In the past, transportation of heavy and bitumen to downstream refineries has been
accomplished by either adding a diluent or converting the vacuum residue to produce a …

In order to alleviate the pressure on the international energy supply, people began to turn
their attention to the abundant reserves of heavy oil resources. However, the high density …

Propane and mixtures including propane as a principal component are among the leading
potential candidates for co-injection along with steam for improving the process and …

Abstract Knowledge of the solubility of water in hydrocarbon fluids is essential for the design,
simulation, and optimization of thermal oil recovery processes. This study proposes the use …

This study examines an accuracy of CP‐PC‐SAFT attached by the 4C cross‐association
scheme and zero values of binary parameters in predicting the high temperature‐high …

Understanding of thermodynamic and thermo-physical properties of water-bitumen system is
the necessary requirement towards better design and successful operation of thermal …

The hybrid steam-solvent injection has been considered as a promising technique for
enhancing heavy oil/bitumen recovery, while its main mechanisms including the heat …

We summarize the major recovery mechanisms of both steam-based recovery process and
steam-chemical-based recovery process. Next, we review the previous lab-scale/field-scale …

Co-pyrolysis of oil sand bitumen and lignocellulosic biomass (corncob) under hydrothermal
conditions was carried out to study the synergistic effects of oil sand bitumen and corncob …

Molecular dynamics simulations were applied to characterize the dissolution of subcritical
water (Sub-CW) in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The phase equilibria of Sub …
