Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of viscosity reducer, in particular to an active nano viscosity reducer, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the global demand for crude oil, conventional oil production has entered the twilight stage, and heavy oil production has become our focus. At present, the reserves of heavy oil are large and the content is high, and China is rich in heavy oil resources. However, compared with crude oil, heavy oil has the characteristics of high viscosity, high density and poor flowability.

[0003] The high content of colloid asphaltene is the main reason for the high viscosity of heavy oil. Asphaltene is formed under complex and variable geographical conditions, and it is a combination of high molecular weight hydrocarbons and some polar heteroatoms. Its molecular structure and relative molecular mass are uncertain. The colloid contains a large amount of ether, amine and phenolic compounds with aromatic carboxylic acid structure, so it has strong polarity. Because it contains complex chemical components with a large number of heteroatoms, and the aromaticity is smaller than that of asphaltene, so the colloid can be used as a gelling agent to prevent the aggregation of asphaltene self-association, and the colloid molecules themselves will also polymerize, thereby increasing the viscosity of heavy oil. Asphaltene is prone to sedimentation. Due to the presence of a large number of polar functional groups, it exhibits strong polarity. Under the action of hydrogen bonds, the polycyclic aromatic core of asphaltene molecules forms a complex aggregate structure through face-to-face and edge-to-face stacking, and the colloid molecules are stacked on the surface of the asphaltene particles, forming aggregated particles. These particles are also connected to each other under the action of hydrogen bonds, forming a complex aggregation structure, which makes the crude oil have high viscosity.

[0004] Common heavy oil viscosity reduction technologies include heavy oil thermal recovery, emulsification viscosity reduction, microbial viscosity reduction, heavy oil modification viscosity reduction and dilution viscosity reduction. At present, the process of heavy oil cold production viscosity reduction is simple, easy to operate and low in energy consumption, which is an urgently needed development technology. The chemical agent required for heavy oil cold production is the main research target. Active nano particles of nano materials can prevent asphaltene from forming a large viscoelastic network and reduce the viscosity of heavy oil. At present, nano viscosity reducer has not been widely used, which is the main target for current research.

[0005] Publication (announcement) No. CN116948619A discloses a heavy oil viscosity reducer and a viscosity reduction method. The chitosan solid, distilled water and acid dissolving agent are added into the mixing chamber in proportion, stirred and impurities are removed, and then the pH value is adjusted to obtain a chitosan aqueous solution. Then, the pH alkalinity regulator is added dropwise into the chitosan aqueous solution, and the pH is adjusted to 6.5-6.7. The formed chitosan flocculent precipitate can be adsorbed on the oil-water interface to form an emulsion with water as the external phase, thereby reducing the viscosity and improving the heavy oil production efficiency.

[0006] The patent (publication) No. CN116425903A discloses a preparation method of a chitosan derivative type oil-soluble viscosity reducer for thick oil, and the provided chitosan derivative type oil-soluble viscosity reducer uses natural polysaccharide material chitosan as raw material, and prepares a thick oil viscosity reducer through chemical modification and ion exchange; the provided chitosan derivative type oil-soluble viscosity reducer uses hydrophobic modification to prepare a lipophilic polymer, can reduce the amount of toxic solvent in the preparation process of the lipophilic polymer, and has the advantages of convenient product purification and high yield; the viscosity reducer can reduce the viscosity of thick oil by more than 50% at 50 DEG C.

[0007] The patent (publication) No. CN106190084B discloses a nano-composite thick oil viscosity reducer and a preparation method thereof, and the surface and pores of the synthesized MSN are modified by grafting polymerization to prepare a nano-composite material with excellent hydrophobicity, and the MSN composite material is first applied to the viscosity reduction field of high-wax thick oil. The prepared MSN composite material viscosity reducer has good viscosity reduction effect, and the viscosity reduction rate of the MSN composite material viscosity reducer for Daqing Linyuan high-wax thick oil at 40 DEG C is 70.30%, and the viscosity reduction rate of the MSN composite material viscosity reducer for Daqing Dandong station high-wax thick oil at 40 DEG C is 79.37%.

[0008] The viscosity reduction rate of the present application for thick oil at 50 DEG C is more than 85%, which is better than the above-mentioned invention.

[0162]

[0163] In the formula, f1 is the viscosity reduction rate, %;

[0164] In the formula μ A The initial viscosity of the heavy oil at 50℃ is given in mPa·s.

[0169] The results show that the active nano viscosity reducer prepared by the method can significantly reduce the viscosity of heavy oil. It can be seen that the viscosity reduction rate is above 90% when m=6 and n=4, and m=6 and n=4 are the optimal values. Among them, Example 1 is the optimal example, and Examples 10, 11 and 12 are examples with a viscosity reduction rate of more than 85%.

[0170] The viscosity reduction rates of the comparative samples synthesized without following the preparation method were all below 80%.

[0171] The active nano-thickness reducer synthesized in Example 1 was characterized by XPS, TEM, and infrared spectroscopy. The surface group composition and morphological particle size distribution of the active nano-thickness reducer were analyzed. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3.
