... II and the thermal maturity index is 1.28. Based on the hosting element, microporosity in Hanifa Fm. can be categorized into three groups: framework, solid bitumen and intraparticle pores. A key observation of this study is that pore types in Hanifa Formation vary between framework which accounts...

... ABSTRACT During steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) processing of an oil sands reservoir, two marked phase changes occur. First, bitumen itself changes from quasi-solid to liquid when heated. Second, a steam chamber develops as the liquid bitumen is displaced with steam during production...
