PROCESS MIXING WATER OXIDANT AND HEAVY OIL UNDER SUPERCRITICAL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS AND EVENTUALLY SUBMITTING THE MIXTURE TO MICROWAVE TREATING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for upgrading heavy oil by mixing a heavy oil stream with supercritical water and oxide streams, and more particularly, to an upgrading method for thoroughly mixing water and heavy oil prior to the oxide stream. In addition, the method of the present invention produces crude oil with a high content of sulfur, nitrogen and metal impurities and a high API content, without catalyst or hydrogen being supplied from the outside.
