A Geomechanically-Constrained Dynamic Fractal Wormhole Growth Model for Simulating Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS)
DownloadSpring 2019
Cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) is a non-thermal primary process that is widely adopted in many weakly consolidated heavy oil deposits around the world. However, only approximately 5 to 15% of the initial oil in place is typically recovered. Several solvent-assisted schemes are...

Spring 2024
Solvent injection processes offer a promising alternative to steam-based techniques for heavy oil recovery. Multiple mass transfer mechanisms, including interphase mass transfer, diffusion, and convection, would affect the process efficiency and recovery performance. Understanding the mass...
