I am working to an experimental heavy-oil upgrader project (mid-stream operation). We are utilizing CO2, H2O, Small amount of condensate, and a specialized catalyst. We did clean and upgrade the heavy oil, but the problem is we could'nt stabilize its high API (after a day of storage, it drops by 5 deg API). My question is, would the addition of condensate after processing will help? Lab shows it does, but not too long. Or do you have any suggestions that might help with our problem?
