A tiny Canadian oilsands company has struck a deal with a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil corporation, agreeing to trade information on oilsands technology and potential exploration efforts. Thermal extraction is a much more environmentally friendly process than other energy extraction methods; for example, 98% of the water used by Connacher to extract their oil is recycled. This distinguishes in situ recovery from surface mining, which requires removing topsoil and other overburden and Another common form of thermal recovery is cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). Understanding how crude oil biodegrades into methane, or natural gas, opens the door to being able to recover the clean-burning methane directly from deeply buried, or in situ, oil sands deposits, says Steve Larter, U of C petroleum geologist in the The oil sands industry would no longer have to use costly and polluting thermal, or heat-based, processes (such as injecting steam into reservoirs) to loosen the tar-like bitumen so it flows into wells and can be pumped to the surface. The 1991 version would also suffice. Than 20% with conventional techniques, Dhinsa says . 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. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. Low impact energy recovery requires massive capital and a willingness to take on high level of risk. Grizzly's independent engineering firm, GLJ Petroleum Consultants, estimated the Thickwood Thermal Project will ultimately recover approximately 107 million barrels of bitumen in their report dated December 31, 2011. In situ oil sands production means extracting bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. A 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,” co-chairman Songning Shen said in a press release. The University of Alberta, Canada, has inked an option agreement with Strata Oil & Gas Inc. I can't seem to track down a copy anywhere. With today's technology there are roughly 170 billion barrels of oil to be recovered in the tar sands, and an additional 1.63 trillion barrels worth underground if every last bit of bitumen could be separated from sand. 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. For the exclusive Canadian license to its technology to extract bitumen from fractured carbonates. The technology can be implemented using established equipment and extraction materials while allowing for recycling of material and reduced thermal treatment. It won't add any more to GHG emission than other sources of Oil, or indeed actually less, IF AND ONLY IF they use Nuclear Electricity, Nuclear Steam & Process Heat and Nuclear Hydrogen to extract & refine the bitumen. Anyone know where I can get a copy of this book, hard copy or digital. Building sustainable operations for the recovery of oil and bitumen requires leading edge facilities and continual adaptation of technologies.
