A method for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation is described. The method for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation may include heating a first volume (162) of the formation using a first set of heaters (158). A second volume (164) of the formation may be heated using a second set of heaters (158). The first volume may be spaced apart from the second volume by a third volume of the formation. The first volume, second volume, and/or third volume may be sized, shaped, and/or located to inhibit deformation of subsurface equipment caused by geomechanical motion of the formation during heating.

Cogeneration systems and processes for treating hydrocarbon containing formations

A thermodynamic system that produces mechanical, electrical power, and/or fluid streams for heating or cooling. The cycle contains a combustion system that produces an energetic fluid by combustion of a fuel with an oxidant. A thermal diluent may be used in the cycle to improve performance, including but not limited to power, efficiency, economics, emissions, dynamic and off-peak load performance, and/or turbine inlet temperature (TIT) regulation and cooling heated components. The cycle preferably includes a heat recovery system and a condenser or other means to recover and recycle heat and the thermal diluent from the energetic fluid to improve the cycle thermodynamic efficiency and reduce energy conversion costs. The cycle may also include controls for temperatures, pressures, and flow rates throughout the cycle, and controls power output, efficiency, and energetic fluid composition.

Thermal processes for subsurface formations

The present invention is directed to a method comprising contacting an oil sand with a suitable solvent to generate a solvated oil sand slurry; separating solvent-diluted bitumen from the solvated oil sand slurry to generate (a) a solvent-diluted bitumen and (b) a slurry with increased solids concentration; and filtering the slurry with increased solids concentration The method of the present invention may be used to produce a low ash bitumen product and dry tailings from oil sands

Closed loop solvent extraction process for oil sands

Systems for heating a subsurface formation are described. The systems include a plurality of oxidizers positioned in a wellbore to form an oxidizer assembly. One or more of the oxidizers may include a shield with flame stabilizers. The flame stabilizers may stabilize the flame zone of the oxidizer by controlling fluid flow entering the shield and by controlling fluid flowing in the oxidizer. One or more of the oxidizers may be a catalytic oxidizer. Catalytic oxidizers may facilitate ignition of the oxidizers of the oxidizer assembly.
