This course will introduce you to basic thermal theory and terminology, and will demonstrate how these principles are implemented to increase reservoir temperature and promote production. Steamflooding, CSS, SAGD and in-situ combustion all utilize the same thermal principles but employ different drilling and recovery techniques. This course will promote a comparative view of the strengths and failures of current as well as developing technologies. A general understanding of thermal heavy oil technology will provide you with insight into both the present and the future of Alberta's oil and gas industry.
Prerequisite: PETR-216 Primary Heavy Oil. Note for the self-study option: course starts when registration processed; registrations accepted between Aug 20, 2010 - Dec 18, 2010.
