... with extensive flaring of natural gas and very heavy crude oils. Heavy oils require large energy inputs (e.g. steam flooding) and/or the use of light hydrocarbon diluents for transportation offset. OPGEE can be used to evaluate the CI impacts of public policy actions. While both NA unconventional and LAR crudes...

...%) and illite (10 wt%) (SAGD2). Change in clay type from kaolinite to a mixture of kaolinite and illite resulted in 15 wt% lower cumulative oil recovery. The role of clays and their interaction with crude oil fractions; namely Saturates, Aromatics, Resins and Asphaltenes (SARA fractions), on process performance...

... Abstract As fields become mature and more laboratory data is available from specific geographical locations, it is possible to characterize, classify crude oils and develop or modify published correlations to better predict oil PVT properties. This paper shows the results from the attempt...

... for the streams treatment during enhanced heavy oil recovery (steam injection). Sorption of the H 2 S present in oil phases finds application for mitigating H 2 S forming during this process. In this study, our heavy crude oil whose viscosity is 10500 mPa.s, was obtained from a reservoir block of the Faja...

... Abstract Asphaltene self-association and precipitation are unfavorable processes that can occur during production, transportation, and storage of crude oils. The primary mechanisms of asphaltene self-association are dispersion interactions, electrostatics interactions, hydrogen bonding...

... investigating the role of pressure and temperature on asphaltenes stability, the role of reservoir components on asphaltenes stability still remains unknown. Hence, this study investigates the effect of reservoir rock-asphaltenes interaction on asphaltenes stability. 11 different crude oil samples from all...

... the ISC fate. In this study, we investigate the catalytic effect of clay on different crude oil types. Six one-dimensional combustion tube experiments were conducted on three different crude oil samples; one from Mexico and two from Alberta, Canada. The combustion behavior of each crude oil sample...

... precipitation mechanism requires more clarity. This work investigates the effect of compositional changes on asphaltene stability. The impact of oil composition is explained by preparing pseudo-components by blending the crude oil with their own saturate fractions. A systematic characterization of 11 different...

The theoretical analysis of this behavior was developed by the application of a mathematical model using iterative calculations based on heat transfer theory...

... The continuous decline in Trinidad and Tobago's crude oil production has accelerated the drive to boost oil production from unconventional sources. One such source is a tar sands deposit with estimates of original volume in-place between 400 million and 2,000 million barrels of bitumen. To corroborate...

... passing through the pump is accomplished at lower flow rates than the terminal rising velocity of the gas bubbles released from the crude oil, which given their size have been released towards the top of the fluid stream through the slanted casing. If this effect is achieved by installing a gas separator...

Chichimene field produces a medium crude oil (approximately 20 API) from cretaceous structures named K1 and K2, In 2.01 an extra heavy crude oil (range between 7...

.... pressure, thermo dynamical model output: As seen on fig 9 , the program predicts higher precipitation at a given pressure for later times which is consistent with the compositional changes that re-injected gas generates on the crude oil.
