Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON FROM HIGH VISCOSITY HEAVY OIL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/139148
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This method for producing a hydrocarbon comprises: a step for sending water vapor and a low boiling point hydrocarbon into a subterranean oil sand layer (O); a step for recovering a first mixture, in which water vapor (water), the low boiling point hydrocarbon, a heavy oil and water are mixed, from the oil sand layer (O); a step for reforming the heavy oil in the first mixture using a supercritical reformer (40); a step for separating the low boiling point hydrocarbon from a second mixture, which is obtained by the supercritical reformer (40) and is composed of a reformed oil and water; and a step for returning at least some of the low boiling point hydrocarbon, which is separated from the second mixture, to the oil sand layer (O).
