Applicability of Solvent-Assisted Polymer Flooding to Improve Heavy Oil Recovery
Vafaei, Venous (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-03)Recently, one of the non-thermal oil recovery techniques, polymer flooding, has shown its potential for improving heavy oil recovery. This study investigated the potential of combining solvent-based processes and polymer ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies of Three-Phase Relative Permeability Isoperms for Heavy Oil Systems
Akhlaghinia, Manoochehr (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-11)There is a great deal of interest in obtaining reliable three-phase relative permeability data given recent developments in enhanced heavy oil recovery processes associated with multiphase flow in porous media. Experimental ... -
Investigation of Interplay of Capillarity, Drainage Height, and Aqueous Phase Saturation on Mass Transfer Phenomena in Heavy Oil Recovery by Vapex Process
Ahmadloo, Farid (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2012-07)The vapor extraction (Vapex) process has emerged as a promising recovery technique in low-pressure and shallow heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs where conventional recovery processes are not technically, environmentally, ... -
Oblique Stagnation Point Flows
Ghaffar, Abdul (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2012-06)In this thesis, we study the oblique stagnation point flow of a Newtonian fluid on different types of boundaries such as a vertical surface, stretching sheet and shrinking sheet. This study is also examined the effects ... -
