In the pour point depressant for crude oil transportation disclosed herein, the long-chain alkyl group in the first component is a hydrophobic group, and the polyoxyethylene chain is a hydrophilic group. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups act synergistically to interfere with the formation and growth of wax in the crude oil, thereby lowering the pour point of the crude oil.

[0014] 3. The pour point depressant for crude oil transportation disclosed herein is a covalently grafted product of a terpolymer of oleic acid, long-chain α-olefins, and methacrylamide onto graphene oxide. Its molecules can insert into the wax crystal lattice, disrupting the regular arrangement of the wax crystals, destroying the ordered crystal structure, and reducing interactions and entanglement between the wax crystals, thereby lowering the pour point of crude oil.

The pour point depressant suitable for crude oil transportation disclosed herein comprises a third component, a terpolymer of acrylate, fumaric acid, and vinyl acetate, exhibiting a comb-like structure. The carbon chain lengths of its main and side chains are similar to those of paraffin wax. This alters the crystallization of paraffin wax in crude oil, making it less likely to form a spatial network structure and significantly lowering the pour point of the crude oil. Nanosilica weakens the structural strength of wax crystals, improving the low-temperature fluidity of waxy crude oil, enhancing its dynamic and static aging stability, and increasing its shear resistance, significantly enhancing the product's performance and timeliness, making it suitable for transportation requirements.

[0016] 5. In the pour point depressant for transporting crude oil of the present application, the fourth component can increase the interaction between the pour point depressant and the crude oil, thereby improving the pour point depressant effect of the pour point depressant.
