The catalyst that is used for downhole catalytic reforming of viscous crude
Technical field
The present invention relates to catalyst technical field, specifically a kind of catalyst that is used for downhole catalytic reforming of viscous crude.
Background technology
As far back as 1986, Canadian scholar Hyne and partner thereof just found, simulate under the steam injection condition, and oil sands bitumen generation chemical change, heavy ends content reduces in the pitch, and lighter hydrocarbons content increases, and is referred to as the hydrothermal cracking reaction.Discovering afterwards, under simulation steam injection condition, after the certain density transition metal salt solution of adding, viscosity of thickened oil declines to a great extent in viscous crude, and asphalt content obviously reduces, and saturated hydrocarbon content increases, and gas yield rises.As seen transition metal ions reacts hydrothermal cracking and has played catalytic action.
American scholar McFarlane etc. have introduced a kind of oil-soluble catalyst ammonium heptamolybdate in its patent (USP5916432), can be used for the ground upgrading of heavy crude.Also have American scholar Clough in its patent (USP4846274), to report, adopt to contain V, Fe, the aqueous solution of transition metal ions such as Mn, catalytic reforming heavy crude under the steam soak temperature.Chinese Fan Hong richness is in its article (" slaine is to Liaohe River thick oil hydrothermal cracking reaction influence research " chemistry of fuel journal, October calendar year 2001,29; 5) talk about under the simulation steam injection condition, eight kinds of transition metal saline solutions such as iron, cobalt and nickel obtain good result to the catalytic performance of Liaohe River viscous crude.
Domestic scholars imagination is at the downhole catalytic reforming viscous crude, mainly is by adding suitable catalyst and auxiliary agent to oil reservoir, deepens the degree of the hydrothermal cracking reaction that viscous crude takes place under EOR Conditions, irreversibly reduces viscosity of thickened oil.This just makes the viscous crude lighting to a certain extent, has reduced thickened oil recovery, has collected defeated and difficulty of processing, is expected to solve some difficult problems that present thickened oil recovery process is faced.Existing scholar carries out the test of downhole catalytic reforming at the thickened oil recovery scene, and obtains initial success, but also exists many technical problems to need to solve.The key that this technology is succeedd is a selection of catalysts.Research at present is maximum, and effect is preferably transition metal salt solution, generally participates in reaction with ionic species.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of catalyst that is used for downhole catalytic reforming of viscous crude, it is a kind of colloidal solution of transition metal, and viscous crude is had certain catalytic action, and the heavy component asphalt content descends in the viscous crude of reaction back, viscosity reduces, the lighting of viscous crude part.
The concrete technical scheme that realizes the object of the invention is:
A kind of catalyst that is used for downhole catalytic reforming of viscous crude, this catalyst are a kind of colloidal solution of transition metal, and its solute is the colloidal solid of transition metal hydrous oxide, and solvent is a water; The colloidal solution of described transition metal is to adopt following steps to make: transition metal salt is dissolved in the water, in transition metal salt solution, add citric acid, the quality ratio of its transition metal salt and citric acid is 0.1~5.0, at room temperature stirred 1~4 hour, after the ethanol dilution with 1.0~20.0 times of transition metal salt solution volumes, ultrasonic oscillation 0.5~2.0 hour, the colloidal solution of transition metal; Or it is transition metal salt is soluble in water, adopt concentrated ammonia liquor that transition metal salt is precipitated, precipitation is washing after filtration, after removing heteroion, adding and transition metal ions molar ratio are 0.02~3.0 acid, heating while stirring makes its peptization, and heating and temperature control gets the colloidal solution of transition metal at 100~150 ℃; Wherein, described transition metal is a kind of of iron, cobalt, molybdenum, zinc, copper, nickel or chromium; The solid content of the colloidal solution of described transition metal is less than 25wt%; Dissolve described transition metal salt institute water consumption: the quality ratio of transition metal salt and water is 0.001~0.95; Dilute used concentration of alcohol greater than 95%.
Described acid is nitric acid, sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.
The present invention has certain catalytic action to viscous crude, and reaction back viscosity of thickened oil reduces, and the heavy component asphalt content descends, the lighting of viscous crude part.
