Abstract


Suggestive production of heavy oil (HO) and extra heavy oil (EHO) has considered oil from average gravity of 9 American Petroleum Institute (API) and viscosities between 2500 and 4000 centipoises (cp) at reservoir conditions of 56°C and 1250 pounds per square inches (psi). First processes have subjected artificial lift wells to produce EHO and HO at ground oil fields from aids of progressive cavity pumps (PCP) and electro submersible pumps (ESP). Fluid viscosity has affected the increase in power consumption of ESP motor, decrease in efficiency of technique, increase in energy consumption, and longer stabilization time of PCP systems compared with ESP equipment. Therefore, development of cost-efficient techniques for heavy crude oil recovery has been studied in terms of improved oil recovery (IOR) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods i.e., increase in oil production and reserves. IOR strategies have been used to recover mobile crude oil, whereas EOR methods have been employed to recover mostly immobile crude oil, which has remained in reservoirs after application of primary and secondary methods. EOR has schemed by injection of either chemical or gas or additives. Common chemical injection methods have been adoptive to surfactant, polymer, and solvents. Although, efficiency of the chemical injection has been affected mainly by adsorption and/or degradation in porous medium, thus has reduced cost/benefit ratio. Therefore, these processes have been often not suitable for immobile heavy and extra-heavy crude oil and oil sands.
