dc.description.abstractHeavy oil reservoirs represent about 70% of the total oil reservoirs. EOR methods must be applied due to the low primary recovery of heavy oil reservoirs. The low primary recovery of these reservoirs is based on the viscosity of the heavy oil. Thermal EOR methods are the best to apply to extract more heavy oil. On-site combustion, gravity drainage with steam, and cyclic steam injection are the most famous thermal EOR methods. However, there will always be a demand for more productive methods of improving production with lower usage costs. Moreover, the growing concern about the environmental component of oil production may prompt the need to look for more suitable and profitable ways. One of these methods is electromagnetic heating, which can be even more efficient. This study compared the microwave heating method with the conventional thermal method. The effects of the microwave heating method on the viscosity of heavy oil and temperature alteration were analyzed. In addition, the effects of microwave power and water saturation were investigated on the impact of production efficiency using the experiment. From the experimental results, the microwave heating method gave better results in viscosity reduction. Overall, a higher power level showed a higher temperature alteration with a higher reduction in viscosity. In addition, higher water saturation gave higher results in temperature; however, from the efficiency side, the best choice for water saturation was identified, which is 10%.en_US
