Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surfactant preparation, and in particular to a PPO / PEO block Gemini ductile surfactant suitable for high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Surfactants are a core component of chemical flooding for enhanced oil recovery, demonstrating excellent performance in processes such as alkali-surfactant-polymer flooding (ASP) and surfactant-polymer flooding (SP). Surfactants significantly improve oil displacement efficiency and, in turn, significantly increase crude oil recovery by reducing oil-water interfacial tension, altering rock wettability, and promoting crude oil emulsification and solubilization. Compared to traditional water flooding, surfactant flooding can increase crude oil recovery by over 20%. As secondary oil recovery enters its later stages, chemical flooding technology is expanding from oilfields with reservoir temperatures <50°C and salinity <1000 mg / L to high-temperature, high-salinity reservoirs, placing higher demands on the performance of surfactants.

[0003] The most widely used anionic surfactants in the process of enhancing oil recovery in conventional oil reservoirs include sulfonates, sulfates, and carboxylates. Among them, carboxylate surfactants, due to their carboxylic acid structure, not only have the advantages of natural biodegradation and environmental friendliness, but also exhibit good foaming, wetting and emulsifying properties. However, since the carboxylate group is easily precipitated with metal ions and the chemical bond stability is poor, its solubility and salt resistance are poor and it is easy to decompose in strong acid, strong alkali and high temperature environments. The sulfate-type surfactants have a strong hydrophilic sulfate group, which exhibits excellent interfacial activity, foaming, wetting reversal and emulsification stability, but because high concentrations of salt ions will shield its charge, destroy the stability of the micelles and easily react with Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ The formation of precipitation, and the high polarity and low bond energy of the SO bond of the sulfate ester are easily hydrolyzed and inactivated under high temperature conditions, making sulfate surfactants less resistant to temperature and salt. Therefore, the development of efficient surfactants is the key to improving EOR.

[0004] Compared with other types of surfactants, sulfonate surfactants have -SO3 -Connected by chemical bond, there is rigid sulfonic acid group, higher chemical stability, also show higher interfacial activity, efficient wettability reversibility, good emulsification and solubilizing ability, stronger acid and alkali resistance and temperature resistant characteristic, can preferably meet the requirement of tertiary oil recovery technology, but, under high salt environment, the strong electrostatic interaction between salt ion and sulfonate radical can cause surfactant molecule to separate out or form insoluble precipitation, reduce its salt tolerance, be difficult to meet the mining requirement of high mineralization oil reservoir, thus limit the application of such surfactant in extreme oil reservoir environment. Therefore, conventional surfactant cannot adapt to the oil reservoir environment of high temperature and high salt, and it is urgent to develop new surfactant. For this problem, prior art (such as patent CN102040994B) proposes the solution of aminosulfonic acid type amphoteric surfactant compounding, but the compounding system still has the problems such as poor compatibility, synergistic effect uncontrollable. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the technical problem that the existing surfactants have insufficient temperature and salt resistance during oil production, which leads to limited improvement in oil recovery rate, and to provide Gemini-type surfactants with excellent temperature and salt resistance. This surfactant can still achieve ultra-low interfacial tension (on the order of 10-3mN / m) in a 9.0% NaCl high salinity environment under high temperature conditions of 70°C. The surfactant series products developed by the present invention not only significantly improve the crude oil recovery rate, but also break through the performance bottleneck of traditional surfactants in high temperature and high salt environments, and achieve a synergistic improvement in temperature resistance and salt resistance.

[0032] (1) The present invention provides a method for preparing a PPO / PEO block Gemini ductile surfactant suitable for high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs. The PPO-PEO block significantly improves the temperature and salt resistance of the surfactant through the synergistic effect of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity: the PPO block forms a compact micelle structure at high temperature by virtue of the hydrophobicity and steric hindrance effect of its methyl side chain, enhancing thermal stability and blocking salt ion penetration; at the same time, the PEO block forms a hydration layer through its flexible chain, which not only maintains the hydrophilicity of the molecule but also wraps the anionic groups through the curled structure, effectively shielding the electrostatic effect of high-valent salt ions. The dynamic balance between the two enables the molecule to maintain structural integrity and solubility in a high-temperature and high-salinity environment, thereby exhibiting excellent temperature and salt resistance.

[0106] S1. 120 g of hexadecanol was added as a starting material to a polymerization reactor, along with 1.30 g of potassium hydroxide as a catalyst and 6.15 g of 18-crown ether-6 as a complexing agent. 287.60 g of propylene oxide was added at 130 ° C for propoxylation reaction, followed by 218.20 g of ethylene oxide at 125 ° C for ethoxylation reaction to polymerize APO10EO10. The structural formula of APO10EO10 is as follows:

[0107]

[0108] S2. 30.00 g of maleic anhydride and 21.37 g of triethylene glycol were added to a flask, and 0.54 g of anhydrous sodium acetate was added as a catalyst. The mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was accelerated by heating and introducing a catalyst to obtain a linker. The linker structure is as follows:

[0109]

[0110] S3. 60.00 g of APO10EO10 and 6.60 g of a linker were added to a flask, 1.34 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added as a catalyst, and molecular sieves were added as a water scavenger. The mixture was stirred at 145 ° C under negative pressure for 8 hours to obtain T-APO10EO10. The structural formula of T-APO10EO10 is as follows:

[0111]

[0112] S4. 30.00 g of T-APO10EO10 and 9.45 g of a 35% aqueous solution of sodium bisulfite were added to a flask, 0.90 g of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide was added as a catalyst, and stirred at 104 ° C for 14 hours to give the final product T-APO10EO10-S, T-APO10EO10-S structural formula:

[0113]

[0114] As shown in Figure 2-3, the target product of Example 1-6 was subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectrum analysis, confirming that the synthesized product is the target product. The analysis of Figure 2 is as follows: the characteristic signal observed at a is attributed to the -(CH3)- group of the fatty alcohol, the characteristic signal observed at b is attributed to the -(CH3)- and -(CH2)- groups and -(CH2(CH3))- groups of the hydrophobic part of the PPO block; the chemical shift detected at c is determined to correspond to the -(CH2-CH2-O)- group; the obvious peak at d is attributed to the -CH(NaHSO3)- group; and the peak at e is attributed to the -(CH-C=O)- group.

[0115] Salt tolerance test: A precisely prepared aqueous solution containing 0.3wt% surfactant was added, and the salt concentration was adjusted by adding varying amounts of NaCl. The dynamic interfacial tension between the solution and liquid paraffin was measured using a spinning drop interfacial tension meter at a constant temperature of 45°C. This evaluated the ability and stability to achieve ultra-low interfacial tension under varying salinity conditions.

[0116] Temperature resistance test: A precisely prepared aqueous solution containing 0.3wt% surfactant was added, and the salt concentration was adjusted to 9.0% by adding a certain amount of NaCl. The dynamic interfacial tension between the solution and liquid paraffin was measured using a spinning drop interfacial tension meter at different temperatures to evaluate the ability and stability to achieve ultra-low interfacial tension under different temperature conditions.

[0117] Table 1 Oil-water interfacial tension of surfactants prepared in Examples 1-6 at different salt concentrations at 45°C

[0118]

[0119] The results of salt tolerance testing are shown in Table 1. The IFT of the T-APOnEm-S surfactant-liquid paraffin-brine system exhibited a regular pattern with salinity. With increasing NaCl concentration, the IFT first decreased and then increased, with all synthesized T-APOnEm-S surfactants reaching 10-3 mN / m. Notably, T-APO10EO4-S was able to stably maintain an ultra-low oil-water interfacial tension of 10-3 mN / m in 3%-7% NaCl, while T-APO10EO8-S also exhibited excellent interfacial activity in 7%-11% NaCl, maintaining an oil-water interfacial tension level of 10-3 mN / m. These results demonstrate the stable temperature resistance of T-APOnEOm-S.

[0121]

[0122] The results of the temperature resistance tests are shown in Table 2. The results show that the IFT of T-APOnEOm-S (n=10; m=0, 2, 4, 6) increases monotonically with increasing temperature, while the IFT of T-APOnEOm-S (n=10; m=8, 10) decreases first and then increases. At 70°C, T-APO10EO8-S and T-APO10EO10-S maintain an ultra-low oil-water interfacial tension of 10-3 mN / m, while T-APO10EO10-S maintains a constant 10-2 mN / m even at 120°C. These results demonstrate the stable temperature resistance of T-APOnEOm-S.

[0123] The Gemini sulfonate surfactant containing PPO-PEO blocks provided by the present invention exhibits significant advantages due to its intramolecular collaborative design: its PPO segment constructs a high-temperature resistant hydrophobic skeleton, the PEO segment enhances solubility, and the unique double-chain Gemini structure further achieves extremely low critical micelle concentration, ultra-low interfacial tension and high-temperature and high-salt stability. It can integrate multiple functions without the need for compounding, avoiding performance fluctuations, cost increases and environmental risks caused by compounding, and providing a more efficient and stable monomer solution for harsh oil reservoir conditions.

[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
