Estudio de la acuatermólisis catalítica en procesos de upgrading de crudos pesados como método complementario en el recobro térmico de hidrocarburos

Density and viscosity are the properties which differentiates light oil of the heavy and extra-heavy oil; heavy-extra-heavy oil contains more indefinite chemical elements such as resins and asphaltenes whose have more pures components (saturated and aromatics). In the steam injection, the viscosity...

description Density and viscosity are the properties which differentiates light oil of the heavy and extra-heavy oil; heavy-extra-heavy oil contains more indefinite chemical elements such as resins and asphaltenes whose have more pures components (saturated and aromatics). In the steam injection, the viscosity is reduced at 97%, in addition, the implementation of steam also changes the composition of the mixure due to chemical reactions between the water steam, organics petroleum compounds, minerals and catalysts, reaching a switch in the molecular structure of petroleum; this process is defined as catalytic aquatermolysis. The reactions of catalytic aquatermolysis are: pyrolysis, hydrolysis, Water Gas Shift, hydrodesulphurization (HDS), hydrodesnitrogenación (HDN) and hidrodeoxygenation (HDO). The use of metal catalysts and hydrogen donors have a synergistic effect, in addition, the compounds that react with water steam are resins and asphaltenes. On a macro scale, it is reduced by 90%. At the field scale, pilots were implemented in the Liaohe basin, China, where it was used as a complement to the cyclic steam injection technology, showing reductions in viscosity of 80% and relevant changes in the composition of the oil.
