Effects Of Oilfield Injection Water Component On Rheological Characteristics Of Ctac/Nasal Aqueous Solution

The additive drag reduction technology has wide application and high economic value in drag reduction of oilfield water injection system. With CTAC/NaSal (cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride/sodium salicylate) aqueous solution as the research object, this paper explores the effects of oilfield water component on its rheological characteristics under the experimental condition of 10-60 degrees C, .1-1 000 s(-1), and 0.01-0.21 wt %. The experimental results reveal that the oil cannot inhibit the formation of shear-induced structure in the solution and strengthen the temperature resistance of the solution; NaHCO3 and CaCl2, two types of salts, have similar effects on rheological characteristics of the CTAC/NaSal solution. The solution viscosity increases first and then decreases with the increase of salt concentration. And the viscosity peak gradually moves to the left lower with the increase of temperature, which means that the salt tolerance of the solution decreases with the increase of temperature. Moreover, the Giesekus model has the best performance for describing the rheological characteristics of surfactant solutions. Within the experimental concentration range, the relative error is +/- 25%.
