High-viscosity oil properties of the East Moldabek field

Abstract

Large reserves of hard-to-recover oil belong to the category of high-viscosity, heavy oils. Despite the shallow depth of occurrence, there are technological difficulties in extracting these fluids to the surface. The properties of reservoir oil, which directly affect the oil recovery factor, have a key role for the production technology. The article considers an example of analysis and substantiation of the properties of high-viscosity oil from the chalk reservoir of the East Moldabek field.
