PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CRUDE OIL AND BITUMEN PRODUCTS |
摘要 |
Disclosed are processes for producing crude oil and bitumen products of relatively high quality from oil sand. The processes for producing the high quality crude oil and bitumen products involve a Phase I and/or Phase II extraction solvent. According to the Phase I process, a high quality bitumen-derived crude oil can be produced using a Phase I type solvent. According to the Phase II process, a substantial amount of the bitumen on the oil sand can be extracted using a Phase II type solvent, while producing a relatively dry tailings by-product. The Phase I and Phase II extraction processes can be carried out independently or in conjunction with one another. |

1. A process for producing a bitumen-derived crude oil composition and a bitumen composition from an oil sands feedstock, comprising:
treating the oil sands feedstock with a first hydrocarbon solvent to produce the bitumen-derived crude oil composition, wherein the oil sands feedstock is comprised of at least 6 wt % bitumen based on total weight of the oil sands, and the first hydrocarbon solvent is comprised of at least one of C3-C6 paraffins and halogen-substituted C1-C6 paraffins; separating the deasphalted crude oil composition from the treated oil sands, wherein the bitumen-derived crude oil composition has an asphaltene content of not greater than 10 wt % pentane insolubles, measured according to ASTM D4055; and treating the treated oil sands with a second hydrocarbon solvent to produce the heavy bitumen composition, wherein the second hydrocarbon solvent is comprised of an admixture of aliphatic hydrocarbon and a fraction of the bitumen-derived crude oil composition. |
