Aluminum oxides and hydroxides are widely applied because of the great variety of their modifications. In particular, aluminum oxides and hydroxides are used in petrochemistry and oil refining. However, amorphous aluminum ...

Oils from Nizhne-Karmal (Tatarstan, Russia) and Boca de Jaruco (Cuba) reservoirs had been researched by GC-MS. Distributions of alkanes, steranes, hopanes, alkylbenzenes had been used as biomarker characteristics. Initial ...

In the present work, we studied the catalytic performance of an oil-soluble nickel-based catalyst during aquathermolysis of oil-saturated crushed cores from Boca de Jaruco extra-heavy oil field. The decomposition of nickel ...

The aquathermolysis process is widely considered to be one of the most promising approaches of in-situ upgrading of heavy oil. It is well known that introduction of metal ions speeds up the aquathermolysis reactions. There ...

Estimates of the conventional proven hydrocarbon reserves show a tendency toward depletion, and in the near future they will be insufficient to meet the ever-growing global energy demand. The problem of crude oil deficiency ...
