Popis:	A considerable portion of hydrocarbon resources in the world comprises heavy oils. Due to the high viscosity of these oils, production from these resources is difficult and requires especial enhanced oil recovery techniques. Carbon dioxide (CO2) based vapor extraction (VAPEX) process has recently been introduced as an effective method for recovery of heavy oils. However, this method has not yet been implemented in oil fields. Previous studies on CO2-based VAPEX were performed in small cells under low pressure (
