Oil Production Viscosity Reducer

VerdePeChem-VR6892
Product Overview
Due to the low content of light components and high content of asphaltenes and resins, heavy crude oil typically exhibits high viscosity and high density, making production and transportation difficult. The oil production viscosity reducer (surfactant type) reduces the oil-water interfacial tension, transforming the heavy oil in the formation from a water-in-oil emulsion into an oil-in-water emulsion. This significantly reduces the viscosity of heavy crude oil and improves the recovery factor.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
- Physical state: Liquid
- Appearance: Homogeneous liquid, free of impurities
- Surface tension (1% aqueous solution), mN/m:≤32
- Interfacial tension (1% aqueous solution), mN/m:≤3
- Viscosity reduction rate (at 50°C), %: For crude oil viscosity ≤ 1,000 mPa·s: ≥ 70.0 For crude oil viscosity 1,000 – 10,000 mPa·s:≥ 75.0
- For crude oil viscosity 10,000 – 50,000 mPa·s: ≥ 80.0
Main Components/Composition:
The main active ingredient is petroleum sulfonate, blended with other auxiliary agents.
Uses and Application:
This product is a viscosity reducer for heavy crude oil during production. Recommended usage concentration is 1–3%, prepared as a 1–5% aqueous solution depending on produced fluid water content. For expired product, evaluate performance; if specifications are met, it may still be used. In case of skin spillage, rinse thoroughly with water. No significant harm to humans is anticipated under normal handling.
