Research on liquid-phase catalytic thermolysis of high-viscosity oil samples being stimulated by microwave radiation in dynamic mode (in the order of discussion)

Abstract

A significant part of Azerbaijan’s oil reserves are fields of high high-viscosity oil, being at younger stage of development, in conditions of low permeable reservoirs. Technogenic complications arising from the exploitation of such fields, create new requirements for oil production technologies, capable to increase the oil recovery of the already existing layers. This paper presents the results of a study of liquid-phase catalytic thermolysis stimulated by microwave radiation of samples of high-viscosity oil from the Balakhani-Sabunchu-Ramany (VI and XI horizons) and Kyurovdag fields, characterized by averaged values of density, respectively, 885 kg/m3, 908 kg/m3 and 923 kg/m3 at 20 oC. In dynamic mode in the presence of synthesized heterogeneous catalysts that intensively absorb the energy of the microwave electromagnetic field.
