Abstract

The existing problems of production, collection and preparation of high-viscosity oils need to be solved by further research and search for effective technologies. The oil of the Kokhanivske field is unique among the fields of Prykarpattia region, which is characterized by a high density of ≈1000 kg/m3, a significant content of asphaltenes, resins up to (45–60% by weight) and sulphur (7%), which is most suitable for the production of the highest quality bitumen. According to the physico-chemical characteristics and composition of the oil of the Kokhanivske field, an analysis of the conformity of this oil to the bituminous group according to the international classification was carried out. It is emphasized that this oil can be an analogue of the raw material from which high-quality bitumen of the Swedish company Nynas are produced. In connection with the above-mentioned physical and chemical properties of the oil from the Kokhanivske field (high density, viscosity asphaltene and resin content, etc.), significant complications arise during its collection and preparation. In order to solve the problem of preparing this type of oil, a technological solution for its preparation with a wave field of different intensity is proposed. In accordance with this technological solution, a laboratory setup was developed to study the effect of a wave field of different intensity on high-viscosity oil of the Kokhanivske field based on the Yutkin effect.
