Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantage is that the wax removal and control system only has one kind of wax control bacteria, and the optimum growth temperature is 37°C, which cannot adapt to the temperature change from the wellhead to the bottom of the well, which affects the wax removal and control effect

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular relates to a method for removing and preventing wax by microbes in waxy oil wells. The method specifically includes the following steps: screening of test oil wells; determination of the temperature range of low, medium and high temperature strains; screening of low, medium and high temperature strains; determination of compound performance of low, medium and high temperature strains; The determination of the on-site dosing ratio, the total dosage and the dosing cycle; the field test and the evaluation of the effect. The invention has the advantages of simple process, strong operability and good field test effect, effectively prolongs the hot cleaning cycle by more than 200 days, saves more than 5 hot cleaning times per year on average for a single well, and has an input-output ratio greater than 1:5. Therefore, the present invention can be widely used in the wax removal and prevention operations of high waxy oil wells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular relates to a method for removing and preventing wax by microbes in waxy oil wells. Background technique [0002] During oil production, as the wellbore temperature and pressure drop, the waxy components in crude oil will precipitate, grow and deposit in the tubing, which will lead to wax formation in the oil well and seriously affect the normal production of the oil well. Therefore, effective measures must be taken to control oil well wax deposition. [0003] At present, the methods for controlling wax deposition in oil wells mainly include physical methods, chemical methods, and microbial wax removal and prevention methods. However, the physical method has the disadvantages of high cost and great damage to the oil pipe; the chemical method (mainly including chemical wax remover and chemical wax inhibitor) has the disadvantages of large dosage, high cost, and poor ...
