Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of asphaltene stabilizers, and in particular to a stabilizer for stably dispersing heavy oil asphaltene at high temperature and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Asphaltene is the component with the largest molecular weight, the strongest polarity, and the most complex structure in heavy oil. It is also the component with the largest intermolecular force and the most unstable in heavy oil. When the ambient temperature, pressure, or oil composition of the heavy oil changes, the stability of asphaltene is easily destroyed and flocculated and deposited. In the process of oil extraction, storage, transportation, and processing, asphaltene deposition will cause pipeline scaling, storage deposition, equipment blockage and coking, which has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency in related industries.

[0003] Adding asphaltene stabilizer can delay or inhibit the precipitation of asphaltene into the "second liquid phase", or make asphaltene evenly dispersed in the oil phase to form an asphaltene suspension, which is one of the most economical and effective methods to solve asphaltene deposition. The structure of asphaltene stabilizer generally contains polar groups or aromatic groups and non-polar groups. Polar groups usually include hydroxyl, sulfonic acid, carboxyl, amine, and amide, and non-polar groups are generally long-chain alkyl groups. Polar groups or aromatic groups form hydrogen bonds, π-π, acid-base interactions, dipole interactions, etc. with asphaltene molecules or aggregates, while long alkyl chains play a certain role in entanglement, blocking, and thus weakening or preventing the aggregation of asphaltene molecules. There are many types of asphaltene stabilizers currently developed, including small molecule surfactant type, non-polymer type, ionic liquid and high molecular polymer type. However, most asphaltene stabilizers can only be used in mining and storage at room temperature, and there are few related research reports on asphaltene stabilizers at high temperatures. Therefore, the development of high-temperature asphaltene stabilizers has broad application prospects.

[0004] Chinese patent CN108117867A relates to a method for synthesizing and purifying a petroleum asphaltene stabilizer used in the process of petroleum blending and dilution. First, the reactants 3-aminophenylboronic acid or 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and polyisobutylene succinic anhydride are dissolved in an aromatic solvent, reacted under the action of zinc perchlorate catalyst at 110°C-140°C, and then subjected to water-organic solvent extraction, reduced pressure distillation and vacuum drying to obtain an asphaltene stabilizer. The preparation process of this patent requires catalytic reaction, extraction, distillation and drying, which has high preparation costs, and the polar group types in the structure of the obtained asphaltene stabilizer are single, and there are fewer action sites with asphaltene. At the same time, the asphaltene stabilizer has poor thermal stability. If it is added to the oil product after residual oil hydrogenation at 150°C-300°C, it will decompose, and it cannot achieve the purpose of preventing the oil product from aggregating and clogging in the pipeline and equipment after thermal high separation.

[0005] Chinese patent CN107629776A discloses a method for synthesizing and purifying a heavy oil asphaltene stabilizer used in the process of heavy oil blending and dilution. First, reactants such as polyisobutylene succinic anhydride and aniline dissolved in an aromatic solvent react for 3h-9h at 100℃-150℃ and under the action of catalyst zinc perchlorate; the mixture after the reaction is then subjected to water-organic solvent extraction, reduced pressure distillation and vacuum drying to obtain an asphaltene stabilizer. The preparation process of this patent requires the process of catalytic reaction, extraction, distillation and drying, which has high preparation costs, and the polar group type in the structure of the obtained asphaltene stabilizer is single, and it has fewer action sites with asphaltene. At the same time, the asphaltene stabilizer has poor thermal stability. If it is added to the oil product after residual oil hydrogenation at 150℃~300℃, it will decompose, and it cannot achieve the purpose of preventing the oil product from aggregating and clogging in the pipeline and equipment after thermal high separation.

[0006] Chinese patent CN114196391A discloses an acid liquid system for asphaltene reservoirs and its preparation method, which belongs to the field of petroleum extraction. The acid liquid system includes the following components in mass percentage: hydrochloric acid 12%-20%, polyacrylamide thickener 0.3%-0.6%, fluorocarbon drainage agent 0.5%-2%, aldehyde ketone amine condensate corrosion inhibitor 1%-3%, iron ion stabilizer 0.5%-2%, asphaltene dissolving dispersant 10%-30%, and the balance is water. The acid liquid system for asphaltene reservoirs is suitable for the acidification of asphaltene reservoirs, especially the acidification of asphaltene carbonate reservoirs, and can dissolve and disperse the asphaltene in the reservoir to obtain a good acidification effect. The patent introduces components such as hydrochloric acid, which are acidic overall. If added after the residue hydrogenation reactor, it will cause corrosion to the subsequent pipelines and reduce the operating life of the device.

[0007] Chinese patent CN111334250A discloses a heavy oil asphaltene stabilizer composition and its preparation method, the composition comprises at least two components: component A, one or more of the group consisting of N, N-dimethylamide, alkyl pyrrolidone and polyisobutylene succinimide; component B, organic amine compounds containing boric acid groups; component C, one or more of the group consisting of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, alkylaminophenylboric acid and oleic acid; component D, span-80; component E, p-alkylaniline and / or m-alkylaniline. The asphaltene stabilizer in the patent has a good effect at room temperature, but poor thermal stability. If it is added to the oil product after residual oil hydrogenation at 150℃ to 300℃, it will decompose, and it cannot achieve the purpose of preventing the oil product from agglomerating and clogging in the pipeline and equipment after thermal high separation.
