Heavy-Oil-Recovery

Heavy oil recovery is the method of producing oil after the primary and secondary stages have extracted most of the oil in a reserve. Specifically, enhanced oil recovery is used to recover oil trapped in porous rocks and the heavy oil that is too viscous to flow. Heavy fuel oil is used for ship the basic requirement for any marine engine is to propel a ship or to generate power onboard by using the energy obtained from burning of fuel oil. Heavy fuel oil is the most widely used type of fuels for commercial vessels. It is referred to as “heavy” because of its density or specific gravity which is higher than that of light crude. Light crude oil gets a higher price than heavy crude oil on commodity markets because it produces a higher proportion of gasoline and diesel fuel when improved into products by an oil refinery.
