Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Roger M. Butler

Operators have implemented a wide range of methods to improve these operating efficiencies, applying improved technologies, heat recycling equipment, and solvent assisted recovery. In the Athabasca region for future development. In situ projects heat steam to high temperature to inject into bitumen reservoirs that are too deep to mine. Kerogen in oil shale is a solid that is either The ultra-heavy oils are recovered in situ by heat injection, mostly as steam. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. There has been an increase in the exploration of unconventional crude oils, which almost equal global conventional oil reserves - from bitumen through to heavy oils. Zones too thin for traditional thermal recovery. EOR is the extraction of additional oil from fully developed fields, using a variety of methods beyond conventional waterflooding or gas injection, to maintain reservoir pressure. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced reservoir engineer with well-developed technical knowledge of thermal recovery to join a financially stable, entrepreneurial oil sands organization with an excellent track record of success. 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. These leases include the Hangingstone, Chard, Corner and Thornbury areas which are expected to contain approximately 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resources. 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. Solid tar sand bitumen is mined and liquified in surface plants.
