.... Introduction The stearn drive process is a proven technique for the recovery of heavy ail and bitumen from underground reservoirs. In an effort to increase the efficiency of this process. considerable emphasis has been placed on developing methods to optimize reservoir conformance, particularly with regard...

Thesefindings were consistent with those observed using much smaller reactors andfor other reservoirs. This study suggests that wet in situ...

... contact 2 , injection of gas 3,4 and polymers 5 have been suggested in the literature. To thermally reduce the viscosity of Cold Lake bitumen to 200 mPas (200 cP), it is necessary to increase the temperature to 120 °C. A reduction in bitumen viscosity could also be accomplished by contacting...

... Abstract In previous paper 1,2,3 the authors described the results of injecting saturated ethane or propane vapours into a scaled two-dimensional model to recover heavy oils and bitumen at or slightly above the reservoir temperature. The results were encouraging. Although the scaled oil...
