Subsurface Upgrading of Heavy Crude Oils and Bitumen
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-138-74444-8 (ISBN)
The author presents an in-depth account and a critical review of the progress of industry and academia in underground or In-Situ upgrading of heavy, extra-heavy oils and bitumen, as reported in the patent and open literature. This work is aimed to be a standalone monograph, so three chapters are dedicated to the composition of petroleum and fundamentals of crude oil production and refining.
Key Features:
Offers a multidisciplinary scope that will appeal to chemists, geologists, biologists, chemical engineers, and petroleum engineers
Presents the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies considered
Discusses economic and environmental considerations for all the routes evaluated and offers perspectives from experts in the field working with highlighted technologies
Cesar Ovalles graduated with a Licentiate degree in Chemistry from Simon Bolivar University and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Texas A&M University. Right after graduation, he worked for 16 years at Petroleos de Venezuela Sociedad Anonima-Instituto de Tecnologia Venezolano del Petroleo (PDVSA–INTEVEP). In 2006, he joined Chevron and is currently Technical Team Leader of the Heavy Oil Characterization group. He is involved in the areas of petroleum chemistry, heavy and extra heavy crude oil upgrading (surface and subsurface), and asphaltene characterization. After his 28 years of industrial experience, Dr. Ovalles has published 62 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, 4 books, has been awarded 18 patents, and presented 116 papers at scientific and technical conferences. Additionally, he has published 14 articles in Venezuelan journals and 92 Technical Reports for an outstanding number of 306 total scientific productions. Cesar has also served as Associate Editor of Revista de la Sociedad Venezolana de Catalisis from 1996 to 2000 and Vision Tecnologica (Technical Journal of PDVSA–INTEVEP) from 2000 to 2002. In 2014, he won the Outstanding Technical Achievement Award from Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Conference and the National STAR-Hispanic in Technology-Corporate Award from the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. Cesar is married to his college sweetheart, Luisa (Lulu), and is the father of two grown children. His son, Cesar Arturo, is a computer science graduate currently working for Safeway Supermarkets and his daughter, Manuela, is a microbiologist working for Mission Bio, a start-up company in South San Francisco.
