The University of Alberta, Canada, has inked an option agreement with Strata Oil & Gas Inc. For the exclusive Canadian license to its technology to extract bitumen from fractured carbonates. Because of “reserve growth,” a country or a company may increase its oil reserves without tapping new areas if it can recover more oil from its known fields. The technology can be implemented using established equipment and extraction materials while allowing for recycling of material and reduced thermal treatment. Improving Energy Efficiency in Thermal Oil Recovery Surface FacilitiesN.M. In the 1960s, introduction of thermal recovery technologies (application of steam technology) caused abrupt and substantial additions to reserves in fields that contain heavy oil (American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than . Improving Energy Efficiency in Thermal Oil Recovery. This distinguishes in situ recovery from surface mining, which requires removing topsoil and other overburden and Another common form of thermal recovery is cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). In situ oil sands production means extracting bitumen from underground by drilling wells into the reservoir, as with conventional oil and natural gas production. Than 20% with conventional techniques, Dhinsa says . ET Energy's Electro Thermal technology could be used to pump out 600 billion barrels of Alberta's oil sands bitumen.
