Heavy oil resources have become increasingly important in recent years due to a reduction
in light oil production and an increase in energy consumption. A large number of heavy oil …

Oxidative ageing and moisture damage are key factors in bitumen degradation and asphalt
pavement deterioration. The effects of oxygen and moisture on bitumen are governed by …

Primary oil recovery from fractured unconventional formations, such as shale or tight sands,
is typically less than 10%. The development of an economically viable enhanced oil …

CO 2 flooding has been recognized as one of the major alternatives for CO 2 emission
reduction and as well as increasing in the recovery from the oil reservoirs. However, CO 2 is …

In recent times, particularly in the 21st century, there has been an alarming increase in the
demand for global energy, along with continuous depletion in conventional oil reservoirs …

Due to the feature of tight formation, the primary oil recovery is usually very low and leaves
substantial oil still in place. This fact results in a strong motivation of applying an enhancing …

The recovery performance of immiscible and miscible CO2 huff-and-puff processes for
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in a light crude oil sample was experimentally investigated …

CO2 molecular diffusion in subsurface porous media is one of the key mechanisms in high-
pressure–high-temperature CO2 geosequestration and CO2-based enhanced oil recovery …

The existence of various native or nonnative species/fluids, along with having more than one
phase in the subsurface and within the integrated production and injection systems …

The vapor extraction of heavy oil and bitumen, or Vapex, has emerged as a very promising
recovery process since its invention in 1991. The principal reason is the environmental …
