Spring 2019
In the oil sands extraction process, bitumen (crude oil) is separated from the sands in the Primary Separation Vessel (PSV) through a water-based gravity separation process. The interface between froth (crude oil) and middlings (water and sand) is the most important control variable in the PSV...

Spring 2019
Viscosity reduction is critically important for heavy oil extraction and experimental studies have shown this can be achieved by injection of a light solvent into a reservoir and dilution of heavy oil in place. Solvent-based methods have challenges like slow diffusion process and oil production...
