Summary The expanding solvent-steam-assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD) is a newly proposed thermal recovery technique showing promising efficiency in terms of a smaller steam-to-oil ratio and greater production rate to recover heavy oils and bitumen

One reason it is challenging to predict oil recovery rates from solvent-based heavy oil recovery methods is that the interplay of the mass transfer and convective flow mechanisms is not well unders...

Summary The oil-production rate of in-situ heavy-oil-recovery processes involving the injection of gaseous hydrocarbons partly depends on the diffusivity of the gas in the bitumen. Data for gas diffusivities, particularly above ambient temperature, a
