Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field exploitation, and particularly relates to a heavy oil emulsification viscosity reducer composition with strong foaming performance and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] my country's heavy oil reservoirs are seriously heterogeneous, with a wide variety of types, and most of them are buried at a depth of more than 800m, much higher than foreign oil reservoirs. Due to the intermolecular stacking and hydrogen bond interactions, heavy oil exhibits high viscosity and is difficult to flow, resulting in an excessively high oil-water mobility ratio between the water phase and the heavy oil. Water channeling is prone to occur during water injection development, and the sweep coefficient is reduced. The high viscosity and low mobility of heavy oil also make it easier for it to remain in porous media, making it difficult to displace, resulting in low reservoir recovery and a rapid decline in production capacity. In order to reduce the difficulty of heavy oil extraction, it is necessary to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, increase the mobility of heavy oil, and improve the oil-water mobility ratio.

[0003] As the development of oil and gas fields enters the middle and late stages, foam flooding, as one of the tertiary oil recovery technologies, has gradually become one of the effective methods to improve oil recovery. Foam has the characteristics of high viscosity. By blocking the high permeability layer and opening the low permeability layer, it can effectively improve the sweep efficiency and increase the oil recovery rate of the reservoir. The addition of viscosity reducer molecules to the foam agent can effectively reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, improve the fluidity of heavy oil, adjust the water-oil mobility ratio, and improve the oil recovery efficiency. On the original basis, it can further improve the oil recovery rate of the reservoir while controlling the economic cost. Therefore, the application of foam flooding to heavy oil reservoirs in order to achieve the dual effects of improving the sweep coefficient and improving the oil recovery efficiency at the same time is of great significance to ensure the efficient development of heavy oil reservoirs.

[0004] For heavy oil reservoirs, reducing the viscosity of heavy oil, improving the oil-water mobility ratio, and increasing the sweep efficiency are key technologies and ways to significantly improve the development effect of heavy oil. On the premise of ensuring that the chemical agent has good emulsification and viscosity reduction performance, starting from the foaming performance, we develop heavy oil emulsification and viscosity reduction agents with strong foaming performance, and study the application of heavy oil plugging, viscosity reduction and oil displacement integrated technology in heavy oil reservoirs.

[0034] The thick oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition of the invention comprises alkyl amidopropyl hydroxysulfonate betaine, a quaternary ammonium salt compound containing a tertiary amine and a hydroxyl group, and water. Based on the total mass of the composition being 100%, the content of the alkyl amidopropyl hydroxysulfonate betaine is 10%-40%, preferably 25%-30%; the content of the quaternary ammonium salt compound containing a tertiary amine and a hydroxyl group is 3%-15%, preferably 8%-10%.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the structure of alkylamidopropyl hydroxysulfonate betaine is shown in Formula 1:

[0036]

[0037] Among them, R is from C6 to C 24 Any of the alkyl and alkenyl groups, preferably C8 to C 20 Alkyl, most preferably C 10 ~C 16 of normal alkyl.

[0038] The structure of the quaternary ammonium salt compound containing a tertiary amine and a hydroxyl group is shown in Formula 2:

[0039]

[0040] Wherein the group R1 is C 4-28 Any of alkyl and alkenyl, preferably C 12-18 normal alkyl; R2 and R3 are each independently selected from CH3, C2H5, 1C3H7 or C4H9, preferably C2H5; X is Cl or Br.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the composition further comprises a foam stabilizer and / or a co-surfactant. The content of the foam stabilizer accounts for 0-10% of the total mass of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer, preferably 4%-6%. The content of the co-surfactant accounts for 0%-6% of the total mass of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer, preferably 3%-5%.

[0042] The foam stabilizer is fatty acid diethanolamide shown in formula 3:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, R4 is composed of C8-C 20 Saturated fatty acids, C8-C 20 Vegetable oil fatty acids or C8-C 20 Preferably, C8-C 20 The vegetable oil fatty acid is provided by at least one of coconut oleic acid, cotton oleic acid and tall oil acid. 12 -C 18 Normal saturated fatty acids or C 12 -C 18 Provided by normal vegetable oil fatty acids.

[0045] The auxiliary surfactant is an alcohol having 2 to 14 carbon atoms, preferably one or more of n-heptanol, n-octanol and dodecanol.

[0046] The heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition of the present invention can be prepared by any appropriate method. For example, but not limited to: adding a certain amount of alkylamidopropyl hydroxysulfonic acid betaine, a quaternary ammonium salt compound containing a tertiary amine and a hydroxyl group, a foam stabilizer, a co-surfactant and water to a reactor, stirring evenly, to obtain a heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition with strong foaming performance. Preferably, the mixing conditions at least meet the following conditions: the temperature is 5-50° C., and the stirring time is 20-60 min.

[0047] The heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition of the present invention can be used in single well huff and puff production of heavy oil reservoirs. The heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition is combined with N2 or / and CO2 huff and puff. First, a certain mass fraction of the viscosity reducer composition is injected into the oil well, preferably the mass fraction of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition is 0.3%-5%, more preferably the mass fraction is 1%-3%, then a high-pressure N2 or CO2 segment plug is injected into the oil well, and then the well is shut down. The mass fraction of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition referred to in the application refers to the mass percentage of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition as a substance in water, which has the same meaning hereinafter. The strong foaming property of the viscosity reducer forms a foam system when it contacts with N2 or CO2 gas, blocks the high permeability pores, and improves the sweep coefficient of the viscosity reducer. The injected viscosity reducer forms an oil-in-water emulsion with the heavy oil, greatly reduces the viscosity of the heavy oil, reduces the flow resistance of the crude oil, and thus improves the recovery rate of the reservoir.

[0048] Two application methods of the heavy oil emulsified viscosity reducer composition of the present invention in chemical flooding of heavy oil reservoirs.

[0049] The first application method is to first pulse-inject a certain mass fraction of the viscosity reducer solution into the injection well, preferably the mass fraction of the viscosity reducer is 0.1%-3%, and more preferably the mass fraction is 0.3%-1.5%, and then inject N2 or CO2 plugs into the injection well. The viscosity reducer solution and N2 or CO2 can be alternately injected into several plugs, and then water injection is used for displacement.

[0050] The second application method: inject the viscosity reducer solution and N2 or CO2 into the injection well at the same time, preferably the mass fraction of the viscosity reducer is 0.1%-3%, and more preferably the mass fraction is 0.3%-1.5%. Preferably, the second application method also includes the following steps: after the foam blocks the crossflow channel, stop injecting N2 or CO2, and continue to inject the viscosity reducer solution, so that after the crossflow channel is blocked, the viscosity reducer solution can enter the non-crossflow channel, and use its emulsification and viscosity reduction function to improve fluidity. The above steps are repeated until the development is completed. The purpose is to fully foam the viscosity reducer solution and N2 or CO2 in the formation, circulate the plugging and adjusting effect of the foam and the viscosity reduction effect of the viscosity reducer on the heavy oil, and improve the development effect of the heavy oil reservoir.
