초록

심해유전개발 중 원유의 흐름보증과 관련하여 하이드레이츠, 아스팔텐, 무기물 침전 등이 주된 관심분야가 될 수 있으며, 특히 왁스에 대해서도 그 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 원유흐름 중단으로 인한 왁스가 젤을 형성하였을 경우에는, 원유의 흐름을 재시작하기 위해서는 높은 압력의 펌프를 가동해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 베인 레오미터를 사용하여 왁스 젤의 항복응력 측정을 통한 왁스 젤의 강도를 측정하고 예측하였다. 또한, 왁스 젤의 강도측정을 통해서 정성적, 정량적인 예측을 시도하였다.

Apart from hydrates, asphaltenes, and inorganic minerals, paraffinic waxes are also very important in flow assurance area. Evaluation of wax gel behavior has been important as off-shore oil recovery becomes more popular in oil production. Restart after either planned or emergency shutdown requires pump operation in high pressure since a waxy oil forms troublesome gel. In this paper, vane method is introduced to determine wax gel strength by determining yield stress. Prediction of gel strength are discussed in qualitative and quantitative manners.
