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.
