Heavy oil resources have become increasingly important in recent years due to a reduction
in light oil production and an increase in energy consumption. A large number of heavy oil …

In this paper, techniques have been developed to examine the enhanced swelling effect and
viscosity reduction of CO 2-saturated heavy oil with the addition of either solvent C 3 H 8 or …

An experimental technique is developed to measure the interfacial tensions of the crude oil+
reservoir brine+ CO2 systems at pressures from (0.1 to 31.4) MPa and two temperatures (27 …

This paper presents an artificial intelligence-based numerical investigation on the CO 2
solubility in live and dead oils for possible CO 2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR). A thorough …

CO 2 flooding into the petroleum reservoirs has gained much universal attentions owing to
the benefits originated from the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and enhanced oil …

The interfacial properties change strongly with temperature and pressure that could
influence the displacement of fluids in porous media. The main objective of this study was to …

Bitumen transportation by pipelines requires dilution with solvents. These diluents are often
expensive. Therefore, the utilization of liquid CO 2 as a diluent to reduce or eliminate diluent …

A new apparatus for studying the phase behavior of heavy oil and bitumen with different
solvents has been tested. It has the capability of determining physical properties, such as …

Equilibrium interfacial tension (IFT) between heavy oil and CO2 with the addition of C3H8
and/or n-C4H10 has been experimentally and theoretically determined. Experimentally, an …

The effects of temperature, pressure, dissolved carbon dioxide and shear rate on the
rheological response of bitumen are investigated by using the reduced variable method at …
