Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of demulsifiers, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a high-temperature acidizing demulsifier. Background Art

[0002] The acid fracturing measure is an essential technical means in oilfield development. Well acid fracturing is an enhanced oil recovery measure to improve the productivity of low-permeability or blocked reservoirs. It combines the advantages of acidizing technology and fracturing technology, aiming to improve the permeability of wells and increase the conductivity of fractures, thereby enhancing the oil recovery rate. During the fracturing process, the working fluid (including acid fluid and fracturing fluid) used for acid fracturing injected into the formation contains a large amount of surfactants, which easily form stable emulsions when contacting with crude oil. Such emulsions will reduce the oil recovery efficiency and may also block the formation pores, affecting the flow channels of oil and gas. When the emulsion flows in the pipeline, the frictional resistance is relatively high. If the emulsion formed during the acid fracturing process cannot be well demulsified, it will bring great difficulties to the flowback after acid fracturing, resulting in the long-term retention of fracturing fluid or acid fluid in the formation, causing serious damage to the formation and affecting the stimulation effect.

[0003] The demulsifier in the fracturing fluid is a specially designed chemical additive, mainly used in the hydraulic fracturing operations of shale gas and tight oil reservoirs. The demulsifier can effectively reduce the viscosity of the oil-water mixture, facilitate pumping and treatment, improve the treatment efficiency and reduce costs. After the fracturing operation is completed, the returned formation fluid (flowback fluid) usually contains a large amount of emulsified oil droplets. The demulsifier can destroy the stability of these emulsified oil droplets, promote oil-water stratification, and accelerate the oil-water separation process. The fracturing operation is usually carried out at a depth of several thousand meters underground. With the increasing number of ultra-deep (>6000m) and ultra-high-temperature (>200°C) wells, higher requirements are put forward for the performance of fracturing fluid due to the reservoir characteristics and fracturing process characteristics. In a high-temperature environment, ordinary chemical substances may lose stability, decompose or fail, and conventional demulsifiers are difficult to meet the construction requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method and application of a high-temperature acidizing demulsifier. The demulsifier has good high-temperature resistance and can be applicable to the oil well environment above 200°C. At the same time, it has good storage performance and has extremely high market value and application prospects.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A preparation method of a high-temperature acidizing demulsifier, wherein the preparation method of the demulsifier is as follows: by mass parts, mix 4 - 10 parts of demulsifier SP169, 2 - 8 parts of non-ionic surfactant, 1 - 5 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, 0.8 - 1.5 parts of quaternary ammonium salt cationic fluorocarbon surfactant and 5 - 10 parts of water, and stir evenly to obtain the high-temperature acidizing demulsifier.

[0007] Furthermore, the preparation method of the non-ionic surfactant is as follows:

[0008] (1) Mix 1 mol of dodecylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, 0.6 - 0.9 mol of sodium hydroxide, and 2 - 3 mol of formaldehyde, heat up to 55 - 60 °C, stir evenly, and then keep the temperature for reaction for 7 - 9 h to obtain mixture 1;

[0009] (2) Add 2 mol of octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether to mixture 1, adjust the pH to neutral with hydrochloric acid, add 6 - 8 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, heat up to 70 - 80 °C to remove water by vacuum pumping, and continue to heat up to 125 - 130 °C for reaction for 5 - 7 h; obtain mixture 2;

[0010] (3) Add 4 - 5 mol of sodium hydroxide and 550 - 600 mL of toluene to mixture 2, mix evenly, heat up to 115 - 120 °C and keep the temperature for 5 - 7 h; cool down to 65 - 70 °C, add 3.5 - 3.8 mol of sodium chloroacetate, keep the temperature for 9 - 10 h, add hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to neutral, remove toluene and water under reduced pressure, add 500 - 600 mL of ethanol, filter while it is hot, and remove ethanol by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain the non-ionic surfactant.

[0011] Furthermore, the structural formula of the non-ionic surfactant is:

[0012]

[0013] The main component of the demulsifier SP169 (brand: Haishihua) produced by Hai'an Petrochemical Factory in Jiangsu Province is polyoxypropylene polyoxyethylene octadecanol ether, which is a demulsifier with good temperature resistance. However, its high-temperature resistance is not good above 200 °C, resulting in low demulsification and long time. By compounding the demulsifier SP169 with the non-ionic surfactant and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, the high-temperature resistance of the demulsifier can be improved, and good demulsification performance can still be maintained under the condition above 200 °C. The analysis is that after compounding, the rigid and planar structure of the benzene ring has high thermal stability, which can resist thermal degradation at high temperatures, thereby maintaining the overall structure and performance of the surfactant. Complementary enhancement is formed between the structures of the three surfactants, which can produce a synergistic effect and maintain stable interfacial activity in a wide temperature range.

[0014] Furthermore, the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is a mixture of three kinds of polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers compounded, and the molecular formulas of the three kinds of polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers are successively: C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 10 OH, C 16 H 33 (OCH2CH2)10 OH and C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 12 OH.

[0015] Polyoxyethylene (10) tridecyl ether, C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 10 OH, CAS: 78330-21-9.

[0016] Polyoxyethylene (10) cetyl ether, C 16 H 33 (OCH2CH2) 10 OH, CAS: 9004-95-9.

[0017] Polyoxyethylene (12) tridecyl ether, C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 12 OH, CAS: 78330-21-9.

[0018] Furthermore, C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 10 OH, C 16 H 33 (OCH2CH2) 10 OH and C 13 H 27 (OCH2CH2) 12 The mass ratio of OH is 1:1.4 - 1.8:0.2 - 0.6.

[0019] The inventors found that when the three polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers are compounded in a specific ratio, the surface tension of the demulsified liquid and the interfacial tension of the demulsified liquid of the demulsifier can be improved. The analysis is that the combination of different chain lengths can more comprehensively cover the oil-water interface and form a denser and more ordered interfacial layer, thereby more effectively reducing the interfacial tension.

[0021] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the demulsifier SP169 to the sum of the non-ionic surfactant and the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is 1 - 1.5:1.

[0022] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the demulsifier SP169 to the sum of the non-ionic surfactant and the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is 1 - 1.3:1.

[0023] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the demulsifier SP169 to the sum of the non-ionic surfactant and the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is 1.2:1.

[0024] In the actual use process, it is found that the demulsifier of the present invention is prone to phase separation during long-term storage. After analysis, it is because different surfactants may undergo phase separation during storage due to chemical property differences, resulting in unstable active ingredients of the demulsifier and affecting the use effect. Through a large number of experiments, it is found that when the mass ratio of the demulsifier SP169 to the sum of the non-ionic surfactant and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether is 1 to 1.5:1, the demulsifier has high storage stability.

[0025] Furthermore, the molecular formula of dodecylphenol polyoxyethylene ether is C 12 H 25 C6H4O(CH2CH2O)6H.

[0026] Furthermore, the molecular formula of octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether is C8H 17 C6H4O(CH2CH2O)8H.

[0027] The present invention provides the application of the high-temperature acidification demulsifier in the preparation of fracturing fluid.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] 1. The present invention provides a preparation method and application of a high-temperature acidification demulsifier. The demulsifier has good high-temperature resistance and can be added to fracturing fluid for use. It is suitable for oil well environments above 200 °C.

[0030] 2. By compounding the demulsifier SP169 with non-ionic surfactants and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, the present invention can improve the high-temperature resistance of the demulsifier and still maintain good demulsification performance under conditions above 200 °C.
