专利说明:

The invention relates to inhibiting the precipitation of paraffins and improving the flow properties of crude oils.
The purpose of the invention is to increase the effectiveness of preventing the crystallization of oil.
The additives according to the invention are easily merged with crude oils. They slow down the crystallization of paraffins, reduce the flow temperature and viscosity of these oils and facilitate the transportation, storage and processing of these oils. In addition, these additives are copolymers formed by the main part (stem) obtained from an ethylene copolymer with at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, on which grafts of an α, ω-unsaturated monocarboxylic ester copolymer are fixed. - chain alkanol.
The structures according to the invention also have paraffin sequences in the main part (stem) of the polymer, derived from ethylene, as in the graft, derived from ester a, / 3 -saturated monocarboxylic acid with a long-chain alkanol. These paraffin sequences provide the affinity of these graft copolymers with crude oil paraffins and improve the solubility of the additive.
The graft copolymer contains 5-95 wt.% And preferably 40-75 wt. % copolymer of ethylene, forming the main part (trunk). The ethylene copolymer contains 50-90 wt.%, Preferably 70-90 wt.% Ethylene and 1-50 wt.%, Preferably 10-30 wt.%, At least one

Preferred comonomers are octadecene-1, styrene and vinyl acetate. They also facilitate the copolymerization of ester, / - unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and especially acrylates or methacrylates with unsaturated, dicarboxylic compounds.
Among the unsaturated a, / 3 -dicarboxylic compounds that are part of the grafts, maleic or alkyl maleic acid, methyl, ethyl or propyl diester of such an acid or maleic or alkyl maleic anhydride can be specified,
The graft copolymers are prepared by grafting an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid alkyl ester and, in known cases, the other monomers mentioned, onto an ethylene copolymer dissolved in an organic solvent. A solvent is selected in which both the copolymer and the graftable monomer or the graftable monomers are soluble. Of these solvents, the hydrocarbon solvents of the aliphatic or aromatic structure are chemically inert with respect to the monomers.
Preferred solvents are, for example, xylene or toluene or
fractions with aromatic character. The total monomer concentration can reach 10-100% by weight of the solvent, preferably the concentration is up to 20-60% by weight, so that after polymerization
have a solution that is pumped at a temperature close to room temperature. The polymerization temperature can vary quite widely, e.g. 50 ° - 150 ° C, preferably at 70-120 ° C. The pressure is selected depending on the structure of the monomers, it can vary from atmospheric pressure to elevated pressures, in the order of 100 bar.
Catalysts are usually chosen from compounds that give free radicals and are soluble in the reaction medium, for example, peroxides, namely benzoyl peroxide, acetyl, di-tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroctoate, or azo compounds, for example azo-bis-isobutylronitrile. Usually use a mole of catalyst, preferably 5-10 -10 mol per mole of monomer.
The degree of polymerization is measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), which allows to obtain a weight average molecular weight in the form of an equivalent polystyrene number and polymer polydispersity indexes. The degree of grafting is determined by increasing the molecular weight obtained by GPC.
The molecular weight of the target polymer can vary from 5,000 to 300,000, preferably from 20,000 to 15,000. Only a small percentage of the unvaccinated polymer is formed, and this percentage changes with the composition of the starting mixture. Due to the compatibility effect of the graft polymer, this polymer forms a stable mixture of ethylene copolymers.
The additive according to the invention is included in crude oils in a weight concentration reaching up to 5-4,000 ppm, preferably 100-1,500 ppm. The introduction is carried out at a temperature of 20 ° C above the flow temperature of the crude oil, with stirring.

Example 9 describes, as an example, the synthesis of EVA to which an alkyl acrylate is grafted, not including C22-alkyl.
Examples 10-12 relate to graft copolymerization on the main parts (trunks) formed by ternary copolymers.
The yield is indicated as a percentage of the monomers reacted with respect to the initial monomer. The percentage of graft copolymer present in the final polymer is also indicated as a percentage, which is estimated from the chromatogram obtained with
With the help of gel permeation chromatography (GPC), the ratio of the areas corresponding to the maximum (peak) of small masses (not subjected to the grafting product) and the maximum (peak) of higher masses (graft copolymer) was obtained to the composition of the initial mixture. The ultimate molecular weight (m) corresponds to the maximum recorded by GPC, it is given as a comparison to show

To determine the effectiveness of these polymers as inhibitors of paraffin precipitation (release), two different measurements (measures) were used:
pour point according to ASTM D 97 B
temperature of onset of crystallization of paraffins by differential calorimetric analysis.
This measurement makes it possible to determine in a very precise way the temperature of the appearance of the first paraffin crystals. Results are obtained by comparing the onset temperatures of the onset of crystallization of crude formation oils and that of crude oils, including the additives according to the invention.
The magnitude of the DT, characteristic of the effectiveness of additives, is determined by the dependence
AT Tf-T2l
where Ti is the temperature of the onset of crystallization of reservoir crude oil;
T2 - the temperature of the onset of crystallization of crude oil in the presence of additives.
For some crude oils, there are two crystallization start temperatures, one for heavy paraffins above C45, another for lighter paraffins below C45.
Table 1 shows the characteristics of the crude test oils (the paraffin content in the crude oil was determined by gas chromatography; the viscosity was measured in the RHEOMAT 30 apparatus),
In tab. 2-5 show the onset temperatures (incipient) of crystallization or the flow temperature of crude oils of various origins in the presence of varying concentrations of additives;
Thus, during the test at the wells in the crude Gabon oil well, the use of 300 ppm of the additive of Example 4 makes it possible to receive and transport this oil through pipelines over a distance of 15 km without any problem of viscosity and paraffin deposition.
