Heavy-Oil Recovery Processes 2: Thermal (CSS, SAGD), Solvents, and Innovations

This stand-alone, one-day course provides technical professionals with an overview of current upstream heavy-oil production technologies and introduces new upstream production technologies that have been developed in the last several years.  This course focuses on:
•	Steam Injection:  Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)
•	Solvent Injection
•	ElectroMagnetics
•	Fireflooding / Air Injection / In Situ Combustion / Toe-to-Heel Air Injection (THAI)
•	Hybrid and Sequenced Methods
Technology screening guidelines will be outlined and informative assessments of the various approaches will be provided.  

Part I is a separate course that address other recovery processes:  Cold Production and CHOPS, plus some aspects of flooding.  Open this link for additional information on Part I Heavy-Oil Recovery Processes 1:  Cold Production, CHOPS, and Flooding course.
