“…A response surface was obtained to represent the experimental data statistically using OriginPro 17 software. Response surface methodology (RSM) is one of the most widely used multivariate techniques to optimize processes (Nasri & Mozafari, 2018;Ronix et al, 2017). Based on the adaptation of a polynomial model to the experimental data, it is possible to predict the responses for all possible combinations of factors within a chosen experimental group (Bezerra et al, 2008), thereby determining a regression model to optimize an output variable, which is influenced by independent variables (Behera et al, 2018).…”

“…At present, many countries and oil companies are carrying out relevant research and experiments. However, due to the small dielectric constant of heavy oil, the penetration depth of microwave in heavy oil reservoirs is limited, which affects the viscosity reduction effect [126][127][128][129]. Because of its high conductivity, thermal conductivity and aspect ratio, the two-dimensional sheet-like graphene could generate a strong electrical losses to microwaves.…”

Graphene and its derivatives, with their unique two-dimensional structures and excellent physical and chemical properties, have been an international research hotspot both in the research community and industry. However, in application-oriented research in the oil and gas industry they have only drawn attention in the past several years. Their excellent optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical performance make them great candidates for use in oil and gas exploration, drilling, production, and transportation. Combined with the actual requirements for well working fluids, chemical enhanced oil recovery, heavy oil recovery, profile control and water shutoff, tracers, oily wastewater treatment, pipeline corrosion prevention treatment, and tools and apparatus, etc., this paper introduces the behavior in water and toxicity to organisms of graphene and its derivatives in detail, and comprehensively reviews the research progress of graphene materials in the upstream oil and gas industry. Based on this, suggestions were put forward for the future research. This work is useful to the in-depth mechanism research and application scope broadening research in the upstream oil and gas industry.

“…Microwave is transmitted through a unit called a waveguide, located on the surface. Waves that move from the waveguide will be emitted from the subsurface antenna to the source of the well (Bjorndalen & Islam, 2004;Dandjouma et al, 2006;Nasri & Mozafari, 2018;Taheri-Shakib et al, 2018a). The antenna is placed at the waterhydrocarbon interface, and the source well is surrounded by production wells (Demiral et al, 2008;Taheri-Shakib et al, 2017b).…”

This paper presents a review of electrical heating for the recovery of heavy oil which the work adopts methods used in the past and the prospects for crude oil recovery in the future. Heavy oil is one of the crude oils with API more than 22 which has the potential to overcome the current light oil crisis. However, high viscosity and density are challenges in heavy oil recovery. The method is often used to overcome these challenges by using thermal injection methods, but this method results in economic and environmental issues. The electrical heating method could be a solution to replace conventional thermal methods in which the methodology of electrical heating is to transfer heat into the reservoir due to increasing oil mobility. Because the temperature rises, it could help to reduce oil viscosity, then heavy oil will flow easily. The applications of electrical heating have been adopted in this paper where the prospects of electrical heating are carried out to be useful as guidelines of electrical heating. The challenge of electrical heating is the excessive heat will damage the formation that must be addressed in the prospect of electrical heating which must meet energy efficiency. The use of Artificial intelligence becomes a new technology to overcome problems that are often found in conventional thermal methods where this method could avoid steam breakthrough and excessive heat. Therefore, it becomes more efficient and could reduce costs.
