2000 05 01 STATUS UPDATE The "Thermal Solvent Process - Full Scale Engineering and Economics " joint industry research project was initiated by Suncor Energy Inc. and launched through PTAC in 1999. The project has been successfully completed with a total of 10 participants. The thermal solvent process uses a combination of moderate reservoir heating and gaseous solvents to promote recovery for in situ oil sands bitumen recovery by reduction of viscosity and in situ upgrading. Greenhouse gas emissions are greatly reduced through a combination of CO2sequestration and reduced reservoir heating. Plans for continued fundamental, joint industry research are under consideration by the current participants. |
