Mechanism and Oil Displacement of Heavy Oil Emulsification and Viscosity Reducer:A Case Study on Heavy Oil Reservoir and Fluid Conditions of Bohai Oilfield
In order to further explore the mechanism of “increasing oil and decreasing viscosity” of heavy oil emulsification and viscosity reducer, experimental studies on oil displacement of heavy oil emulsification and viscosity reducer and its influencing factors have been carried out. Viscosity reducer was screened and related performance was evaluated.The viscosity and recovery efficiency were used as evaluation indexaccording to the geological characteristics and fluid properties in Bohai reservoir. The results showed that, the mechanism of decreasing viscosity of three kinds of viscosity reducer was forming oil in water emulsion, and the viscosity reduction effect of “viscosity reducer 2” was best among three kinds of viscosity reducer. Oil water emulsion gradually changed from oil in water (O/W) into water in oil(W/O) type and the viscosity was increased when the water content in emulsion decreased, eventually exceeding that of crude oil. Besides, with the heavy oil reservoir hetergeneity increasing, oil displacement of viscosity reducer got better. Oil displacement of viscosity reducer got worse with the increasing of curde oil viscosity, so the recovery amplification can be increased through preprocessing on viscosity reduction before similarty viscosity reducer was used.
The study of complex de-nitride in lubricant by furfural and additives was researched for a second-tier base oil in Fushun No.1oil plant, according to single factor experiments, influences on removal rate of the basic nitrogen by temperature and oil/solvent ratio were obtained, finding a more suitable metal additive dosage of 0.50~1.33(mol zinc bromide/mol quinoline).Then through orthogonal test determining the effects on the complex extraction(removal rate of basic nitrogen), the most influential factor is the metal additive dosage, followed by the oil/solvent ratio, temperature minimum. The results show that adding a small amount of zinc bromide can greatly enhance the effect of furfural refining, its basic nitrogen removal rate increases, it greatly increases the effect of furfural extraction.
