“…% of acetone. These results are since acetone is a good solvent for glues, resins, petroleum fats, and aromatic characteristic that allows interferes in asphalting aggregation; a similar trend was noted by Azeez et al [10], and Majeed et al [11]. In viscosity reduction, the applied electric field is considered to be of high importance.…”

“…The relevant results are due to toluene's aromatic characteristic allowing interferes in asphalting aggregation. Majored et al [11] studied the processing of heavy Iraqi crude oil obtained from the East Baghdad field (22.2 API) and used many additives to reduce viscosity. Various additives' types have been utilized for reducing the viscosity; also, experiments are conducted on the heavy oil sample with the use of many solvents (n-Propanol, Ethanol, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)).…”

The process of transporting crude oil across pipelines is one of the most critical aspects of the midstream petroleum industry. In the present experimental work, the effect of temperature, pressure drop, and pipe diameter on the flow rate of heavy crude oil have been assessed. Moreover, the total discharge and energy losses have been evaluated in order to demonstrate the improvements potentially achievable by using solar heating method replacing pipe, and adjusting the value of the initial pressure difference. Crude oil of API = 20 has been used for the experiments, with the studied pipelines sections connecting the separator unit to the storage tank operating at a temperature of 25°C-100°C, pressure drop of 3, 4, 5, and 6 kg/cm 2 , and with pipe diameter of 4, 6, and 8 in. The results show that on increasing the temperature and/or the pressure drop, the flow rate through the pipeline becomes higher, thus raising the total pumping energy (as the pipe diameter increase), while energy losses increase from the last separator to the storage tank in the field. A pipe diameter increase can also produce a growth of the total pumping energy (i.e., energy losses increase). The results of the present analysis suggest that employing an optimal temperature (50°C) is needed to ensure good performance.

“…It is known that the high viscosity of heavy oil is a major factor that affects the upstream and downstream of oil recovery. Furthermore, due to the application of different additives, the viscosity of the heavy was reduced to a maximum of 3.78 cSt at 75 0 C and 26 API at 25 0 C [104]. In another study by Sherif Fakher and Abdulmohsin Imqam 2018, the reduction of heavy oil hydrocarbon utilizing a chemical solvent was studied.…”

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) refers to the various techniques used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field. These techniques are used after the primary and secondary recovery methods have been depleted. There are three main types of EOR: thermal, gas injection, and chemical. EOR techniques can be expensive and complex, but they can help to recover additional oil that would otherwise be left in the reservoir. EOR can also extend the life of an oil field and increase the overall production from a given field. The parameters affecting oil recovery are a major concern in EOR systems, and these parameters need more consideration with the factors affecting them. In this study, the influence of permeability variations on fluid flow in a sandstone reservoir was explored, as well as an up-to-date description of three states of EOR with thorough explanations of the methods utilized and the mechanisms driving their oil recovery application. The difficulties encountered in the use of the different standard EOR Mechanisms were noted, and solutions to these difficulties were proposed. Furthermore, the contemporary trend of adding nanotechnology and its synergistic effects on the stability and efficiency of traditional chemicals for EOR were examined and analysed. Finally, laboratory findings and field initiatives were discussed. The review went into detail about the transport of nanoparticles across reservoirs, as well as the evaluation of EOR, mobility ratio, and fluid displacement efficiency. This review provides thorough information on the uses of improved oil recovery mechanisms for sustainable energy production.
