摘要

In the future, conventional crudes will not be able to meet the national energy need. At that point, there will be a transition from conventional to alternative crudes. Heavy crudes which are readily available will be utilized first. Because of the volatility of the petroleum market and our net importer status, the US will have little control over the timing of the transition. The current weakness of the domestic petroleum industry and the lack of understanding of heavy crude chemistry and characteristics may complicate the coming transition. The most efficient role for government research in the processing and utilization of heavy crudes is to develop a program which supports the transition in technologies by developing basic data and understanding of heavy crudes. This effort consists of programs which identify and explore the chemistry of processing heavy crudes, define their general characteristics, and measure thermodynamic properties and design data. In addition, because the nature of the fuels from heavy crudes will be different, other programs should develop an understanding of stability and compatibility and engine performance differences which may result from their utilization. In this document, a series of programs to define and explore each of the research needs are given and discussed. Estimates of program content, timing, and cost are also included. To insure the validity of these conclusions, the finding of this study was reviewed by experts from the refining industry and faculty members from universities knowledgeable about the refining industry. In general, the findings of the survey strongly support the research needs developed in this document. 11 refs., 10 figs. (ERA citation 12:043002)
