Description

The invention relates to the field of protection of gas and oil field equipment and pipelines operating in hydrogen sulfide-containing highly mineralized aqueous media from corrosion and hydrogen saturation, and can be used to transport oil and gas.

A known corrosion inhibitor used in hydrogen sulfide-containing environments, which contains the product of the interaction of 1 mol of fatty acid with the number of carbon atoms C ₁₀ -C ₂₀ and (0.1-1) mol of aminoparaffin with the number of carbon atoms C ₈ -C ₂₀ with the following ratio of components, wt. %:

the product of the interaction of 1 mol of fatty acid with the number of carbon atoms C ₁₀ -C ₂₀ and (0.1-1) mol of aminoparaffin with the number of carbon atoms C ₈ -C ₂₀ - 10-50;

nonionic surfactant - 10-30;

the solvent is the rest (Ac No. 2061091, MPK ⁶ C23F 11/00, 1996).

The disadvantage of using the known corrosion inhibitor is a relatively low protective effect (87-94%) at a dosage of 50 mg / l. Another disadvantage is the use of a poisonous substance - methanol, the latter has a low boiling point and is used in an amount of 80 mg per 10 g of the active base, and according to the description it is impossible to establish the conditions for the interaction of fatty acid and aminoparaffin.

Known inhibitor of hydrogen sulfide corrosion, consisting of a mixture of hydrochloride aminoparaffins (AS No. 652316, E21B 43/00, 1979). The disadvantage of the known inhibitor is its low effect at a dosage of up to 100 mg / l.

The disadvantage of the known methods of obtaining corrosion inhibitors is the low colloidal chemical properties of the inhibitors, delamination during transportation and storage, salting out when used in highly mineralized hydrogen sulfide media.

The objective of the invention is to develop a method for producing corrosion inhibitors that provide effective protection of metals of gas and oil field equipment, pipelines from corrosion.

The technical result when using the invention is expressed in the expansion of the raw material base and the range of corrosion inhibitors, and the result is a reduction in the cost of the final product.

The problem is solved by the claimed method of producing corrosion inhibitors for the protection of gas and oil field equipment and pipelines based on polyethylene polyamines and carboxylic acids, with distillation of reaction water and impurities. Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is used as polyethylene polyamines, which interacts with monocarboxylic acids, which are 2-ethylhexanoic (Ehexan.k.) Or oleic (OLC) acids, first at a temperature of 145-155 ° C for 4, 5-5.5 h, then at 255 ° C for 2 h in a molar ratio of TEPA: monocarboxylic acids equal to 1: 2, followed by the reaction of the obtained bis-imidazolines with acrylic acid nitrile at a temperature of 80 ° C.

The above result of obtaining corrosion inhibitors operating in mineralized and hydrogen sulfide-containing environments is achieved by the feature that TEPA interacts with 2-ethylhexanoic (Ehexan.k.) Or oleic (Ol.k.) acids first at a temperature of 145-155 ° C. , then at 255 ° C for 2 h in a molar ratio of TEPA: acid = 1: 2 with the formation of bis-imidazolines (1):

R = C ₇ H ₁₅ , C ₁₇ H ₃₃ .

The obtained bis-imidazolines (1) interact with acrylic acid nitrile (NAC) at a temperature of 80 ° C in a molar ratio of bis-imidazoline (1): NAC = 1: 1-1.05 for 3.5-4.5 h.

The essence of the invention is illustrated by the following examples.

Example 1. In a reactor with a stirring device, a thermometer, a refrigerator and a dropping funnel, 18.9 g (0.1 mol) of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and 28.8 g (0.2 mol) of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (Ehexan.k. ) in the molar ratio of TEPA: Ehexan.k. = 1: 2. The reaction mixture is heated first at a temperature of 145 ° C for 4.5 hours, then at a temperature of 255 ° C for 2 hours, and the reaction water and impurities contained in the starting products are continuously distilled off.

39.04 g (96.4%) of bis-imidazoline (2) are obtained.

Found,%: N 16.94. C ₂₄ H ₄₇ N ₅ . Calculated,%: N 17.28.

The resulting compound (2) interacts with acrylic acid nitrile (ACN) at a temperature of 80 ° C for 3.5 hours in a molar ratio of compound (2): NAC = 1: 1.05.

45.20 g (98.7%) of N-cyanoethyl-bis-imidazoline (3) are obtained.

Found,%: N 17.92. C ₂₇ H ₅₀ N ₆ . Calculated,%: N 18.34.

Example 2. Under the conditions of example 1, the reactor is charged with 18.9 g (0.1 mol) of TEPA and 56.4 g (0.2 mol) of oleic acid (Ol.k.) in a molar ratio of TEPA: Ol.k. = 1: 2. The reaction mixture is heated first at a temperature of 155 ° C for 5.5 hours, then at a temperature of 255 ° C for 2 hours, and the reaction water and impurities contained in the starting products are continuously distilled off.

66.94 g (98.3%) of bis-imidazoline (4) are obtained.

Found,%: N 9.56. C ₄₆ H ₈₃ N ₅ . Calculated,%: N 9.92.

The resulting compound (4) 68.1 (0.1 mol) interacts with 5.3 g (0.1 mol) of NAC at a temperature of 80 ° C for 4.5 h in a molar ratio of bis-imidazoline (4): NAC = 1: 1.

72.0 g (98.1%) of N-cyanoethyl-bis-imidazoline (5) are obtained.

Found,%: N 11.45. C ₄₉ H ₈₆ N ₆ . Calculated,%: N 11.08.

where R = H (4), (CH ₂ ) ₂ CN (5)

Examples 1-2 confirm the high yield of bis-imidazolines - 96.4-98.7%, as well as a high protective effect - 97.2-98.3%, provided that the declared parameters of the production process are maintained.

Subject to the deviation of the declared parameters of the process of obtaining bis-imidazolines and their derivatives, heating the reaction mixture of tetraethylenepentamine and ethylhexanoic acid at a temperature of 125 ° C for 1.5 h demonstrates a decrease in the yield of the product, as well as a decrease in the protective effect.
