Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield chemistry, and particularly relates to a pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high pour point oil reservoirs, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] China is one of the countries with the richest high-pour-point oil resources, with known reserves reaching 50 × 10⁻⁶. 8 These high-pour-point oil reservoirs, with reserves exceeding 100 tons, account for 30-40% of the world's high-pour-point oil resources. The crude oil in these reservoirs is characterized by three highs: high wax content, high pour point, and high wax precipitation point. Wax content ranges from 10% to 57%, generally between 20% and 40%; the pour point is generally between 25 and 59 degrees Celsius, with a maximum of 67 degrees Celsius; and the wax precipitation point is generally between 40 and 74 degrees Celsius.

[0003] Currently, over 80% of high-pour-point oil reservoirs are developed using conventional cold water injection. As oilfields continue to develop and the amount of injected water increases, formation temperatures gradually decrease, crude oil undergoes significant wax precipitation, and reservoir cold damage and blockage become increasingly severe. Consequently, the water absorption index of injection wells in the reservoirs declines rapidly. Therefore, reducing the pour point of high-pour-point oil and improving its flow properties are of great significance for enhancing the recovery rate of high-pour-point oil reservoirs.

[0004] CN 115521768 A provides an oil displacement system and method for improving the oil recovery rate of high-pour-point oil reservoirs, including a microbial oil displacement system and a chemical oil displacement system. This system has a significant effect on reducing pour point, viscosity, and preventing wax precipitation in crude oil; however, the process is complex and inconvenient for field use. CN 115368884 A provides a composite oil displacement system for high-pour-point oil reservoirs, its preparation, and application. This system is highly applicable to high-pour-point oils with a wax content of 20-40 wt%, and the composite system can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension to ultra-low levels. This oil displacement system only emphasizes the ability to reduce the oil-water interfacial tension and does not mention the pour point reduction, viscosity reduction performance, or other technical indicators of high-pour-point oil. CN 110776607 A provides a method for preparing a novel active copolymer high-pour-point crude oil displacement agent using rosin amine, α-glycidyl methacrylate, N-vinylcarbazole, and acrylamide as main raw materials. This copolymer has significant pour point reduction and oil displacement capabilities for high-pour-point heavy oils, and the preparation process is reliable. However, the preparation process is relatively complex and carries certain risks, making it unsuitable for widespread application. CN115466607 A provides a microemulsion wax inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. The microemulsion wax inhibitor comprises an oil phase, fatty alcohol ether salts, fatty alcohol polyethers, fatty acid amide betaine, fatty acid diol amides, a cosolvent, and water. The invented microemulsion wax inhibitor has a high wax prevention rate and surface activity, but its maximum pour point depressant is only 8°C, which does not meet the requirements of general pour point depressants.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problems of low single-well productivity and low oil production rate in conventional waterflooding of high-pour-point oil reservoirs, there is an urgent need to develop a new pour point and viscosity reduction flooding system suitable for high-pour-point oil reservoirs. This system should take into account both pour point and viscosity reduction and efficient displacement functions, and have the characteristics of ultra-low interfacial tension and high oil washing rate, thereby significantly improving the recovery rate of high-pour-point oil reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a pour point and viscosity reducing agent for oil displacement in high pour point oil reservoirs. This agent can be effectively applied to chemical flooding of high pour point oil reservoirs with crude oil wax content ≤40%, pour point ≤55℃, formation water salinity ≤100000mg / L, and calcium and magnesium ion concentration ≤2500mg / L. Moreover, the raw materials are readily available, the process is simple, the cost is low, and it is environmentally friendly.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high pour point oil reservoirs, comprising, by mass percentage, 18%-22% nano-surfactant, 20%-24% nonionic surfactant, 15%-20% Gemini surfactant, 15% miscible solvent, and the remainder being water.

[0008] Preferably, the nanosurfactant is CA601S, a nanosurfactant with a particle size ≤200nm, commercially available from Ningbo Fengcheng Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. The nanosurfactant used exhibits good infeedability and is resistant to temperature and salt.

[0009] Preferably, the nonionic surfactant is cocoyl monoisopropanolamide (MIPA), which is purchased from Shanghai Mailun Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. It is an amidation product of coconut oil and monoisopropanolamine, and has good emulsifying and detergency capabilities, as well as good compatibility and synergistic effects with other surfactants.

[0010] Preferably, the Gemini surfactant is selected from those commercially available from Tianjin Hepfele New Material Co., Ltd. Superwet-360 wetting agent has the chemical composition of 2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-6-dodecyne-5,8-diol polyoxyethylene ether.

[0011] Preferably, the mutual solvent is ethyl acetate.

[0012] As a preferred formulation, when mixed with an aqueous phase with a salinity of 0-100000 mg / L and a total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions of 0-2500 mg / L, the interfacial tension is ≤3.1 × 10⁻⁶ mg / L, according to the general technical conditions for heavy oil viscosity reducers and displacement agents (Q / SH1020 2871-2021) and the determination of pour point of petroleum products (GB / T510-2018). -3mN / m, viscosity reduction rate ≥98.6%, oil washing rate ≥50.8%, pour point reduction range ≥16℃.

[0013] This invention provides a method for preparing a pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high-pour-point oil reservoirs according to any of the above technical solutions, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Nonionic surfactants are added to the reactor, followed by a co-solvent. After stirring evenly at 30-40℃, water is added and stirred for 30 minutes. Finally, Gemini surfactant and nano surfactant are added and stirred evenly to obtain a pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high pour point oil reservoirs.

[0015] This invention provides an application of the pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high-pour-point oil reservoirs according to any of the above technical solutions in chemical flooding of high-pour-point oil reservoirs with crude oil wax content ≤40%, pour point ≤55℃, formation water salinity 0-100000mg / L, and calcium and magnesium ion concentration ≤2500mg / L.

[0016] Preferably, the concentration of the pour point depressant and viscosity reducer used for oil displacement in high-pour-point oil reservoirs is 0.3%.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention provides a pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high-pour-point oil reservoirs. This oil displacement agent is mainly composed of a compound of nano-surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and Gemini surfactants. All three surfactants have strong emulsifying effects on high-pour-point crude oil, lowering its pour point, and exhibit significant synergistic effects. Under appropriate formulation conditions, they can reduce the interfacial tension of high-pour-point crude oil to ultra-low levels, increase capillary count, improve the fluidity of high-pour-point crude oil, and enhance oil displacement efficiency.

[0019] 2. This invention provides a pour point depressant and viscosity reducing agent for oil displacement in high-pour-point oil reservoirs, primarily applied to chemical flooding in such reservoirs. While this agent cannot inhibit the precipitation of wax crystals, it can alter their morphology, weakening their ability to form a three-dimensional network structure, thereby improving the low-temperature fluidity of the high-pour-point crude oil. Utilizing the washing function of the agent to strip crude oil from formation sands and reduce its viscosity facilitates its migration within the formation, thus increasing oil recovery. This is a highly promising oil recovery technology for developing high-pour-point oil reservoirs.

[0020] 3. The pour point depressant and viscosity reducer for oil displacement in high pour point oil reservoirs provided by this invention has a simple production process and readily available raw materials. It is harmless to the environment and personnel from production to use, meets green and environmental protection requirements, and is beneficial to on-site construction. Detailed Implementation
