Chemical EOR Evaluation

SRC provides initial screening and feasibility studies to determine if chemical flooding techniques are suitable for your reservoir and if so, which techniques are appropriate.

CO2 EOR Evaluation

SRC offers oil companies fast, cost-effective preliminary assessments of the CO2 flooding potential for their reservoirs. Our expertise in CO2 and chemical EOR evaluation packages for oil industry clients is internationally recognized.

Numerical Modelling

Offering numerical modelling of thermal-solvent vapour extraction (TSVX) processes, SRC provides estimates for expected field oil production rates and recoveries for a particular set of reservoir conditions and solvent/steam injection rates and scenarios.

How the SLOWPOKE-2 reactor paved the way for nuclear research in Canada

SRC’s SLOWPOKE reactor was commissioned in March 1981. The reactor immediately proved to be a great resource for the uranium industry as it provided a rapid method to analyze the thousands of exploration samples that the industry was then producing. Learn more.

SLOWPOKE-2 Research Reactor A Valuable Industry Tool

SRC is home to one of five SLOWPOKE-2 low-power research reactors in the world. SLOWPOKE-2 is used primarily as an analytical tool for commercial analysis and research. Read on to find out what makes this reactor different than other power reactors.

Meet Our Experts: Dexu Kong on Sustainable Precious Metal Recovery

Mining practices have evolved with the advent of innovative technologies and new applications. SRC research scientist Dexu Kong, and collaborators from the University of Saskatchewan, researched a new way of recovering gold from secondary sources. Learn more about what they found.

Accelerated Site Closure Program a Huge Success

Over 8,800 inactive oil and gas wells and facilities in Saskatchewan were capped or closed under the Accelerated Site Closure Program. The program was announced in 2020 and provided $400 million directly to Saskatchewan-based oil and gas service companies.
