Abstract
⺠We proposed a hybrid process of electrical heating and solvent injection to enhance heavy oil and bitumen production. ⺠The mechanisms of enhanced heavy oil recovery of this process are discussed through numerical simulation. ⺠Numerical simulation suggested that this process have much better performance than the solvent injection alone. ⺠This method is suitable for many oil reservoirs in western Canada.
