Abstract:The escalating share of hard-to-extract, highly viscous oil poses tangible challenges in the realm of oil extraction. Employing thermal steam treatment (TST) technology presents a promising approach, not only for viscosity reduction but also for comprehensive upgrading of extracted hydrocarbons within the reservoir itself. This study meticulously explores the impact of the TST duration, in tandem with organodispersed metallic sodium, on the upgrading of heavy oil sourced from the Ashalcha field.
