Thermal Recovery of Oil and Bitumen Roger M. Butler

Carbon capture, storage and sequestration. Shell, for instance, is working on a "novel thermal recovery process" - embedding large electric heaters in the deposits and literally cooking the earth. Jaques – California heavy oil from thermal recovery is bad, unsustainable and is as well prohibited by the same legislation for use by the US government Mr. Vast stretches of Canada's boreal forests cover a mixture of clay, sand, water, and bitumen – a heavy, black viscous oil. Daybreak extends drilling program to seven wells at California oil project May 17, 2013 Daybreak Oil and Gas, Inc. Bitumen extraction and froth treatment. 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. If successful, a commercial project would begin in 2014 with expected production in 2016. To even access these deposits, the forest must first be drained of its water, and then clear D. Shen, Co-Chairman, said "this technology has been proven successful in an 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". Regulatory approval has been received for the construction and operation of a two-stage bitumen recovery scheme using steam-assisted gravity drainage. Energy conservation and non-thermal production. Baytex plans a pilot study in 2013. Baytex's current asset portfolio includes thermal recovery projects at Seal in the Peace River Oil Sands and at Kerrobert in southwest Saskatchewan. 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.
