SOLVE adds a solvent to the steam in SAGD (basic operation depicted above) to reduce energy input and water consumption. The production well extracts the bitumen to surface heavy oil production facilities. SAGD is the predominant in-situ recovery method currently used in Canada’s oil sands. Source: StatoilHydro.
the developer of a process for harvesting algae and cleaning up oil & gas water, announced that its second original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) agreement will target oil service companies in the Canadian oil sands market. LH was an early private investor in Athabasca Oil Corporation. OriginOil, Inc.,
The biocrude oil came from many different sources, including wastewater sludge from Detroit, and food waste collected from prison and an army base. Just as crude oil from petroleum sources must be refined to be used in vehicles, biocrude needs to be refined into biofuel. —Michael Thorson, a PNNL engineer and project manager.
to proceed with its Narrows Lake oil sands project, with an ultimate gross production capacity of 130,000 barrels per day. SAP combines steam injection with solvents, such as butane, to help bring the oil to the surface. Cenovus also anticipates that SAP may increase total oil recovery by as much as 15%. Earlier post.).
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) are beginning testing of the Soletair demo plant, which uses air-captured carbon dioxide to produce renewable fuels and chemicals. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is used for hydrogen production. Phase 1: Renewable energy.
(JAPEX), will postpone making a final investment decision (FID) for the Hangingstone Oil Sands Expansion Project ( earlier post ) in Alberta Province, Canada, based on a longer-than-expected approval process with the Alberta authorities. infrastructure expansion to the site including a natural gas pipeline (by JACOS), diluent and diluted.
(JAPEX) plans to invest ¥65-70 billion (US$830–893 million) in its Canadian oil sands projects, Chief Executive Osamu Watanabe told Dow Jones Newswires. China’s biggest offshore oil and gas producer, said it will buy Canadian oil-sands developer OPTI Canada Inc. and Esso (Imperial Oil) to form the PCEJ group.
UOP LLC used its renewable jet fuel process technology ( earlier post ) to convert oil from camelina, an inedible plant, to renewable jet fuel for a biofuel demonstration flight by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Earlier post.). The UOP process produces a green jet fuel that is blended seamlessly with petroleum-based fuel.

Completely reliant on imported oil as a key source of energy, the Government of Guyana, through its Agriculture Sector Development Unit (ASDU), is turning to bioethanol as a source of fuel. The project is supported by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
SUNFIRE-SYNLINK —a co-electrolyzer based on solid oxide cell (SOC) technology—enables the highly efficient production (a projected ~80% efficiency on an industrial scale) of synthesis gas in a single step using water, CO 2 and green electricity. Background: high temperature co-electrolysis.
High-temperature electrolyzers for hydrogen production use both heat and electricity to split water and are more efficient than low-temperature electrolyzers. This could be sold regionally as a commodity for fertilizers, oil refining, steel production, material handling equipment, fuel cell vehicles, or even carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.
a process engineering and design firm ( earlier post ), has filed a patent application for a new technology for making biofuels from microalgae that focuses on the production of fatty acids rather than the extraction of algal oil. de-oiled algal biomass. Unitel Technologies, Inc.,
where he worked with Continental Airlines in helping to achieve the first US commercial demo flight using an algae-oil blend.). The process employs viable, high growth rate, high oil content algae strains. (Previously, Goodall served as Vice President of Downstream Technology at Sapphire Energy, Inc., Brian Goodall.
With this layout, the demo car achieves superior longitudinal and lateral dynamics combined with excellent vehicle stability for more safety. Each e-drive system in the demo vehicle uses 140 kW motors, adding up to an overall performance of 420 kW peak.
The decision triggers investments of around NOK 2 billion (US$238 million), realizing a 60-70% cost reduction per MW from the Hywind demo project in Norway. The pilot park will cover around 4 square kilometres, at a water depth of 95-120 meters. With fixed turbines, offshore wind is optimal for 20-50 meters water depth.
The facility is targeted to be at Swan Hills, 250 km north of Edmonton, and near the oil sands projects that are scheduled to demand 1 billion ft 3 /day or more of gas for fuel. No steam or water is currently required to be injected into the process although this can be accommodated if required. Start-up is planned for 2012.
The ethane subsequently undergoes dehydrogenation to form ethylene and water. Siluria has also built foundational partnerships with industry-leading engineering firms to both validate and commercialize its technology in specific projects within the ethylene, gas processing and oil refining industries.

It isn’t dependent on crude oil, it is compatible with the existing infrastructure and it offers the prospect of a closed carbon cycle. As in Werlte, green electricity supplied the energy, and water and CO 2 were also used as raw materials. Audi and its development partners Global Bioenergies S.A. Earlier post.).
Lancaster-based NanoSUN Ltd, supported by an innovation loan, develops and manufactures hydrogen fuel products for customers in the oil, gas and transport sectors, helping them to triple the number of highly skilled engineers and build prototypes for them product and demo. The UK will invest £9.4
Arc has built the first models of its much-anticipated Arc Sport 500hp electric wake boat, and we got a chance to take it for a quick demo in Long Beach, CA and holy heck, this thing rips. After getting a quick demo ride from Arc, it was time for me to grab the helm and go for a spin.
The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. This choice replaces the conventional engine valve train—valves, seats, guides, seals, springs, rockers, camshaft, bearings, timing chain, and oil lubrication—with a simple set of holes in the cylinder wall.
liter PowerStroke V8 (475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft) is now supposed to be capable of longer intervals between oil changes, with Ford believing this will be a boon to fleet operators. In our demo, the company focused on cranes and snowplows.
If we can be in a professional hearing protector to use on airports, construction sites, mines, whatever you use, factories, oil rig platforms, you can do almost anything. We have zero emissions to air and water. And they develop a technology, and it’s a great demo technology. So that’s where we are totally unique. It’s crazy.
We were not told of any rainwater harvesting plan, so I guess most of the water is coming by pipeline. The paint shop alone requires about one lakh litres of makeup water every day. 95% of the water is recycled. Ventilation was good – with ducts for water-cooled air and 10 metre diameter ceiling super-fans.
He recognizes the diminishing power of the oil and gas industry, and embraces the imminent future of electrically powered transportation. For over 40 years I have organized demos and exhibited EVs, especially light EVs, at in-person EVents to thousands of people. His Texas roots honed his arguments supporting EV industry expansion.

He had contributed to the invention of Shell mineral oil, which is still being used in our cars. Miles of fabrics are immersed in gigantic “washing machines” full of dye and water. Alchemie’s machines dye cotton using 95 percent less water and 70 percent less energy. It is no coincidence that the customer turned to Hudd.
