稠油不同于常规原油,主要是粘度大,难于用常规方法开采。文章针对稠油的特殊性质,介绍了几种常用的常规稠油开采技术(如蒸汽法和火烧油层法)的基本原理及这些技术的不足之处,并介绍了几种新的非常规开采稠油技术。

Heavy oil is different from general oil, mostly its viscosity is too thick to be exploited with normal methods. Due to the particularity quality of heavy oil, this paper introduces and summarizes principle and shortcoming of several common methods in producing heavy oil, such as steam and in-situ combustion. And also presents new unconventional methods of heavy oil recovery.
