The results of experiments on the oxidation of viscous oil deposits by atmospheric oxygen in the presence of oxidation catalyst and at temperatures and pressures close to the reservoir conditions are presented. Decreasing of density and viscosity of converted oil, increasing of oil and asphaltene content and emergence of high-molecular n-alkanes are revealed.
