Feasibility Of Environmentally Friendly Solvent in Bitumen Recovery Through Solvent-Steam Processes (2018-06-28)Steam flooding is the most widely used and reliable thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process to recover bitumen. However, the excessive water required to generate steam causes environmental concerns. Thus, a noble idea ...
-
(2021-04-20)Solvent injection recovery processes were introduced as a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to Steam injection processes. However, BTX chemicals commonly used for crude oil recovery due to their ...

(2016-04-26)Solvent-steam-flooding (SSF) processes have several advantages over steamflooding for bitumen extraction. It is well known that the addition of solvent increases oil production and mitigates environmental impacts due to ...
-
(2016-05-06)Adding solvents to steam flooding processes during bitumen production can reduce the water and natural gas usage but may create a new unique set of problems. Most solvents are toxic and are prohibited to be used on sites. ...
