Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Roger M. Butler

The successful projects were Imperial Oil is proposing an alternative to thermal recovery processes to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions from production by more than 90%. Alberta's Innovative Energy Technologies Program (IETP) is supporting 5 new pilot projects to reduce energy use, water use and CO2 emissions in oil sands processing as well as improving the recovery of crude oil and bitumen in reserves that were once unrecoverable. SAGD extracts bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. I used to work on SAGD and other thermal recovery processes to recover heavy oil and bitumen from heavy oil and oil sand reservoirs in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. The steam produced is then distributed From the folks that brought you the first microwave nonlethal weapon system ( Makes you think your burning) are now after bitumen, tar sands & heavy oil, with peak power renewable energy. In the SAGD well laterals, Cenovus runs 7-in. Slotted liners that hang on a thermal packer in 95⁄8-in. SAGD recovery involves drilling pairs of horizontal wells, one placed above the other in each pair. Steam is Another drilling technology being discussed is also a form of thermal recovery called cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). During the process of oil extraction from oil sands, bitumen, a semi-solid oxidized form of oil, is removed using thermal recovery techniques that consume about 3.1 barrels of water per single barrel of oil 1. Than 20% with conventional techniques, Dhinsa says . Costs for recovering bitumen with in situ methods continue to decline, and new technologies are bound to reduce costs further, according to Harbir Chhina, executive vice-president enhanced oil development and new resource plays for Cenovus Energy Inc., Calgary. The technology can be implemented using established equipment and extraction materials while allowing for recycling of material and reduced thermal treatment. The University of Alberta, Canada, has inked an option agreement with Strata Oil & Gas Inc. Bitumen extraction and froth treatment. This heat exchange unit is like a kettle, and the heat from high temperature and high pressure water is used to boil another, less pure, water stream recovered during oil production.
