Abstract: A pseudo-mechanism for the production of coke during the thermal cracking of a Colombian heavy crude oil was proposed based on thermal cracking experiments carried out at TGA and at horizontal tube furnace at atmospheric conditions. In-situ combustion (ISC) is a thermal method that improves the recovery of heavy crude oils and involves complex phenomena such as heat and mass transfers, low-temperature oxidation of the liquid phase (LTO), and cracking reactions that yield coke, a car...
