Description
This dataset is a market group comprising the provincial markets within the Northwest region of China. Transportation losses, transportation vehicles, and transportation infrastructure are not included in this dataset; they are covered in the respective provincial market datasets. The Northwest region includes: Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang.
Process Description
Crude oil (heavy oil) is a fossil fuel with a net calorific value of 43.4 MJ/kg. The density of crude oil varies depending on the characteristics of the oil field, and its relative density typically ranges from 0.75 to 0.95 g/cm³. Crude oil is primarily produced through underground extraction. It is mainly used as a feedstock in refineries for the production of various fuels and petrochemical products.

Technology comment
The production technology includes offshore production of both heavy oil and non-heavy oil. Heavy oil reservoirs refer to reservoirs where the crude oil viscosity exceeds 50 mPa·s under reservoir conditions. Heavy oil has high viscosity, poor fluidity, and is difficult to extract. Low-permeability oilfields are characterized by low reservoir permeability, low resource abundance, and low single-well productivity.
