Abstract
A method of reforming crude oil includes providing a heavy crude oil energy brick which includes an aggregate first part of heavy crude oil, an aggregate second part of one of fly ash, petroleum coke, and an aggregate having a carbon content of more than 10% by weight of the aggregate second part, a cement reacting agent of phosphoric acid, a metal-based cementing agent one of hematite and magnetite, a setting agent of one of iron oxide and elemental iron, and a working fluid. The method includes heating the energy brick to between of between 170° C. and 190° C. to remove surplus water and formed hydrates from the energy brick. The method further includes heating the energy brick to between 450° C. and 550° C. to catalytically crack and reform hydrocarbon molecules in the aggregate first part, and collecting the catalytically cracked and reformed hydrocarbon molecules as product.
