DESCRIPCIÓN OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se encuadra en el sector petrolero específicamente dentro de los periodos de explotación de un yacimiento petrolero en la etapa denominada recuperación terciaria o mejorada del petróleo. Esta etapa de recuperación mejorada da lugar a la implementación de tecnologías como: la aplicación industrial del Catalizador Enzimático constituido de Hongos Entomopatogenos Recombinados para Disminuir la Viscosidad de los Crudos Pesados y Extrapesados.
The present invention falls within the oil sector specifically within the periods of exploitation of an oil field at the stage called tertiary or improved oil recovery. This stage of improved recovery leads to the implementation of technologies such as: the industrial application of the Enzyme Catalyst constituted of Entomopathogenic Fungi Fungi to Decrease the Viscosity of Heavy and Extra Heavy Crudes.
En México las regiones productoras más importantes de este tipo de petróleo crudo se encuentran en: Activo Altamira y Región Marina Noroeste. Más concretamente con la aplicación del Catalizador Enzimático constituido de Hongos Entomopatogenos Recombinados para Disminuir la Viscosidad de los Crudos Pesados y Extrapesados está previsto que a través de su actuación directamente inyectado de forma intermitente hacia el crudo pesado o extrapesado se determinará un sistema petrolero más eficiente adecuándonos en parámetros internacionales, como los del Instituto Americano del Petróleo (API) que diferencian sus cualidades y, por tanto, su valor. Así, entre más grados API tenga un petróleo, mejor es su calidad y sus procesos aumentan su eficacia y eficiencia. In Mexico the most important producing regions of this type of crude oil are in: Active Altamira and Marina Noroeste Region. More specifically, with the application of the Enzymatic Catalyst consisting of Recombinant Entomopathogenic Fungi to Decrease the Viscosity of Heavy and Extra Heavy Crudes, it is foreseen that through its action directly injected intermittently towards heavy or extra heavy crude oil, a more efficient oil system will be determined by adapting in international parameters, such as those of the American Petroleum Institute (API) that differentiate their qualities and, therefore, their value. Thus, the more API grades an oil has, the better its quality and its processes increase its effectiveness and efficiency.
ANTECEDENTES BACKGROUND
Dada la situación actual en el mercado de precios del petróleo, la recuperación mejorada por métodos químicos se constituye en una de las principales vías para aumentar el factor de recobro en los yacimientos. Es por ello que deben mantenerse los esfuerzos para desarrollar formulaciones que operen en un amplio intervalo de condiciones de yacimiento y con una relación costo/efectividad adecuada que permitan su aplicación.
Given the current situation in the oil price market, the recovery improved by chemical methods is one of the main ways to increase the recovery factor in the deposits. That is why efforts must be maintained to develop formulations that operate in a wide range of reservoir conditions and with an adequate cost / effectiveness that allow their application.
La merma del suministro de petróleo, los altos precios de la energía y la necesidad de restituir las reservas, están incentivando a las compañías petroleras a invertir en yacimientos de petróleo pesado. Los petróleos pesados y viscosos presentan desafíos en el análisis de fluidos y obstáculos para la recuperación, que están siendo superados con la nueva tecnología y las modificaciones de los métodos desarrollo dos para los petróleos convencionales. The decline in oil supply, high energy prices and the need to restore reserves are encouraging oil companies to invest in heavy oil fields. Heavy and viscous oils present challenges in the analysis of fluids and obstacles to recovery, which are being overcome with new technology and the modifications of the two developed methods for conventional oils.
El crudo extrapesado (CXP), contiene altas concentraciones de asfáltenos, resinas, heteroátomos tales como: nitrógeno, azufre y oxígeno(N,S,0) así como varios metales, particularmente níquel y vanadio. Extra heavy oil (CXP), contains high concentrations of asphaltenes, resins, heteroatoms such as: nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen (N, S, 0) as well as various metals, particularly nickel and vanadium.
Las resinas y los asfáltenos constituyen las fracciones más polares y de mayor peso molecular en este tipo de crudo, siendo responsables de su alta densidad(8-10°API) y viscosidad, lo cual dificulta su extracción, transporte y refinación por métodos convencionales.
Resins and asphaltenes are the most polar and molecular weight fractions in this type of crude, being responsible for their high density (8-10 ° API) and viscosity, which makes their extraction, transport and refining difficult by conventional methods.
Por otra parte, la disminución de las reservas de crudo convencional, es un factor que estimula el desarrollo de un proceso biotecnológico que logre la transformación del crudo extrapesado en un crudo comerciable y de fácil refinación, reduciéndose, de esta manera, la contaminación ambiental, el consumo de energía en los procesos y la obtención de productos de mejor calidad. On the other hand, the decrease in conventional crude oil reserves is a factor that stimulates the development of a biotechnological process that achieves the transformation of extra-heavy crude into a marketable and easily refined crude oil, thus reducing environmental pollution, the energy consumption in the processes and the obtaining of better quality products.
La mayor parte de los recursos de petróleo del mundo corresponde a hidrocarburos viscosos y pesados, que son difíciles y caros de producir y refinar. Por lo general, mientras más pesado o denso es el petróleo crudo, menor es su valor económico. Most of the world's oil resources correspond to viscous and heavy hydrocarbons, which are difficult and expensive to produce and refine. Generally, the heavier or denser the crude oil, the lower its economic value.
Las fracciones de crudo más livianas y menos densas, derivadas del proceso de destilación simple, son las más valiosas. Los crudos pesados tienden a poseer mayores concentraciones de metales y otros elementos, lo que exige más esfuerzos y erogaciones para la extracción de productos utilizables y la disposición final de los residuos.
The lighter and less dense crude fractions, derived from the simple distillation process, are the most valuable. Heavy crudes tend to have higher concentrations of metals and other elements, which requires more efforts and expenditures for the extraction of usable products and the final disposal of waste.
Con la gran demanda y los altos precios del petróleo, y estando en declinación la producción de la mayoría de los yacimientos de petróleo convencionales, la atención de la industria en muchos lugares del mundo se está desplazando hacia la explotación de petróleo pesado. With the high demand and high oil prices, and the production of most conventional oil fields declining, industry attention in many parts of the world is shifting to heavy oil exploitation.
El petróleo pesado se define como petróleo con 22.3° API o menor densidad. Los petróleos de 10° API o menor densidad se conocen como extrapesados, ultrapesados o superpesados porque son más densos que el agua. Comparativamente, los petróleos convencionales, tales como el crudo Brent o West Texas Intermedíate, poseen densidades que oscilan entre 38° y 40°API. Heavy oil is defined as oil with 22.3 ° API or lower density. The oils of 10 ° API or lower density are known as extra heavy, ultra heavy or super heavy because they are denser than water. Comparatively, conventional oils, such as Brent crude oil or West Texas Intermediate, have densities ranging between 38 ° and 40 ° API.
El total de recursos de petróleo del mundo es de aproximadamente 9 a13 xThe world's total oil resources is approximately 9 to 13 x
1012 (trillones) de barriles [1 .4 a 2.1 trillones de m3]. El petróleo convencional representa sólo un 30% aproximadamente de ese total, correspondiendo el resto a petróleo pesado, extrapesado y bitumen.
1012 (trillion) barrels [1 .4 to 2.1 trillion m3]. Conventional oil represents only about 30% of that total, the rest corresponding to heavy, extra heavy and bitumen oil.
El petróleo pesado promete desempeñar un rol muy importante en el futuro de la industria petrolera y muchos países están tendiendo a incrementar su producción, revisar las estimaciones de reservas, comprobar las nuevas tecnologías e invertir en infraestructura, para asegurarse de no dejar atrás sus recursos de petróleo pesado. Heavy oil promises to play a very important role in the future of the oil industry and many countries are tending to increase their production, review reserve estimates, check new technologies and invest in infrastructure, to ensure that they do not leave their resources behind. heavy oil
Actualmente existen entre los métodos cuyo propósito es mejorar la eficiencia del desplazamiento mediante una reducción de las fuerzas capilares del crudo pesado y extrapesado las siguientes opciones; se cita la utilización de solventes miscibles con el crudo y la obtención de baja tensión interfacial con soluciones de surfactantes o soluciones alcalinas. Currently there are among the methods whose purpose is to improve displacement efficiency by reducing the capillary forces of heavy and extra heavy crude oil the following options; the use of solvents miscible with crude oil and obtaining low interfacial tension with surfactant solutions or alkaline solutions are cited.
Para mejorar la eficiencia de barrido se puede reducir la viscosidad del crudo mediante calentamiento, aumentar la viscosidad del agua con polímeros hidrosolubles, o taponar los caminos preferenciales por ejemplo con espumas.
To improve the scanning efficiency, the viscosity of the oil can be reduced by heating, increasing the viscosity of the water with water-soluble polymers, or plugging the preferential paths, for example, with foams.
Los métodos que actualmente están propuestos y dispuestos para la recuperación mejorada involucran uno o varios de estos aspectos. En lo que se refiere a la utilización de surfactantes, se destacan los siguientes: The methods that are currently proposed and arranged for improved recovery involve one or more of these aspects. With regard to the use of surfactants, the following stand out:
- Drenaje miscible con micro emulsiones - Miscible drainage with micro emulsions
- Drenaje inmiscible con soluciones de surfactantes y polímeros (y a veces álcali) - Immiscible drainage with solutions of surfactants and polymers (and sometimes alkali)
- Inyección de vapor con surfactante - espumas, entre otros. - Steam injection with surfactant - foams, among others.
Los productores de petróleo que invierten en la recuperación de petróleo pesado enfrentan retos de producción especiales. Sin embargo, las técnicas innovadoras de perforación, terminación, estimulación y vigilancia rutinaria de pozos contribuyen para que los yacimientos de petróleo pesado se conviertan en activos rentables.

Oil producers who invest in heavy oil recovery face special production challenges. However, innovative drilling, completion, stimulation and routine monitoring techniques contribute to heavy oil deposits becoming profitable assets.

Escenarios ideales y reales para el movimiento del vapor inyectado. Idealmente, el vapor se eleva desde los disparos (cañoneos, perforaciones, punzados) en el pozo inyector hasta que alcanza una barrera impermeable, luego se distribuye lateralmente hacia los pozos productores hasta que irrumpe en los mismos. Ideal and real scenarios for the movement of injected steam. Ideally, the steam rises from the shots (cannons, perforations, punctures) in the injector well until it reaches an impermeable barrier, then it is distributed laterally to the producing wells until it bursts into them.
Después, el volumen de vapor se desplaza hacia abajo a medida que el petróleo es producido por drenaje gravitacional. Más comúnmente, las complejidades del yacimiento y del pozo causan que el vapor viaje a lo largo de trayectorias desconocidas. Then, the volume of steam moves down as the oil is produced by gravitational drainage. More commonly, the complexities of the reservoir and the well cause steam to travel along unknown paths.
Estas complejidades incluyen barreras discontinuas de limolita, que permiten contactos entre las areniscas, las cuales actúan como conductos a zonas productivas superiores tareas de cementación inadecuadas y aislamiento zonal incompleto; el influjo de agua, que requiere altos volúmenes de vapor para elevar la temperatura y el contacto con areniscas llenas de aire, que provocan altas pérdidas de calor.
La alta viscosidad del petróleo pesado aumenta las dificultades de transporte y de obtención de productos comerciables, requiere técnicas de refinamientos especiales y por ende más costosas. These complexities include discontinuous limolite barriers, which allow contacts between sandstones, which act as conduits to higher productive areas, inadequate cementation tasks and incomplete zonal isolation; the influx of water, which requires high volumes of steam to raise the temperature and contact with sandstones filled with air, which cause high heat losses. The high viscosity of heavy oil increases the difficulties of transport and obtaining tradable products, requires special refining techniques and therefore more expensive.
El valor de la tecnología depende de su habilidad para reducir el costo total. Debido a que la mayoría de los campos de petróleo pesado son someros, los costos de perforación no han constituido el factor dominante, pero el uso creciente de pozos horizontales y multilaterales complejos está introduciendo algunos costos en esta etapa del desarrollo. The value of technology depends on your ability to reduce the total cost. Because most of the heavy oil fields are shallow, drilling costs have not been the dominant factor, but the increasing use of complex horizontal and multilateral wells is introducing some costs at this stage of development.

Venezuela presenta la acumulación de petróleo pesado más grande del mundo El primer campo venezolano importante de petróleo pesado, Mene Grande, se descubrió en 1914. Las areniscas someras que se encuentran a 168[550pies] de profundidad, produjeron petróleo de10.5°API, con regímenesdehasta42rr)3/d/pozo [264B/D] por pozo. Venezuela presents the largest heavy oil accumulation in the world The first important Venezuelan heavy oil field, Mene Grande, was discovered in 1914. Shallow sandstones that are 168 [550ft] deep, produced 10.5 ° API oil, with regimes of up to 42rr) 3 / d / well [264B / D] per well.
La inyección de vapor se probó en Mene Grande en 1956, pero el vapor de la formación somera irrumpió en las superficie. La prueba se detuvo, y cuando los pozos inyectores se abrieron para liberar la presión, produjeron petróleo. The steam injection was tested at Mene Grande in 1956, but the steam from the shallow formation broke into the surface. The test stopped, and when the injection wells opened to release the pressure, they produced oil.
Esto condujo al descubrimiento fortuito de los beneficios de la inyección cíclica de vapor; técnica a veces denominada huff and puffo de empapado con vapor (steam-soak). Venezuela posee muchos yacimientos de petróleo pesado, siendo el más importante el depósito de petróleo pesado y ultrapasado más grande del mundo; la Faja del Orinocode55,000 km2[21 ,240millascuadradas](abajo).
Un pozo descubridor del año 1935 produjo crudo de 7° API a razón de 6m3/d[40B/D], pero la Faja no se estudió en detalle hasta1968. This led to the fortuitous discovery of the benefits of cyclic steam injection; technique sometimes called steam-soak huff and puffo. Venezuela has many heavy oil fields, the largest of which is the largest heavy and ultrapassed oil deposit in the world; the Orinocode Belt 55,000 km2 [21, 240 square miles] (below). A discovery well from 1935 produced 7 ° API crude at a rate of 6m 3 / d [40B / D], but the Belt was not studied in detail until 1968.
Estos estudios condujeron a Petróleos de Venezuela S.A (PDVSA) a realizar una importante campaña de cinco años, durante la cual se evaluaron varias técnicas de producción en frío y caliente. Se comprobó que las propiedades del yacimiento eran típicas de areniscas someras, no consolidadas de petróleo pesado. These studies led Petróleos de Venezuela S.A (PDVSA) to carry out an important five-year campaign, during which several hot and cold production techniques were evaluated. The properties of the deposit were found to be typical of shallow, unconsolidated heavy oil sandstones.
Las estimaciones originales indicaron que no más del 5% del petróleo de 7 a 10°API originalmente en sitio podría recuperarse sin calentamiento. The original estimates indicated that no more than 5% of the 7-10th API oil originally on site could be recovered without heating.
Afines de la década de 1980, el costo de calentamiento no favoreció la viabilidad comercial de desarrollar la Faja. Goncepto del drenaje gravitacional asistido por vapor (SAGD, por sus siglas en inglés). Los pozos horizontales perforados en pares apilados constituyen la unidad básica del proyecto SAGD. El vapor inyectado dentro del pozo superior derrite el petróleo circundante (abajo).
La fuerza de gravedad provoca que el petróleo movilizado fluya hacia el pozo inferior para su producción. Los pares de pozos SAGD se pueden perforar para seguirlas características sedimentarias o en patrones para optimizar la recuperación. In the late 1980s, the cost of heating did not favor the commercial viability of developing the Belt. Steam aided gravitational drainage (SAGD). Horizontal wells drilled in stacked pairs constitute the basic unit of the SAGD project. The steam injected into the upper well melts the surrounding oil (below). The force of gravity causes the mobilized oil to flow into the lower well for its production. The pairs of SAGD wells can be drilled to follow sedimentary or pattern characteristics to optimize recovery.

3. Inyección de soluciones alcalinas o aditivos alcalinos combinados con mezclas de álcali-surfactante o álcali-surfactante-polímero (ASP).
La desventaja de los antecedentes de la invención propuesta es que Debido a que cada yacimiento es único en lo que se refiere a las propiedades de los crudos y del medio poroso, se deben diseñar sistemas químicos característicos para cada aplicación, es decir, se deben de valorar con parámetros las estructuras de cada pozo y esto constituye una desventaja en tiempo, esfuerzo e inversión. 3. Injection of alkaline solutions or alkaline additives combined with mixtures of alkali-surfactant or alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP). The disadvantage of the background of the proposed invention is that Because each reservoir is unique in terms of the properties of the crude and the porous medium, characteristic chemical systems must be designed for each application, that is, they must be value the structures of each well with parameters and this constitutes a disadvantage in time, effort and investment.
También representan estas opciones difíciles escenarios de decisión ya que los reactivos químicos que se emplearán, sus concentraciones en los procesos de inyección y el tamaño de los mismos, dependerán de las propiedades de los fluidos y del medio poroso de la formación, así como, de las consideraciones económicas correspondientes (PDVSA-CIED, 1998). These difficult decision scenarios also represent because the chemical reagents that will be used, their concentrations in the injection processes and their size, will depend on the properties of the fluids and the porous medium of the formation, as well as, the corresponding economic considerations (PDVSA-CIED, 1998).
Sin embargo, también mostramos como parámetro de comparación estas aplicaciones para petróleo pesado y extrapesado que sin duda quedan en desventaja con la invención propuesta que es el CATALIZADOR ENZI ÁTICO CONSTITUIDO DE HONGOS ENTOMOPATOGENOS RECOMBI NADOS PARA DISMINUIR LA VISCOCIDAD DE LOS CRUDOS PESADOS Y EXTRAPESADOS, podemos mencionar algunos criterios básicos de selección para el desarrollo de provectos de este tipo (PDVSA-CIED, 1998):
Tabla 1. Criterios básicos de selección para el desarrollo de proyectos de recuperación mejorada basado en métodos químicos. However, we also show as a comparison parameter these applications for heavy and extra-heavy oil that undoubtedly are at a disadvantage with the proposed invention that is the ENZI ATTIC CATALYST CONSTITUTED OF FUNGUS ENTHOMOPATHOGENS RECOMMENDED TO DECREASE THE VISCOCITY OF HEAVY AND EXTRAPED CRUDES, we can mention some basic selection criteria for the development of this type of project (PDVSA-CIED, 1998): Table 1. Basic selection criteria for the development of improved recovery projects based on chemical methods.
En el mercado internacional los crudos ligeros son los más cotizados porque de éstos se obtienen productos de alto valor como son los combustibles (gasolina y diesel). Bajo este paradigma los crudos pesados y extra-pesados tienden a ser de menor precio.
Por su viscosidad alta, contenidos elevados de azufre, metales y asfáltenos, y bajo rendimiento de destilados, los crudos pesados son difíciles de refinar. Este tipo de hidrocarburos es el de mayor abundancia en México. In the international market, light crudes are the most quoted because high-value products such as fuels (gasoline and diesel) are obtained from them. Under this paradigm, heavy and extra-heavy crudes tend to be of lower price. Because of its high viscosity, high sulfur, metal and asphalt contents, and low distillate performance, heavy crudes are difficult to refine. This type of hydrocarbons is the most abundant in Mexico.
Cabe mencionar que en éste ámbito, sólo investigadores del Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo, encabezados por el doctor Jorge Ancheyta, desarrollaron una tecnología que permite "aligerar" los crudos pesados y extra-pesados, incrementando su gravedad API pero sólo de 9-12 grados; a diferencia del Catalizador Enzimático constituido de Hongos Entomopatogenos Recombinados para Disminuir la Viscocidad de los Crudos Pesados y Extrapesados propuesto que tiene estándares más amplios y aplicaciones con alcances de rangos superiores. http://www.industriapetroleramexicana.com/tag/mexico/ It is worth mentioning that in this area, only researchers from the Mexican Petroleum Institute, headed by Dr. Jorge Ancheyta, developed a technology that allows "lightening" heavy and extra-heavy crudes, increasing their API severity but only 9-12 degrees; unlike the Enzyme Catalyst consisting of Recombinant Entomopathogenic Fungi to Decrease the Viscocity of Heavy and Extra Heavy Crudes that has broader standards and applications with higher range ranges. http://www.industriapetroleramexicana.com/tag/mexico/

Compared to the delayed coking technology that is currently on the market, the main advantage of IMP technology is product performance. From 100 barrels of 13 ° API crude oil, 104 barrels of improved crude oil are obtained; while with delayed coking from 100 barrels of 13 ° API crude oil, 80 barrels of improved crude oil are obtained. In comparison with the aforementioned conventional technologies, the ENZYMATIC CATALYST CONSTITUTED OF RECO BINATED ENTHOMOPATHOGEN FUNGI TO DECREASE THE VISCOCITY OF HEAVY AND EXTRAPED CRUDES represents the main advantages such as: lower investment costs and lower consumption of raw material and infrastructure for its application, In addition to a much safer and more stable operation.

-BacteriaLegionaria -Legionary bacterium
En donde la enzima (bacteria legionaria) actuará como un biocatalizador, proteína que acelera el proceso de degradación, transformación o conversión del petróleo; dichas enzimas son producidas en cantidades industriales y se cultivan en tanques llamados fermentadores. La bacteria al someterla a altas concentraciones de Nitrógeno Amoniacal, cambia, muta y transforma su sistema de proteína, lo cual favorece a que alcance altos niveles de resistencia y por lo tanto altos poderes de absorción y a su vez se modifica genéticamente al mutar el tipo de proteína con lo cual sobrevive al medio ambiente natural. Where the enzyme (legionary bacteria) will act as a biocatalyst, a protein that accelerates the process of degradation, transformation or conversion of oil; These enzymes are produced in industrial quantities and are grown in tanks called fermenters.

-Agente Tensioactivo o Surfactantes Se contempla surfactantes para la recuperación terciaria de petróleo y/o reducir la viscosidad de crudos pesados en tuberías o bombas caracterizado porque comprende piliisobutileno de 6 a 9 átomos de carbono mezclado con 1 a 50 % en peso de por lo menos un miembro del grupo formado por alcoholes etoxilados, nonilfenoles y/o polietilenglicoles, dichos Surfactantes o biotensoactivos tienen como principales funciones a nivel fisiológico, la capacidad para emulsificar y solubilizar compuestos insolubles en fases acuosas, como son los hidrocarburos, facilitando la disponibilidad de estos sustratos para el crecimiento y mantenimiento de los microorganismos.
Por lo tanto los surfactantes o biotensoactivos facilitarán el transporte del hidrocarburo a nivel de membrana, función atribuida a los biotensoactivos del tipo glicolipídico ligados a membrana celular. La principal función biológica de los biotensoactivos es su capacidad para solubilizar sustratos hidrofóbicos tales como hidrocarburos, lípidos, aceites, fármacos y otros (Morikawaef al. 1993, Zengef al. 2005). -Beau vería Bassiana Surfactant or Surfactant Agent Surfactants are contemplated for tertiary oil recovery and / or reduce the viscosity of heavy crude in pipes or pumps characterized in that it comprises piliisobutylene of 6 to 9 carbon atoms mixed with 1 to 50% by weight of at least a member of the group formed by ethoxylated alcohols, nonylphenols and / or polyethylene glycols, said Surfactants or biotensoactives have as main physiological functions the ability to emulsify and solubilize insoluble compounds in aqueous phases, such as hydrocarbons, facilitating the availability of these substrates for the growth and maintenance of microorganisms. Therefore, surfactants or biotensoactives will facilitate the transport of the hydrocarbon at the membrane level, a function attributed to the glycolipid-type biotensoactives bound to the cell membrane. The main biological function of biotensoactives is their ability to solubilize hydrophobic substrates such as hydrocarbons, lipids, oils, drugs and others (Morikawaef al. 1993, Zengef al. 2005). -Beau would see Bassiana

Su función empieza cuando sus esporas microscópicas de éste hongo se adhieren a las microparticulas del petróleo pesado y generan hidratación. En medios de cultivo específicos, la ventaja para desdoblar el petróleo es que el hongo Beauveríabassiana crece formando un moho blanquecino.

(Ying y Feng, 2004). This composition contemplates the use of active elements such as Bauveria Bassiana, which is a fungus of uteromycete that grows naturally in soils throughout the world. Its entomopathogenic power makes it capable of parasitizing insects of different species, causing the well-known white muscardine disease. It belongs to entomopathogenic fungi and is currently used as a biological insecticide or biopesticide controlling a large number of plant parasites such as caterpillars, termites, whiteflies, aphids, beetles or thysanoptera. Its function begins when its microscopic spores of this fungus adhere to the microparticles of heavy oil and generate hydration. In specific culture media, the advantage to unfold the oil is that the Beauveríabassiana fungus grows forming a whitish mold. -MetarhiziumAnisopliae The MetarrizumAnisoplae entomopathogenic fungus Metarhiziumanisopliaevar. an / sop // ae (Metsch.) Sorokin works in this composition object of the invention as a natural bioregulator, its qualities as thermal tolerance is closely related to the presence of hydrophobic proteins from the conidial cell wall, which protect the fungus from thermal stress and contribute to its adhesion to particle cuticles with extreme hardness.

-Celulasa -Cellulase
La celulasa es un polisacárido compuesto exclusivamente de moléculas de β-glucosa (desde cientos hasta varios miles de unidades), es pues un homopolisacárido. Es rígido y no es soluble en agua. La celulosa es la biomolécula orgánica más abundante ya que forma la mayor parte de la biomasa terrestre, es por esto que se complementa en el compuesto del Catalizador Enzimático constituido de Hongos Entomopatogenos Recombinados para Disminuir la Viscocidad de los Crudos Pesados y Extrapesados por su abundante y sencilla obtención.
Cabe mencionar que la celulosa tiene una estructura lineal o fibrosa, en la que se establecen múltiples puentes de hidrógeno entre los grupos hidroxilo de distintas cadenas yuxtapuestas de glucosa, haciéndolas impenetrables al agua, lo que hace que sea insoluble en agua, y originando fibras compactas que constituyen la Pared celular de las células vegetales, éstas características permiten que al momento de inyectar el compuesto CATALIZADOR ENZIMÁTICO CONSTITUIDO DE HONGOS ENTOMOPATOGENOS RECOMBINADOS PARA DISMINUIR LA VISCOCIDAD DE LOS CRUDOS PESADOS Y EXTRAPESADOS Cellulase is a polysaccharide composed exclusively of β-glucose molecules (from hundreds to several thousand units), it is thus a homopolysaccharide. It is rigid and not soluble in water. Cellulose is the most abundant organic biomolecule since it forms the majority of terrestrial biomass, which is why it is complemented by the Enzyme Catalyst compound made up of Recombinant Entomopathogenic Fungi to Decrease the Viscocity of Heavy and Extra Heavy Crudes for its abundant and simple obtaining. It should be mentioned that cellulose has a linear or fibrous structure, in which multiple hydrogen bridges are established between the hydroxyl groups of different juxtaposed glucose chains, making them impenetrable to water, which makes it insoluble in water, and causing compact fibers constituting the cell wall of plant cells, these characteristics allow that at the time of injecting the compound ENZYMATIC CATALYST CONSTITUTED OF RECOMBINED ENTHOMOPATHOGEN FUNGI TO DECREASE THE VISCOCITY OF HEAVY AND EXTRAPED CRUDES
la función de la celulasa contribuya al alineado de las cadenas de hidrocarburos componentes del aceite crudo, y como consecuencia elevando el valor de los grados API, de igual manera modificando su viscosidad. The cellulase function contributes to the alignment of the hydrocarbon chains components of the crude oil, and consequently raising the value of API grades, similarly modifying its viscosity.
