The diamond oil field is located in Blocks 0102 Offshore Vietnam. Crude oil from Diamond Well Head Platform (WHP) is evacuated to FPSO via 20 km - 10” subsea flexible pipeline. The lowest seabed temperature in the field is 22˚C, while the pouring point temperature of this crude oil is very high (36˚C) due to high paraffin content (about 25% by weight). So studying to synthesize a copolymer use to reduce the pour point temperature of this oil is very important. The copolymer must have the ability to reduce the pour point temperature of the crude oil from 36˚C to 21˚CThe synthesis process occurred via copolymerization of acrylate, methacrylate and vinyl acetate monomers using the free radical polymerization method in Solvent 100 as a solvent. There are many factors that affect copolymerization reaction and therefore they will impact the structure and performance of the said copolymer. One of the most important factors is the ratio of initiator to monomer in the reaction.Therefore the aim of this research is to choose an appropriated ratio of initiator to produce a copolymer that can reduce pour point temperature of Diamond crude oil from 36˚C to 21˚C at a dosage of 1.750ppmv

With the high temperature gas chromatography, wax compositions and different n-alkanes content of typical well 7-1 in Hainan block of Liaohe Oil Field is analysed completely, obtained average carbon numbers of oil wax. And under its cloud point temperature separately,original oil and additive crude oil are separated by the centrifuge. From the centrifugate and the gel wax components analysis, the LHPPH-2 pour point depressant used in Hainan block and wax components of 7-1 well have a good adaptability, show an excellent effect.

A series of polyacrylate ester (PAE) was prepared by free-radical polymerization. The PAEs were used as pour point depressant for crude oil from Yumen Oil Field. PAE12 and PAE18 showed potent activity for 2# and 4# samples under the concentration of 500 ppm with the highest Δ pour point of 10-13°C. In the further study, the effect of the concentration on the pour point was investigated.

Pour Point Depressant (PPD) Testing are used extensively to modify the crystallinity of hard waxes and to reduce the natural pour point of crude. The best PPD chemical and best dosage for crude oil treatment will be chosen based on the laboratory test results to: Reduce pour point of crude oil; Reduce viscosity of crude oil; Improve rheological properties of crude oil; Reduce wax deposition rate and pipeline restart pressure. The chemical performance evaluation for PPD, proposed to use at X Oil Field has been conducted in Crude oil and Petroleum products Lab. The following properties have been determined in laboratory for blank sample (which is a mixture of H1, H4 and H5 crude oil samples with ratio of 2.1:1.4:1.0) and sample treated by PPD (rundown crude oil sample): Pour Point (for blank sample and treated sample); Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) and Wax Disappearance Temperature (WDT) (for blank sample); Dynamic Viscosity (for blank and treated samples); Yield Stress by Rheometer (for blank and treated samples) for 100 mins, 1000 mins and 02 days shut-in times; Wax Deposition Rate by Cold Finger for blank and treated samples; Restart Pressure by Restart Loop (for blank and treated samples) for 100 mins, 1000 mins and 02 days shut-in times.

Summary Pour-point depressants (PPDs) were synthesized from natural sources and used in waxy crude oil transportation to reduce the pour point and improve flow. A biodegradable PPD (BPPD) was synthesized and tested to mitigate crude oil flow assurance problems in the present work. The transesterification process was used to synthesize coconut oil ethyl ester (COEE, termed as BPPD). Fourier transform electron spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR), and microscopic analysis were performed for better understanding of mechanisms for both BPPD and a commercially available PPD named PPD-A. The pour point of crude oil was reduced by 12 and 9°C after the addition of 800 ppm BPPD and PPD-A, respectively. The microscopic analysis confirms that the crystals of wax converted to very fine and dispersed particles during mixing of additives, which in turn increase flowability. BPPD performs better to reduce interfacial tension than PPD-A. The maximum reduction of 19% in interfacial tension was observed after the addition of 800 ppm BPPD. BPPD alters the wettability of the pipeline surface from intermediate wet to water-wet within 60 seconds, which results in reduced slip velocity and consequently lessens the deposition of wax. As a result, crude oils will not stick to the wall of the pipe surface and will experience less resistance to flow through pipelines. FTIR analysis indicated that long-chain alkane and aromatic groups are responsible for a higher pour point, and their concentration level was reduced after the addition of BPPD. The viscosity of crude oil was reduced by almost 94% after the addition of 800 ppm BPPD with crude oil, which in turn minimizes pumping costs for crude oil. As a result, the total project cost was reduced substantially. Biodegradability tests confirm that the BPPD is biodegradable and nontoxic. Due to its biodegradability and nontoxic nature, BPPD has a promising capacity to be used in the petroleum industry for easier pipeline transportation of waxy crude.
