Abstract As well-known the rate of heat extraction depends on the thermal conductivity, Q = − 𝜆(T)grad T  , and the fluids flow characteristics, while amounts of heat recovery depends on heat capacity of reservoir rocks, Q = (1 − 𝜙)𝜌CP T  , where 𝜙 is the porosity. In the present work the laser-flash (LFA 457) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC 204 F1) techniques were employed on a heavy oil saturated natural rock sample for accurate measurements of the thermal diffusivity and heat capacity over a temperature range from (294 to 1024) K and from (306 to 771) K, respectively. The density of the sample at room temperature was 2300 kg m−3 and the porosity was 17.1%. The sample for the present study comes from Russian Oil Field (Eastern Siberia, Russia). The expanded uncertainty of the thermal diffusivity and heat capacity measurements at the 95% confidence level with a coverage factor of k = 2 is estimated to be 3% and 1%, respectively. At low temperatures (below approximately 373 K), the sharp increases (up to η = 2.3) of the thermal diffusivity anisotropy was observed. Based on the measured thermal diffusivity and heat-capacity data, thermal conductivity of the same oil saturated rock sample was calculated using the thermodynamic relation 𝜆 = a𝜌CP . The effect of temperature and various physical and chemical processes, such as thermal decomposition (chemical reactions) of pore heavy oil occurred in the sample during the heating in distinct temperature ranges were studied. The effect of pore heavy oil decomposition (under thermal stress) on the measured values of heat capacity and other thermophysical properties of rock sample at high temperatures (around 700 K) was experimentally observed. Also, we experimentally found weak temperature maximum of the heat-capacity of the sample under study in the low temperature range (around 380 K).
