Resumo

As reservas petrolíferas actuais são em grande parte constituídas por óleos pesados e extra-pesados, dos quais pequenas quantidades são obtidas na produção primária. Neste tipo de reservatório, a aplicação de métodos de recuperação térmica é uma etapa importante no programa de desenvolvimento e exploração do campo. A injecção de vapor é um destes métodos utilizados com o objectivo principal de reduzir a viscosidade do petróleo bruto. A investigação experimental na literatura fornece provas de uma interacção entre vapor e petróleo no reservatório, permitindo a ocorrência de reacções químicas num processo chamado aquathermolysis. Esta transformação é um resultado químico que ocorre a temperaturas entre 200 y 325 °C, típicas da injecção de vapor. A adição do catalisador ao proceso torna possível estabelecer um cenário onde a energia de activação necessária é reduzida, gerando alterações permanentes nas propriedades do petróleo bruto, mesmo que o calor fornecido tenha sido disperso. A representação deste fenómeno através de simulação numérica de reservatório é um desafio, uma vez que as reacções que regem o processo de alterações físico-químicas no petróleo bruto são influenciadas por factores externos que não podem ser directamente representados por simuladores comerciais. Assim, o presente trabalho centrou-se na análise da investigação encontrada na literatura sobre a representação dos fenómenos físico-químicos, com a qual foi gerada uma metodologia para replicar os efeitos através da simulação numérica.
