About the Course
World proven reserves for heavy oils are several times higher than conventional oils and with decline in production of light oils in many fields, demand on heavy oil production and processing is on the rise. This is a 75 minute webinar for those involved in heavy oil (and extra heavy oil) processing and recovery, transportation and product quality control. We will briefly review properties, specifications and related characterization techniques for heavy oils which are needed for process design and unit operation in both processing and production sectors.
What You Will Learn
The following topics will be discussed:
- World status of heavy oil industry and developments
- Definition and Classifications
- Chemistry and Nature of Heavy Oil, Extra Heavy Oil and Bitumen
- Compositional analysis and heteroatoms in various types of heavy oils
- Laboratory data on heavy oils and their uses
- Importance of characterization methods
- Physical and transport properties
- Properties and types of asphaltene, wax and resins in crude oils
- Phase behavior of waxy and asphaltenic oils
- Onset of asphaltene formation and precipitation
- Use of speed of sound in property estimation of complex mixtures
- Gas solubility in heavy oil, prediction and measurement
- Some guidelines for selection of thermodynamic models for heavy oil properties
