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%.
