    摘要: Methods for hydrocarbon recovery from a subsurface formation include removing a mixture comprising hydrocarbons and particulate solids from a first formation. At least a portion of the hydrocarbons are separated from the particulate solids. The particulate solids are separated into a plurality of streams. A mixed slurry comprising a first portion of the plurality of streams is injected through a first pipe into the first formation. A waste stream comprising a second portion of the plurality of streams is injected through a second pipe into a second formation. The first formation and the second formation lie in a substantially vertical line.

    摘要: Methods and systems for producing a dense oil sand slurry from subsurface reservoirs are provided. The methods include reducing pressure at a producer pipe inlet to draw a dense slurry into the producer pipe using a jet pump, generating a diluted dense slurry using the jet pump, and lifting the diluted dense slurry through the producer pipe utilizing a slurry lift apparatus, which may be a fluid lift apparatus. The systems include a producer pipe into an oil sand reservoir, a jet pump configured to generate a low pressure region around the opening of the producer pipe to draw the dense slurry into the producer pipe and dilute the dense slurry to form a diluted dense slurry; and a gas lift apparatus configured to lift the diluted dense slurry through the producer pipe towards the surface of the earth.

    摘要: A sample of material is rotated within a pair of parallel, spaced-apart laser beams. Variations in the diameter of the sample are determined with azimuth from the amounts of the laser beams intercepted by the sample as it rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the laser beams. The sample is translated along this axis within the path of the laser beams so that the diameter of the sample is determined for a plurality of spaced-apart planes through the sample perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The deformation of the material with stress is determined by measuring the variations in diameter of the sample as the stress on the sample is changed.

    摘要: Measurements of reservoir characteristics of a core sample of a subsurface formation are carried out with the core sample being subjected to pressure cycling. Pore volume changes during such pressure cycling are measured. Pore compressibility is determined from a plot of the measured pore volume change versus pressure. Scanning of the core sample with X-rays each pressure cycle identifies the pressure at which fracturing is initiated.
