Abstract Molecular diffusion of gases in heavy oils is one of the most important physical parameter governing cold production processes such as solution gas drive or Vapex. Indeed, the way bubbles are able to grow by diffusion will have a direct impact on gas mobilization and consequently on oil recovery.

Rheology of Heavy Oil Emulsions
Proceedings of SPE/PS-CIM/CHOA International Thermal Operations and Heavy Oil Symposium, 2005Abstract Water is invariably produced with crude oil. If there is enough shear force when crude oil and produced water flow through the production path, stable emulsions may be formed. This scenario may particularly be present during the production of heavy oils where steam is used to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil or in cases where ...

Rheological Properties of Heavy Oils and Heavy Oil Emulsions
Energy Sources, 1996In this study, we investigated the effects of a number of process variables such as shear rate, measurement temperature, pressure, the influence of pretreatment, and the role of various amounts of added water on the rheology of the resulting heavy oil or the emulsion.

In Situ Upgrading of Heavy Oil in a Solvent-Based Heavy Oil Recovery Process
Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 2005Abstract In this paper, a series of laboratory experiments are conducted under reservoir conditions to quantify the in situ upgrading of heavy oil due to the solvent dissolution and asphaltene precipitation by using a pure solvent (propane) and a solvent mixture (70 mol% methane + 25 mol% propane + 3.5 mol% n-butane
