Experimental investigations in improving the VAPEX performance for recovery of heavy oil and bitumen

The process of vapor extraction (VAPEX) is a recovery process which targets the heavy oil and bitumen resources. Owing to high viscosity values for these unconventional types of oil, the recovery processes in such reserves are still challenging. The unconventional oil recovery processes usually incl...
