蜡、水合物及其耦合沉积是海洋油气多相混输工艺潜在风险问题.以天然气、去离子水、3#工业白油和石蜡为实验介质,依托可视化高压反应釜,基于正交实验设计的方法,分别选用L9(34)和L16(45)正交表设计并开展了无蜡和含蜡2种体系下天然气水合物生成实验;以流体当量黏度为评价指标,分析了含蜡量、搅拌速率、流体平衡温度、含水率、起始压力对水合物浆液当量黏度的影响显著程度.实验结果表明:黏度值恒定并不能判断反应釜中水合物生成是否结束,因为在剪切稳定阶段,脱离搅拌中心区域的水合物与搅拌区域新生成的水合物存在一种"动态平衡"状态;含蜡量越高,水合物生长诱导期越长;在含蜡量2％与3％水合物的快速生长阶段,扭矩与转速会发生2次突变,第1次突变原因是蜡晶的大量析出导致搅拌中心区域油相胶凝结构增强,第2次突变原因是水合物大量生成并与析出的蜡晶相互吸附形成了蜡-水合物聚集体,在离心作用下脱离了搅拌中心区域;各因素对于无蜡和含蜡体系水合物浆液当量黏度的影响显著程度相似,搅拌速率均为主要影响因素.研究结果对深水油气管道的安全运行具有重要的理论意义和实用价值.
Formation characteristics of waxy oil and gas hydrate and factors affecting viscosity of the hydrate slurry
Waxes,hydrates and their coupled deposition behave as potential risks in the offshore oil and gas multi-phase transport process.Using natural gas,deionized water,3 # industrial white oil and paraffin as the experimental media,and relying on a high-pressure visible reactor,natural gas hydrate formation experiments were conducted in both wax-free and wax-containing systems based on an orthogonal design method,for which the L9(34)and L16(45)orthogonal table was selected.The effects of wax content,stirring rate,fluid equilibrium temperature,water content and initial pressure on equivalent viscosity of hydrate slurry were analyzed via taking fluid equivalent viscosity as the evaluation index.The experimental results show that the constant viscosity value is not sufficient to determine the completion of hydrate formation in the reactor.This is because in the shear stabilization stage,a state of"dynamic equilibrium"is existed between the hydrates leaving stirring central region and the newly generated hydrates in stirring region.Moreover,the higher the wax content,the longer the hydrate growth induction period.In the rapid growth stage of hydrates with wax content of 2％and 3％,the torque and rotational speed underwent two mutations.The first mutation was due to the precipitation of numerous wax crystals,leading to a stronger gel structure of the oil phase in the stirring central region.The second mutation occurred due to the separation of wax-hydrate aggregates from the central stirring central region under centrifugal forceof which the formation is achieved by generating and absorbing a large amount of hydrate onto precipitated wax crystals.The research results hold significant theoretical implications and practical value for the safe operation of deep-water oil and gas pipelines.
