Injecting steam and flue gas into heavy oil
Capture Carbon. Improve Recovery.
Can carbon dioxide make more heavy oil?
Petroleum engineers are exploring how carbon dioxide can enhance heavy oil recovery. One operator is proposing a process that combines steam injection with flue gas injection to improve reservoir performance while making productive use of captured emissions.
Finding these emerging applications can be challenging. AppIntel AI helps you identify new technical developments, pilot projects, and field trials involving CO₂ across the oil and gas industry. Search for carbon dioxide in AppIntel AI. Then watch it uncover research, operating results, and novel recovery concepts and send them to you as they emerge.

In this case study, a heavy oil producer is applying steam and flue gas injection to enhance a heavy oil reservoir. Review the recovery mechanism, material balance analysis, supporting research, and surface facilities behind the project.

AppIntel AI shows heavy oil type logs indicating picks and cap rock thickness. Geologists and geophysicists can compare this project to determine how closely it matches their own.
You can leverage the free geological information AppIntel AI provides. It may be free, but it is also very trustworthy. AppIntel contains the best the industry has to offer scrutinized by the picky regulator. The regulator has the power to refuse and uses it often. They challenge every pick, every pressure. Using anything else is dangerous.
Is the future flue gas?
What will be the future for the battle of heavy oil recovery? AppIntel AI has the leading indicators for this battle. Will injectants be methane, propane, or CO2? Primary or thermal? SAGD or CSS? Will surfactant make a big difference?
With AppIntel AI you get the leading indicators on early advances in this field.
More than conferences and journals
AppIntel AI has more documents than SPE papers — 10 times more. It has ten thousand times the number of documents written by Shakespeare.
AppIntel is a made-for-purpose oil and gas artificial intelligence application focused on improving oil production and reducing costs.
Advances fill the pages of AppIntel output. Unlike technical papers, all AppIntel AI advances are ground truthed to a physical well location.
AppIntel AI is much more complete than conferences and journals.
AppIntel AI: Trustworthy and very current
Taking a class is fine. Skimming a textbook is great. Reading a few technical papers is okay. Attending a lecture might help. A conference would be interesting.
But if you really want to know an operator's reason for a field technology trial, AppIntel AI can show you their thinking in their submissions to the regulator. In them, the operator pitches the proposed operation, reveals all their strong reasoning, defends their plan of action and even reports on progress.
AppIntel is the most useful AI in the oil and gas industry: industry-specific, trusted and very current.
The regulatory application documents upon which AppIntel AI is trained are leading indicators: An application is argued before any action happens in the field. The information is the most current you will find anywhere.
A year fresher than technical papers.
Years more current than university classes.
A decade more current than textbooks.
AppIntel AI uses reliable, government-submitted oil and gas data that is organized, well-documented, vetted and current. Its accuracy and accessibility make it a top choice for oil and gas professionals.
AppIntel brings you huge return on your AI investment – adding production and recovery
Canada is the seminal inception of thermal heavy oil innovation. In the last 20 years, thermal heavy oil and bitumen have doubled Canada’s oil production.
With AppIntel AI, you will see all the detail in industry submissions from steam-oil ratio, to facility concerns, to recovery factors. All carefully considered and approved by a picky regulator.
