Laboratory investigation of nanoscale dispersed catalyst for inhibition coke formation and upgrading of heavy oil during THAI process

It has previously been shown that in situ upgrading of heavy oil by Toe-to-Heel Air Injection (THAI) can be augmented by surrounding the horizontal production well with an annulus of pelleted catalyst. Despite the further upgrading achieved with this configuration, the accumulation of coke and metal...
