“…The selection of silicones and other specialty fluids is not easy for most applications (Arslan et al, 2021). In general, the main components of a thermal oil system include a furnace where fuel is burned, a heat exchanger for transferring heat, a vent, an expansion tank, and pumps (Tayakkoli Osgouei et al, 2018). Liquid oxidation can be avoided by coating an inner gas like nitrogen in expansion tanks, and vents to the outside are also used in some cases.…”

Countries worldwide are recently interested in economic efficiency in line with protecting environmental protection. Generally, optimization of cetane number, expanding fuel sources, and producing clean fuels with less pollution at the development trend in diesel fuel. Faced with that situation, global energy security is one of the top goals worldwide that can be ensured by diversifying energy resources parallel with minimizing fossil energy dependence. Among solutions, biofuel in internal combustion engines is a potential approach that receives great attention from global researchers. Among biofuel sources, vegetable oil or animal fat can be employed directly on compression-ignition internal combustion engines. This study presents a method to design and manufacture a system that utilizes exhaust heat with integrated electrical energy to heat vegetable oil for direct use in diesel engines.

“…With the addition of NiSO4, the average molecular weight of the reaction products and the contents of resin and asphalt formation are further reduced, saturated and aromatic; with a further increase in the content of hydrocarbons, the viscosity is significantly reduced, with a recovery factor of up to 84.39% [41]. In the work performed by Tavakkoli et al [37], the effect of carbonate and sandstone rock, temperature and clay and non-clay minerals was evaluated during the steam distillation of Chamurlu and Bati Raman heavy oil samples. The density and viscosity of the remaining oil were measured, and SARA analysis was performed.…”

“…The roles of various clay and non-clay minerals present in the steam distillation process in reservoir formation have been studied by Tavakkoli et al [37]. Two heavy oil samples mixed with water and crushed rock mixed with different clay minerals were kept under steam pressure at 150, 200 and 250 • C in a batch autoclave reactor for 40 h. The obtained results were compared with respect to the changes in the density, viscosity and chemical composition of the remaining heavy oil.…”

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’ development via thermally enhanced oil recovery. It is common knowledge that the host rock has a catalytic effect on the ongoing processes. In addition, oil transformation is mostly associated with destructive processes of resins and asphaltenes molecules. As a result, this would provide an increase in oil mobility as a result of kerogen destruction in shale oil. This ensures the formation of synthetic oil and an increase in the filtration characteristics of the rock. Besides, iron-containing compounds in the composition of the rock are catalytically active in the above processes. Moreover, clay minerals have high catalytic activity for many reactions of organic matter transformation. This review considers publications that study the role played by the rock and its individual components in the processes of in situ upgrading of heavy and shale oil.

“…Along the same lines, Tavakkoli and Parlaktuna investigated the role of clay and nonclay minerals present in a formation during a steam injection process. High proportions of thermal distillation of crude light fractions were evidenced in higher proportion in siltstones because of their abundance in kaolinite with a higher surface area.…”

Effect of Mineralogy on the Physicochemical Properties of a Heavy Crude Oil in Hybrid Steam Injection Technologies Using 1H NMR

The present study focused on the experimental evaluation of the effect of mineralogy in oil upgrading under two hybrid steam injection technologies. The tests were carried out in a batch reactor, using iron naphthenate as the catalyst and flue gas. The physical changes of the crude were evaluated by density and viscosity measurements, while the variations of the crude molecular structure were quantified using nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The results showed that for the technique with catalyst, the scenario with the highest proportion of clay increased the API gravity by 27% and reduced the crude viscosity by 39%. The additional upgrading was the result of mineral presence with a contribution of 13% due to H2 production and the inhibition of polymerization. Additionally, the presence of the mineral phase with flue gas in the system reverses some of the subprocesses of the aquathermolysis reactions that favor the improvement of the crude. For this hybrid technique, the best scenario was achieved in the absence of the mineral phase with an increase of 10% in API gravity and a reduction of 41% in viscosity concerning the base crude as a product of the flue gas mechanisms. The changes in the physical properties can be correlated with the modifications in the chemical structure of the crude oil. These changes were a result of dealkylation, hydrogenation, and condensation reactions, evidenced by the variation of average molecular parameters, obtained by 1H NMR, such as the aromaticity factor and the number of substituted rings.
