Laboratory Experiments on the In Situ Upgrading of Heavy Crude Oil Using Catalytic Aquathermolysis by Acidic Ionic Liquid

Heavy and extra heavy oil exploitation has attracted attention in the last few years because of the decline in the production of conventional crude oil. The high viscosity of heavy crude oil is the main challenge that obstructs its extraction. Consequently, catalytic aquathermolysis may be an effect...
