw materials for producing specialized binders for the road construction within the country. This study includes a detailed description of the features of the principal oil deposits in this region. It has been shown that these existing deposits are capable of meeting the demand for bitumen production. In addition, an assessment comparing the real and recoverable reserves of these oils in terms of the bitumen production has been conducted.
