Heavy oil production challenges
Heavy oil plays—and their unique challenges—vary widely. Halliburton has the right solutions. Only Halliburton can supply the optimal solution when it comes to solving the many and complex challenges posed by heavy oil—evaluation and assessment, horizontal drilling, stimulation, production and field sustainability concerns. Abstract There are numerous flow assurance and processing challenges associated with the production of heavy oil. These challenges are generally addressed in the early stage of the development and include; sizing of separators, internal design of the vessels, the process vessel configuration and the optimum means of handling solids and water. While heavy oil is abundant, it also presents significant economic and technological challenges. Although it is an important energy resource, heavy oil requires an unusually high level of effort and expertise to economically develop and produce. Abstract Heavy oil production is becoming standard for the industry as demand continues to increase. The first pilot, in the South Ratqa area of North Kuwait, experienced challenges related to producing such low API production in 6 heavy oil production facilities.
