In view of the increasing environmental concerns about the current water-based bitumen extraction process, there have been numerous efforts to develop a non-aqueous extraction (NAE) method for the recovery of bitumen from oil sands. The research reported in this thesis was carried out to study...

This research focuses on determining an optimum formulation of generating aqueous-based CO2 Colloidal Gas Aphrons (CGAs) than can be used for CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery project. Different pairs of polymers and surfactants were tested, with varying concentrations, to determine the...

The extraction of bitumen from oil sands using non-aqueous extraction (NAE) techniques has the potential to replace currently used water-based extraction techniques. High bitumen recovery rates, lower freshwater requirements, and elimination of afterward tailing ponds are all advantages of...
