  • Patent number: 12055024
    Abstract: A heavy oil thermal recovery method based on a multi-composition thermal fluid in a supercritical state, comprising: injecting a mixing of steam and vacuum gas oil containing Fe(III) aromatic sulfonate dissolved therein into an subterranean formation to preheat the subterranean formation, and extracting light crude oil from the subterranean formation when a temperature of the subterranean formation reaches a required temperature for combustion of heavy oil; injecting the steam and a combustion-supporting gas into the subterranean formation to enable the heavy oil to be ignited and a temperature of the subterranean formation to be reached 600° C.; and injecting a multi-composition thermal fluid formed by mixing a hydrogen donor with water into the subterranean formation to enable the multi-composition thermal fluid to be heated to the supercritical state under heat provided by the combustion of the heavy oil, and extracting crude oil modified by the heavy oil through the multi-composition thermal fluid.

  • 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.
