20160108324 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A PIPELINEABLE HYDROCARBON MIXTURE - The present invention provides a method for preparing a pipelineable hydrocarbon mixture from a crude heavy hydrocarbon mixture comprising: —visbreaking said crude heavy hydrocarbon mixture at a temperature of 350 to 440° C. and a pressure of 20 to 150 bar for 0.5 to 15 minutes to produce a visbroken hydrocarbon mixture; and —mixing said visbroken hydrocarbon mixture with a diluent to produce said pipelineable hydrocarbon mixture. | 04-21-2016 |
20150192007 | SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF RECOVERING AND PROCESSING A HYDROCARBON MIXTURE FROM A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION - The present invention relates to a method and system for recovering and processing a hydrocarbon mixture from a subterranean formation. The method comprises: (i) mobilising said hydrocarbon mixture; (ii) recovering said mobilised hydrocarbon mixture; (iii) deasphalting said recovered hydrocarbon mixture to produce deasphalted hydrocarbon and asphaltenes; (iv) gasifying said asphaltenes in a gasifier to generate hydrogen, steam and/or energy and CO | 07-09-2015 |
20150159092 | METHOD AND A SYSTEM OF RECOVERING AND PROCESSING A HYDROCARBON MIXTURE FROM A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION - The present invention relates to a method and system for recovering and processing a hydrocarbon mixture from a subterranean formation. The method comprises: (i) mobilising said hydrocarbon mixture; (ii) recovering said mobilised hydrocarbon mixture; (iii) coking said recovered hydrocarbon mixture to produce decoked hydrocarbon and coke; (iv) combusting said coke to generate steam and/or energy and CO | 06-11-2015 |
20140076554 | METHOD FOR IMPROVED GRAVITY DRAINAGE IN A HYDROCARBON FORMATION - The invention relates to a method for improved gravity drainage in a hydrocarbon formation, the method comprising: drilling a production well along a substantially horizontal production layer of a reservoir; drilling a perforation well above the production well, either in the production layer or in a layer separated from the production layer by a fluid barrier; perforating the formation adjacent the perforation well to provide a fluid flow path to or within the production layer; inducing gravity drainage through the fluid flow path; and producing fluids collected in the production well. | 03-20-2014 |
