Abstract

A mining machine and method of mining hydrocarbon containing minerals, such as oil sands. The machine includes a tunnelling head (701) and a separation device (711) inside, which rotates with the tunnelling head.

Claims (31)

1. A method of excavating and processing hydrocarbon-containing materials, comprising:
excavating the hydrocarbon-containing materials with a rotating cutter head to form excavated hydrocarbon-containing materials; and separating a hydrocarbon-containing component from the excavated hydrocarbon-containing materials in an enclosed vessel, wherein at least part of the enclosed vessel is operatively engaged with the cutter head, whereby the at least part of the enclosed vessel rotates in response to rotation of the cutter head.
2. The method of Claim l, wherein the hydrocarbon-containing materials comprise oil sands.
3. The method of Claim 1, wherein the hydrocarbon-containing component is bitumen.
4. The method of Claim 1, wherein the at least part of the enclosed vessel is one or more of a paddle, baffle, a blade, a raised surface of the cutter head, and a ridge on a surface of the enclosed vessel.
5. The method of Claim 1, wherein the at least part of the enclosed vessel is a surface of the vessel.
6. The method of Claim 1, wherein the at least part of the enclosed vessel rotates at the same speed of the cutter head.
7. The method of Claim 1, wherein a gear causes the at least part of the enclosed vessel to rotate at a speed different than the cutter head.
8. The method of Claim 5, wherein the at least part comprises an end and sidewall of the vessel.
9. The method of Claim 1, further comprises:
operatively disengaging the at least part of the enclosed vessel from the cutter head, whereby the enclosed vessel does not rotate in response to rotation of the cutter head.
10. The method of Claim 9, wherein, during the operatively disengaging step, the enclosed vessel remains stationary while the cutter head rotates.
11. The method of Claim 1, wherein the cutter head is mounted on a tunnel boring machine.
12. The method of Claim 11, wherein the tunnel boring machine is located in an underground excavation.
13. The method of Claim 3, wherein a pressure inside the enclosed vessel is superatmospheric.
14. The method of Claim 12, wherein a pressure inside the enclosed vessel is at or near a formation pressure within of an adjacent formation.
15. The method of Claim 1, wherein the excavating step comprises:
passing the excavated hydrocarbon-containing materials through one or more openings in the cutter head and into the enclosed vessel.
16. The method of Claim 12, further comprising:
separating the hydrocarbon-containing component from a slurry in the enclosed vessel to form a waste material and the separated hydrocarbon-containing component;
hydrotransporting the hydrocarbon-containing component out of the underground excavation; and discharging the waste material behind the tunnel boring machine and in the underground excavation.
17. A system for excavating and processing hydrocarbon-containing materials, comprising:
rotatable cutter head means for excavating the hydrocarbon-containing materials to form excavated hydrocarbon-containing materials; and vessel means for separating a hydrocarbon-containing component from the excavated hydrocarbon-containing materials, wherein at least part of the vessel means is operatively engaged with the cutter head means, whereby the at least part of the enclosed vessel rotates in response to rotation of the cutter head means.
18. The system of Claim 17, wherein the hydrocarbon-containing materials comprise oil sands.
19. The system of Claim 17, wherein the hydrocarbon-containing component is bitumen.
20. The system of Claim 17, wherein the at least part of the vessel means is one or more of a paddle, a blade, a raised surface of the cutter head means, and a ridge on a surface of the vessel means.
21. The system of Claim 17, wherein the at least part of the vessel means is a surface of the vessel.
22. The system of Claim 17, wherein the at least part of the vessel means rotates at the same speed of the cutter head means.
23. The system of Claim 17, wherein a gear causes the at least part of the vessel means to rotate at a speed different than the cutter head means.
24. The system of Claim 21, wherein the at least part comprises an end and sidewall of the vessel means.
25. The system of Claim 17, further comprises:
means for operatively disengaging the at least part of the vessel means from the cutter head means, whereby the vessel means does not rotate in response to rotation of the cutter head means.
26. The system of Claim 25, wherein, during the operatively disengagement, the vessel means remains stationary while the cutter head means rotates.
27. The system of Claim 17, wherein the cutter head means is mounted on a tunnel boring machine.
28. A hydrocarbon extraction and excavation system, comprising:
a tunnel boring machine, comprising a cutter head;
a Counter Current De-Sanding (CCDS) drum in communication with input ports in the cutter head, at least one first input port operable to receive material excavated by the cutter head; and an excavated material transport system operable in communication with the at least one first input port and at least one second input port in the CCDS drum to transport material from the at least one first input port to the at least one second input port in the CCDS drum, wherein the CCDS drum and material transport system are contained inside of the tunnel boring machine.
29. The system of Claim 28, wherein the CCDS drum comprises a first outlet for a bitumen rich stream and a second output for waste material and wherein the tunnel boring machine comprises at least one discharge port positioned behind the machine to discharge at least most of the waste material outputted by the CCDS drum.
30. The system of Claim 28, further comprising:
a heat exchanger for heating water prior to input into the CCDS drum, wherein the heat exchanger is in thermal communication with at least one thermal generating component of the tunnel boring machine.
31. The system of Claim 28, wherein at least one common motor causes rotation of at least part of the CCDS drum and the cutter head.
