Steam injection is one of the most widely used technique for heavy oil recovery. There are
few laboratory experiments to investigate how to decrease the negative effect of steam …

Abstract Structure characterization and comparison of the ultra-heavy oil and its four
components are fundamental and crucial. In this work, nuclear magnetic resonance …

In the numerical simulations of thermal recovery for unconventional resources, reservoir
models involve complex multicomponent-multiphase flow in non-isothermal conditions …

Fluid viscosity plays a major role in the petroleum industry. It's required for fluid flow
calculations through the reservoir and production systems. In this study, heavy oil viscosity …

The foamy oil flow phenomena occur in the primary production period of heavy oil during the
solution gas derive have been considered as the key factor that leading to unusual high …

Throughout experimental studies, non-equilibrium solvent dissolution kinetics were studied
in a micromodel PVT system. Dissolution tests were conducted by pressure decay method …

At high cycles of steam huff & puff, oil distribution in reservoirs becomes stronger
heterogeneity due to steam channeling. Thermal solidification agent can be used to solve …

A new non-equilibrium kinetic model is developed with non-constant reaction rate to
characterize foamy oil behavior for heavy oil/propane system in pressure depletion tests and …

Foamy oil flow is one reason that contributes to the high recovery factor observed in the
heavy oil reservoirs. Although the viscosity of heavy oil, as a critical fundamental property …

Heavy oil resources, as a non-renewable energy resource, often require extra enhanced oil
recovery techniques such as solvent-based processes. Many kinds of solvents including …
