The long-term goal of this five-year Chair is to provide a reliable tool to explore and validate the best novelrecovery processes that are both economically viable and environmentally sensitive and reduce water use andgreenhouse gas emissions. This research is vital to the viability of the oil and gas industry, one of Canada'smost important industrial sectors, which has been operating under low commodity prices for two years. Thenew processes to explore were identified by industry as requiring validation prior to field testing. Accuratereservoir models and efficient simulators developed in this program are the tools required to study andoptimize oil recovery processes with successful prediction of reservoir behaviours and environmental impacts.Essential features of flow and transport processes in petroleum reservoirs will be reflected in new mathematicalmodels. New numerical models can reliably generate solutions without false information. Accurate algorithmsand computational codes will then be developed to support the greening of heavy oil and oil sands recoveryprocesses and the renewal of a more sustainable oil and gas industry. This can only be achieved when eachnovel recovery process is carefully modelled and reliable simulations demonstrate the validity of the process.

这位五年椅子的长期目标是提供可靠的工具，以探索和验证最佳的新颖回收过程，这些过程在经济上既可行又对环境敏感，并减少了用水量和果岭屋的气体排放。这项研究对于石油和天然气行业的生存能力至关重要，这是加拿大最重要的工业领域之一，该行业已经在商品价格低的情况下运营了两年。然后，行业将要探索的过程确定为需要在现场测试之前进行验证。该计划中开发的精确材料模型和有效的模拟器是研究并将其置于储层行为和环境影响的基油回收过程所需的工具。在新的数学模型中，将反映石油储层中流动和运输过程的必要特征。新的数值模型可以在没有错误信息的情况下可靠地生成解决方案。然后将开发准确的算法和计算法规，以支持重油和油砂回收过程的绿化以及更可持续的石油和天然气行业的更新。只有在仔细建模每个型恢复过程并且可靠的模拟证明该过程的有效性时，才能实现这一点。
