HO - CHOPS & Lab Testing

Wednesday, 13 March
PALOMINO A-C
Technical
This session contains papers that address issues affecting the performance of several different heavy oil recovery processes.  Through laboratory studies, they explore complex multiphase flow behaviour in heavy oil reservoirs in response to stimulation via electromagnetic radiation, CO2 injection, and steam injection.
