Description
The dataset includes heavy oil and non-heavy oil offshore production. In China's crude oil production, heavy oil accounts for 17%, while non-heavy oil accounts for 83%, representing an average production mix for China.
Heavy oil reservoirs refer to reservoirs where the crude oil viscosity under reservoir conditions exceeds 50 mPa·s. Crude oil from heavy oil reservoirs has high viscosity, poor fluidity, and is difficult to extract. Low-permeability oilfields are oilfields characterized by low reservoir permeability, low abundance, and low single-well productivity.
The net calorific value of crude oil is 43.4 MJ/kg, and the average calorific value of natural gas is 36 MJ/Sm³.
Activity Description
This dataset represents offshore extraction of oil and natural gas from oil fields, distinguishing between conventional and heavy oil. The process includes both oil production and surface processing stages. The oil production phase involves lifting oil and gas to the surface using pumping units. Surface processing mainly includes three-phase separation of oil, gas, and water, as well as transportation of oil and gas.
Process Description
Crude oil (non-heavy/ heavy oil) is a fossil fuel with a net calorific value of 43.4 MJ/kg. Crude oil density varies depending on the characteristics of the oil field, and the relative density of crude oil generally 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.
