Description: More than 1 trillion barrels of oil deposited worldwide
is heavy oil and natural bitumen. Due to their
high viscosity and high density, extraction efficiency
of heavy oil and bitumen from natural reservoirs
is known to be less than 5% with the conventional
primary recovery methods. To increase their recovery
efficiency, a technique, known as enhanced oil
recovery, has been developed using… more

Description: Hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) has enabled recovery of natural gas and oil embedded in low permeability reservoirs. Despite its advancement in significant recovery of hydrocarbons not previously accessible from low permeability reservoirs, understanding the particle interactions and injected fluid retraction is lacking. The goal of this project is to investigate fluid dynamics of the… more
