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.
