Synopsis

Sustainable In-Situ Heavy Oil and Bitumen Recovery: Techniques, Case Studies, and Environmental Considerations delivers a critical reference for today’s energy engineers who want to gain an accurate understanding of anticipated GHG emissions in heavy oil recovery. Structured to break down every method with introductions, case studies, technical limitations and summaries, this reference gives engineers a look at the latest hybrid approaches needed to tackle heavy oil recoveries while calculating carbon footprints. Starting from basic definitions and rounding out with future challenges, this book will help energy engineers collectively evolve heavy oil recovery with sustainability applications in mind.

• Explains environmental footprint considerations within each recovery method
• Includes the latest hybrid methods such as Hybrid of Air-CO2N2 and Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS)
• Bridges practical knowledge through case studies, summaries and remaining technical challenges

From the Back Cover

Heavy oil is a common source recovered in reservoirs but remains highly intensive in emissions. Sustainable In-Situ Heavy Oil and Bitumen Recovery: Techniques, Case Studies, and Environmental Considerations delivers a critical reference for today’s energy engineers to gain an accurate understanding of anticipated GHG emissions in heavy oil recovery. Structured to break down every method with introductions, case studies, technical limitations, and summaries, the reference gives engineers a look at the latest hybrid approaches needed to continue tackling heavy oil recoveries while calculating carbon footprint. Starting from basic definitions and rounding out with future challenges, Sustainable In-Situ Heavy Oil and Bitumen Recovery: Techniques, Case Studies, and Environmental Considerations helps the energy engineer collectively evolve heavy oil recovery with sustainability applications in mind.
