An Integrated Energy Optimization Model for the Canadian Oil Sands Industry
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-28)The aim of this thesis was to develop a new energy model that predicts the energy infrastructure required to maintain the oil production in the Oil Sands operation at minimum cost. Previous studies in this area have focused ... -
Oil Sands Bitumen Emulsion Upgrading by Using In Situ Hydrogen Generated through the Water Gas Shift Reaction
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-09)Canada has a large reserve of oil sands bitumen which is highly viscous and contains high percentages of asphaltenes and heteroatoms. Currently hot water extraction or steam injection is used in recovering the bitumen as ... -
Techno-Economic Study of CO<sub>2</sub> Capture from Natural Gas Based Hydrogen Plants<br><br>
(University of Waterloo, 2006)As reserves of conventional crude oil are depleted, there is a growing need to develop unconventional oils such as heavy oil and bitumen from oil sands. In terms of recoverable oil, Canadian oil sands are considered to ...
