METHODS OF HYDROTREATING A LIQUID STREAM TO REMOVE CLOGGING COMPOUNDS

摘要

The invention provides methods for producing one or more crude products that includes producing formation fluid from a subsurface in situ heat treatment process; separating the formation fluid to produce a liquid stream and a gas stream; providing a liquid stream to a hydrotreating unit; hydrotreating at least a portion of the liquid stream at conditions sufficient for removal of at least a portion of clogging compositions that clog one or more processing units positioned downstream of the hydrotreating unit; and processing the hydrotreated liquid stream in one or more of the downstream processing units to form one or more crude products.
