Effect of CO2Injection in SAGD Process for Oil Sand Bitumen Recovery

Heavy Oil and Tar Sand Bitumen

A brief overview of the geology of heavy oil, bitumen and oil sand deposits

Introduction There are three major oil sand areas in Canada, all in Alberta. There is also an oil sand deposit on Melville Island in the Arctic. The three major oil sand areas are from highest to lowest volume of reserves-in-place (AEUB 2003) Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River oil sand areas notwithstanding that bitumen reserves are also evident in subcropping carbonate rocks in Athabasca and...

Neural Network Meta-Modeling of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Oil Recovery Processes

Production of highly viscous tar sand bitumen using Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) with a pair of horizontal wells has advantages over conventional steam flooding. This paper explores the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as an alternative to the traditional SAGD simulation approach. Feed forward, multi-layered neural network meta-models are trained through the Back-Error-Propaga...
