These fragments (with waste rock largely removed) are then mixed with hot water and pumped to large tanks at the primary upgrader, where the sand, water, and bitumen are separated. Taking just those that relate to oil sand production roughly 70% plan on using thermal methods to recover deeper oil (mainly SAGD, though there are small amounts of THAI, cyclic steam and electrothermal). Cenovus-christina-lake-oil-sands Experts say more bitumen will be recovered from thermal projects than traditional mining by 2015; but this latest report means that's already ahead of schedule. Improving Energy Efficiency in Thermal Oil Recovery Surface FacilitiesN.M. Improving Energy Efficiency in Thermal Oil Recovery. Which breaks the rock into small fragments. Baytex's current asset portfolio includes thermal recovery projects at Seal in the Peace River Oil Sands and at Kerrobert in southwest Saskatchewan. If successful, a commercial project would begin in 2014 with expected production in 2016. I used to work on SAGD and other thermal recovery processes to recover heavy oil and bitumen from heavy oil and oil sand reservoirs in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Regulatory approval has been received for the construction and operation of a two-stage bitumen recovery scheme using steam-assisted gravity drainage. GLJ's development profile of Grizzly Oil Sands ULC is a private, Calgary-based oil sands exploration and production company focusing primarily on the development of oil sands resources using thermal recovery methods. GLJ identified 1.8 billion barrels of exploitable bitumen in place and has assigned 824 million barrels of contingent resource as a best estimate using steam assisted gravity drainage and Grizzly's ARMS development model. Jen-Russel-Houston held up a half-tube of core of high-density fractures riddled throughout bitumen saturated rock. Baytex plans a pilot study in 2013.
