The solidifying point of shale oil is high, and the wax content is high and the emulsification degree of shale oil is high. As a result, it is not easy to dehydrate shale oil emulations by using the traditional thermochemical method, which is difficult to meet the export standard. High frequency pulse dehydration technology is an effective method to dehydrate, but there are few studies on the optimization of treatment parameters of shale oil produced fluid. In this study, the effect of high frequency pulse dehydration technology on Dagang shale oil emulsion was studied, and the treatment parameters were optimized. The results show that high frequency pulse dehydration technology can achieve effective demulsification of shale oil produced liquid and significantly reduce the water content of shale oil. Through the comparison and selection of treatment parameters, it is found that the increase of electric field intensity and electric field frequency is conducive to improve the dehydration efficiency. Besides, there are electric field action time, operation temperature and demulsifier concentration parameters with the best dehydration efficiency. It is proposed that under the electric field strength of 200 kV/m, electric field frequency of 5 kHz, electric field action time of 60 min, operating temperature of 75 ℃, demulsifier mass fraction of 0.010%, the water content of shale oil after dehydration is 0.48%, and the comprehensive benefit is the best. The research results provide technical support for the optimization of shale oil produced fluid treatment parameters.
