To prepare for transportation at the fields, light and heavy oils are mixed with the help of jet mixers, which are injection devices that are installed in the receiving and distributing nozzle inside the tank. The work considers the simplest technological mixing scheme. The basic equations are presented that describe the processes of mixing light and heavy oils in a mixer, in which the light oil stream is the working stream, and the source stream in the heavy oil tank is the injected stream. The characteristic equation of the mixer is obtained. A system of equations is presented that describes the trajectory of the center line of the jet, changes in oil composition and average velocity along the jet. An example of a mixer, which is used in practice in a reservoir of the PBC 2000 type, is considered. Based on the characteristic equation for the known pressure drop of the working and injected flows, as well as the ratio of the sections of the working nozzle and the output section of the mixing chamber, the mixer injection coefficient is found. The calculated graphs of the characteristics of a turbulent flooded jet in an oil field oil storage tank are presented. From the graphs it follows: 1) there is a complete alignment of the concentration of the injected oil mixture with the concentration of heavy oil in the tank; 2) the speed of the jet decreases at a distance of the order of several meters to a value exceeding the minimum fishing speed known from the practice of liquidating bottom sediments. The main role of the mixer when mixing oils is that due to the injection of heavy oil from the reservoir, forced circulation flows are formed that exclude the formation of stagnant zones and the precipitation of solid inactive deposits.

The paper deals with a sol-forming system for oil recovery enhancement (EOR system) used to increase the rate of heavy oil displacement. The effect of sol-forming EOR system during the heavy oil displacement on the composition and stability of oil sampled from the Usinskoye oil field of Russia is investigated. The composition of a crude oil also plays an important role in changing its stability. The work is aimed to investigate stability of heavy crude oil in regards to asphaltene precipitation. For asphaltene toluene/n-heptane solutions, the aggregation stability of asphaltenes based on сhange in the optical density with time is investigated via spectrophotometry. SARA analysis is used to characterize the compositions of heavy oils. First, the content of asphaltenes precipitated from the oil samples is determined and then the samples of deasphalted crude oil (maltenes) are analyzed by the method of liquid adsorption chromatography for the purpose to study the composition of oil sampled from the wells before and after their treatment with the sol-forming EOR system. It is found out that the treatment of reservoir crude oil with the sol-forming EOR system results in changes in composition of saturated, aromatic hydrocarbons, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA components) and aggregative stability of produced oil. The results obtained showed that the aggregative stability of heavy oil depends not only on the content of SARA components in the dispersion medium but on the presence of metalloporphyrins in the oil. Metalloporphyrins could act as inhibitors of asphaltene precipitation, which is an additional factor responsible for the stabilization of the oil dispersed system

The effect of EOR technologies on the contents of petroporphyrins and naphthenic acids in recovered crude oil was studied using heavy oil from Usinskoye oil field (Republic Komi), which has high density, high content nickel and vanadium porphyrin complexes, the oxygen compounds and naphthenic acids. It is found that EOR system in combination with thermal steam treatment injection brings about an increase in the content of vanadium porphyrin complexes of crude oils. As a result of the oil-displacement EOR system injection, the naphthenic acids content would decrease in heavy oils.

High viscosity of heavy oils at reservoir conditions is one of the main causes of the low production rates of producing wells, and sometimes even their complete absence when trying to develop a field on a natural mode. The rheological properties of heavy oil deposits in a wide temperature range were studied in this work. Special attention was paid to the study of viscous and elastic components of oil viscosity as a function of temperature to justify the optimal conditions for the development of heavy oil fields. Heavy oil samples collected from Pechersky oil field (Russia) were used in this research. Dynamic viscosity tests were carried out on the heavy oil of this field. It was noticed that high values of viscous and elastic components of oil viscosity were observed over the entire temperature range. It has also been remarked that the values of oil viscosity components are inversely proportional to the temperature increase.
