METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF A HYDROCARBON MIXTURE
The invention relates to a method for the production and use of a hydrocarbon mixture from natural gases (3) for crude oil refineries. The method is characterized in that the hydrocarbon mixture is anhydrous and is produced from natural gas using the following method steps: converting the natural gas to a methanol/water mixture (crude methanol) (14) without subsequent distillation; catalytic conversion of the crude methanol (14) to a dimethyl ether/methanol/water mixture; conversion of the dimethyl ether/methanol/water mixture to a hydrous hydrocarbon mixture, predominantly consisting of paraffins, C6+ olefins, and aromatics, in particular such as toluene and xylene; degassing and dehydration of the hydrocarbon mixture. The resulting hydrocarbon mixture is supplied to a refinery (25) processing crude oil, where the hydrocarbon mixture is converted to in particular specification-compliant products.

Method for improving the transportability of heavy crude oil
The invention relates to a method for improving the transportability of heavy crude oil.
Proceeding from the disadvantages of the known prior art a method is to be provided, in which an additive can be used which is producible from a byproduct arising during mineral oil production. The method is to be performable with low expenditure and without any special safety precautions. Further the additive shall lead to an increased yield of conventional petroleum during subsequent refining.
According to the invention, an aqueous hydrocarbon mixture having a chain length of predominantly C4 to C12 which does not contain any oxygen-containing hydrocarbon compounds is utilized. This is produced in the area of a mineral oil field from natural gas arising as by-product and/or mineral oil-associated gas. Thereby from the heavy crude oil a crude oil which is light in quality and transportable is obtained. During the subsequent refining of the light crude oil to give conventional petroleum, the amount of petroleum produced is increased by the amount of hydrocarbons present in the aqueous hydrocarbon mixture.

METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE TRANSPORTABILITY OF HEAVY CRUDE OIL
The invention relates to a method for improving the transportability of heavy crude oil. Proceeding from the disadvantages of the known prior art, a method should be created in which an additive can be used, it being possible to produce said additive from a by-product arising in the production of mineral oil. The intention is for it to be possible to perform the method at little cost and without particular safety-specific provisions. In addition, the additive should lead to an increased yield of conventional petroleum in subsequent refining of the crude oil. According to the invention, an aqueous mixture of hydrocarbons with a chain length of predominantly C4 to C12, which contains no hydrocarbon compounds containing oxygen, is used as the additive. The mixture is produced in the area of a mineral oil field from the natural gas and/or associated gas arising and is added to the heavy crude oil either in untreated form or after degassing and/or dewatering. In this way, a light, transportable crude oil is obtained from the heavy crude oil. During the subsequent refining of the light crude oil into conventional petroleum, the volume of petroleum produced is increased by the hydrocarbons contained in the aqueous hydrocarbon mixture.

METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE TRANSPORTABILITY OF HEAVY CRUDE OIL
The invention relates to a method for improving the transportability of heavy crude oil, wherein the viscosity of the heavy crude oil is intended to be reduced by means of an additive. Proceeding from the disadvantages of the known prior art, it is intended to create a method for improving the transportability of heavy crude oil by means of additives that will lead to an improved quality of the crude oil and will not have any deleterious effect on the further processing of the crude oil. The solution proposed to this end is to convert natural gas occurring in the vicinity of a crude oil deposit and/or crude oil accompanying gas into a methanol-water mixture, and to convert said mixture into dimethyl ether, and subsequently into a hydrocarbon mixture containing water. The hydrocarbon mixture is added to the heavy crude oil in order to improve transportability. Processed hydrocarbon mixture that has been dewatered and degassed can be added to the heavy crude oil at any point in the conveying and transporting route. Unprocessed hydrocarbon mixture must be added to the crude oil in the conveying and transporting route before it reaches the mass separation device.
