Description
This dataset is a market group consisting of provincial markets within the Central China region. Transportation losses, transport vehicles, and transportation infrastructure are not included in this dataset; they are covered in the respective provincial market datasets. The Central China region includes: Henan, Hubei, and Hunan.
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 hybrid technology combines water flooding and gas injection techniques. In China, the technology share for crude oil production is 80% water flooding and 20% gas injection. Water flooding technology: As an important method for enhancing oil recovery, water flooding involves injecting water or other fluids into the oil reservoir to increase formation pressure and drive crude oil toward the wellbore. Gas injection technology: A reservoir process for enhancing crude oil recovery by injecting gas. Through a series of injection wells, working agents (natural gas or air) are injected into the reservoir to displace residual crude oil into surrounding production wells. A low-permeability oilfield refers to an oilfield characterized by low reservoir permeability, low reserves abundance, and low single-well productivity.
