We
report the experimental data of ammonia solubility in Athabasca
bitumen measured at different temperatures and pressures ranging from
348 to 463 K and 1 to 4 MPa, respectively. The liquid-phase density
of ammonia-saturated bitumen was measured for the samples that were
taken during solubility measurements. The experimental data for ammonia
solubility in bitumen were modeled using the Peng–Robinson
equation of state. The volume-shift parameters of ammonia were tuned
to represent the experimental density data of ammonia-saturated bitumen
with an average absolute relative deviation percent (AARD%) of 0.218%.
Also, tuning the binary interaction coefficient between ammonia and
bitumen allowed the prediction of solubility data with an AARD of
8.537%. The data and the tuned model find applications in the reservoir
modeling of solvent-aided thermal recovery of bitumen and heavy oil.
