Solvents are used to increase production and reduce steam-to-oil ratio in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Variations of SAGD that use solvents, such as expanding solvent (ES) SAGD or ...

New modeling tools delivered excellent predictions of removal rates of H2S, CO2, and mercaptans along with total acid gas volumes. 1 Simulation studies noted particularly strong agreement in ...

Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the ...

CALGARY – From nuclear bombs to radio waves, to a combustible “fire flooding” idea, scientists have tried, with some successes and many failures, to develop new and improved ways to pull oil from the ...

French researchers have patented an eco-friendly liquid mixture that could help trap harmful pollutants from the air. The non-flammable solvent contains urea and choline salt, a common ingredient in ...
