Surface seismics - today’s mature technology

Not continuous or real-time - need to deploy survey ships

Limited resolution - sensors are distant from reservoir

Today’s hydrocracking market

2000: Six ISOCRACKING units awarded to Chevron Lummus Global

Worldwide: Large catalyst resale and retrofit market

Asia/Middle East: Driven by distillate demand and environmental considerations

Europe/Americas: Strong environmental drivers

When middle distillate is preferred...

Benefits: Converts heavy oils to high-quality

jet fuel and diesel. Reduces aromatics Reduces sulfur, even from difficult

heavy oil feeds Produces highest yields of aviation

turbine (jet) fuels and diesel fuels

Stand-alone ISOCRACKING does the job
