摘要

The unique operation of the THAI process – Toe-to-Heel AirrnInjection, enables very high oil recovery and substantial in-siturnupgrading. Both thermal upgrading (non-catalytic) and alsorncatalytic upgrading, in which a catalyst is emplaced along thernhorizontal producer well, were investigated. 3-D physicalrnmodel experiments were conducted on virgin Athabasca TarrnSand bitumen to investigate dry and wet combustionrnperformance. These results were compared against those fromrna steamflood test, which was also followed by air injection.rnExcellent ignition and very stable combustion propagation wasrnachieved using Athabasca Tar Sand. Thermal upgradingrnachieved nearly 10 API points increase. Additional upgradingrnwas achieved using an in situ catalyst. The main limitation ofrnusing steam is that a very large fraction of the oil remainsrnimmobile. This residual oil can only be ‘unlocked’ by thermalrncracking at high temperature (>500oC), as in THAI. THAI hasrnthe extra advantage that some hydrogen is generated in situ,rnproviding further significant upgrading via hydroconversion.rnThere are also substantial environmental benefits because ofrnthe large reductions in sulphur and heavy metals in thernproduced oil. Furthermore, oil is produced withoutrn‘displacement delay’, immediately ahead of the combustionrnfront. The Oil recovery using THAI was greater than 75%rnOOIP.
