The present invention is related to a process, by means of the application of a homogeneous phase catalyst, for improving heavy and extra heavy crude oil, which consists in the following steps: 1. separation and elimination of water contained in the hydrocarbon. 2. Catalyst injection and activation of the reaction system. 3. Elimination of gas hydrocarbons and recovery of the partial pressure of hydrogen at different times. 4. Reaction and 5. recovery of distilled products. This process allows the physical and chemical properties of the crude oil to be improved, increasing the API gravity, reducing the kinematic viscosity thereof, changing the composition per hydrocarbon families (SARA), increasing the ratio of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons and reducing that corresponding to resins and asphaltenes, so that the treated crude oil is turned into a lighter crude oil. In addition, the content of sulphur and nitrogen is reduced, thus obtaining a higher performance in distillates of hi gh commercial value upon generating a carbon production during the lower reaction of 1% by weight. |
