Sinopec Receives ISO's Approval for China's First ISO International Technical Specification for Heavy Oil Development

Due to land-phase sedimentation and complex geological conditions, China's heavy oil reserves are buried deep with thin oil layers, so the developments are facing challenges such as flow speed and distance. With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Sinopec's key science and technology projects, Sun Huanquan's team focused on tackling the bottlenecks of heavy oil development and innovated the multi-element thermal compositive development technology that has been applied on a large scale in Shengli and Henan oilfields, which enables Sinopec to achieve annual heavy oil production of over 4.8 million tons.

Next, Sun Huanquan and the team will set up an international working group with technical experts from the U.S., Saudi Arabia and other countries following ISO's requirements to speed up the drafting of the international standard and release it at the earliest availability.
