PREDICTION OF ECOSHALE PRODUCTION USING CFD AND KINETICS MODEL

摘要

1. The kinetic used in the CFD model is not sufficient to optimize the oil production and API 2. Combining the results given by the CFD model with the Total kinetic model, it appears that the average temperature of the capsule should not be the only indicator to optimize the oil production and quality. 3. Highest C6-C20 yield will be reached by a steady heating from the bottom to the top of the capsule and all layers should reach the 'nice spot' of 670-700℉ 4. C6-C20 overcracking can be avoided at the capsule bottom if we add gas extraction in row-1. 5. Precise Temperature monitoring will be critical to understanding the capsule performance.
