Fall 2016
Steam-solvent coinjection, if properly implemented, can improve the bitumen recovery efficiency of steam-only injection methods, such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Previous studies have shown that steam-solvent coinjection can reduce residual oil saturation lower than that of SAGD....

Spring 2021
The rapid decline rates and low oil recovery factor (typically less than 10% of the original oil in place) of primary production are well-known challenges in the development of tight-oil formations. Several enhanced-oil-recovery studies and field trials have been conducted with promising results...

Spring 2021
The phase behavior of reservoir fluids in tight/shale reservoirs can be dramatically altered from the bulk phase behavior due to the strong capillarity and confinement effects introduced by the confined nanopores found in the unconventional reservoirs. Therefore, an accurate description of the...

Steam-Solvent Coinjection for Bitumen Recovery under Reservoir Heterogeneity with Consideration of Water Solubility in Oil
DownloadFall 2017
The main objective of this research is to determine if expanding solvent-steam assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD), wherein a small quantity of a condensable solvent is coinjected with steam, can be a better alternative to SAGD in highly heterogeneous formations. Specifically, three previously...
