Abstract
The heavy crude oil of the Mordovo-Karmal deposit was cracked in the presence of NiCr/WC catalyst. The catalytic upgrading heavy crude oil was carried out in the batch reactor at 450 °, catalyst content in the range of 0.010.20 wt%, and 100 min of residence time. It is shown that the cracking in the presence of a catalyst results in the formation of a light synthetic oil. The viscosity of the liquid products of catalytic cracking decreases by an order of magnitude. The content of the fractions boiling up to 360 °C increases to 78 wt%, while the content of resins, asphaltenes, and sulfur decreases.
