In this study, the detailed effects of waterflooding and solvent injection on vapour extraction (VAPEX) heavy oil recovery are studied by using a visual rectangular sandpacked high-pressure VAPEX physical model with a ...

In this thesis, the mutual interactions between a light crude oil and CO2 at the reservoir temperature were experimentally studied. The oil recovery mechanisms and asphaltene precipitation phenomenon in tight sandstone ...

Tremendous resources of heavy oil are located in Western Canada, i.e., Alberta and Saskatchewan, most of which are contained in thin payzones. Thermal-based techniques have conventionally been utilized to enhance heavy ...

Vapour Extraction (VAPEX) is a process to recover heavy oil by injecting vapourized solvent into a reservoir. In order to ensure successful commercial application of a VAPEX process, reliable prediction of VAPEX performance ...
