Abstract

It is of great significance to further investigate the pyrolysis reaction mechanism of heavy oil at various temperatures by simulating the organic model molecular pyrolysis reaction network during heavy oil development. This article employs molecular dynamics simulation methods to examine the high-temperature pyrolysis reaction pathways and networks of heavy oil model molecules (C29H54). The types of reactions, particularly the reaction network at a temperature of 1500 K, were theoretically analyzed through kinetic simulations conducted at different temperatures of 1000 K and 1500 K. This research aims to provide a novel approach for studying the combustion of heavy oil and the conversion of organic molecules at elevated temperatures, as well as to offer recommendations for enhancing the recovery rate of heavy oil.
