Economic Evaluation of Capturing CO2 From Natural Gas Power Plant and Injecting CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery as an Integrated System
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-01)
CO2 is said to be one of the most important greenhouse gas that causes global warming.
The most common sources of CO2 emission into the atmosphere are fossil fueled power
plants. With the increasing demand of energy in ...
Wave Attenuation in Porous Media Under Multiple Energy Excitations and a Statistical Periodicity Ratio Method with its Application in Nonlinear System Behavior Diagnosis
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-07)
To comprehend the mechanism of seismic vibration technique used as an external excitation method in the oil production industry, a three dimensional wave model was developed based on Biot’s theory (1956a, b) for describing ...
An Improved Vapour Solvent Injection Technique for Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-07)
There are tremendous heavy oil and bitumen resources in Canada, and most of them are located in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Thermal-based recovery techniques, such as steam flooding, cyclic steam stimulation ...
A Numerical Approach for Oil Slug Mobilization in a Capillary Tube Under Absence and Presence of External Excitations
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-07)
This research attempts to study the mobilization of an oil drop, also known as a \slug", via the aid of a water film. This differs from other work in this area wherein the oil drop is forced through the throat of a pore ...
Phase Behaviour and Mass Transfer of Solvent(s)-CO2-Heavy Oil Systems Under Reservoir Conditions
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2013-05)
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 ...
