Description
The dataset includes heavy oil and non-heavy oil onshore production. The proportion of crude oil production in China is 17% heavy oil and 83% non-heavy oil, representing an average production mix in 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 those with low reservoir permeability, low resource 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 onshore extraction of heavy oil and non-heavy oil petroleum and natural gas from oilfields. This process includes oil extraction and surface processing. The oil extraction process involves lifting oil and gas to the surface using pumping units, bringing crude oil and natural gas from underground to the surface. 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.
