The continuous demand for unconventional oil, such as heavy oil as an alternative energy supply, justifies the global oil reserves of as high as 1734 billion barrels in 2019. However, the drawback of ...

Flue gas assisted steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a frontier technology to enhance oil recovery for heavy oil reservoirs. The carbon dioxide generated from the thermal recovery of heavy oil ...

Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...

Based on a presentation to the GPA Europe Annual Conference, Prague, Sept. 21-23, 2011. Operational scenarios for two uses of a new refrigeration process for recovering NGLs from natural gas have ...

A common method of extracting oil by injecting large amounts of water into old wells is coming under scrutiny by Michigan environmental groups. The technique, known as water flooding, has been around ...

A black powder of spherical carbon nanoparticles with specific properties can be synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Surface modifications can be achieved by chemically bonding organic ...
