Clarifying Multi-Component Polymerization Kinetics for Tailoring Properties of Acrylamide/Acrylic Acid Copolymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-30)Among water-soluble polymers, copolymers of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) are probably the most common and widely used in practical applications. However, information on the kinetics of the AAm/AAc radical ... -
Experimental investigations in improving the VAPEX performance for recovery of heavy oil and bitumen
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)The process of vapor extraction (VAPEX) is a recovery process which targets the heavy oil and bitumen resources. Owing to high viscosity values for these unconventional types of oil, the recovery processes in such reserves ...
