To address the high CO2 emissions during heavy oil development in Canada′s Surmont Block, this study establishes a multiphase compositional thermal coupling model and proposes a method for in-situ CO2 utilization and storage in post-heavy-oil reservoir development. Numerical simulations were employed to systematically evaluate the production performance and storage potential of three technologies: SAGD, ES-SAGD, and VAPEX.The recovery rate of crude oil by ES-SAGD technology can reach 58%,carbon intensity is antrolled at 0.25, demonstrating dual advantages. VAPEX exhibits the lowest carbon intensity and the highest solvent recovery rate. This research establishes a synergistic pathway of "oil displacement - solvent recovery - carbon storage," providing theoretical and strategic support for constructing a low-carbon, high-efficiency, and sustainable development system in post-heavy-oil reservoir stages.
