Analytical Modeling of the Cyclic ES-SAGD Process [PDF]
Energies, 2020 Approximately half of the daily oil production from the Canadian oil sands comes from the application of steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Due to the high steam requirements of SAGD, many studies have focused on solvent injection as a means of ...

Reducing the Energy and Steam Consumption of SAGD Through Cyclic Solvent Co-Injection
Energies, 2019 The amount of oil that is contained in the Canadian oil sands represent the third largest oil accumulation in the world. Approximately half of the daily oil production from the oil sands comes from mining processes and the other half is produced mostly ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 101, Issue 11, Page 6135-6150, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The required steam for steam‐assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil sands operations is generated using a once‐through steam generator (OTSG) that is fed with relatively poor quality process water. Industries have reported possible solid particle erosion‐related failure in the OTSG boiler tubes because of the transport of precipitated dense ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 101, Issue 10, Page 6003-6016, October 2023., 2023 Drawbacks in phase change models in simulating flashing of steam with a subsaturation downstream boundary condition. Abstract The development of phase change models applicable to a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and mass flow rates is primarily limited by the metastable or partially stable behaviour of the fluid. Due to this, the fluid does not

Evaluation of Propane-Butane Mixtures as Solvent in ES-SAGD
, 2022 SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) is a thermal recovery process for production of nearly immobile bitumen from the deeper oil-sand formation. In this method, two parallel horizontal wells are drilled near the reservoir bottom, one about 5 m higher than the other.
