According to the mechanisms of carbon dioxide miscible flooding and previous researchers’ work on synthesis of CO2-soluble surfactant, Citric acid isoamyl ester was synthesized, and it’s oil solubility and the rate of viscosity reduction both in oil-water system and oil were evaluated. And then we found that this compound can solve in oil effectively; the optimum mass of Citric acid isoamyl ester introduced in oil-water system is 0.12g when the mass ratio of oil and water is 7:3 (crude oil 23.4g, formation water 10g) and the experimental temperature is 50°C , the rate of viscosity reduction is 47.2%; during the evaluation of the ability of Citric acid isoamyl ester to decrease oil viscosity, we found that the optimum dosage of this compound in 20g crude oil is 0.2g when the temperature is 40°C, and the rate of viscosity reduction is 7.37% at this point.

Transparent model oils are commonly used to study the flow patterns and pressure gradient of crude oil-water flow in gathering pipes. However, there are many differences between the model oil and crude oils. The existing literatures focus on the flow pattern transition and pressure gradient calculation of model oils. This paper compares two most commonly used model oils (white mineral oil and silicon oil) with Xinjiang crude oil from the perspectives of rheological properties, oil-water interfacial tensions, emulsion photomicrographs and demulsification process. It indicates that both the white mineral oil and the crude oils are pseudo plastic fluids, while silicon oil is Newtonian fluid. The viscosity-temperature relationship of white mineral oil is similar to that of the diluted crude oil, while the silicon oil presents a less viscosity gradient with the increasing temperature. The oil-water interfacial tension can be used to evaluate the oil dispersing ability in the water phase, but not to evaluate the emulsion stability. According to the Turbiscan lab and the stability test, the model oil emulsion is less stable than that of crude oil, and easier to present water separation.
