Heavy oil, commonly defined by high density, viscosity, and heavy components
distinguishing it from light oil, has a peculiar nature with respect to emulsification. In this …

Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a thermal hydrocarbon recovery method by
which extra-heavy oil is produced through steam injection and bitumen heating. The …

In this article, the importance of colloids and interfaces in thermal heavy oil or bitumen
extraction methods is reviewed, with particular relevance to oil sands. It begins with a brief …

One or more computer-readable media include computer executable instructions to instruct
a computing system to receive input as to physical characteristics of a resource recovery …

Studies that investigate and attempt to model the process of steam‐assisted gravity drainage
(SAGD) for heavy‐oil extraction often adopt the single‐phase‐flow assumption or relative …

SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) has been proven as an effective technology to
enhance heavy oil/bitumen recovery. The main shortcoming of this method is its inefficiency …

We present a numerical simulation approach that allows incorporation of emulsion modeling
into steam-assisted gravity-drainage (SAGD) simulations with commercial reservoir …

Abstract Expanding Solvent-Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (ES-SAGD) was invented to
enhance SAGD performance by reducing energy use while increasing oil production rates …
