Abstract
The chemical paraffin removal agent QLJ-1 was developed by analyzing the composition of crude oil, the wax content and the point of paraffin removal in the wellbore of an oilfield in northwest China. The orthogonal test was used to determine the formula as follows: mixed organic solvent (70% aromatics, alkane volume ratio of 2:2:1) + mixed surfactant (7% Tween-80, AEO-9, fatty acid salt mass ratio of 1:2:1) +23% pure water. The results of kinetics and emulsion stability study show that the saturated wax dissolution amount of QLJ-1 is 1.62 g, the wax dissolution rate is 0.0263 g/min, the wax dissolution equilibrium time is about 1h, and the emulsion stability time is 6 d. The wax dissolving effect of QLJ-1 is better than that of the current paraffin remover. The research results of this paper can provide technical support for improving the chemical paraffin removal process in an oilfield in Northwest China.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils publishes reports on improvements in the processing of petroleum and natural gas and cracking and refining techniques for the production of high-quality fuels, oils, greases, specialty fluids, additives and synthetics. The journal includes timely articles on the demulsification, desalting, and desulfurizing of crude oil; new flow plans for refineries; platforming, isomerization, catalytic reforming, and alkylation processes for obtaining aromatic hydrocarbons and high-octane gasoline; methods of producing ethylene, acetylene, benzene, acids, alcohols, esters, and other compounds from petroleum, as well as hydrogen from natural gas and liquid products.
