[0111] 1. Test site: Jinglou thickened oil joint station of Nanyang oil field in Henan

[0112] 2. Occupied area: 7.5m x 3m x 3.5m

[0113] 3. Technical parameters: water content of aging oil is 56.2%, the volume mixing ratio of aging oil and active water is 1:1, the treatment speed is 3-5m3 / h; the treatment temperature is 75-80°C; the pressure is 0.4Mpa, the active water washing agent dosage is 0.5g / L;

[0114] 4. Test results: the water content of the treated oil phase is less than 2%, and the oil content of the water phase is less than 1500 mg / L.

[0115] According to Table 1, it is shown from Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4 and Example 5 that the aged heavy oil prepared by the active water washing dehydration process of the technical solution has low water content, and the technical solution has good dehydration effect;

[0116] Comparative Example 1: The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that no hydrophilic penetrating material is added in the preparation of the active water washing agent in Comparative Example 1. The settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Comparative Example 1 is 50.5% at 45 min and 66.7% at 90 min, and the settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Example 1 is 80.1% at 45 min and 95.5% at 90 min. The experimental results show that the addition of the hydrophilic penetrating material improves the dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil.

[0117] Comparative Example 2: The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that no oleophilic penetrating material is added in the preparation of the active water washing agent in Comparative Example 1. The settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Comparative Example 2 is 51.2% at 45 min and 62.1% at 90 min, and the settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Example 1 is 80.1% at 45 min and 95.5% at 90 min. The experimental results show that the addition of the oleophilic penetrating material improves the dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil.

[0118] Comparative Example 3: The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that only a reverse demulsifier is used in the preparation of the active water washing agent in Comparative Example 1. The settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Comparative Example 3 is 34.5% at 45 min and 41.4% at 90 min, and the settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Example 1 is 80.1% at 45 min and 95.5% at 90 min. In combination with the settling dehydration rates of the aged heavy oil in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Comparative Example 3 is lower than that in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. In combination with the settling dehydration rate of the aged heavy oil in Example 1, it can be seen that the hydrophilic penetrating material and the oleophilic penetrating material have a positive synergistic effect on the dehydration of the aged heavy oil.

[0119] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change within the technical scope disclosed in the present application according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
