Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Roger M. Butler

The company noted the acquisition adds an approved steam-assisted gravity drainage project to its asset portfolio, which currently includes thermal recovery projects at Seal in Peace River oil sands and at Kerrobert in southwest Saskatchewan. Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in Canada exploring Drilling Operations for Heavy Oil Resource. It describes a method of thermal bitumen recovery called wedge wells. In the middle of a keynote address to an audience of geologists, seismic specialists and heavy oil executives, he paused to make a wistful appeal. There are approximately 2.5 trillion barrels of the stuff, the largest figuring out how to get the dirtiest possible oil out of the hardest-to-reach places. SAGD extracts bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. Steam is Another drilling technology being discussed is also a form of thermal recovery called cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). The process is a non-thermal, mechanical land chemical closed-loop process to recover bitumen, and the chemical used in the process is non-toxic and biodegradable. Shell, for instance, is working on a "novel thermal recovery process" - embedding large electric heaters in the deposits and literally cooking the earth. Albertans have always known that in the northern part of their province there are vast deposits of bitumen - black, tarlike goo that is mixed up with sand, clay, water and oil. SAGD recovery involves drilling pairs of horizontal wells, one placed above the other in each pair. The candidate should have managed several different aspects of heavy oil/bitumen production, including strategic planning, prospect generation, operations, and thermal recovery development. "Once developed, thermal The petroleum and natural gas company also noted it received regulatory approval to construct a two-stage bitumen recovery scheme using steam-assisted gravity drainage. A tiny Canadian oilsands company has struck a deal with a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil corporation, agreeing to trade information on oilsands technology and potential exploration efforts. A CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the 'multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology' gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs,” co-chairman Songning Shen said in a press release.
