In the Athabasca region for future development. There are currently two main categories of processes for in situ—i.e., underground, without mining—thermal recovery of bitumen and heavy oil: steam injection and combustion. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced reservoir engineer with well-developed technical knowledge of thermal recovery to join a financially stable, entrepreneurial oil sands organization with an excellent track record of success. These leases include the Hangingstone, Chard, Corner and Thornbury areas which are expected to contain approximately 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable bitumen resources. This heat exchange unit is like a kettle, and the heat from high temperature and high pressure water is used to boil another, less pure, water stream recovered during oil production. Geosolutions for Unconventional Systems & Heavy Oil Recovery. Numerical modeling of biodegradation and most importantly our “know-how” are some of the tools that we utilize at Gushor to predict fluid properties and distribution of oil quality , de-convolute oil mixtures, allocate production, and monitor thermal recovery operations for heavy oil and bitumen accumulations, among other applications for the characterization of biodegraded petroleum systems. Cenovus-christina-lake-oil-sands Experts say more bitumen will be recovered from thermal projects than traditional mining by 2015; but this latest report means that's already ahead of schedule. 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. The steam produced is then distributed From the folks that brought you the first microwave nonlethal weapon system ( Makes you think your burning) are now after bitumen, tar sands & heavy oil, with peak power renewable energy. A summary report of the study, conducted by Jacobs Consultancy, was publicly released on May 16, 2012 and provides insight for sustainable oil sands development in Alberta. 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.
