Abstract: In order to improve the safety of air flooding and quality of heavy oil, static oxidation experiments were conducted to research the effect of oil displacement agent on the catalytic low temperature oxidation (CLTO) of heavy oil. The results showed that the oil displacement agent could accelerate the oxygen consumption rate, and especially the effect of NaOH and PAM on oxygen consumption rate were obvious. Saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes (SARA) analysis and experiments using oil displacement agent were preformed to study the effect of oil displacement agent on the crude oil components. Saturates and aromatics were converted to resins and asphaltenes during low temperature oxidation (LTO), and the addition of Fe3O4 nanoparticles could reverse this change. This study can provide guidelines to select of oil displacement agent, improve the safety and increase the application of air flooding technology.

摘要： 为了提高空气驱的安全性及稠油改质,通过静态氧化实验研究了驱油剂对稠油低温催化氧化性能的影响规律。结果表明,研究选用的驱油剂都可以提高耗氧速率,特别是NaOH 和PAM 对耗氧速率的影响最为明显。通过族组成分析驱油剂对原油成分的影响,研究发现,低温催化氧化使原油中的饱和分和芳香分向胶质和沥青质转化,而纳米微粒Fe₃O₄ 却可以明显的反转这种变化。研究结果对驱油剂的选取、提高空气驱油技术的安全性及扩大空气驱的应用具有一定的指导意义。
