Steam Stimulation

Abstract A nickel-based catalyst precursor has been synthesized for in-situ upgrading of heavy crude oil that is capable of increasing the efficiency of steam stimulation techniques. The precursor activation occurs due to the decomposition of nickel tallate under hydrothermal conditions. The aim of this study is to analyze the efficiency of in-situ catalytic upgrading of heavy oil from laboratory scale experiments to the field-scale implementation in Boca de Jaruco reservoir. The proposed catalytic composition for in-reservoir chemical transformation of heavy oil and natural bitumen is composed of oil-soluble nickel compound and organic hydrogen donor solvent. The nickel-based catalytic composition in laboratory-scale hydrothermal conditions at 300°С and 90 bars demonstrated a high performance; the content of asphaltenes was reduced from 22% to 7 wt.%. The viscosity of crude oil was also reduced by three times. The technology for industrial-scale production of catalyst precursor was designed and the first pilot batch with a mass of 12 ton was achieved. A «Cyclic steam stimulation» technology was modified in order to deliver the catalytic composition to the pay zones of Boca de Jaruco reservoir (Cuba). The active forms of catalyst precursors are nanodispersed mixed oxides and sulfides of nickel. The pilot test of catalyst injection was carried out in bituminous carbonate formation M, in Boca de Jaruco reservoir (Cuba). The application of catalytic composition provided increase in cumulative oil production and incremental oil recovery in contrast to the previous cycle (without catalyst) is 170% up to date (the effect is in progress). After injection of catalysts, more than 200 samples from production well were analyzed in laboratory. Based on the physical and chemical properties of investigated samples and considering the excellent oil recovery coefficient it is decided to expand the industrial application of catalysts in the given reservoir. The project is scheduled on the fourth quarter of 2021.

This paper reports a simple way to produce porous graphitic carbons from a wide range of lignocellulosic biomass sources, including nut shells, softwood sawdust, seed husks and bamboo. Biomass precursors are milled and sieved to produce fine powders and are then converted to porous graphitic carbons by iron-catalysed graphitization. Graphitizing the raw (unmilled) biomass creates carbons that are diverse in their porosity and adsorption properties. This is due to the inability of the iron catalyst precursor to penetrate the structure of dense biomass material. Milling enables much more efficient impregnation of the biomass and produces carbons with homogeneous properties. Lignocellulosic biomass (particularly waste biomass) is an attractive precursor to technologically important porous graphitic carbons as it is abundant and renewable. This simple method for preparing the biomass enables a wide range of biomass sources to be used to produce carbons with homogeneous properties. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bio-derived and bioinspired sustainable advanced materials for emerging technologies (part 2)’.

Flame Method

The flame method is a kind of new method for preparation of carbon nanotubes. The hydrocarbon gas (acetylene, ethylene, methane) or carbon monoxide is often selected as carbon source gas in this method. Carbon monoxide is a kind of effective carbon source gas in preparation of carbon nanotubes from the high temperature flame compared with hydrocarbon gases. The pentacarbonyl iron is served as catalyst precursor in the experiment. Austenitic stainless steel type316 is selected as sampling substrate in the flame experiment. The carbon nanotubes from the controllable flame have graphite well-crystallized and less structural defects relatively. The nanotube diameter consistency is also relatively good. Carbon monoxide began to decompose at higher temperature than that of hydrocarbon gas and its decomposition rate is suitable for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes in the flame. In addition, the carbon monoxide has the ability to split large iron catalyst particles and prefers to react with iron catalyst. But only a few carbon nanotubes mixed with lots of iron catalyst particles, soot and amorphous carbon particles come into being when low mass flow of carbon monoxide is provided.

The catalytic reduction of the alkene 1 gave the cis-fused product (not illustrated), by kinetic H₂ addition to the less congested face of the alkene. Ryan A. Shenvi of Scripps La Jolla found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 1300) conditions for stepwise HAT, con­verting 1 to the thermodynamically-favored trans-fused ketone 2. Seth B. Herzon of Yale University devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 6884) a protocol for the reduc­tion, mediated by 4, of the double bond of a haloalkene 3 to give the saturated halide 5. The Shenvi conditions also reduced a haloalkene to the saturated halide. Daniel J. Weix of the University of Rochester and Patrick L. Holland, also of Yale University, established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 945) conditions for the kinetic isomerization of a terminal alkene 6 to the Z internal alkene 7. Christoforos G. Kokotos of the University of Athens showed (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 4270) that the ketone 9, used catalytically, markedly accelerated the Payne epoxidation of 8 to 10. Note that Helena M. C. Ferraz of the Universidade of São Paulo reported (Tetrahedron Lett. 2000, 41, 5021) several years ago that alkene epoxidation was also easily carried out with DMDO generated in situ from acetone and oxone. Theodore A. Betley of Harvard University prepared (Chem. Sci. 2014, 5, 1526) the allylic amine 12 by reacting the alkene 11 with 1-azidoadamantane in the presence of an iron catalyst. Rodney A. Fernandes of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay developed (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 5787) efficient conditions for the Wacker oxida­tion of a terminal alkene 6 to the methyl ketone 13. Yong-Qiang Wang of Northwest University oxidized (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 1610) the alkene 6 to the enone 14. Peili Teo of the National University of Singapore devised (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 2608) conditions for the Markovnikov hydration of the alkene 6 to the alcohol 15. Internal alkenes were inert under these conditions, but Yoshikazo Kitano of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology effected (Synthesis 2014, 46, 1455) the Markovnikov amination (not illustrated) of more highly substituted alkenes.

Daniel J. Weix of the University of Rochester effected (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 1476) the in situ reductive coupling of an alkyl halide 2 with an acid chloride 1 to deliver the ketone 3. André B. Charette of the Université de Montréal (not illustrated) developed (Nature Chem. 2012, 4, 228) an alternative route to ketones by the coupling of an organometallic with an in situ-activated secondary amide. Mahbub Alam and Christopher Wise of the Merck, Sharpe and Dohme UK chemical process group optimized (Org. Process Res. Dev. 2012, 16, 453) the opening of an epoxide 4 with a Grignard reagent 5. Ling Song of the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter optimized (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 4645) conditions for the 1,2-addition of a Grignard reagent (not illustrated) to a readily enolizable ketone. Wei-Wei Liao of Jilin University conceived (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 2354) of an elegant assembly of highly functionalized quaternary centers, as illustrated by the conversion of 7 to 8. Antonio Rosales of the University of Granada and Ignacio Rodríguez-García of the University of Almería prepared (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 4171) free radicals by reduction of an ozonide 9 in the presence of catalytic titanocene dichloride. In the absence of the acceptor 10, the dimer of the radical was obtained, presenting a simple alternative to the classic Kolbe coupling. Marc L. Snapper of Boston College found (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2012, 2308) that the difficult ketone 12 could be methylenated following a modified Peterson protocol. Yoshito Kishi of Harvard University optimized (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 86) the coupling of 15 with 16 to give 17. Masaharu Nakamura of Kyoto University devised (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 1168) an iron catalyst for the coupling of 18 with 19. The specific preparation of trisubsituted alkenes is an ongoing challenge. Quanri Wang of Fudan University and Andreas Goeke of Givaudan Shanghai fragmented (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 5647) the ketone 21 by exposure to 22 to give the macrolide 23 with high stereocontrol.
