Extracting and refining this oil can pose significant challenges, including very high transportation costs. As a result, processes which produce and partially refine heavy oil in situ, known as catalytic  upgrading, are an increasingly important part of the heavy oil extraction process, and the reduced carbon footprint associated with these methods promises to make them even more significant in the coming years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive introduction to these processes. It introduces the properties and characteristics of heavy and extra-heavy oil before discussing different catalysts and catalyzing processes, their mechanisms and underlying physics, and more. It offers the full sweep of description and analysis required for petroleum and chemical engineers to understand this vital aspect of the modern oil industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003eDetailed discussion of subjects including electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and more \u003cli\u003eAnalysis of both liquid catalysts and nanoparticle catalysts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA numerical simulation of the catalytic in-situ oil upgrading process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatalytic In-Situ Upgrading of Heavy and Extra-Heavy Crude Oils\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMikhail A.
