Abstract
The vapour extraction (VAPEX) process is a promising technique to extract heavy oil and bitumen while minimising environmental pollution and capital costs compared to conventional thermal processes. This paper comprehensively reviews the literature on the vapour extraction process to elucidate why VAPEX is not yet operational at the field scale. It was found that unfeasibility of the VAPEX process is mainly attributed to operational issues. A sufficient number of parameters that are associated with these two issues and affect the VAPEX process are evaluated in this paper
