摘要:
为明确纳米颗粒在高温高压下抑制地层活油中沥青质沉淀的效果及机理, 通过开展高温高压固相颗粒检测实验, 分别采用激光探测、高压显微镜和高温高压过滤等方法, 研究了纳米颗粒二氧化硅(SiO2)(改性)和四氧化三钴(Co3O4)作用下地层活油中沥青质的聚集和沉淀特征, 结合电镜扫描和热重分析实验, 揭示了纳米颗粒抑制沥青质沉淀机理。实验结果表明, 目标储层地层原油中添加SiO2纳米颗粒后, 沥青质沉淀起始压力(
AOP )由原来的59.2 MPa下降至53.4 MPa, 衰竭至35 MPa压力下, 沥青质颗粒的平均粒径由8.82μ m减小至5.53μ m, 沉淀量占比由66.4%降至46.4%。而添加Co3O4纳米颗粒后, 在泡点压力之上未出现明显沥青质沉淀, 35 MPa压力下沥青质颗粒平均粒径仅为1.65μ m, 沉淀量占比仅为13.6%。纳米颗粒能够抑制沥青质分子的析出、减缓沥青质颗粒的聚集速度、降低AOP 及沥青质的沉淀量。与SiO2纳米颗粒相比, Co3O4纳米颗粒具有更高的沥青质吸附亲和力, 抑制效果更好。研究成果为防治沥青质沉积及改善沉积伤害提供了依据。Abstract:Objective In order to clarify the effect and mechanism of nanoparticles on inhibiting asphaltene precipitation in formation live oil formation under high temperature and high pressure.
Methods In this study, by carrying out high-temperature and high-pressure solid particle detection experiment, the aggregation and precipitation characteristics of asphaltene in formation live oil under the action of SiO2 and Co3O4 nanoparticles were studied by means of laser detection, high-pressure microscopy and high-temperature and high-pressure filtration. Combined with the electron microscope scanning and thermogravimetric analysis experiments, the mechanism of nanoparticles inhibiting asphaltene precipitation was revealed.
Results The results show that the initial pressure of asphaltene precipitation (
AOP ) decreases from 59.2 MPa to 53.4 MPa after adding SiO2 nanoparticles to the crude oil of the target reservoir.When the pressure was reduced to 35 MPa, the average particle size of asphaltene particles decreases from 8.82μ m to 5.53μ m, and the proportion of precipitation decreased from 66.4% to 46.4%. After adding Co3O4 nanoparticles, there is no obvious asphaltene precipitation above the bubble point pressure.The average particle size of asphaltene particles is only 1.65μ m under 35 MPa pressure, and the proportion of precipitation is only 13.6%. Nanoparticles can inhibit the precipitation of asphaltene molecules, slow down the aggregation rate of asphaltene particles, and reduceAOP and precipitation. Compared with SiO2, Co3O4 nanoparticles have higher asphaltene adsorption affinity and better inhibition effect.Conclusion The research results provide a basis for preventing asphaltene deposition and improving deposition damage.
