摘要

In this paper, we explore the correlations between the effectiveness of several wax inhibitors andrnphysico-chemical properties of crude oils. First, the effects of the type of fluid was studied by dissolvingrnrefined paraffin waxes in non-waxy crude oils—here termed u0002doctoredu0002 crude oils—of different propertiesrnand comparing the wax appearance temperature and pour point of the doctored crude oils to thoserndetermined for a model waxy fluid used in previous studies [1]. After treating the doctored crude oils withrnwax inhibitors, the ability of the chemicals to depress pour point was examined. Even though the paraffinrnwaxes in these fluids were exactly the same, marked differences in the effectiveness of the chemicals werernobserved. The doctored condensate was very responsive to the inhibitors in a similar manner to thatrnobserved for the model waxy fluid, while doctored crude oils from the Middle East showed a significantlyrnreduced response to most inhibitors. The results are discussed in terms of the differences in solubility ofrnthe paraffin waxes, and the chemical composition of the crude oils.rnSecondly, the influence of a wide range of crude oil properties on the effectiveness of wax inhibitorsrnwas investigated by treating seven (7) crude oils of different geographical origin with five (5) waxrninhibitors and evaluating their performance to reduce wax deposits in a cold finger experiments. Distinctrncrude oil behaviors were observed in terms of their responsiveness to the wax inhibitors. Some crude oilsrnwere equally responsive to wax inhibitors, while others showed moderate response, and one was notrnresponsive at all. The results are clear examples of the crude oil u0002specificityu0002, and demonstrate the risksrnof using model waxy fluids, or even different crude oils, to extrapolate the performance of wax inhibitors.rnAdditives that worked well in model fluids might not work at all in real crude oils.rnLastly, physical properties of crude oils and molecular characteristics derived from high-temperaturerngas chromatography (HTGC) were used to seek a correlation to wax inhibition performance usingrnchemometrics tools, specifically, principal component analysis (PCA). Preliminary results from the PCArnapproach indicate that several crude oil properties affect inhibition efficiency. The analysis suggests thatrnthe efficiency of the inhibitors studied here increases for crude oils with lower wax appearancerntemperature, lower pour point and lower carbon number distribution. It could also be inferred that inhibition efficiency was improved in crude oils containing higher amounts of asphaltenes but low waxrncontent.
