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 ...

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 ...

CO2 has been found to be an efficient agent for recovering heavy oil resources worldwide through an immiscible displacement process. One major disadvantage of CO2 immiscible process is the limited solubility of CO2 in ...
