Catalysis in Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking

By:- Gajendra Ujjenia

Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology

Abstract:-
Hydroprocessing is used in the petroleum refinery to crack larger molecules and/or to remove S, N and metals from petroleum derived feed stocks such as, gas-oil and heavy oil.
Hydrocracking is a process in which higher hydro carbons are converted into smaller hydrocarbon .The rate of cracking depends on several factors like temperature ,catalyst. Its main objective is to remove feed contaminants and to convert low value gasoil to valuble products.Purpose of hydrocracking severe form of hydroprocessing is to break carbon-carbon bonds and drastic reduction of molecular weight.Products more appropriate for diesel than gasoline.
Hydrotreating is a process in which nitrogen,sulfar and other hetro atomic compounds. Metals such as nickel and vanadium may be removed from the hydrocarbon stream during hydrotreating. Hydrotreaters may be designated to continuously process one particular hydrocarbon feedstock, or may alternate processing of different feed streams.In other words hydrotreating is a refinery process in which hydrogen gas is mixed withthe

    However, the process of hydrofracking has been highly criticized. Natural gas movement through shale formations occurs mostly through cracks in the rock called joints; therefore a well that intersects these joints produces the most natural gas. Traditionally, gas wells were drilled vertically into the rock, but the joints in the Marcellus Shale tend to run vertically, so traditional, vertical wells would intersect very few joints and hence produce little gas. Hydrofracking works by drilling a vertical well down to the shale layer and then drilling horizontally into the shale. The fracturing part of the hydrofracking involves pumping a high-pressure gel down into the well with enough force to fracture the rock and release the natural gas trapped inside…

    Hydraulic Fracturing

    • 1087 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Hydraulic fracturing is a process within the mining and drilling industries used to increase the output of an underground fluid. Fracturing is used to access or augment productivity in petroleum, water and natural gas. The actual process is accomplished deep underground when a pressurized fluid is ejected from underground piping into the surrounding rock formations. The pressure of the fluid creates a crack in the rock which continues to expand as the pressure is applied. Solid additives in the pressurized fluid prevent the rupture from resealing once the pressure is alleviated. Sand and ceramics are commonly used as additives because their porous nature also allows the desired resource to travel to the piping. The increase in the size and number of underground networks due to the fracturing allows greater fluid output. In some instances the retrieval of an underground fluid would not be possible without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Shale reserves, located about 5,000 feet underground, suffer an exceptionally low permeability rate. Permeability is the measure of how well a fluid flows through a porous material. At that depth, and within such nonporous rock, the ability of fluids to travel to the well is greatly limited. Fracturing increases the area of the fluid that is exposed to porous materials and thus greatly increases production. The method of fracturing utilizes a few key components which allow for an economical extraction of resources.…

    Most wastewater currently disposed of across the nation is generated and produced in the process of oil and gas extraction. As discussed above, saltwater is produced as a byproduct during the extraction process. This wastewater is found at nearly every oil and gas extraction well. The other main constituent of wastewater is leftover hydraulic fracturing fluid. Once hydraulic fracturing is completed, drilling engineers extract the fluids that are remaining in the well. Some of this recovered hydraulic fracturing fluid is used in subsequent fracking operations, while some of it is disposed of in deep…

    Horizontal hydrofracking is a means of tapping shale deposits containing natural gas that were previously inaccessible by conventional drilling. Vertical hydrofracking is used to extend the life of an existing well once its productivity starts to run out, sort of a last resort. Horizontal fracking differs in that it uses a mixture of 596 chemicals, many of them proprietary, and millions of gallons of water per frack. This water then becomes contaminated and must be cleaned and disposed of.…

    The oil and gas industry is seeking to expand natural gas production across the nation, as new technology makes it easier to extract gas from previously inaccessible sites. Over the last decade, the industry has drilled thousands of new wells in the Rocky Mountain region and in the South. It is expanding operations in the eastern United States as well, setting its sights most recently on a 600-mile-long rock formation called the Marcellus Shale, which stretches from West Virginia to western New York.…

    Hydraulic fracking or hydro-fracking is the fracturing of rock to extract natural gases from the ground. To fracture the rock and extract the natural gases, a large amount of water, combined with chemicals, is pumped into the ground at high pressures to open up existing fractures. After this process, the gas can flow freely into the drilled gas well. However, Hydro-fracking should not be used because it destroys the land, air, water, and the health of the people.…
