In this article, the importance of colloids and interfaces in thermal heavy oil or bitumen
extraction methods is reviewed, with particular relevance to oil sands. It begins with a brief …

One of the widely spread causes of reservoir formation damage is fines migration. Migration
of natural reservoir fines occurs during commingled production of oil or gas with low-salinity …

Recent research on unlocking the solvent dispersion as a physical blending process in
porous media has been mainly focused on core-scale observations. Pore-level studies of …

A stable spreading film between water and gas can extract a significant amount of bypassed
non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) through immiscible three-phase gas/water injection …

A direct quasi-static pore-scale modeling approach is implemented in a simulation package
to reconstruct interfacial areas and predict two-phase fluid occupancy profiles during …

Taking advantage of the analogy between hydraulic and electrical flows to facilitate the
prediction of porous media characteristics is a longstanding practice in engineering and …

Water is the dominant component in steam‐injection processes, such as steam‐assisted
gravity drainage (SAGD). The central hypothesis in this research is that in‐situ oil transport …

Due to the computational simplicity and time efficiency, pore network and morphological
techniques are two practical approaches for characterization of pore-scale microstructures …

В статье приведена обзорная информация о ресурсах нетрадиционного
углеводородного сырья. В общем объеме нефтесодержащего сырья доля …

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a commercially successful technology for heavy
oil and bitumen recovery. The energy efficiency of SAGD is important for the economic …
