- Heavy Oil Field Upgrading/Viscosity Reduction Plant
- Links in the left frame
provide access to detailed information about our EADIEMAC Process for
heavy oil upgrading and related
services. We encourage enquiries for the application of
our EADIEMAC Process from any producer of heavy oil or bitumen. Partially
upgrading heavy oil in field upgraders utilizing established visbreaking
technology, prior to shipping by
pipeline, is
the prime application of our process.
-
- The EADIEMAC Process is a scaleable type of process that can be
engineered for a wide range of heavy oil feedstocks and volumes.
Plants of 10,000 - 20,000bbls/day capacity or larger can be located in the
field where there is a concentration of feedstock available. Smaller
plants down to 1,000 - 2,500bbls/day can be skid mounted and shipped to
the production site.
-
- We specifically request enquiries from heavy oil or bitumen producers. The concept behind the process is to provide a simple, inexpensive,
easily controlled visbreaker in the field. This will provide the
advantages of refinery technology at low cost available to producers, at
the source. Our EADIEMAC Process significantly reduces viscosity
(see test results) to eliminate
or substantially reduce the need for diluent. In addition it is possible to
partially field upgrade production to take
advantage of the price differential between light and heavy crude oils.
By having a simple refinery capacity in the field there are several
opportunities to operate at reduced cost such as:
+
reducing or eliminating the need for
natural gas to generate steam for production wells.
+ the ability to remove the very heavy components for
further processing thus significantly upgrading the production
+ eliminating or reducing the need for diluent and the related
pipelines and transportation costs
+ effectively increasing the
product pipeline capacity by
the amount of diluent normally required
Note: In the EADIEMAC Process there is no visbreaking or cracking of low
boiling fractions (ie. below 300 deg. C )
- Patent coverage was obtained some time
ago for the front end elements of the overall EADIEMAC Process.
This portion covers the basic thermal cracking component before
improvements. Other
components of the full process are designed to optimize revenue from the
partially upgraded product, adapt to heavier feed stocks, enhance related
field operations and deal with environmental issues.
