Abstract Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques play a crucial role in maximizing
hydrocarbon production from mature oil reservoirs. This review paper provides a …

Much of the research from Canada's oil sands region (OSR) shows contaminants of concern
(CoCs) throughout the ambient environment surrounding the industrial facilities. While there …

The evaporator blowdown (EBD) wastewater from high-pressure steam generation for the
steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) bitumen extraction process contains elevated …

The potential of ion exchange regeneration wastewater (IERW) containing magnesium ions
to act as a coagulant for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) boiler blowdown (BBD) …

The steam generation processes at the steam‐assisted gravity drainage facilities result in
huge quantities of wastewater streams, which are characterized by high pH and high silica …

Onsite partial upgrading is a promising strategy for facilitating pipeline transportation of
bitumen without the use of diluent. In the present work, a one-step treatment using an …

CO 2 co-injection can be used to lower the energy requirements for heavy oil recovery in
thermal oil operations. Technologies, including steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) for …

This study explores the feasibility of implementing five hybrid coagulation-membrane
processes for the treatment of the boiler blow-down (BBD) water from an oil sands steam …

This paper presents a study of two-stage adaptive nonlinear robust optimization in dealing
with uncertainty in the optimal design and operation of water treatment systems. This work …

Abstract Once-Through Steam Generators (OTSGs) are used in the oil sands industry to
produce steam, which is injected into oil sands reservoirs to produce bitumen. OTSGs …
