Cold Cracking Technology for Crude Oil Upgrading in Qaiyarah Heavy Oil Field; Technical and Economical Evaluation

Heavy oil is classified as unconventional resource because of its difficulty to recover in natural state, difficulties transport and marketing it. Upgrading solution the heavy has positive impact technically economically specially when it will be a competitive with conventional oils from prospective. Developing Qaiyarah field was neglected last five decades, main reason due low quality crude resulted high viscosity density which still major challenge putting them on stream line production Iraq. The properties led lower prices global markets well operation cost transportation. purpose this paper testing new technology applications an Iraqi Oil Field specifically (Qaiyarah Field) by applying cold cracking technique upgrade through using series electrical/ mechanical activities applied that generates special kind vibrations re-structure (H-C) bonds convert lighter viscosity/ outcome distillation reducing unsaturated components isolating minerals sulfur sold components. results were very optimistic, where improved 16 30.5 API degree, content reduced 6.4 1.507 weight percent selling price per barrel would increase 53% compare 2.31% increment upgrading operation. Therefore, convenience for improving increased
