The proposed research will develop and test a sustainable remediation framework and set of proposed social and economic indicators. The framework will build upon existing tools and complement current practices and regulations. The intern 's work is part of SRC's two-year project is to provide a new niche service that will help SRC's clients select […]

This research project with the industry partner Saskatchewan Research Council focuses on the displacement front instability in heavy oil recovery processes such as water flooding, solvent injection and polymer flooding. In those processes, the less viscous displacing fluid usually moves faster than the more viscous displaced heavy oil. This results in an instability that manifests […]

NEXEN has proposed a novel and advanced thermal EOR technique for oil sands recovery, which is both economically efficient and environmentally sustainable as compared to current thermal oil recovery method (SAGD). The focus of this research project is to investigate, analyze, improve, and design heat transfer modeling and control strategies for proposed enhanced oil sands […]

Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to understand fluid flow mechanisms, well performance and future resources recovery in petroleum industry. Better and more powerful tool can lead to better reservoir management and more oil production with less cost and less environmental impact. This project, collaborating with Saskatchewan Research Council, aims to improve the current mathematical […]
