Vapour Extraction
A non-thermal heavy oil production method where a solvent vapour is used to reduce viscosity of the heavy oil.
This term describes the resistance of fluid to flow. A high viscosity fluid will not flow as easily as a low viscosity fluid.
Crude oil with high viscosity and high specific gravity. Heavy oils typically have low hydrogen-to-carbon ratios, high asphaltene, sulfur, nitrogen, and heavy-metal content, as well as higher acid numbers.
