Electromagnetic impact on oil reservoir manifests itself in various physical and chemical
phenomena and attracts a significant scientific and technological interest. Microwave (MW) …

In-situ combustion has received much attention in the last few decades for enhanced heavy
oil recovery processes. Although a wide part of research efforts has only focused on the …

Air injection as a thermal method for heavy oil recovery has a long history of about a century.
However, it has not been widely applied in oilfields to date because of many challenges …

One of the main topics that generate the interest of experts nowadays involves the
processes of organic matter chemical transformation during heavy and shale oil reservoirs' …

There is still considerable controversy surrounding the mechanisms, thermodynamics, and
kinetics of heavy oil aquathermolysis and pyrolysis processes. The present paper aims to …

Oil oxidation reactions have attracted considerable interest in terms of mechanism
comprehension for thermally enhanced oil recovery applications. Many hypotheses …

Our knowledge of electromagnetic heating's effect on heavy oil upgrading is largely based
on very limited data. The aim of the present research was thus to study in detail the effect of …

In recent years, protection of the environment from activities associated with enhanced oil
recovery has been considered a crucial priority for decision-makers in the international …

After a cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) process achieved accidental success in recovering
heavy oil resources in the 1960s, thermal recovery processes started to unlock the door of in …

The present paper reports experiments on microwave heating of a carbonate oil-containing
rock sample in the presence and absence of an iron-magnetite-based nanocatalyst. It has …
