... suitable well arrangement. We present results obtained using a small, ‘pilot-scale’ DHG unit, or reforming reactor, operated at up to 100 bar pressure. The feed to this unit was a light naphtha fraction, cut from Statfjord crude oil. The effect of pressure, catalyst loading, steam to hydrocarbon ratio...

.... There is essentially no net heat release into the reservoir, if efficient heat recovery is practiced. A series of high pressure, continuous flow experiments was performed in a small-scale gasifier unit, using n-pentane as feedstock, to represent the light naphtha fraction from a crude oil. The experiments were...
