This proposal describes the development of a microfluidic platform to inform and improve Canadian oil recovery operations, in partnership with Calgary-based Suncor Energy. Two microfluidic platforms will be developed to study pore-scale transport phenomena in the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. The focus is on screening of conditions and additives for improved economic and environmental performance. The work is enabled by the concept of leveraging microfluidic methods to understand and quantify pore-scale processes in subsurface oil recovery operations.

该提案描述了一个微流体平台的开发，以告知和改善加拿大的石油回收业务，与卡尔加里的森科尔能源公司合作。 两个微流控平台将被开发用于研究蒸汽辅助重力泄油（SAGD）过程中的孔隙尺度传输现象。 重点是筛选条件和添加剂，以提高经济和环境性能。 这项工作是通过利用微流体方法来理解和量化地下采油作业中的孔隙尺度过程的概念来实现的。
