“…Electrical heating techniques are utilized to improve heavy oil recovery, which is approximately 70% of total reserves in the world (Mozafari and Nasri, 2017). These methods increase the oil temperature by exciting the hydrocarbon molecules through electromagnetic heating and ultrasonic stimulations, causing a reduction in viscosity (Shafiai, 2020).…”

“…Recently, microwave irradiation has been used in the petroleum industry, which is applied for bitumen and heavy oil. One of the advantages of the microwave study can be reducing viscosity (more than 96%), the reaction time is shorter (less than 60 minutes) which the temperature tends to 150 °C [4].…”

“…Hence, the light oil which easy to be produced has been already extracted [1]- [3]. Heavy oil reserve is 70% of total world oil reserves [4], but the issue is faced with heavy oil reserve is a high viscosity and density due to higher asphalt and sulfur components than conventional oil [5]. Therefore, it becomes a challenge to produce crude oil from the reservoir both technically or economically [6].…”

This paper presents a review of the electrical heating method for heavy oil recovery based on past, current, and future prospects of electrical heating. Heavy oil is one of the potential crude oil used as a link to reduce the crisis of light oil used today. The obstacle of heavy oil is a high viscosity and density in which thermal injection is a method for heavy oil recovery, but it results in economic and environmental issues. Electrical heating is one of the thermal methods by transferring heat into the reservoir. The basic process of electrical heating is to increase the mobility of the oil. Because the temperature rises, it can reduce oil viscosity and makes it easier for heavy oil to flow. The past and current developments have been carried out to fill up the gap of electrical heating projects. The future prospects must meet energy efficiency, and the excessive heat will damage formation that must be tackled in the future prospect. the works adopt several electrical heating projects and applications in the world where the works give a brief future prospect of electrical heating.

“…Unfortunately, HDS is costly since it requires industrial units operating at high temperatures (>300 °C), pressure (3-10 MPa), and volume of hydrogen gas, with expensive catalysts and low energy efficiency (Kaisy, et al, 2016;Jiang et al, 2016;Zaid et al, 2017). Many of these limitations could be solved by developing desulfurization methods involving adsorption (Shah et al, 2016;Mirshra et al, 2017), oxidative desulphurization (Rezvani et al, 2017;Hitam et al, 2018), bio-desulfurization (Martínez et al, 2017;Paixão et al, 2016), microwave assisted desulphurization, ultrasound (Taheri-Shakib et al, 2017;Mozafari and Nasri, 2017), and extractive desulphurization (Safa et al, 2016;Elwan et al, 2017).…”

Extractive desulfurization with ionic liquids has attracted significant attention from a growing number of scientists due to the current environmental restrictions on fuel. Protic ionic liquids (PILs) were synthesized via equimolar neutralization of morpholine and formic-based compounds. The obtained PILs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and used as a promoter for the room temperature deep desulfurization of model oil and commercial B0S500 diesel. Extractive desulfurization of the model oil in n-octane showed that the alkyl chain length of the ionic liquid [Nmorph] + [HCOO]does not enhance the efficiency of dibenzothiophene (DBT) removal. Regardless, the [Morph] + [HCOO]-IL is the most promising candidate for extractive desulfurization. The best results were obtained using multistage extraction (n = 3) and a 1:1 volume ratio, resulting in a 99.44% removal rate of sulfur compounds. For commercial B0S500 diesel, extraction time significantly influenced the removal of sulfur species. For samples with multistage extraction and a 1:1 volume ratio, [Morph] + [HCOO]removed approximately 47.48% of the sulfur-containing compounds. The recycling study of [Morph] + [HCOO]suggests that the IL remains active for up to three operating cycles without losing efficiency.
