Abstract
An analysis of the formation of asphaltene resin paraffin deposits is presented, criteria for assigning wells to subgroups of the complications type are considered, and a classification of complications in oil production is proposed. Oil is a complex and varied mixture of various hydrocarbons, both light and heavy, in thermodynamic equilibrium under reservoir conditions. In some fields, oil production is not accompanied by the formation of asphaltene resin paraffin deposits on the downhole pumping equipment, while in others it is complicated by them. Methods of preventing the deposition of asphaltene resin paraffin deposits and methods of dealing with them are considered, the research work done to substantiate the use of chemical reagents to prevent the formation of complications in oilproducing wells is presented, the minimum measures for subgroups of the proposed classification, complicated by asphaltene resin paraffin deposits of the fund, are presented. The methods for determining the effectiveness of the asphaltene resin paraffin deposits inhibitors, developed in the PermNIPIneft branch of LLC LUKOIL-Engineering, were briefly presented, on the basis of which the studies were carried out. The results of studies on the selection of reagents and determination of their effectiveness for the production well stock complicated by asphaltene resin paraffin deposits were considered. It was found that during wells operation where the physicochemical properties changed, the effectiveness of the inhibitor significantly decreased and did not reach the efficiency criterion of 75%. So, in oil production it is necessary to periodically, at least once every three years, check the effectiveness of the selected reagents, as well as analyze changes in such parameters of the processed object as: change in the physicochemical properties of the fluid; geological and technical measures at the well; significant increase, decrease in production; involvement or isolation of interlayers, production facilities; changes in reservoir, bottomhole pressure during operation. Approaches for wells are proposed: where, as a result of research, the criterion of the effectiveness of chemical reagents has not been achieved, it is necessary to select other methods to avoid the complication.
