Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum industry technology, specifically relating to a crude oil nanocomposite anti-wax depressant, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening development of oil fields, the wax content of low-viscosity, high-pour-point crude oil transported through pipelines has gradually increased, rising from below 5% to around 10%. In spring, autumn, and winter, some pipeline sections operate at peak wax precipitation temperatures, leading to a large amount of wax crystals precipitating and a surge in wax deposits during pipeline cleaning. Furthermore, the amount of wax during cleaning is unstable and shows an increasing trend. Adding pour point depressants to crude oil causes paraffin molecules to co-crystallize and precipitate with the pour point depressant polymers when the crude oil temperature reaches or falls below the wax crystallization temperature, forming wax crystals together. While adding pour point depressants to low-volume crude oil pipelines in winter can address the issue of safe operation at the pour point, it cannot prevent the increased wax precipitation caused by operating in the peak wax precipitation zone. If not addressed promptly, this can easily lead to pipeline blockage, causing pipeline solidification and impacting oil field production. Simultaneously, wax deposits in long-distance pipelines are removed to downstream storage tanks using pipeline cleaning tools, resulting in persistently high levels of solid waste from tank cleaning.
[0003] The use of effective wax-resistant pour point depressants can reduce the amount of oily waste, thereby reducing waste disposal and transportation costs, while increasing the volume of crude oil as a commodity and improving the efficiency of crude oil sales, resulting in considerable economic benefits.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN101602941A discloses a broad-spectrum crude oil anti-wax and pour point depressant. Agent A is prepared by reacting octadecyl acrylate, docosyl methacrylate, styrene, and maleic anhydride, and Agent B is prepared by reacting 3-ethyltoluene and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. Finally, the two are mixed to obtain the anti-wax and pour point depressant, which can effectively reduce the pour point and wax precipitation point of crude oil and improve the fluidity of crude oil. It has a good anti-wax and pour point depressant effect, but the reaction temperature is high, the energy consumption is large, and the cost is high.
[0005] Another Chinese invention patent application, CN106279514A, discloses a method for preparing a diesel pour point depressant, which synthesizes a high-carbon methacrylate and maleic anhydride copolymer pour point depressant in a batch reactor. However, this pour point depressant only has a good pour point depressing effect on diesel, and the synthesis process is complex, requiring a total reaction time of 20 hours under nitrogen protection.
[0006] Another Chinese invention patent application, CN110.577828A, discloses a nanoparticle anti-wax pour point depressant for oil wells, its preparation method, and its application. The specific components of the anti-wax pour point depressant include a wax crystal modifier, an emulsifier, a penetrant, a scale remover, a diluent, and water. It can adsorb and distort wax crystals in crude oil, preventing the further formation of wax crystal structures and prolonging the paraffin precipitation time in oil wells. However, it has poor stability and weak dispersion performance for wax crystals.
[0007] The measures to reduce wax blockage in long-distance crude oil pipelines generally involve heating, which consumes a lot of energy, increases equipment investment and labor costs, and has high management costs. Currently used crude oil pour point depressants interfere with the growth of wax crystals by improving their shape, preventing wax molecules from forming a spatial network structure, thereby lowering the pour point of crude oil. However, when operating in the peak wax precipitation area, a large amount of wax crystals still precipitate.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a pipeline crude oil anti-wax depressant that is stable in performance, has excellent effect, is easy to operate, has low production cost, and is suitable for industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0102]
[0103]
[0104] For the same waxy crude oil, Comparative Example 1 shows that the crude oil nanocomposite anti-wax and pour point depressant prepared by adding acrylate has better anti-wax effect and pour point reduction performance; Comparative Example 2 shows that the crude oil nanocomposite anti-wax and pour point depressant prepared by adding ionic emulsifier has a reduced anti-wax effect and pour point reduction performance, possibly due to the introduction of Na. + Ions affect the degree of polymerization during the polymerization reaction, thus impacting the product's performance. As shown in Comparative Example 3, the anti-waxing effect and pour point reduction of the crude oil nanocomposite anti-waxing and pour point depressant prepared by the one-step method are greatly affected. This may be because changing the reaction conditions leads to a significant change in the degree of polymerization of the final product, thus affecting its performance.
