| Title |
| Fundamentals of Heavy Oil (4 credit hours) |
| Course Description |
|
Heavy oil represents a significant portion of the world's oil reserves. Both conventional mining and modern in-situ thermal extraction methods play a critical role in global oil production. These methods represent recent advances in commercial application, but their future production levels are uncertain due to controversial environmental concerns. This 4 hour course takes an unbiased and pragmatic approach to these applications, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Fundamentals of Heavy Oil explains the geological, developmental and commercial aspects of heavy oil reservoirs. It aims to provide technical professionals with a comprehensive understanding of today's upstream heavy oil production, including recent innovations. It will also outline technology screening criteria and provide insightful evaluations of different approaches.
