... Abstract This study deals with the development of a methodology for making low compressive strength cores used in an experimental investigation of the Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) process. An experimental setup was designed and built to investigate the effect of rock compressive...

... as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). The advantages of CHOPS lie in its commercial success as an inexpensive start up application for heavy oil reservoirs as well as its considerable recovery rates. The general reservoir characteristics associated with successful applications of CHOPS have been...

... Abstract Ensuring quantitative prediction of eroded sand volume is a major challenge for companies, which seek to conduct effective sand management. This is particularly a key point for Cold Heavy Oil Production With Sand. IFP has been studying the geomechanical aspects of heavy oil cold...
