Heavy oil

One of the most important mechanisms of foamy oil is the solvents’ non-equilibrium dissolution and exsolution behavior. Therefore, the real-time capturing of these dynamic properties is crucial in analyzing how foamy oil evolves under non-equilibrium state. In this research, var…

Experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of in situ upgrading of heavy oil by the use of an orgametallic catalyst and a hydrogen donor (tetralin). The experiments used a vertical injection cell into which a mixture of sand, water, and Jobo oil was thoroughly mix…
