Description

Ultraviolet evaluation method for dissolution effect of asphaltene scavenger
Technical Field
The invention relates to an ultraviolet evaluation method for the dissolving effect of an asphaltene scavenger.
Background
Asphaltene deposition can occur as a result of changes in pressure, temperature, and fluid composition during oilfield production. The reasons for these changes are many, including primary oil recovery, injection of natural gas and carbon dioxide, as well as acidizing and mixed recovery of incompatible fluids. Throughout the production system, asphaltenes can accumulate in multiple zones, and asphaltene buildup can occur from within the formation to pumps, tubing, wellheads, safety valves, flowlines and surface facilities. The deposited asphaltene has more and more prominent influence on the aspects of blocking a reservoir and oil extraction equipment, reducing the productivity of an oil well, increasing the cost of exploitation and operation and the like, so that the removal of the asphaltene is more and more emphasized, and the removal effect of the scavenger is concerned. However, most of the existing scavenger effect evaluation is indoor evaluation, a unified evaluation method is not available, the evaluation time is different, and the evaluation effect is different from the field implementation process. Therefore, a general method for evaluating an asphaltene scavenger is required, which can measure the dissolution effect of the asphaltene scavenger after the addition of the scavenger in a short time by simulating the formation environment.

In the step 2), the mass ratio of the fine sand powder to the asphaltene can be 5-60: 1, and specifically 17.75: 1.
In the above method, the ratio of the mass of the bitumen/sand system to the volume of the scavenger may be 10-41mL of the total amount of the surfactant is 1mL of 1g, specifically 0.001-0.1 g, 1mL of 0.001-0.005 g, 1mL of 0.001-0.05 g, or 1mL of 0.001-0.5 g.
