Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield produced water treatment, in particular to a descaling process for oilfield produced water.
Background
In the middle and later stages of high water content development of oil fields, due to thermodynamic instability and chemical incompatibility of produced water, oil well shafts, ground systems and water injection bottom layers are prone to scaling, and the oil field water treatment and reinjection method becomes one of the most serious problems in the process of oil field water quality treatment and reinjection. The scale formation ions in the water produced in oil field mainly comprise Ca2+、Mg2+、Ba2+、Sr2+The common types of scales are carbonate scale and sulfate scale, and the factors influencing the scale are mainly CO2Partial pressure, temperature, pressure, pH value, salt content and the like. The method for preventing and treating oil field scale at home and abroad is mainly divided into chemical method (injecting CO)2Adding scale inhibitor), physical methods (ultrasonic, magnetic scale prevention and radio frequency scale prevention) and technological methods (controlling water source, flow rate, production pressure difference, adding a jacket layer and the like). The physical and chemical methods inhibit the generation of scaling substances to a certain extent under specific conditions, but scaling ions still exist. Once the produced water is separated from the specific condition in the process of collecting and transporting the produced water, the scaling substances can be generated again, and the scaling problem cannot be solved fundamentally. Therefore, reducing the content of scaling ions in oilfield produced water is critical to preventing scaling.
At present, the applicable main anti-scaling processes comprise ion exchange, evaporation, refrigeration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis and the like, but the processes generally have the defects of large early investment and high operation cost, and limit the application and popularization in the field of anti-scaling of oilfield produced water. The ion flotation is a process for recovering ions by reacting ions with a surfactant to generate a complex or a precipitate and then performing froth flotation separation, and has the advantages of simple process and low energy consumption. The outstanding problem of removing the scaling ions in the oilfield produced water by adopting the ion flotation process is that the dosage of the flotation collecting agent is large, the actual dosage of the collecting agent is generally 1.5-2 times of the theoretical dosage, and the medicament cost is high.
