Abstract

The present invention provides an experimental apparatus and a method for petroleum pipe scaling and wax precipitation, the apparatus comprises a liquid storage tank, a variable frequency motor, a screw pump, a constant temperature water bath tank, a first test tube, a second test tube, a cover plate and a lacing film test sample. The liquid storage tank is used for containing oil water needed for the experiment, and is connected with a temperature control system and a heater to ensure oil water temperature is constant at a preset value; a predetermined flow rate of oil output can be achieved by the variable frequency motor and the screw pump, the constant temperature water bath tank is used for simulation of test tube section wall temperature to study changing laws and mechanisms of sediment characteristics along with pipe wall temperature differences; the first test tube is a full size pipe segment, and is used for fully simulating pipe scaling and wax precipitation, and the second test tube is a pipe segment with an opening, and is used for study on the laws and mechanisms of the sediment characteristics along with time. The experimental apparatus and method can provide new methods and supports for research and development and evaluation of measures scaling and wax removal and prevention, and can ensure the petroleum pipe safe, economic and efficient operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental device and method for fouling and waxing of oil pipes, in particular to a device and method for dynamically simulating fouling and waxing of oil pipes. Background technique [0002] With the deepening of oil and gas field development, the energy of oil reservoirs gradually decays. Secondary and tertiary oil recovery technologies such as water injection, thermal recovery, gas flooding, and chemical flooding have been widely used in oilfields at home and abroad. At the same time, a series of problems have also been caused. First, due to changes in temperature, pressure, and flow rate of injected water or formation water, the water body is supersaturated and scales are generated, such as CaCO 3 , CaSO 4 , BaSO 4 , SrSO 4 Second, the application of thermal recovery increases the temperature of the fluid in the pipe and increases the activity of scaling reactions; while the application of gas flooding and chemical...
