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.

这个为期五年的主席的长期目标是提供一个可靠的工具来探索和验证最佳的新开采过程，这些过程既经济上可行，又对环境敏感，并减少水的使用和温室气体的排放。作为加拿大最重要的工业部门之一，这项研究对石油和天然气行业的生存能力至关重要，该行业已经在低商品价格下运营了两年。需要探索的新工艺被工业界确定为需要在现场测试之前进行验证。准确的油藏模型和高效的模拟器开发在这个程序是研究和优化采油过程所需的工具，成功预测油藏行为和环境影响。油气藏流动和输运过程的基本特征将反映在新的数学模型中。新的数值模型可以可靠地生成无虚假信息的解。随后将开发出精确的算法和计算代码，以支持重油和油砂回收过程的绿色化，以及更加可持续的石油和天然气工业的复兴。只有对每个新的恢复过程进行仔细建模，并进行可靠的仿真，证明该过程的有效性，才能实现这一点。
