Problems solved by technology

[0003] The water-soluble viscosity reducer is mainly composed of surfactant and water, and has the following defects when used in thermal oil recovery technology: first, it mainly uses the principle of emulsification to reduce viscosity, and cannot directly dissolve asphaltenes, colloids, and wax crystals. The viscosity-reducing effect is limited; second, it is difficult to automatically diffuse into the crude oil after being injected into the oil layer from the oil well; third, there is no effect or the opposite effect when the crude oil in the oil layer has a low water content
[0004] The oil-in-water emulsion viscosity reducer is mainly composed of surfactants, water and organic solvents. It has the following defects when used in thermal oil recovery technology: First, it mainly uses the principle of emulsification to reduce viscosity, directly dissolves and breaks asphaltenes, Colloids and wax crystals have limited ability to reduce viscosity; second, it is difficult to automatically diffuse into the crude oil after being injected into the oil layer from the oil well; third, the effect is extremely poor or opposite when the water content of the oil layer is low; The oil emulsion immediately delaminates under the heating of high-temperature fluid, and the synergistic injection construction process cannot be realized
[0005] Oil-soluble viscosity reducers are mainly composed of oil-soluble pour point depressants, organic solvents, etc., and have the following defects: First, although oil-soluble viscosity reducers can inhibit or disperse wax crystals, colloids, and asphaltenes, they cannot make them reach the true level. The size of the sol particles has a limited ability to reduce viscosity; the second is that its flash point is low, and there are construction safety problems when it is injected with high-temperature fluid; the third is that it is highly targeted and the workload of the screening test is large; the fourth is that it cannot solve the emulsification existing in the oil layer. Particle clogging; Fifth, there is a problem of timeliness, that is, its viscosity-reducing ability will continue to decrease with time; Sixth, its high cost makes it difficult to apply large doses in thermal oil recovery processes
[0006] Organic solvent-type viscosity reducers are mainly composed of hydrocarbon organic solvents, and have the following defects: first, they have limited solubility for wax crystals and colloids, and extremely poor solubility for layered asphaltene, so their viscosity reduction capabilities are limited; The flash point is low, and there are construction safety problems when it is injected with high-temperature fluid; third, it is difficult to suppress the geometric size of asphaltene and wax crystal structure; fourth, it cannot solve the problem of emulsified particle clogging in the oil layer; fifth, it has timeliness The problem is that its viscosity-reducing ability will continue to decrease with the extension of time; the sixth is that the addition amount is too large, resulting in a significant increase in production costs, and it is difficult to be practical in thermal oil recovery processes
[0007] In short, the existing viscosity reducers have poor practicability in thermal oil recovery technology and are difficult to apply on a large scale
