“Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labor, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else” -- Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. (Scottish writer, creator of the detective Sherlock Holmes, 1859-1930)
Genoil (http://www.genoil.ca/) is a company you should bookmark. According to its Web …
“Genoil Hydroconversion Desulfurization Upgrader ®, in recent tests desulfurized at a rate of 99.5% at an operating cost saving of 61% compared with conventional competing technologies. Our process operates independently at a well, or at a refinery, the GHU upgrader significantly increases the product yields of all crudes including light, Arab Heavy, extra heavy, and heavy refinery feedstocks by dramatically raising the API and reducing sulfur. Turning lower value oil into high value crude oil and transportation fuels is what we do best. The GHU performs two tasks simultaneously, upgrading and desulfurization with incredible economics, and has been tested successfully on oil as low as 6.5 API. Our process achieves a zero waste bottomless barrel in the upgrading process unlike any traditional upgrading methods, and the heavier residue fraction left after upgrading is reused in a syntheses gas gasifier to produce the required hydrogen, steam and power to operate the process.”

Like many company Webs, Genoil has a publications page (http://genoil.ca/publications) where you can download and read articles that have appeared in various journals and magazines. That’s obvious.
\\\\\\\
Three of the articles available for download from the Genoil Web

• Converting heavy oil to light oil will profoundly impact oil supply (The Oil and Gas Magazine -Summer 2008 www.oilworks.com)
• Is bottomless-barrel refining possible? (Hydrocarbon Processing - September 2007)
• The Bottomless Barrel (Oilsands Review - March 2007)

Less obvious is the fact that by Googling you can find more articles than those listed on the Genoil publications page. This one, for example, is not yet available on the Genoil site. I found it by Googling® GENOIL HYDROCONVERSION UPGRADING SYSTEM
THE GENOIL HYDROCONVERSION UPGRADING SYSTEM (GHU®) FOR HEAVY AND EXTRA HEAVY CRUDE (2009)
Examination of the URL shows that the article is available on the Genoil Web … but to FIND it, you need to Google.

[Excerpt from THE GENOIL HYDROCONVERSION UPGRADING SYSTEM (GHU®) FOR HEAVY AND EXTRA HEAVY CRUDE]
Genoil GHU® Process Development In September 1998, Genoil decided to develop its own heavy oil upgrading process, based on a dual approach of visbreaking and hydroprocessing, and, therefore, by adding hydrogen mass, to obtain an increase in the liquid yields. A hydrogenation process should provide more than 100% of the fresh feed volume, instead of the 75-80% of the carbon rejection processes. To start the conceptual and preliminary design work on a hydrotreating process to upgrade heavy crude oil, Genoil acquired the Visbreaking technology from the Eadie Group and the “Bullet” technology from the Acquasol Corporation. The Eadie Visbreaking technology was developed through extensive pilot plant work conducted in the early 1990’s at the Alberta Research Council. This Eadie Visbreaking technology was modified and enhanced by Genoil. The Bullet technology is a mixing device which maximizes the mass transfer between two fluids. Full dispersion of one fluid into the other fluid is achieved (“micro-molecular mixing”) together with the “super-saturation” of the gas into the liquid. (Although this technology provided excellent results, Genoil has recently replaced it with an even more effective mixing technology.)

Explaining the potential of heavy oil … to your executives
“The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants them to do, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it” -- Theodore Roosevelt (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)
Executives have their uses, but they don’t always fully understand what you do for the organization. This is especially true if you are engaged in advancing the technologies that will help us utilize heavy oil until we can transition to other forms of energy.
Sometimes it helps to point them to an article that provides an overview of how the various technologies fit together. The following is just such an article …
///////
Heavy Oil:Unleashing the Potential
www.hartenergy.com (July 2006)
[Brief Excerpts]
“New strategies and improved processes cut costs and make better products.
“From drilling to operations typical of a refinery, a single heavy-oil production scheme can span technologies and processes similar to those of upstream and downstream petroleum operations. In situ recovery has benefited from advances in drilling and completion technology aimed primarily at conventional oil development. Upgrading bitumen to marketable synthetic crude uses well-proven refining processes.”
“In choosing an upgrading strategy, Syncrude’s decision was to remove carbon. Fluid coking is the heart of its upgrading process, but it does have some hydrogen addition capability and uses vacuum distillation. Fluid coking is an ExxonMobil technology in which hot bitumen is sprayed into the reactor operating at about 931°F (500°C). The bitumen is cracked into smaller molecules to make a lighter product. Carbon is removed as coke that can be used as fuel.}
“Though they have been improved,upgrading technologies in use today are basically the same ones that have been around for several decades, said Eddy Isaacs, managing director for Alberta Energy Resource Institute. “The most exciting thing happening is the idea that you can gasify the removed carbon – in the form of asphaltenes, for instance – and produce hydrogen,steam and electricity,”he said.”
“BIG MAY NOT BE BETTER In the case of heavy-oil projects, economy of scale can become “diseconomy of scale,”said Gary Nieuwenburg,vice president of synthetic crude for Nexen. Nexen’s development strategy is to expand in increments of about 60,000 b/d. To arrive at that increment, the company determined the largest size vessels that can be transported to site from a modular yard or manufacturing facility anywhere in the world.That size vessel dictated the best size for an expansion. “There is a 3 to 1 cost advantage by building components in a yard rather than stick-building on site,”Nieuwenburg said.”

As I believe that the BP-GoM catastrophy will increase the requirements that will drive the costs up on drilling and field development, this will also show in the oil price, that will increase. A higher pil price is beneficial for the Albertan oil sands, as it is necessary to have a stable high oil price, as the cost per barrel oil is higher for oil sands.

Work Smarder … Not Harder
"I love work," the Victorian humourist Jerome K Jerome remarks in his comic masterpiece Three Men in a Boat. "I could watch it for hours." (http://www.the-chiefexecutive.com/features/feature259/)
When I was a kid we travelled from Tucson, Arizona to San Francisco, California for a summer vacation. We stopped in a curio store and I saw a sign that made me laugh … Work Smarder Not Harder.
Paradoxically, perhaps, that silly sign is à propos to our contemporary world of the Internet. Everything, it seems, is on the Net. So when you want online research, why not just jump on the Web and Google® it yourself?
There are many sophisticated answers to the question … but the simplest and most important is that by delegating the online research, you save precious time which you can devote to your specialized laboratory research.
Online searchers are no smarter than you are … in fact, when it comes to your specialty, we are no smarter than a fifth grader. But if you take the time to provide us significant keywords and concepts important to your topic, we can use our own expertise in sources and search techniques to provide you the results you need in a fraction of the time it would take you to come up with anything similar. Guaranteed.
And if the results still fall short of your expectations, be patient. Let us know we have missed the mark. Nudge us toward the target. We will recalibrate and try again.
Engage in this process often enough, and you and your librarian / information professional will develop a team approach to future research that will increase in effectiveness with each pass.
