    Abstract: Methods and systems for producing an oil sand slurry from subsurface reservoirs include a gas lift method to lift a slurry using a lift liquid with controlled boiling pressure and temperature range. The gas lift method utilizes phase transformation from liquid to gas by boiling or evaporation or partial evaporation to lift the slurry to the surface. The composition of the lift fluid can also be utilized to promote easier surface recovery of bitumen from oil sands by using a composition of lift fluid that would contain two groups of chemical component. The first group of chemical components would generally include lighter hydrocarbons, such as methane or ethane, that would evaporate at an appropriate pressure and temperature to lead to gas lift. A second group of chemical components could include non-evaporating solvent components which remain in liquid phase and aid in bitumen extraction during the slurry lift.

    Abstract: A method for recovering heavy oil is provided. In at least one specific embodiment, the method includes accessing, from two or more locations, a subsurface formation having an overburden stress disposed thereon, the formation comprising heavy oil and one or more solids. The formation is pressurized to a pressure sufficient to relieve the overburden stress. A differential pressure is created between the two or more locations to provide one or more high pressure locations and one or more low pressure locations. The differential pressure is varied within the formation between the one or more high pressure locations and the one or more low pressure locations to mobilize at least a portion of the solids and a portion of the heavy oil in the formation. The mobilized solids and heavy oil then flow toward the one or more low pressure locations to provide a slurry comprising heavy oil and one or more solids. The slurry comprising the heavy oil and solids is flowed to the surface where the heavy oil is recovered from the one or more solids. The one or more solids are recycled to the formation.

    Abstract: Electrically active, cathodically coloring electrochromic polymers are blended with a non-electrochromic, non-electrically conductive binder polymer to provide an electrochomic composition with greatly enhanced performance in an electrochromic device over time. It is also found that blending an electrochromic polymer with a non-coloring electroactive material allows for greater design in preparing electrochromic devices as it enables the use of a higher amount of typically low coloring anodic materials due to increased need for charge balancing.

    Abstract: Methods for recovering heavy oil are provided. In at least one embodiment, the process includes conditioning a reservoir of interest, then initially producing fluids and particulate solids such as sand to increase reservoir access ("slurry production"). The initial production may generate high permeability channels or wormholes in the formation, which may be used for heavy oil production processes ("hydrocarbon production") such as cold flow (CHOPS) or enhanced production processes such as SAGD, or VAPEX.

    Abstract: Blending an electrically active, anodically coloring, electrochromic polymer with a non-electrochromic, non-electrically conductive binder polymer greatly enhances the performance of the anodically coloring, electrochromic polymer in an electrochromic device over time. In addition to improved physical characteristics of the blend, e.g., film build, durability etc, the coloristic properties, including color space and color strength, of the device comprising the blend are more durable than when using the neat polymer, and in certain instances, the color space and color intensity provided by the blend is superior to that available from the neat polymer.
