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

Disposal From In Situ Bitumen Recovery Induced the ML 5.6 Peace River Earthquake
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 6, 28 March 2023., 2023 Abstract Earthquakes induced by human activities can impede the development of underground resources. Significant induced events (M5) have caused both economic and human losses. The recent ML 5.6 (MW 5.1) event near Peace River, Alberta occurs in a region of in situ bitumen recovery. We find that 3.4 cm of ground deformation was caused by reverse fault

Geofluids, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Viscosity reducer flooding has been successfully applied in tertiary oil recovery of ordinary heavy oil reservoirs. However, lowering interfacial tension or reducing oil viscosity, which is more critical for viscosity reducer to improve oil recovery of ordinary heavy oil, has not yet formed a unified understanding, which restricts the further large ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 100, Issue S1, Page S302-S311, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The instability at the interface between two parallel flows of immiscible liquids through a uniform planar pore is studied by using linear stability analysis. A characteristic equation determines the growth rate versus wavenumber, and instability conditions are determined. The instability is governed by a dimensionless group relating the ratio

Restoration of boreal peatland impacted by an in‐situ oil sands well‐pad 1: Vegetation response
Restoration Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this study, our goal was to adapt the moss layer transfer technique (MLTT), first developed to restore degraded Sphagnum‐dominated peatland explicitly with a bryophyte layer, to a former in‐situ oil sands well‐pad constructed with nearby mineral fill in northwestern Alberta, Canada.

Research on Remaining Oil Characterization in Superheavy Oil Reservoir by Microgravity Exploration
Geofluids, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Some physical processes such as oil and gas development, metal deposit collection, and groundwater resource migration can cause density changes, for which microgravity monitoring is the most intuitive method to monitor the density change process.

Energies, 2023 The existence of the bottom oil–water transition zone (BTZ) greatly impairs the performance of the conventional steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process and its mitigation measures are very limited.

Pad-scale control improves SAGD performance
Petroleum, 2018 Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is widely used in the Athabasca oil sands deposit to recover bitumen. Since the viscosity of bitumen is high at original reservoir conditions, heat is required to lower its viscosity to the point it becomes mobile ...
