Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Roger M. Butler
Publisher:

Also, the reader should note that the hydrocarbon being obtained in the Alberta tar sands is "bitumen" which must be converted to a lower viscosity "oil" to be pumped in a pipeline and then refined. Method of in-situ recovery of viscous oils or bitumen utilizing a thermal recovery fluid and carbon dioxide. The successful projects were Imperial Oil is proposing an alternative to thermal recovery processes to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions from production by more than 90%. One of the problems is that the current extraction Some these methods include thermal recovery, as well as chemical or gas injection. Only 20% of the total amount of recoverable bitumen (the thick, tar-like form of petroleum) can be done through surface mining, leaving an overwhelming amount that will be extracted from In-Situ methods. The objective of this book is to present to the reader the current methods of recovery for heavy oil and tar sand bitumen technology by nonthermal and thermal methods. Typically several sets of wells are laid out beside each other to provide an interaction between the wells and heat the intervening oil so that it can be recovered. Alberta's Innovative Energy Technologies Program (IETP) is supporting 5 new pilot projects to reduce energy use, water use and CO2 emissions in oil sands processing as well as improving the recovery of crude oil and bitumen in reserves that were once unrecoverable. Energy and Capital editor Keith Kohl discusses 3 oil investments that are booming from record oil prices.

Patent #: Gaseous and solvent additives for steam injection for thermal recovery of bitumen from tar sands. For example, this layout is taken from the application of 100% recovery, but EROEI may be less than SAGD. Corrosion Resistant Thermal Barrier Coating Materials.

In the 1980s, the petroleum and bitumen sector was still employing 10% of the Albanian workforce, but its share of the national industrial production declined from 8.1% in 1980 to 5% in 1985, and even less than that at the end of the decade.
