PetE 478
Thermal Methods in Heavy Oil Recovery
Description
A design course covering new developments in the area of heavy oil recovery. Will include modeling and designing heavy-oil recovery applications and thermal methods.Prerequisite: PET E 295 or PET E 373.
Learning Outcomes
Identify the major differences in the recovery mechanisms between steam flooding, cyclic steam stimulation and steam assisted gravity drainageAnalyze the phase behavior and physical properties of water, heavy oil and their mixtures
Select the most appropriate recovery method for a given heavy oil reservoir based on the reservoir properties
Analytically model steam flooding process and apply the analytical models in preliminary engineering design
Analytically model cyclic steam stimulation process and apply the analytical models in preliminary engineering design
Analytically model steam assisted gravity drainage and apply the analytical models in preliminary engineering design
Design steam flooding process for heavy oil recovery
Design cyclic steam stimulation process for heavy oil recovery
Design steam assisted gravity drainage process for heavy oil recovery
Design a thermal recovery process that maximizes the net present value
