  • Patent number: 11970661
    Abstract: A combined catalytic viscosity reducing system includes a catalyst slug, a heat generating system slug, a gas injection slug, and a water-soluble viscosity reducing system slug. The catalyst slug includes 10%-15% of azacarbene iron, 15%-30% of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, 2%-5% of phosphoric acid, 2%-5% of hydrogen donor, and 0.5%-1% of emulsifier agent, and the others are solvent. The heat generating system slug includes 10%-30% of NaNO2, 8%-25% of NH4Cl, and 3%-10% of acid initiator, and the others are water, totaling 100%. The water-soluble viscosity reducing system slug, according to mass percentage, includes 0.2%-0.5% of surfactant and 2%-10% of alkali, and the others are water. The combined catalytic viscosity reducing system can effectively reduce viscosity without injecting steam, and the viscosity reduction rate can reach 96.5%.

  • Patent number: 11845069
    Abstract: Disclosed is catalyst composition, a process for preparing the catalyst composition, and a use of the catalyst composition. The catalyst composition comprises 1 wt % to 4 wt % of free azacarbene, 1 wt % to 2 wt % of azacarbene iron, 15 wt % to 30 wt % of a phase transfer catalyst, 1 wt % to 5 wt % of a hydrogen donor, 5 wt % to 10 wt % of phosphoric acid, 0.5 wt % to 1 wt % of emulsifier, with the rest being solvent. This disclosure also provides a process for preparing the catalyst composition, comprising: mixing the free azacarbene and the azacarbene iron with the solvent according to a ratio, then adding and mixing the phase transfer catalyst and the hydrogen donor, then adding and mixing the phosphoric acid and the emulsifier to obtain the catalyst composition. The beneficial effect of this disclosure is: only less azacarbene iron and free azacarbene are needed to achieve rapid and efficient viscosity reduction of heavy oil.
