Abstract

The invention provides a method for reducing the viscosity of crude oil, which comprises the following steps: injecting water into the crude oil and adding a catalyst and an oxidant, then mixing the mixture evenly. By oxidating a part of the crude oil by a catalytic oxidation method, the method reduces the relative molecular mass of the crude oil, thereby reducing the viscosity of the crude oil, ensuring that the crude oil is easy to be displaced, and further increasing the recovery ratio.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for reducing the viscosity of crude oil, in particular to a method for reducing the viscosity of crude oil through a catalytic oxidation method so as to increase the recovery rate of crude oil. Background technique [0002] The discovery of oil led to the development of oil recovery technology, and the contradiction between supply and demand of oil promoted the development of oil recovery technology. Based on the primary oil recovery technology relying on natural energy, the secondary oil recovery technology of water injection and gas injection has been developed, which has improved the oil recovery rate to a certain extent. However, after secondary oil recovery, the remaining crude oil in the oil layer has a high viscosity and is adsorbed in the pores of sandstone particles or in the cracks and cavities of the formation. It is difficult to be displaced only by water injection and gas injection, and this part of crude ...
