One of Sudanese fields has a heavy crude oil which has a high Total Acid Number (TAN) and high viscosity, can cause a lot of problems in production operation, transport, and storage facilities. The effect of ethanol dilution on the rheological…
Heavy oil reservoirs contain a large amount of hydrocarbons that are relatively difficult to produce and lift to the surface due to the very low mobility of these heavy oils. Even after producing these heavy oils, transportation problems arise as…
Determining the physicochemical properties of petroleum is important for rapid decision-making during the production process. True boiling point (TBP) curve is the most important parameter in the petroleum characterization. However, the TBP can be…
With the increasing requirement of global energy resources, researchers seek for new ways to deal with unconventional crude oil resources. Using the Computational Fluid Dynamics numerical simulation method, the standard k- turbulence model and the…

This study aims to investigate a new method of combining ultrasonic waves with different frequencies and magnetic nanoparticles in reducing the asphaltene content and kinematic viscosity of heavy oil. In general, the experiments included irradiation…
