In-situ combustion has received much attention in the last few decades for enhanced heavy
oil recovery processes. Although a wide part of research efforts has only focused on the …

One of the main topics that generate the interest of experts nowadays involves the
processes of organic matter chemical transformation during heavy and shale oil reservoirs' …

The past decade has seen a renewed importance in developing heavy oil reserves due to
the rapid raise in energy resources' demand. The next decade is likely to witness a …

There is still considerable controversy surrounding the mechanisms, thermodynamics, and
kinetics of heavy oil aquathermolysis and pyrolysis processes. The present paper aims to …

Our knowledge of electromagnetic heating's effect on heavy oil upgrading is largely based
on very limited data. The aim of the present research was thus to study in detail the effect of …

Nowadays, there is a significant increase in the share of unconventional oil reserves such as
heavy and extra-heavy oils as well as natural bitumen among the total balance of extracted …

The present paper reports experiments on microwave heating of a carbonate oil-containing
rock sample in the presence and absence of an iron-magnetite-based nanocatalyst. It has …

In the present work, the catalytic aquathermolysis of Mackay River bitumen with 12 Mo-
based catalysts were investigated. Thereinto, 6 catalysts were commercially available …

Asphaltenes is the most complex components in the slurry-bed hydrocracking reaction
system, and affects the coke formations significantly. In order to studied the influences of …

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 …
