Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a pipeline crude oil pour point depressant, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of oilfield chemical technology. Background Technology

[0002] Crude oil is an important petroleum resource, containing large amounts of easily crystallizing substances such as gums, asphaltenes, and paraffin wax. Newly extracted crude oil has increasingly higher pour point, wax content, and viscosity. During crude oil transportation, when the transportation temperature drops to the crude oil's wax precipitation point, it begins to crystallize. If the temperature drops further, the amount of crystallized crude oil increases, eventually causing it to lose its fluidity and solidify on the pipe wall. This poses significant challenges to crude oil extraction and transportation.

[0003] Pour point depressants, as commonly used chemical additives, are widely used in crude oil extraction and transportation to effectively improve crude oil fluidity and reduce transportation costs and risks. Commonly used crude oil pour point depressants mainly include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, and acrylate polymers. For example, Chinese invention patent CN105567353B discloses a modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer pour point depressant: a surface-polymerized ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is then mixed with polycaprolactone to obtain this product. While these pour point depressants have proven effective in some regions, the differences in crude oil composition across regions lead to selectivity in pour point depressant application. Single-type pour point depressants have poor applicability and are difficult to meet pour point requirements, thus limiting the use of existing crude oil pour point depressants and hindering large-scale application. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline crude oil pour point depressant, its preparation method, and its application, thereby solving the limitations of single-component pour point depressants, expanding their application range, significantly reducing the pour point of crude oil, effectively improving the low-temperature fluidity of crude oil, and making high-pour-point crude oil easier to mine and transport.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] According to one aspect of this application, a pipeline crude oil pour point depressant is provided, comprising a first component, a second component, a third component, and a fourth component;

Then, the quaternary copolymer of maleic anhydride, vinyl imidazole, acrylamide and methacrylate is mixed with amine and subjected to an amination reaction at 100-160°C. Then, the unreacted monomers are removed by hot washing with a methanol and water mixture in a weight ratio of 1:1 at 60-80°C. Then, the solvent is removed by vacuuming at 140-160°C to obtain the second component.

[0018] (3) Add Gelbert alcohol and catalyst to a high-pressure reactor, heat to 110-130°C, and introduce propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to react.

[0031] The catalyst is added in an amount of 0.3 to 0.6 wt%.

[0032] According to another aspect of this application, the application of any of the above-described pipeline crude oil pour point depressants in lowering the pour point of crude oil is provided, wherein the dosage of the pipeline crude oil pour point depressant is 1700-1900 ppm.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this application include, but are not limited to:

[0034] 1. The pipeline crude oil pour point depressant of this application has a first component, a second component, a third component, and a fourth component that work synergistically to solve the limitations of single-component pour point depressants. A small amount of addition can greatly reduce the pour point of crude oil and improve its low-temperature fluidity, making it easier to extract and transport.

[0035] 2. The pipeline crude oil pour point depressant of this application utilizes acrylate to appropriately modify the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The first component has a uniformly distributed polar portion, and its long-chain structure can interact with wax crystals in high-pour-point crude oil. Secondly, the acrylate structure has strong polarity, which can better adjust the wax crystal structure and reduce the pour point of crude oil.

[0036] 3. The pipeline crude oil pour point depressant of this application is an amination product of a quaternary copolymer of maleic anhydride, vinylimidazole, acrylamide and methacrylate. It has a comb-like structure, and the lengths of its main chain and branched carbon chains are similar to the lengths of paraffin carbon chains. This can change the crystallization state of paraffin in crude oil, making it less likely to form a spatial network structure, and significantly reducing the pour point of crude oil.

[0037] 4. The pipeline crude oil pour point depressant of this application contains polar ether bonds in the polyether compounds of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and Guerbert alcohol, which can be adsorbed on the surface of wax crystals, preventing wax molecules from further agglomerating to form large particles of crystals, and keeping the wax crystals in a fine and dispersed state; its molecules can insert into the lattice of wax crystals, interfere with the regular arrangement of wax crystals, destroy the ordered crystal structure, reduce the interaction and entanglement between wax crystals, thereby lowering the pour point of crude oil.

[0038] 5. The pipeline crude oil pour point depressant of this application, including polymethylsilsesquioxane, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyisobutylene succinic anhydride derivative, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, can increase the interaction between the pour point depressant and crude oil, thereby improving the pour point depressant effect.
