EXTRA HEAVY CRUDE OIL AND HEAVY CRUDE OIL UPGRADE
Extra Heavy Crude Oils and Heavy crude Oils have two principal disadvantages for their commercialization:
1 / Very low volume of light fractions which translates into a low market price
2 / High viscosities and pour point which makes transport to treatment centers and refiners very costly
Market prices of crude oils are specifically as follows:
Extra Heavy crude oils having a viscosity of 1200 CST
40% market price
Heavy crude oils having a viscosity of 300 CST
90% market price
Light Crude oils having a viscosity of 30 CST
100% market price
Current upgrading methods are:
1 / Heating the oil to facilitate transport
2 / Adding diluents (s) such as naphtha, fuel oil, light crude oil etc.
PTS system resolves those problems economically by:
1 / reducing viscosity which allows easier transportation
2 / minimizing the volume of costly diluents
3 / upgrading the heavy crude oil to higher value oil
