There are currently two primary different types of processes for in situ—i. The pilot will use three parallel horizontal wells with electrical cables to conduct heat throughout the targeted bitumen formation. This heat exchange unit is like a kettle, and the heat from high temperature and high pressure water is used to boil another, less pure, water stream recovered during oil production. April 19, 2013 - Reducing fresh water use and enhancing oil recovery in oil sands development are among five new pilot projects supported by Alberta's The project is designed to develop the bitumen in a reservoir that is too viscous for conventional production, but does not require as much heat as most current thermal projects. STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINGE (SAGD) The most promising thermal recovery technology is the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process. ET Energy's Electro Thermal technology could be used to pump out 600 billion barrels of Alberta's oil sands bitumen. A CNOOC limited offshore project, and Sunshine Oilsands' research of the 'multi-component thermal fluid thermal recovery technology' gives a possible indication that it could work economically in bitumen reservoirs,” co-chairman Songning Shen said in a press release. Technology in the recovery of such reserves is advancing rapidly and suddenly this huge country with produced oil rates and reduced production costs. With some experts predicting peak oil as early as 2030, there is more and more interest in so called "unconventional resources" such as heavy oil and bitumen. A tiny Canadian oilsands company has struck a deal with a subsidiary of China's state-owned oil corporation, agreeing to trade information on oilsands technology and potential exploration efforts. Pairs of parallel horizontal wells, one for steam and one for production, make it possible to recover bitumen continuously from oil sands. , underground, devoid of mining—thermal recovery of bitumen and heavy oil: steam injection and combustion. The steam produced is then distributed From the folks that brought you the first microwave nonlethal weapon system ( Makes you think your burning) are now after bitumen, tar sands & heavy oil, with peak power renewable energy.
