Detailed Description of the Invention
[0012] Resistances to the flow of thick oil in the pipe are caused by a low mobility of the thick oil and the reduction in the diameter of the pipe due to the buildup of the thick oil and the non-flowing follow-up materials .
[0013] One of the technologies that may be implemented is increasing the mobility of the thick oil by a method of molecular heating, splitting, and polarizing integration. [0014] The method of heating using electromagnetic induction wave has an effect of eddy current on the material which leads to heat increasing.
[0015] The method of molecular splitting using ultrasonic cavitation wave results in high and low pressures alternately. In the low pressure cycle, it produces a small vacuum bubble in the fluid which is split out while entering the high pressure cycle . The low and high pressures cycles alternately create an explosion of cavitation which result in a strong hydrodynamic shear force . This shear force results in a disintegration of oil molecules into smaller sizes and breaks down the chemical bonds .
[0016] The method of polarization using magnetic field pulses produces a Lorentz force which can maintain the polarization stability of the oil particles . The polarization stability of the oil particles may keep the crystallization still in the oil suspension.
[0017] The method integration of heating, splitting, and polarizing becomes an integrated entity which relates to each other. The process of electromagnetic induction creates heat to the oil up to (greater than) > 300° C and an ion exchange process occurs due to the presence of electromagnetic induction waves . The process of electromagnetic induction may increase the effectiveness of the ultrasonic cavitation process . The cavitation explosion results in a disintegration of the long carbon chain into the simple one, a change in the characteristic from a heavy oil (smaller than) < 10 - 22.3 °API to be a light oil (greater than) > 22.3°API , and a decreasing in the viscosity from (greater than) > 1000 cP to (smaller than) < 500 cP. The polarization process can maintain the stability of particles crystallization in the oil suspension and decrease the accumulation of lime deposits in water . All of this process will reduce the resistances of oil flows in the pipeline which is characterized by a decrease in the gradient pressure in the pipe, which has implications for oil production optimization.
