ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for preparing pipelineable syncrude and asphalt from a heavy crude oil. The syncrude has substantially less metals content and Conradson Carbon Residue than the precursor crude oil, and may be used as feed for catalytic cracking or as fuel oil. The asphalt is adaptable for paving. The process consists of air-blowing the crude, deasphalting the air-blown product, and thermally cracking the deasphalted oil to reduce its viscosity, in that order.
The process is adaptable to on-site use in or near a heavy oil field, using skid-mounted equipment.
