Scientists have revealed the synergistic effect of nickel stearate and decalin on the kinetics of processes occurring during heavy oil production

Aquathermolysis catalysts and solvents that can produce hydrogen at elevated temperatures are promising agents for improving the efficiency of oil production using water vapor injection technologies. The aquathermolysis process can reduce the viscosity of heavy crude oil and its sulfur content. In recent years, it has been used for industrial purposes to extract and partially refine...

Kinetic aquathermolysis tested on Boca de Jaruco oil samples

To scale, design and optimize oil production, scientists from Kazan Federal University together with Zarubezhneft were the first to develop a kinetic model of catalytic aquathermolysis using a water-soluble nickel-based catalyst. The water-soluble catalysts demonstrate efficiency in reducing the viscosity of bituminous oil and can be used in the field with lower costs. Their application allows...

Research shows acetic acid salts simplify the production of heavy oil

Picture URL: https://pubs.acs.org/cms/10.1021/acs.iecr.3c04335/asset/images/medium/ie3c04335_0016.gif KFU's project is supported by the Russian Science Foundation. According to the official website of the Russian Science Foundation, Kazanian scientists managed to find out that acetates - salts of acetic acid with transition metals - in combination with steam treatment reduce the viscosity of heavy oil by 58%. This approach was 19% more...
