Embodiment 1

[0039] A hydrophobic association hydroxyethyl cellulose oil displacing agent, the hydrophobic association hydroxyethyl cellulose is C12-hydrophobic association hydroxyethyl cellulose, R is -C in formula I 12 h 25 structural unit. The molecular weight of the hydrophobically associated hydroxyethyl cellulose is 1 million to 1.5 million.

[0040] Synthesis of Hydrophobically Associated Hydroxyethyl Cellulose: Put 6.6g of HEC into a three-neck flask, add 38mL of isopropanol (IPA), stir at room temperature, pass nitrogen gas for 0.5h, and slowly add 35mL of NaOH aqueous solution with a concentration of 3.0wt%. After swelling at room temperature for 24 hours, the temperature was raised to 80°C, and bromododecane-isopropanol solution (bromododecane 2.4mL dissolved in 5mL isopropanol) was slowly added dropwise, and nitrogen gas was introduced again for 0.5h. React at the temperature of 80°C for 6h; decant the product, filter the resulting product, wash the solid once with n-hexane, ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydrophobically associating hydroxyethylcellulose oil displacement agent. The hydrophobically associating hydroxyethylcellulose has the constitutional unit shown in the formula I. In the formula I, R is -C12H25, -C14H29 or -C16H33. The hydrophobically associating hydroxyethylcellulose is used to prepare 2000-8000mg / L of solution and the solution is injected in formationor core so as to increase the oil recovery. In the oil displacement agent, the modified natural polymer-hydrophobically associating hydroxyethylcellulose is used to replace the refractory polyacrylamide oil displacement agent with potential toxicity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil displacement agents, in particular to a hydrophobic association hydroxyethyl cellulose oil displacement agent for enhancing crude oil recovery. Background technique [0002] The crude oil recovery rate refers to the percentage of the accumulatively produced oil volume of the oilfield to the geological reserves of the oilfield, that is, the ratio of the recovered crude oil volume to the original underground oil storage volume. With the development of oilfield development technology, many effective methods of enhancing oil recovery have appeared one after another. In the initial stage of oil field development, primary oil recovery and secondary oil recovery are usually used for recovery. Primary oil recovery refers to the recovery of oil by using the original energy of the oil layer, such as solution gas drive and gas cap drive. Secondary oil recovery is the method of maintaining formation pressure, s...
