Taking a heavy oil in Shengli Oil Field as the research object,the core was filled with porous medium in the core displacement instrument to simulate the formation conditions,and the aquathermolysis of heavy oil under different reaction conditions was studied.The results shown that the viscosity reduction rate of heavy oil can reach 20.8% only in porous medium by direct displacement,and the viscosity reduction effect is more obvious in porous medium system after the addition of amphiphilic catalyst for reaction.The displacement viscosity reduction rate after reaction in a low?temperature environment of 65 ℃ is 57.9%.However,the reaction in a low?temperature environment leads to an increase in the molecular weight of the asphaltene component,with the relative molecular weight of the asphaltene increasing from 5 244 g/mol to 6 690 g/mol.After the reaction is completed and maintained in a high?temperature environment of 265 ℃,the displacement has a better viscosity reduction effect,with a maximum comprehensive viscosity reduction rate of 96.0%.It provides an important guiding significance for the optimization of operating conditions of heavy oil aquathermolysis in the field application process.

Most of the oil fields in China have entered the middle and late stage of exploitation, and the well produced fluid has a high water content. FRP pipes are widely used in surface gathering system of oilfield because of their excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, in order to save heating energy, low?temperature transportation process can be used to transport high water?cut crude oil, but the possible adhesion problem of crude oil is a serious threat to system safety.Therefore, it is important to investigate the interfacial properties of FRP pipe wall/crude oil to reveal the adhesion mechanism of low?temperature transportation of crude oil with high water?cut. The interfacial properties of crude oil on the FRP surface and stainless steel surface were investigated based on the contact angle apparatus. In the aqueous phase, the contact angle of oil droplet on the solid surface increased with decreasing temperature, and the contact angle of oil droplet on the FRP surface is larger than that on the stainless steel surface. The interfacial tension of oil droplet increased with decreasing temperature in the aqueous phase, and compared to the stainless steel surface, the adhesion work of oil droplet on the FRP surface is lower. And the cohesion work of oil droplet decreased with increasing temperature in the aqueous phase. Crude oil is not easy to adhere to the FRP pipe in the gathering system, FRP pipe is more conducive to the implementation of low?temperature transportation process.

As a universal low temperature gathering and transportation boundary condition,the wall sticking occurrence temperature (WSOT) has been widely promoted and applied in the oilfield in the late stage of high water cut development. When the oil gathering temperature is higher than the WSOT, the pipeline operates smoothly, otherwise the pressure drop of most pipelines increases significantly, but some of the pipeline pressure drop changes are not obvious. Through the field cooling experiment, it was found that in the process of the oil gathering temperature gradually decreasing to 6,8,10 ℃ and 12 ℃ below the gel point, the wellhead back pressure has experienced four stages of smooth operation, small fluctuation, low frequency large fluctuation and high frequency large fluctuation, and there are several "restart" processes in the pipeline when the gathering temperature is too low. At the same time, the gas injection experiment under different gas?oil ratio was further carried out, and the results show that when the gas?oil ratio is 40,80,160 m³/t, the pipeline can run stably at the gathering temperature 3,4 ℃ and 6 ℃ lower than the WSOT.
