  • Publication number: 20230340865
    Abstract: A heavy oil thermal recovery method based on staged injection of a supercritical multielement thermal fluid, comprising: extracting light crude oil in response to detecting that the oil storage stratum having an ignition temperature through preheating the oil storage stratum; increasing a temperature of the oil storage stratum through igniting heavy oil in the oil storage stratum having the ignition temperature; and injecting, sequence to heating the oil storage stratum to a required temperature, a multielement thermal fluid into the oil storage stratum, and extracting crude oil sequence to an operation of closing in. Reaction temperature is increased by heat released by the crude oil during combustion, and a supercritical state of water is reached. The addition of a catalyst can promote the reaction, and therefore, when the temperature drops below a critical point in partial regions, the catalyst can ensure the reaction is continuously and efficiently carried out.
