All rights reserved.In this paper, a thermal recovery technique is proposed to be applied for producing heavy oil reservoir which is implemented using the combination of microwave and nano ferro fluid. The microwave will radiate water particles and nano ferro fluid in the reservoir, as a consequence, it will heat up the oil and lower its viscosity. The heating technique can be conducted by incorporating the antenna into the well which may overcome any depth limitation frequently found in some thermal recovery techniques. To mimic the real situation, the experimental laboratory is conducted by use of sandpack consists of 22◦ API oil, nano ferro fluid or brine, and lose sand. With maximum output power of 900 Watt and Fe2O3 as the nano particles, the microwave heating which works at the frequency of 2.45 GHz is able to reduce oil viscosity from 4,412.11 cP on its pour point at 51◦C to 134.24 cP at 90◦C.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Experimental laboratory,Heavy oil reservoirs,Maximum output power,Oil viscosity,Pour points,Real situation,Thermal recovery,Water particles[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is partially supported by the program of research, community service, and innovation (Program Penelitian, Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, dan Inovasi, P3MI) FY2017 from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/PIERS-FALL.2017.8293576[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
