Abstract

The invention discloses a thick oil viscosity reducing agent prepared from a microbial surfactant and a preparation method thereof and relates to the technical field of the petrochemical industry. Thethick oil viscosity reducing agent comprises, by weight, 30-80% of a lipopeptide alcohol solution, 0.5-5% of an anionic surfactant, 0.5-10% of a non-ionic surfactant and the balance of an alcohol solvent. The preparation method comprises carrying out microbial fermentation to obtain a lipopeptide product as a surfactant ingredient and carrying out compounding to obtain the thick oil viscosity reducing agent. Compared with the existing viscosity reducing agent, the thick oil viscosity reducing agent has the characteristics of strong salt resistance, high temperature resistance, effective reduction of interfacial tension of oil and water and reduction of surface tension, has thick oil viscosity reducing effects of 80% to 95%, is safe and environmentally friendly and can effectively reduce acost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of petrochemical technology, in particular to a preparation method of a heavy oil viscosity reducer using a microbial surfactant. Background technique [0002] As a kind of unconventional crude oil, heavy oil accounts for more than 20% of the world's proven crude oil reserves. As the output of light crude oil continues to decrease and the demand for petroleum energy resources increases year by year, it is more urgent to exploit heavy oil to fill the gap. Heavy oil contains a large amount of colloids, asphaltenes and a small amount of wax, resulting in high viscosity and poor fluidity, which brings great difficulties to the exploitation, gathering and transportation of heavy oil. [0003] The research on biosurfactants was first seen in 1946. ZoBell proposed that the surfactant produced by microorganisms is one of the important mechanisms for microorganisms to enhance oil recovery. After the 1960s, the research on the...
