Better catalysts for heavy oil extraction: The catalysts
Newly catalysts speed up heavy oil extraction under the conditions of in-situ combustion. Share: The catalysts speed up heavy oil extraction under the conditions of in-situ combustion. Projected heavy oil and viscous oil reserves in Russia are up to 40 -- 50 billion barrels and a significant portion of that volume lies within Tatarstan.
Oil in Somali Soil Somalia’s history of oil exploration dates back several decades. During colonialism, Italian and British geologists were the first to identify oil seeps. Starting in the early 1950s, Italy-based Agip (now Eni) and US-based Sinclair Oil Corporation began to study the petroleum geology of Somalia.
Extracting Somali oil: is the risk worth the reward?
“Analysis is suggesting offshore Somalia stands as a beacon on the East African margin, offering the potential for the next giant oil discoveries in the future,” says Dr Neil Hodgson, executive vice president of geoscience at Spectrum. Spectrum’s analysis came as a surprise to...

Except the heavy oil reserves from Africa, the rest of the heavy oil reserves have been characterized to contain high levels of sulfur. Desulfurization is therefore necessary in order to (i) meet the fuel specifications on sulfur content (e.g., 10 ppm limits on gasoline and diesel according to Euro 5 standards) and (ii) to protect catalysts from getting poisoned by sulfur.
The novel THAI–CAPRI technology and its
To exploit heavy oil reserves economically with less environmental impact, the toe-to-heel air injection and its add-on CAtalytic upgrading PRocess In-situ (THAI–CAPRI ™) process was developed for its recovery and upgrading in situ in the reservoir. This technology was propelled by several factors: producing oil of commercial value in situ that meets refinery feedstock specifications, the rising global demands for energy, the declining of conventional light oil reservoirs, increasing ...

Without the development of ultrastable and metal-tolerant catalysts, the annual catalyst consumption rate could double or triple when processing the heavier resids. The spent catalyst may eventually be classified as toxic waste because of its metal contaminants. Processing heavier feeds will also increase NO x and SO x emissions.

Hydrocracking is widely used in petroleum refining to convert heavy oil fractions (which may include residues) into lower molecular weight hydrocarbons through C-C bond breaking. Catalysts used for hydrocracking are bifunctional, as they comprise a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation function provided by metals, and an acidic function given by the support.

Heavy oil fractions that are easier to convert to lighter products can be recovered from vacuum residues by using UOP's Demex process to reject metals and asphaltenes. The demetallized oil (DMO) product from the Demex process can be processed in downstream catalytic units at less severe conditions and with much lower catalyst consumption than required for residues.
