Main Needs Identified
High viscosity of produced fluids and low volumetric efficiency of PCP.
Long retention time at production facilities.
Low efficiency of heavy oil dehydration process.
Organic material precipitation and High consumption of diluents to transport.
Solution Development at Laboratory
It was designed the need SF – FL product according to the properties of WHA2 sample.
Basic Characterization WHA2
°API @60°F
13.5
BS&W [% v/v]
5.0
Viscosidad [cSt]
8791 @90°F
Results – Heavy Oil ALS - PCP
Emulsion Breakers
The results are given for a production system neither with diluents application or thermic treatment.
The viscosity is reduced from 8791 cSt to 4540 cSt with a percentage of reduction of 48% @ 90°F.
Once the Fluidifier additive is applied the percentage of viscosity reduction after 96 hours is up to 30%
Higher percentage of free water applying lower concentration of emulsion breaker.
