There is a considerable push to develop heavy oil using low Green House Gases (GHG, non-steam) processes. This can be achieved using solvent, which may be particularly relevant in the heavy oil fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan that have previously undergone Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). Primary production from these reservoirs leads to recovery of 5 – 10% of Original Oil in Place (OOIP) so there are significant volumes of oil still present, and without the ability to inject steam in post-CHOPS fields this makes them excellent candidates to develop non-thermal solvent recovery processes.

使用低绿色家用气体（GHG，非蒸汽）工艺开发重油具有相当大的推动力。这可以使用溶剂来实现，这在之前已经经历了含砂冷采重油（CHOPS）的阿尔伯塔和萨斯喀彻温省的重油油田中可能特别相关。这些储层的初级生产导致原始石油储量（OOIP）的5 - 10%的采收率，因此仍然存在大量的石油，并且在CHOPS后的油田中没有注入蒸汽的能力，这使得它们成为开发非热溶剂采收工艺的优秀候选者。
