Waxy not only increases the viscosity of waxy crude oil, but also precipitates and accumulates on the pipe wall, reducing the efficiency of pipe transportation. A strain of surfactant producing hydrocarbon degrading bacteria F-1 was isolated from crude oil contaminated sludge and identified as Ochrobactrum intermedium by 16S rDNA. After the interaction with crude oil for 7 days, the high-wax crude oil with a wax content of 15.2% could be treated with a wax content of 9.1%, the crude oil wax mass fraction decreased by 40.1%, the crude oil viscosity decreased by more than 21%, and the cell surface hydrophobicity reached 28.1%. The biosurfactant produced by the bacteria was identified as lipopeptide by Fourier infrared spectroscopy. It can form a 91.49mm oil drainage ring, which can significantly reduce the surface tension of the medium and reach 65% emulsification coefficient of the liquid paraffin.
