A Review of the Application of Non-Condensable Gases in Heavy Oil: Recovery Methods, Techniques, and Parametrization Employing Experiments, Simulations, and Field Implementations

The use of steam-based thermal recovery techniques in heavy oil exploitation faces critical limitations in deep formations, aquifer-bearing reservoirs, and formations with high clay content. This has motivated increasing research interest in the use of non-condensable gases (NCGs...
