Genalta Power and Shell Canada have agreed to build a produced-gas-to-power plant that will make use of the gas associated with Shell's bitumen production in an effort to reduce gas flaring at its Peace River oil sands leases. Chapter 4 - Nonthermal Methods of Recovery 4.1: INTRODUCTION 4.2: PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RECOVERY METHODS 4.3: ENHANCED OIL Progress in Thermal Barrier Coatings | by The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) | 2009 | ISBN: 9780470408384. Facilities on its Peace River oil sands leases: the Cliffdale Battery, which uses cold or primary recovery methods, and the Peace River Complex which uses thermal or enhanced oil recovery techniques to extract bitumen from underground. Corrosion Resistant Thermal Barrier Coating Materials. Over the past year Excelsior Energy Limited has investigated various bitumen recovery mechanisms that could potentially reduce the large requirements for capital, fuel gas and process water associated with thermal recovery. The Essential oil sands of Alberta North america Incorporate bitumen reserves Comparable in Sizing Towards the Essential oil fields in Saudi Arabia. Which breaks the rock into small fragments. All emissions are used in the process and are injected into the bitumen.” As Nikipelo tells the story, when he took his original concept to the Alberta Research Council, Dr. However, the random nature of the carbonate bed, which is neither uniform nor consistent, makes economical bitumen recovery a technological challenge. Zones too thin for traditional thermal recovery. There has been an increase in the exploration of unconventional crude oils, which almost equal global conventional oil reserves - from bitumen through to heavy oils. Taking just those that relate to oil sand production roughly 70% plan on using thermal methods to recover deeper oil (mainly SAGD, though there are small amounts of THAI, cyclic steam and electrothermal). Chapter 3 - Oil Sand Mining 3.1: INTRODUCTION 3.2: OIL SAND MINING 3.3: BITUMEN SEPARATION 3.4: OTHER PROCESSES REFERENCES. 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. These fragments (with waste rock largely removed) are then mixed with hot water and pumped to large tanks at the primary upgrader, where the sand, water, and bitumen are separated.
