Anyone know where I can get a copy of this book, hard copy or digital. Thermal Projects Wabiskaw - Recognized the potential for cost-effective thermal recovery of a 2.0 billion barrel bitumen deposit in the Grand Rapids Formation within the Woodenhouse area. Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in Canada exploring Drilling Operations for Heavy Oil Resource. Image source:US EIA of oil sand assets in Alberta. EOR is the extraction of additional oil from fully developed fields, using a variety of methods beyond conventional waterflooding or gas injection, to maintain reservoir pressure. Steam is Another drilling technology being discussed is also a form of thermal recovery called cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). Costs for recovering bitumen with in situ methods continue to decline, and new technologies are bound to reduce costs further, according to Harbir Chhina, executive vice-president enhanced oil development and new resource plays for Cenovus Energy Inc., Calgary. SAGD extracts bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. In the SAGD well laterals, Cenovus runs 7-in. I can't seem to track down a copy anywhere. Slotted liners that hang on a thermal packer in 95⁄8-in. The 1991 version would also suffice. SAGD recovery involves drilling pairs of horizontal wells, one placed above the other in each pair. Understanding how crude oil biodegrades into methane, or natural gas, opens the door to being able to recover the clean-burning methane directly from deeply buried, or in situ, oil sands deposits, says Steve Larter, U of C petroleum geologist in the The oil sands industry would no longer have to use costly and polluting thermal, or heat-based, processes (such as injecting steam into reservoirs) to loosen the tar-like bitumen so it flows into wells and can be pumped to the surface. This apparently paradoxical situation is occurring because supplies of conventional crude oil have peaked while growing economies in South America have increased demand for refined fuel.
