A project's steam to oil ratio (SOR) measures the amount of steam that is required to be injected so as to produce one barrel of bitumen. Operators have implemented a wide range of methods to improve these operating efficiencies, applying improved technologies, heat recycling equipment, and solvent assisted recovery. Daybreak extends drilling program to seven wells at California oil project May 17, 2013 Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. There are currently two primary different types of processes for in situ—i. In situ (in place recovery or without excavation) is currently being done using steam injection with well recovery to heat and mobilize the goo. Which breaks the rock into small fragments. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. Image I recently got the chance to tag along with a group of journalism fellows on a tour of some oil sands production sites in Alberta, which is home to almost all of Canada's oil sands reserves.The Canadian oil They are a mix of naturally occurring bitumen, sticky oil and abrasive sand. The 1800-bpd Saleski pilot began production in 2011 and is considered the world's first carbonate project using thermal horizontal well recovery for bitumen. April 19, 2013 - Reducing fresh water use and enhancing oil recovery in oil sands development are among five new pilot projects supported by Alberta's The project is designed to develop the bitumen in a reservoir that is too viscous for conventional production, but does not require as much heat as most current thermal projects. Taking just those that relate to oil sand production roughly 70% plan on using thermal methods to recover deeper oil (mainly SAGD, though there are small amounts of THAI, cyclic steam and electrothermal). These fragments (with waste rock largely removed) are then mixed with hot water and pumped to large tanks at the primary upgrader, where the sand, water, and bitumen are separated. 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. Shen, Co-Chairman, said "this technology has been proven successful in an CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the "multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology" gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs". The pilot will use three parallel horizontal wells with electrical cables to conduct heat throughout the targeted bitumen formation. Numerical modeling of biodegradation and most importantly our “know-how” are some of the tools that we utilize at Gushor to predict fluid properties and distribution of oil quality , de-convolute oil mixtures, allocate production, and monitor thermal recovery operations for heavy oil and bitumen accumulations, among other applications for the characterization of biodegraded petroleum systems. In situ projects heat steam to high temperature to inject into bitumen reservoirs that are too deep to mine. , underground, devoid of mining—thermal recovery of bitumen and heavy oil: steam injection and combustion.
