Abstract The Athabasca oil sands deposit of Axe Lake Discovery is situated T95 R25W3 in Saskatchewan. The Axe Lake oil sand deposit...

... deposits of the Romashkino oil field (Tatarstan, Russia). A statistically significant differences in structure-group composition of asphaltenes both produced oils and poor- and highly- transformed residual ones are revealed. For each asphaltene group the regularities in alteration of structure-group...

... to reduce exploration risk. Future developments include imaging between vertical and horizontal boreholes and time-lapse imaging of steam fronts. Introduction The Athabasca oil sands in NE Alberta (Canada) are one of the largest deposits of bitumen in the world (Figure 1). The bitumen resides...

... an MFT analog at the end of pipe , without the need for a large tailings/recycle water pond to form and store MFT. Other options include co-deposition of MFT with sand to produce a tailings which retains the strength of a sand deposit, while capturing a significant amount of the fine tailings component...

... Abstract Permanent storage of CO 2 in dissolved salt caverns is one of the geological options for reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Alberta is singularly well endowed with suitable salt deposits. Of these, the Lotsberg Salt of east-central Alberta...

... Abstract The world's two largest oil deposits are the heavy and extra heavy oil deposits of Venezuela and Canada. These deposits have many similarities and some differences; however, the general similarity in geological disposition and history, in reservoir and fluid parameters, and in other...

... Abstract The nail biting fuel oil problems such as sludge formation, accumulation of deposits, improper combustion, soot formation, high viscosity, pollution, stack emission and so on are great threats to global environment. All these can now be solved in a single shot with the regular usage...

... Abstract Kaybob South field first discovered in 1960's is located in Central Alberta. This field is an aquifer driven maturing gas reservoir with H2S concentrations up to 20%. The Iron Sulfide scale deposition coupled with a time layered asphaltenes affect overall production and increase risk...

... Abstract The study area is located at Reo area, Liaohe basin, northeast China. This study documents the types and distribution of hydrocarbon reservoirs and oil-bearing traps associated with the main depositional environment of fluvial deposits interbedded with volcanic rocks accumulations...
