Abstract

ABSTRACT: During the high pressure air injection process, there are different types of oxidation reactions, which do not exist, and the predominant reaction type of is dependent on the specific conditions. In this study the influences of formation temperature, pressure, and oxidation time on light crude oxidation have been studied via oxidation experiments. And it is shown that the reaction types could be effectively improved by the temperature increment, which decreases the oil viscosity. As well, the pressure and oxidation time have obvious effects that were mainly present in oxygen addition reactions and the viscosity increase.
