The Chemical Performance Evaluation for Pour Point Depressant (PPD) Testing, X Oil Field, Vietnam
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
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.
