Which breaks the rock into small fragments. Taking just those that relate to oil sand production roughly 70% plan on using thermal methods to recover deeper oil (mainly SAGD, though there are small amounts of THAI, cyclic steam and electrothermal). To even access these deposits, the forest must first be drained of its water, and then clear D. Than 20% with conventional techniques, Dhinsa says . Image source:US EIA of oil sand assets in Alberta. Thermal Projects Wabiskaw - Recognized the potential for cost-effective thermal recovery of a 2.0 billion barrel bitumen deposit in the Grand Rapids Formation within the Woodenhouse area. Jaques – California heavy oil from thermal recovery is bad, unsustainable and is as well prohibited by the same legislation for use by the US government Mr. These fragments (with waste rock largely removed) are then mixed with hot water and pumped to large tanks at the primary upgrader, where the sand, water, and bitumen are separated. Enhanced Bitumen Recovery Using High Permeability Pathways. Numerical modeling of biodegradation and most importantly our “know-how” are some of the tools that we utilize at Gushor to predict fluid properties and distribution of oil quality , de-convolute oil mixtures, allocate production, and monitor thermal recovery operations for heavy oil and bitumen accumulations, among other applications for the characterization of biodegraded petroleum systems. Optimal's E2EOR® Ideal for High Salinity, Heavy Oil Production. This apparently paradoxical situation is occurring because supplies of conventional crude oil have peaked while growing economies in South America have increased demand for refined fuel. Methods of Enhanced Oil Recovery. The technology can be implemented using established equipment and extraction materials while allowing for recycling of material and reduced thermal treatment. Vast stretches of Canada's boreal forests cover a mixture of clay, sand, water, and bitumen – a heavy, black viscous oil. Tertiary Recovery, Also Known As Enhanced Oil Recovery. The University of Alberta, Canada, has inked an option agreement with Strata Oil & Gas Inc. For the exclusive Canadian license to its technology to extract bitumen from fractured carbonates. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. Data for Regional EOR Involvement by Method Elusive.
