... Abstract The idea of gasifying (reforming) a fraction of a light crude oil in the reservoir, was conceived originally by Davidson and Yule. This involved ‘stringing’ a series of downhole gasification (DHG) units, along either a horizontal producer well or vertical producer well, or other...

... Abstract In this paper the effects of some metallic oxides used to upgrade the properties of heavy crude oil are discussed. The underlying objective is to increase the mobility of the oil in the reservoir by reducing viscosity and improving the oil quality (e.g. by diminishing the asphaltene...

... composition are determined and the effect of natural and technological factors is estimated. Introduction Properties of a crude oil are strongly affected by the amount of asphaltenes as well as by the composition and the structure of asphaltenes. Asphaltenes are a fraction of crude oil which is highly...
