The objective of this book is to present to the reader the current methods of recovery for heavy oil and tar sand bitumen technology by nonthermal and thermal methods. Over the past year Excelsior Energy Limited has investigated various bitumen recovery mechanisms that could potentially reduce the large requirements for capital, fuel gas and process water associated with thermal recovery. Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in Canada exploring Drilling Operations for Heavy Oil Resource. Low impact energy recovery requires massive capital and a willingness to take on high level of risk. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. Steam is Another drilling technology being discussed is also a form of thermal recovery called cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). Thermal extraction is a much more environmentally friendly process than other energy extraction methods; for example, 98% of the water used by Connacher to extract their oil is recycled. Building sustainable operations for the recovery of oil and bitumen requires leading edge facilities and continual adaptation of technologies. SAGD extracts bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. Numerical modeling of biodegradation and most importantly our “know-how” are some of the tools that we utilize at Gushor to predict fluid properties and distribution of oil quality , de-convolute oil mixtures, allocate production, and monitor thermal recovery operations for heavy oil and bitumen accumulations, among other applications for the characterization of biodegraded petroleum systems. SAGD recovery involves drilling pairs of horizontal wells, one placed above the other in each pair. EOR is the extraction of additional oil from fully developed fields, using a variety of methods beyond conventional waterflooding or gas injection, to maintain reservoir pressure.
