The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 425-441, January 2026.Abstract Solvent‐assisted recovery methods have gained attention as an alternative to conventional thermal methods which have significant environmental drawbacks and high greenhouse gas emissions. Solvent‐assisted recovery methods can lead to various phase equilibria, such as vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) and liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE), under ...

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.In the oil sands industry of Canada, steam‐assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to its reliance on combustion of natural gas for steam. Lowering the cumulative steam–oil ratio (cSOR) is crucial for reducing emissions, with steam and gas push (SAGP) emerging as a viable alternative.

A New Mathematical Model for Flow and Heat Transfer of Dual‐String Steam Injection in SAGD
Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Uneven steam distribution along horizontal wellbores, particularly the disparity between the heel and toe, poses a significant challenge in steam injection for heavy oil recovery. This often leads to asymmetric steam chamber development and premature steam channeling, severely limiting process efficiency.
