The primary bottleneck in heavy oil production lies in the significant energy consumption
and CO 2 emissions associated with steam injection for recovery. To address this challenge …

Heavy oil reservoirs, comprising 70% of global crude oil reserves, present significant
challenges in thermal recovery processes, particularly due to water invasion. Water invasion …

During the long-term use of steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) in oil fields, the
continuous expansion of the steam chamber often leads to edge water invasion, which …

Cyclic steam stimulation with horizontal well (CSSHW) has emerged as an efficient
commercial recovery technique for heavy oil reservoirs. Accurately calculating the evolution …

Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) has emerged as the most effective
commercial recovery technique for heavy and ultra-heavy oil reservoirs. Accurately …

Recent core-scale visualization studies performed by us have highlighted the promising
potential of utilizing hydrocarbon solvents in alternating with steam injection for optimizing …

Abstract SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage) development of heavy oil requires diesel
heating through steam boilers, leading to energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. To …

This paper evaluates and analyzes three decades of ongoing SAGD projects in Canada,
examining their successes, failures, lessons learned, and limitations from multiple …

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially
successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 …
