In this year’s Heavy Oil feature, it’s clear that, even as many enhanced recovery techniques become established and mainstream, supporting technologies continue to march forward to allow a better and more-robust understanding of our trade.

This paper aims to present thoroughly the application of subsurface safety injection valves in extremely high-temperature environments.

This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.

In this work, a perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory equation of state has been developed to characterize heavy-oil-associated systems containing polar components and nonpolar components with respect to phase behavior and physical properties.

Cooldown cargo is set to be delivered to Kitimat, BC, from Australia in early April, the final step prior to official startup.

The new company, to be called Whitecap, will be the largest Alberta Montney and Duvernay landholder, sporting 370,000 BOE/D in combined production.

This paper evaluates the effect of rapid cooling on the rock-cutting process and incorporates this effect as a component of drilling-performance optimization.

This paper presents a comprehensive model of geothermal exploitation for depleted deep heavy oil reservoirs through supercritical CO2 injection.

The first two wells at Brava Energia’s Atlanta field are producing, with four more to be connected this year.
