In the evolving landscape of energy production, the industry is under increasing pressure to operate more efficiently, more sustainably, and with less impact. 

That’s where THOR comes in. 

Developed by Cavitas, THOR (Thermal Heavy Oil Recovery) is not just a tool — it’s a response to some of the most pressing challenges in heavy oil recovery today. 

 

Operational

Steam-based and chemical EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) solutions require extensive planning, logistics, and ongoing maintenance. For many operators, that means delays and high costs. 

THOR is deployed in a single run. 

Small surface setup. Minimal intervention. Faster results. 

THOR integrates seamlessly with existing wells, offering operators a simple solution to stimulate production in underperforming or shut-in wells. 

 

Environmental

Traditional thermal recovery methods, like steam injection, come with a heavy footprint. They rely on large volumes of water, high energy demands, and complex surface infrastructure. 

THOR eliminates the need for steam.

By applying electromagnetic heat directly within the wellbore, THOR reduces surface emissions, supports lower-carbon operations, and aligns with global efforts to decarbonise oil production. 

 

Economic 

With fluctuating oil prices and tightening margins, heavy oil fields are often considered uneconomic – even though vast reserves remain untapped. 

THOR unlocks potential in assets previously deemed unviable. 
It improves production rates, reduces downtime, and extends field life.

 

 

The Future is Smarter 

As we move toward a lower-carbon future, smarter solutions like THOR will play a vital role in balancing energy demand with sustainability. At Cavitas, we believe technology should enable access to resources without compromising the planet, operations or profitability. 

That’s why THOR matters.
