Abstract: The effectiveness of a novel catalytic heavy oil in situ upgrading technology (ISUT) in fractured carbonate reservoirs with varying rock properties was investigated in the present study carried out with Mexican heavy crudes. The tests conducted in batch (300 °C under 1000 psig H 2 for 48 and 96 h) and continuous operation modes (360 °C, 36 h residence time, and 1450 psig pressure) were utilized to achieve up to ∼30 wt % vacuum residue (VR) conversion and up to 65 wt % recovery. By dispersing hydroprocessing ca… Show more
