Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction and relates to a crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As oil temperature decreases, asphaltene-containing crude oil reaches its critical precipitation point, causing asphaltene deposits to form on the surface and adhere to the pipe walls, significantly reducing oil production and transportation capacity. In severe cases, this can lead to blockages, becoming a primary problem that must be solved in oil extraction. Domestically and internationally, the addition of chemical asphaltene inhibitors is widely used to address this challenge. Using asphaltene precipitation inhibitors is an ideal method to mitigate asphaltene precipitation during crude oil transportation. Among these, polymer-based inhibitors are widely used due to their advantages such as low dosage, high efficiency, and ease of modification.

[0003] Currently, there are numerous types and quantities of crude oil asphaltene inhibitors reported in domestic and international literature and patents. Commonly used crude oil asphaltene inhibitors mainly fall into the following categories: hydroxyl-containing asphaltene inhibitors, primarily alkylphenols, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, polyether polyols, and polyol fatty acid esters; alkylbenzene derivative inhibitors, mainly dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, dodecylphenol, and salicylic acid; and polymeric asphaltene inhibitors, primarily composed of amine organic compounds and polymers containing nitrogen-oxygen organic compounds, represent a new research direction in asphaltene inhibitors in recent years, mainly focusing on polyisobutylene succinimide, polyisobutylene succinate, nonylphenol aldehyde resin-modified polyamines, and rapeseed oil amide inhibitors. Hydroxyl nonionic inhibitors exert their inhibitory effect by forming hydrogen bonds with heteroatomic nitrogen or hydroxyl groups and adsorbing onto asphaltene molecules. However, because they can achieve self-association through hydrogen bonds and adsorb onto the side of the asphaltene, their inhibitory effect is significantly affected. The reason for the inhibitory effect of alkylbenzene derivative inhibitors on asphaltene deposition is that they form π-π interactions with asphaltene molecules, weakening the π-π interactions between asphaltene molecules. Furthermore, the head functional group of benzenesulfonic acid is highly acidic, capable of reacting with asphaltenes molecules through acid-base interactions and resulting in large-scale adsorption. This forms a strong dipole interaction, disrupting the intermolecular interactions of asphaltenes and thus inhibiting their polymerization and sedimentation. However, this asphaltenes inhibitor is also adsorbed on the side of the asphaltenes, which somewhat affects its inhibitory effect. In addition to acid-base adsorption, polymeric inhibitors can increase the thickness of the polymer adsorption layer to increase steric hindrance, thereby hindering asphaltenes aggregation and deposition and increasing the inhibitor's solubility in oil. With the continuous development of oil fields, asphaltenes deposition has caused serious damage to oilfield production. Currently, asphaltenes inhibitors are widely used in oil fields in Iran, Kuwait, Sudan, and domestically in fields such as Dagang and Tarim. Therefore, research on asphaltenes inhibitors is increasing both domestically and internationally. However, existing asphaltenes inhibitors are less effective at lower temperatures and require concentrations of 1000-5000 ppm, resulting in high costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor, its preparation method and application. The crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor can reduce the precipitation temperature of crude oil asphaltene by 7-13°C, and still has a good function of inhibiting asphaltene precipitation even when the concentration is reduced.

Ethylenediamine is added when the temperature is raised to 30-40℃ to carry out the reaction. At the same time as adding ethylenediamine, the temperature is raised to 70-80℃ and the reaction is carried out for 2-4 hours.

[0026] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor, including the following steps:

[0027] After reacting palmitoleic acid, aluminum oxide, and polyethylene polyamine, the mixture reacts with aliphatic diamine under the action of alcohol compounds. The resulting reactants are dissolved in water with clay to obtain a mixture.

[0028] After adding vinyl acetate to the mixture and stirring it evenly, cycloalkanes, ethylene alcohol polyether and an initiator are added and mixed evenly to obtain a stable water-in-oil emulsion. After polymerization, a crude oil asphalt solid inhibitor is obtained.

[0029] The clay used is ordinary clay, with a montmorillonite content of 80%-98% by mass.

[0030] The mass ratio of vinyl acetate to vinyl alcohol polyether is (9-11):(0.2-0.4).

[0031] The mass ratio of vinyl acetate to water, cycloalkanes, and initiator is (9-11):(80-100):(110-120):(0.01-0.03).

[0032] In this process, vinyl acetate is added to the mixture and stirred uniformly at a speed of 10,000-15,000 r / min for 20-40 min to obtain an aqueous solution containing water-soluble monomers and clay.

[0033] Add cycloalkanes, vinyl alcohol polyethers, and an initiator to the aqueous solution, and stir for 20-40 minutes at a stirring speed of 10000-15000 r / min until mixed to obtain a stable water-in-oil emulsion.

[0034] In the polymerization reaction, the stirring speed of the water-in-oil microemulsion is 500-1000 r / min; the reaction temperature is 50-70℃; and the reaction time is 120-150 min.

[0035] The step of reacting palmitoleic acid, aluminum oxide, and ethylene polyamine, followed by reacting them with aliphatic diamines under the action of alcohol compounds, and then dissolving the resulting reactants with clay in water to obtain a mixture, includes:

[0036] Palmitoleic acid, aluminum oxide, and ethylene polyamine are reacted at 190-210℃ for 1-3 hours. After cooling, they are mixed with alcohol compounds, and when the temperature is raised to 30-40℃, aliphatic diamine is added. At the same time, the temperature is raised to 70-80℃ and the reaction is carried out for 2-4 hours. The resulting reactants are dissolved in water with clay to obtain a mixture.

[0037] The mass ratio of the reactant to clay is (0.3-0.5):(4-6).

[0038] The mass ratio of palmitoleic acid, diethylenetriamine, and fatty diamine is (1.5-2):1:0.9; the mass ratio of aluminum oxide and palmitoleic acid is (0.05-0.1):1.

[0039] Among them, the ethylene polyamine is one or more of diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, and tetraethylenepentamine; the initiator is one or two of azobisisobutyronitrile and azobisisoheptanenitrile; the alcohol compound is one or more of methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol; the aliphatic diamine is one or more of ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, and butanediamine; and the cycloalkanes are one or more of tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, and cycloheptane.

[0040] The crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor described in this embodiment was prepared using the above-described preparation method.

[0041] The crude oil asphaltenes solids inhibitor described in this embodiment can be used to inhibit asphaltenes precipitation. The concentration of the crude oil asphaltenes solids inhibitor is 100-1000 ppm.

[0042] It is worth noting that the addition of vinyl acetate and ethylene alcohol polyether significantly affects the pour point depressant effect of the obtained crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor. The mechanism is as follows: when vinyl acetate and ethylene alcohol polyether undergo physical adsorption with asphaltene, they are adsorbed onto the asphaltene surface using van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonds. This interaction alters the solubility and dispersion state of asphaltene, allowing it to be uniformly dispersed in crude oil and preventing asphaltene aggregation and precipitation. Furthermore, the crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor provided in this application has the following advantages compared to liquid asphaltene inhibitors: longer shelf life (the shelf life of the crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor is longer than that of the liquid asphaltene inhibitor and is not affected by evaporation or volatilization); lower cost (the production cost of the crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor is lower than that of the liquid asphaltene inhibitor and does not require the use of solvents or diluents); and easier storage and transportation (the crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor can be stored and transported at room temperature, while the liquid asphaltene inhibitor requires storage and transportation under specific temperature and pressure conditions). The concentration of crude oil asphaltenes solid inhibitor used downhole with crude oil is 100-1000 ppm, which can reduce the precipitation temperature of crude oil asphaltenes by 7-13℃. Even with the reduced concentration, it still has a good function of inhibiting asphaltenes precipitation.

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the preparation method of the crude oil asphaltene solid inhibitor of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following embodiments are conventional methods; the materials and reagents used are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0091] 4) The above stable water-in-oil microemulsion was heated to 55°C and reacted for 120 min under stirring at 5000 r / min to obtain an organic-inorganic composite hybrid crude oil asphalt solid inhibitor.

[0092] The organic-inorganic composite hybrid crude oil asphaltenes solid inhibitor prepared in Comparative Example 1 reduced the crude oil asphaltenes precipitation temperature from 31°C to 29°C. Compared with the results of Example 1, it is demonstrated that using vinyl acetate alone as the water-soluble monomer achieves better technical results than using a mixture of acrylamide, vinyl acetate and perfluoroalkyl acrylate monomers.

[0093] The asphaltene precipitation temperature test method is as follows: ① Prepare crude oil sample: Prepare 150 mL of crude oil with an asphaltene precipitation temperature of 31℃; ② Prepare asphaltene inhibitor: Based on experimental requirements and previous research, determine the amount of solid asphaltene inhibitor to be added to the crude oil asphaltene as 10 ppm; ③ Mix sample: Add 50 mL of crude oil sample and 10 ppm of asphaltene inhibitor to a sealed container and mix thoroughly; ④ Heating process: Place the sample container in a constant temperature bath or hot water bath and heat to 90℃ at a predetermined heating rate of 5 kJ / h. After reaching 90℃, maintain the temperature for 30 min, then decrease the temperature at a rate of 2 kJ / h, and record the temperature and time; ⑤ Observe asphaltene precipitation: Observe the changes in the sample using a microscope during the cooling process. When the precipitation of asphaltene into particles or precipitates is observed, record the temperature at this point, which is the asphaltene precipitation temperature.
