“…Because the main essence of upgrading is to increase sulphur-free, nitrogen-free and metal-free distillates, as well as H/C ratio which typically stands at 1.5 [66], typical surface-based approaches for heavy oil upgrading involve carbon rejection (such as coking, thermal cracking, visbreaking), hydrogen addition (with slurry, fixed-bed, moving-bed, ebullated reactor), or their combination [5,67]. The traditional thermal conversion of heavy oil involves either pyrolysis, cracking (which may be catalytic or thermal-only), or hydrocracking to yield valuable distillates components [68]. The key reactions in upgrading have been detailed previously [6,69].…”

Crude oil deposits as light/heavy form all over the world. With the continued depletion of the conventional crude and reserves trending heavier, the interest to maximise heavy oil recovery continues to emerge in importance. Ordinarily, the traditional oil recovery stages leave behind a large amount of heavy oil trapped in porous reservoir structure, making the imperative of additional or enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. Besides, the integration of downhole in-situ upgrading along with oil recovery techniques not only improves the efficiency of production but also the quality of the produced oil, avoiding several surface handling costs and processing challenges. In this review, we present an outline of chemical agents underpinning these enabling technologies with a focus on the current approaches, new formulations and future directions.

“…In general, the use of FAME biodiesel results in less soot, but higher NOx emissions, while the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is higher due to its lower energy content [1,2]. The major disadvantages of FAME compared to conventional diesel fuel are its lower energy content, high price, the tendency to form internal injector deposits, higher viscosity, higher cloud and pour point and higher nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions [3,4]. Further, the oxygen content of FAME raises concerns in terms of maintaining the fuel quality during long term storage and oxidation stability [5,6].…”
