Water-soluble viscosity reducer
Product Description
Water-soluble viscosity reducers are formulated primarily from anionic and nonionic surfactants, combined with emulsifiers and other surfactant additives. Their aqueous solutions can emulsify heavy crude oil into a water-in-oil emulsion, gradually dispersing large clumps of heavy crude oil into smaller particles, thereby significantly reducing the viscosity of heavy crude oil and improving its rheological properties.
The product can be used for viscosity reduction in wellbores, reservoirs, and production and transportation systems.
Product Features
1. By forming a low-viscosity water-in-oil emulsion, it alters the viscosity of heavy crude oil and improves production and recovery rates.
2. It reduces power consumption and system pressure while increasing crude oil production.
3. It replaces petroleum sulfonates and improves salt resistance.
4. It offers low-temperature stability and is suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.
5. It has good compatibility and can be used in combination with various surfactants.
Application
The product can be used for viscosity reduction in wellbores, oil reservoirs, and production and gathering systems.
