(2015-08-05)The presence of complex water-in-oil emulsions is a growing concern in heavy oil recovery due to the complexity and expenses involved in separating the water from the produced oil. Hence, it is of paramount importance to ...
-
(2017-08-07)Hydrocarbon solvents are known to improve the overall oil recovery from oil sands when co-injected with steam, compared to steam injection alone in thermal enhanced oil recovery. However, the quality of the recovered oil ...
-
(2017-08-10)Removing submicrometer-sized oil droplets from water is still one of the leading challenges in the separation of emulsions. In the oil and gas industry, emulsions are handled in one of two distinctive ways: the stabilization ...
-
(2016-12-09)The volume of heavy oil/bitumen recoverable worldwide is vast in quantity but difficult and energy intensive to extract due to the high in-situ oil viscosity of these unconventional plays. One method of thermal recovery, ...
-
(2011-02-22)Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is used widely as a thermal recovery technique in Canada to produce a very viscous bitumen formation. The main research objectives of this simulation and experimental study are to ...
-
(2013-05-09)Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has been demonstrated as a proven technology to unlock heavy oil and bitumen in Canadian reservoirs. Given the large energy requirements and volumes of emitted greenhouse gases from ...

An Itegrated Approach to Water Treatment in Oil and Gas Industry via Thermal Membrane Distillation (2014-10-14)This work is aimed at developing a systematic approach for designing treatment systems for wastewater streams resulting from upstream production and downstream processing of oil and gas systems. The approach will provide ...
-
(2013-11-08)Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a proven enhanced oil recovery technique for oil sand extraction. However, the environmental and economic challenges associated with excessive greenhouse gas emissions due to the ...
-
(2016-10-24)Due to the nature of bitumen and the inability to flow at reservoir conditions, it becomes necessary to alter the original state by imparting heat into the reservoir, thus lowering the viscosity to produce the fluid. The ...
-
(2015-07-27)This thesis presents an experimental approach to design, perform, and evaluate stimulation treatments for SAGD producers completed with slotted liners. Heavy oil production from a high temperature sandstone reservoir ...
-
(2014-08-20)Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an in-situ bitumen extraction technique that significantly increases ultimate oil recovery from oil sand reservoirs. Because SAGD is one of the newest proven thermal oil recovery ...
