A pragmatic technique has been developed to experimentally and theoretically quantify the
nonequilibrium phase behavior of alkane solvent (s)–CO2–heavy oil systems under …

A considerable portion of heavy oil resides in thin formations. In such reservoir
environments, thermal recovery methods tend to be neither effective nor economical, due to …

Lloydminster area that straddles Alberta and Saskatchewan border contains vast amounts of
heavy oil deposits in thin unconsolidated formations. It is believed that the heavy oil …

A novel and pragmatic technique has been proposed to quantify the nonequilibrium phase
behavior together with physical properties of foamy oil under reservoir conditions …

Some heavy oil reservoirs in Canada and Venezuela show anomalous behavior under
solution gas drive. However, although foamy oil can improve the performance of solution …

The residual oil present in localized low-permeability pores in heavy oil reservoirs is a
limiting factor in oil recovery. In this study, molecular simulations were used to …

In the process of natural energy depletion, foamy oil is characterized of low production Gas
Oil Ratio, high oil viscosity, high daily production rate and high primary recovery factor. The …

Cyclic solvent injection (CSI) has shown a significant potential to enhance heavy oil
recovery after primary production. However, the principal limitation of this process is quick …

Cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) technique has successfully improved oil
recovery from heavy oil reservoirs due to high permeability channels resulted from sand …

Foamy oil flow, a phenomenon associated with primary production of heavy oil under
solution gas drive, is a widely accepted explanation for the high recovery factors observed in …
