Problems solved by technology

These two kinds of microfoam drilling fluids are all anionic surfactant compound or anionic / nonionic surfactant compound, but anionic surfactant is sensitive to pH value and weak in resistance to salt and calcium, while The foaming performance of non-ionic surfactants is slightly poor, and the surfactants used are linear structures, with small relative molecular weights, poor sealing to the air core in the microbubbles, and insufficient compression resistance of the microbubbles. The air diffuses out from the foam, resulting in a significant increase in the density of the bottom hole of the drilling fluid, which affects the safety of drilling operations

Abstract

The invention relates to a cationic surfactant for a micro-foam drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof. The cationic surfactant is obtained by a vinyl cationic monomer A and a vinyl amide compound B according to the mass ratio of 10:1-10, adding a relative-molecular-mass adjusting agent and performing free radical polymerization. The average relative molecular mass of the cationic surfactant is 1000-4000. The preparation method is simple and practicable, the obtained surfactant is good in foaming performance and high in foam stability when being applied to the micro-foam drilling fluid, is capable of guaranteeing that the micro-foam drilling fluid has relatively low circulation density at a well-bottom high pressure, and is beneficial for reducing downhole complications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cationic surfactant for micro-bubble drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a surfactant for micro-bubble drilling fluid used in the drilling process of low-pressure leaky formations, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of treatment agents for oil field drilling fluid . technical background [0002] At present, in the process of low-pressure or underbalanced drilling in domestic oil fields, foam drilling fluid is often used to reduce the density of drilling fluid and ensure the safety of drilling construction. However, ordinary foam has a large particle size, which seriously affects the water feeding efficiency of the mud pump, and requires supporting gas injection equipment, such as compressors, production and gas injection equipment, etc., and the drilling cost is relatively high. In response to these problems, M-I Drilling Fluid Company of the United States and Acti-Systems Company j...
