Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum extraction and relates to a comb-shaped demulsifier for demulsifying high-solid crude oil and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The properties of produced fluids during the high water content development period of oil fields have undergone major changes. The speed of oil-water separation has slowed down significantly, the water content of emulsified oil has increased, the oil content of wastewater has increased, and the difficulty of producing fluid treatment has increased. The produced fluid has changed from the previous water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion to water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion, and the specific gravity is getting larger and larger. It is necessary to demulsify the produced water to recover the crude oil.

[0003] The crude oil emulsion has changed from mainly oil-in-water emulsion to water-in-oil emulsion, which has increased the difficulty of crude oil demulsification and dehydration, and also caused great changes in the composition structure and demulsification mechanism of crude oil demulsifiers. Crude oil demulsifiers should have strong surface activity, good wetting properties, sufficient flocculation ability and good aggregation effect.

[0004] CN101113028A discloses a preparation method of a demulsifying purifier, characterized in that it is composed of the following raw materials in weight percentage: 2% to 68% of sewage, 2% to 37% of polyferric sulfate, 5% to 45% of polyaluminium chloride, 6% to 57% of anhydrous calcium chloride, and 19% to 47% of ferric chloride; the preparation method is: put sewage, polyferric sulfate and polyaluminium chloride into a mixer, then pour in anhydrous calcium chloride and add 50% of water of the sum of the four raw materials, stir fully, stir at a speed of 60 revolutions per minute, ensure that the solid components are completely dissolved, and keep for 2-3 hours; then add ferric chloride and continue stirring, stirring at a speed of 50-80 revolutions per minute, for half an hour to 1 hour, stop for 6-10 hours, filter and pack into product packaging barrels. The invention has the advantages of good sewage treatment effect and small investment. The dosage of the agent of the invention is 300-500 mg / L. Such a large dosage not only increases the production cost, but also produces a large amount of scum. In addition, a large amount of soluble inorganic salts are introduced into the water body, which also causes secondary pollution.

[0005] CN109575984A discloses a crude oil demulsifier for normal low temperature, which consists of: 10-50% by mass of silicone polyether with a viscosity of 200-300cSt, an HLB value of 7-10, and a closed cup flash point greater than 60°C; and 50-90% by mass of a mixture of one or more as a solvent. The silicone polyether in the composition of the crude oil demulsifier has different structures and molecular weight distributions, and has a highly efficient oil-water demulsification effect. Siloxane has low surface tension, low cohesive energy, and low temperature sensitivity, and can achieve demulsification at a low temperature of 30°C. The amount added is reduced by more than 50% compared to the use of polyether surfactants alone, and the dehydration rate is fast, the demulsification effect is good, and the overall cost is reduced. The crude oil dehydration rate of the demulsifier of the invention is only 40% at 120 minutes, which cannot meet production needs, and the dehydration effect needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a comb-shaped demulsifier for high-solid crude oil demulsification and a preparation method thereof in view of the deficiencies of the prior art.
