Thermo-osmotic energy conversion(TOEC) is an emerging process that efficiently extracts energy from low-grade heat sources. By utilizing a temperature gradient, TOEC induces a partial vapor pressure difference across a hydrophobic membrane. This pressure gradient drives the vapor from the hot feed side through the membrane's pores to the cold permeate side. The movement of water from the hot feed side to the permeate side of the membrane results in excess fluid in the cold reservoir, generating a pressurized flow that can be harnessed to drive a turbine and generate electricity. 1, record 1, English, - thermo%2Dosmotic%20energy%20conversion

Combustion Override Split Production Horizontal Well Process(COSH). The main feature of this process, developed by the Alberta Research Council(ARC), is implementation of gravity drainage using a basal horizontal well in a combustion process. The configuration of different wells is critical to the operation of this process. A linear configuration of vertical air injection wells is drilled and completed in the upper portion of the reservoir. A horizontal oil production well is completed in the bottom of the reservoir, aligned and positioned beneath the vertical injection wells. The reservoir is prepared for ignition and combustion is initiated at each of the injection wells. A hot fluid-transmissive chamber is formed around each of the injection wells as combustion proceeds. Combustion gas communication is established with the gas production wells. Heated oil and water, produced by the combustion front in each hot chamber, drains under the effect of gravity and is brought to the surface through the horizontal production well. 3, record 2, English, - combustion%20override%20split%20production%20horizontal%20well%20process

Ce procédé est fondé sur le principe de la combustion in-situ par injection d'air. L'allumage de l'air provoque la combustion de l'oxygène contenu dans l'air au contact de l'huile qui, elle, est oxydée. Par rapport à un procédé conventionnel de combustion où le front de combustion se propage entre deux puits distants horizontalement de plusieurs dizaines de mètres, l'idée proposée ici est de voir se créer un front de combustion qui se propage de haut en bas dans un réservoir entre un puits vertical situé en haut du réservoir dans la couche imprégnée d'huile et un puits horizontal situé en bas du réservoir. L'air étant composé d'azote et l'oxygène, quand la combustion a lieu, elle a pour effet de voir disparaître l'oxygène qui réagit avec l'huile pour donner une huile oxydée, du CO2 et de l'eau. Reste l'azote qui par gravité va rester sous forme de chapeau de gaz (ou «gas cap») dans la partie supérieure du réservoir. Pour évacuer cet azote et éviter qu'il ne fasse cesser la combustion, il est proposé de le produire par des puits verticaux situés latéralement par rapport aux deux puits déjà cités. Ce procédé a été testé au laboratoire mais n'a pas été validé sur champ.

Les différentes techniques de production de brut lourd peuvent être soit du type «primaire» soit du type «amélioré». Suivant les caractéristiques de l'huile et de la roche réservoir l'une ou l'autre sera employée. La production primaire [...] est envisageable pour les huiles lourdes grâce à la technologie dite du «puits horizontal». Cette technique permet en effet d'améliorer considérablement la productivité d'un puits et d'augmenter le taux de récupération ultime. Elle est utilisée au Venezuela pour produire «à froid» (sans réchauffage de l'huile) les bruts extra-lourds de l'Orénoque de façon rentable. Elle n'est cependant pas adaptée aux formations non consolidées où la production de sable associé à l'huile est relativement importante. 2, record 2, French, - combustion%20in%20situ%20avec%20puits%20de%20production%20horizontal

Hyper-thermal fields. These are of two kinds: ... wet fields, producing pressurized water at temperatures exceeding 100ºC, so that when the fluid is brought to the surface and its pressure reduced, a fraction is flashed into steam while the greater part remains as boiling water ... Dry fields, producing dry saturated, or slightly super-heated steam at pressures above atmospheric. Hyper-thermal wet and dry fields are sometimes referred to as "water-dominated" and "steam-dominated" fields respectively. 4, record 3, English, - wet%20steam%20field

In partnership with the Alberta Oilsands Technical Authority(AOSTRA) in 1979 the pressure cycle steam drive system was developed. This process takes advantage of a basal water zone, which underlies the oil sands in this area, to heat the oil sands deposit from below. Once a hot communication path is established between wells, continuous steam injection is begun, with the injection and production rates controlled to alternately pressure up and blow down the reservoir. 1, record 6, English, - pressure%20cycle%20steam%20drive%20system
