Catalytic Hydrothermal Conversion of Heavy Oil in the Porous Media

Galina P. Kayukova et al.

Summary: The study reveals the specific features of Ashal'cha heavy oil conversion, where hydrothermal catalytic treatment significantly alters the composition, particularly in the presence of rock-forming additives. The catalyst metals, such as Fe, Co, and Cu, concentrate mainly on the asphaltene structures and rock-forming reservoir minerals.

Application of Aromatic and Industrial Solvents for Enhancing Heavy Oil Recovery from the Ashalcha Field

Irek I. Mukhamatdinov et al.

Summary: The study focused on the effect of various solvents on upgrading heavy oil, with results showing that benzene released the largest amount of gases and toluene had the best effect on reducing viscosity and resin content. Infrared spectral data confirmed that solvents can enhance energy efficiency in thermal steam exposure for heavy oil and natural bitumen deposits.

In-Situ Heavy Oil Aquathermolysis in the Presence of Nanodispersed Catalysts Based on Transition Metals

Firdavs A. Aliev et al.

Summary: Aquathermolysis process is a promising method for in-situ heavy oil upgrading, with metal ions speeding up reactions, and oil-soluble catalysts and reservoir rock minerals also playing a role. The process starts with breaking C-S bonds, leading to viscosity reduction and other key reactions.

Extra-Heavy Oil Aquathermolysis Using Nickel-Based Catalyst: Some Aspects of In-Situ Transformation of Catalyst Precursor

Alexey V. Vakhin et al.

Summary: The study investigated the catalytic performance of an oil-soluble nickel-based catalyst during aquathermolysis of oil-saturated crushed cores, revealing that the catalytic upgrading at 300 degrees C led to a decrease in resins and asphaltenes content, an increase in saturated hydrocarbon content, and a significant increase in low-molecular alkanes in the saturates fraction. The results suggest that nickel tallate is a promising catalyst for in-situ upgrading of extra-heavy oil during steam injection techniques.
