Fundamentals of Unconventional Resources (FUR II)

由主要研究员Apostolos Kantzas博士领导的非常规恢复基础的成功完成已进入第二个任期。FUR II是一个扩展计划，反映了社会转型时期石油和天然气行业不断变化的需求。FUR II的工作是与工业界一起建立的，以重建能源部门的活力。新的提取技术将揭示在深层资源储层开采中纳米尺度和孔隙尺度相互作用的新的基础知识。重油和沥青强化采油将支持通过使用先进的成像和岩石分析多孔介质层析成像、应用于计算流体动力学建模的现有知识的化学和物理过程来推动减水技术的进步。第二个项目的重点是致密强化采油。致密油中的孔隙尺度渗透率将在FUR II期间开发的新储层岩石表征中得到解决。 将开发以前不可能的新水平的分析，实验数据将改变当前的模型，并导致新模型的开发。加拿大的石油和天然气经济衰退导致了围绕生产的新立法。通过这项工作，Kantzas博士正在解决公民对环境和经济的关注：减少淡水使用，减少温室气体排放，降低资本和运营成本。来自第一学期Fur I的动力将继续提供对推进传热和传质过程的动力的深入了解，介质包含水，油，气体和溶剂。第二期皮草II将满足行业需求，进而满足加拿大的价值观。

The successful completion of the Fundamentals of Unconventional Recovery lead by the primary Investigator, Dr. Apostolos Kantzas, is in its second term. FUR II is an expanded program reflecting the changing needs of the oil and gas industry during a time of societal transformation. The work of FUR II has been established with industry to rebuild the viability of the energy sector. The new extraction technologies will expose novel fundamental knowledge of nano-scale and pore-scale interactions in the recovery of deep resource reservoirs. Heavy oil and bitumen enhanced oil recovery will support advances that drive water reduction technologies by using advanced imaging and rock analysis tomography of porous media, chemical and physical processes applied to the current knowledge of computational fluid dynamics modelling. The second project is focused on Tight enhanced oil recovery. Pore scale permeability in tight oil will be addressed in novel reservoir rock characterizations developed during FUR II. A new level of analysis that was not previously possible will be developed and the data from the experiments will change current models and lead to the development of new models. Canada's oil and gas economic downturn has led to new legislation around production. With this work, Dr. Kantzas is addressing the concerns of citizens that are environmentally and economically based: reduce fresh water use, shrink greenhouse gas emissions and lower capital and operating costs. The impetus from Term I Fur I will continue to provide insight into the momentum made to advance heat and mass transfer processes media contained water, oil, gases and solvents. Term II Fur II is going to address industry needs and in turn, Canadian values.
