Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of foam drainage agent preparation, and particularly relates to an anti-salt foam drainage agent for oilfield development and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development, gas well liquid accumulation is one of the key problems restricting the stable production of low-permeability and low-pressure gas wells. As the gas field development enters the middle and late stages, the formation energy gradually declines, and the bottom hole liquid accumulation significantly increases, resulting in a sharp decline in the gas well production capacity or even shut-down. As an economic and efficient liquid drainage method, the core of the foam drainage gas production technology is to form a low-density foam system in the wellbore through a foam drainage agent, and use the characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow to carry the liquid accumulation to the ground. However, the application limitations of traditional foam drainage agents in complex oil and gas reservoir environments are becoming increasingly prominent. Especially under high-temperature, high-salinity and long-term production conditions, the insufficient foaming performance, salt resistance and stability have become the core bottlenecks restricting the technical effectiveness.
[0003] Patent CN112226219B discloses a gel-type foam system flow regulator and its preparation method and application. In this invention, the raw materials for preparing the gel-type foam system flow regulator contain 0.3-0.6% by weight of sodium alginate, 0.1-0.2% by weight of foaming agent, 0.02-0.05% by weight of calcium salt, 6-12% by weight of monomer, 0.4-0.8% by weight of initiator A, 0.1-1% by weight of initiator B, 0.05-0.1% by weight of foam stabilizer and the balance of water. This gel-type foam system flow regulator is suitable for plugging gas channeling in high-temperature and high-salt oil reservoirs, has good mechanical strength and structural strength, and has good shear resistance. However, there is still room for improvement in the stability and salt tolerance of the foam drainage agent prepared by this method. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above - mentioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. By adding the prepared main surfactant and co - surfactant into the preparation process of the foam - discharging agent, the stability and salt resistance of the foam - discharging agent can be effectively improved.
[0018] 2. The main surfactant prepared in the present invention is used as one of the main components of the foam drainage agent, which can effectively improve the stability and salt resistance of the foam drainage agent. The quaternary ammonium salt structure contained in the main surfactant carries a positive charge and combines with high-valent metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in formation water through the charge shielding effect to avoid salting out. The ether oxygen atoms contained can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, and the long-chain steric hindrance prevents salt ions from approaching the polar head of the surfactant, reducing salt sensitivity. Moreover, the formed dynamic hydrogen bond network can enhance the hydration stability of the surfactant in a high-salt environment. The hydrophobic tail and flexible hydrophilic chain contained in the main surfactant can jointly adsorb on the gas-liquid interface to form an interfacial film. The quaternary ammonium salt structure enhances the mechanical strength of the film and resists the film rupture caused by salt ions. The formed three-dimensional network structure can also improve the viscoelasticity of the foam liquid film and delay the foam collapse caused by liquid drainage and gas diffusion.
[0019] 3. The co-surfactant prepared in the present invention is used as one of the main components of the foam drainage agent, which can effectively improve the stability and salt resistance of the foam drainage agent. The polyoxyethylene chain contained in the co-surfactant forms a hydration layer, hindering the approach of high-valent ions to the polar head of the surfactant and reducing salting-out precipitation. The rigid azobenzene structure contained can prevent salt-induced molecular curling and improve the salt resistance of the foam drainage agent. The hydrophobic azobenzene group contained can co-adsorb on the gas-liquid interface with the polyoxyethylene chain to form a dense and elastic interfacial film, resisting the destruction of salt ions and thus improving the stability.
