UPGRADE HEAVY OIL. UNLOCK MORE VALUE.

Catalytic upgrading closer to production — improving transportability and refinery options.

THE CHALLENGE

Key Constraints for Heavy Crude.

High Viscosity & Transport Costs

Extra-heavy crude is difficult and expensive to move, limiting production and market access.

Diluent Sourcing & Logistics

Dependence on imported diluents adds cost, complexity, and supply risk.

Restricted Refinery Markets

Heavier, higher-sulfur crudes are accepted by fewer refineries and often at a value discount.

ONE TECHNOLOGY. TWO HIGH-VALUE APPLICATIONS.

Heavy & Extra-Heavy Crude Upgrading

Improve crude quality, lower viscosity, and reduce or potentially eliminate diluent dependency to create a more marketable crude. Primary market focus: Venezuela and other Orinoco-type heavy-crude regions.

VTAE & Refinery Residual Upgrading

Convert lower-value refinery residuals such as VTAE into higher-value streams, including VGO and fuel fractions for downstream processing.
THE REEC PROCESS

MTF’s Catalytic Upgrading Technology.

A proven, integrated process that transforms hydrogen from water to hydrocarbons at atmospheric pressure, upgrading heavy molecules to higher-value products.
