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: Geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) into deep
saline aquifers is a promising strategy for mitigation
of global atmospheric CO2 levels-a main cause of
climate change. These aquifers have the capacity
to safely store significant amounts of CO2 and are
available worldwide. As such, reaction dynamics and
multiphase transport accompanying CO2 injection in
deep aquifers are important to… more
