Heavy Oil & Bitumen Process Facility Engineering
What you need to know
In the recent years, solvent co-injection technologies for thermal heavy oil recovery processes have become attractive for the industry as these technologies offer improvement in bitumen production rate and steam-to-oil ratio and reduce GHG emission. The injection and production of solvent makes the processing facility of thermal operation more complex compared to conventional SAGD and CSS. In particular, consideration in facility design for production surveillance and solvent measurement is a critical aspect, enabling technology performance evaluation for field pilots and commercial applications of these technologies. Our team at Lynx Petroleum Technologies with years of experience in solvent technology development can help to design the suitable facility for heavy oil thermal-solvent applications.
Our consulting services on facility engineering for thermal and primary heavy oil, conventional and unconventional applications include:
- Process facility conceptual design for solvent based recovery processes
- Production measurement and surveillance system design
- Operational surveillance and solvent production data analysis
