1results about How to "Strong emulsifying ability" patented technology

This invention relates to the field of oilfield chemistry, and discloses a betaine compound, its preparation method, and its application. The betaine compound has the structure shown in Formula I: In Formula I, m = 1-30; n = 1-15; R1 is a C1-C8 carbon chain alcohol or a C6-C8 aromatic alcohol; R2 and R3 are each independently hydrogen or methyl; R4 is a C1-C3 alkylene or hydroxylated alkylene; M ‑ SO3 ‑ or COO ‑ The betaine compound contains a large number of PO groups, increasing the size of the hydrophobic groups. Betaine percolators containing this compound, through the synergistic effect of the PO groups and betaine molecules, transform the active components of crude oil into low-molecular-weight components (such as fatty acids), reducing the interfacial film strength of the betaine and thus improving the deformability of the emulsion. The betaine compound of this invention can be used as a betaine percolator for fracturing in low-permeability reservoirs, further improving oil recovery.
