Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

MODELLING THE RHEOLOGY OF COMPLEX FLUIDS : Cases of Bitumen and Heavy Oils at low temperatures.
DownloadFall 2011
As complex fluids such as heavy oil or bitumen pass from the field to process units, structural and compositional changes occur that are intimately linked with pressure (P), temperature (T), and shear histories. In this exploratory work, a modified Structural Kinetics Model is used to calculate...
