Heavy crude oil accounts for about 15-20% of total crude oil production. Despite various Enhanced Oil Recovery technologies that offer significant technical and economic success, many of these processes are not fully energy-efficient and have a considerable environmental footprint. In recent decades, several sustainable technologies and scientific advancements have emerged, offering the potential to make heavy oil and bitumen production both economically viable and more environmentally friendly. Advanced Environmentally Friendly Technologies for Heavy Crude Oil Production presents a comprehensive account and critical review of the technologies that have the highest potential for successful implementation in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies. It discusses progress in both academia (physical or laboratory and numerical simulations) and industry (pilots).
