Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temporary plugging agents, and in particular to a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is one of the core technologies for increasing oil and gas field production. It forms a fracture network by injecting high-pressure fluid into the formation and improving the permeability of the reservoir. In multi-layer or heterogeneous reservoirs, temporary plugging technology is needed to achieve directional expansion of fractures or repeated fracturing to achieve a balanced transformation effect. Temporary plugging agents are key materials that need to achieve precise control of temporary plugging and unplugging under specific conditions. Traditional temporary plugging agents (such as inert particles, fibers or chemically cross-linked gels) have the following limitations: (1) Insoluble residues: quartz sand, polymer gels, etc. can easily cause reservoir damage and reduce conductivity; (2) Incomplete unplugging: backflow or acid unplugging is required, which increases operation cost and complexity.

[0003] Water-soluble temporary plugging agents have emerged as the times require. Their core advantages lie in their self-degradation properties, controllability, and environmental friendliness. These advantages make water-soluble temporary plugging agents consistent with the trend of green oil and gas field development. However, the most commonly used acrylamide polymer water-based temporary plugging agents currently have some problems during use: (1) They absorb water and expand too quickly during use, resulting in complete expansion before reaching the target position, which leads to a low plugging rate; (2) They lack sufficient stability and strength, making it easy for the structure to be damaged and the membrane to disintegrate. Therefore, in response to the problems existing in existing water-soluble temporary plugging agents, researchers need to develop a water-soluble temporary plugging agent with excellent strength, water solubility, and high plugging rate to meet practical application needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing comprises the following steps: Step S1: 10 g of acrylic acid, 3-3.2 g of sodium hydroxide, and 50 mL of water were mixed and stirred uniformly, and reacted in an ice-water bath until the neutralization degree of the acrylic acid aqueous solution reached 60%-70%. 9-9.5 g of acrylamide, 0.18-0.21 g of aluminum nitrate, and 0.15-0.17 g of potassium persulfate were then added and stirred uniformly. 0.5-1 g of sodium lignin sulfonate / graphene oxide (LSC / GO) was then added and ultrasonically stirred for 20 minutes. The mixture was stirred and reacted at 60-80° C. for 5-7 hours, filtered, and dried to obtain LSC / GO@PAA-PAM particles (LSC / GO particles coated with polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer). Step S2: 10 g of LSC / GO@PAA-PAM particles were stirred evenly in 200 mL of ethanol and heated to 80° C. 0.1-0.5 g of acrylate-modified chitosan was added and stirred for 30 min. 0.015-0.02 g of potassium persulfate and 0.02-0.03 g of aluminum nitrate were then added and stirred at the same temperature for 24 h. The mixture was filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing.

[0007] Furthermore, the acrylate-modified chitosan is prepared by the following steps: Step B1, 3-chloro-1-propanol, dichloromethane and triethylamine were mixed, stirred in an ice-water bath for 30 minutes, acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution was added, stirred for 1-2 hours, and then heated to 30-40°C for 12 hours, washed, rotary evaporated, purified by column chromatography, and rotary evaporated again to obtain an acrylate derivative; Furthermore, in step B1, the usage ratio of 3-chloro-1-propanol, dichloromethane, triethylamine and acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution is 0.01-0.03 mol:50 mL:1-3 g:20 mL; Furthermore, the acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution in step B1 is prepared by mixing acryloyl chloride and dichloromethane in a ratio of 0.01-0.03 mol:20 mL; Step B2, 5g of chitosan was swelled in 30mL of 3wt% glacial acetic acid for 30min, then washed with anhydrous ethanol until neutral, dried, and the pretreated chitosan was collected; the pretreated chitosan was mixed with 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid, stirred in an 80°C oil bath for 1.5-2.5h, then 1,2-epoxydodecane was added, the temperature was maintained and stirred for 8-10h, and an ethanol / acetone mixture (the volume ratio of ethanol to acetone was 1:1) was added and stirred for 10min, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain hydrophobically modified chitosan; Furthermore, in step B2, the amount ratio of pre-treated chitosan, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid, 1,2-epoxydodecane and ethanol / acetone mixture is 1 g:10-20 g:2-3 g:100 mL; Step B3, mixing hydrophobically modified chitosan, sodium hydroxide and tetrahydrofuran, introducing nitrogen, and heating with stirring to reflux, then adding an acrylate derivative, condensing and refluxing under heating and stirring for 14-18 hours, washing with ether, washing with water, and drying to obtain acrylate-modified chitosan; Furthermore, in step B3, the ratio of the amount of hydrophobically modified chitosan, sodium hydroxide, tetrahydrofuran and acrylate derivative is 2g:2.5-3.5g:50mL:0.5-1.5g.

[0008] The invention also discloses a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing prepared by the preparation method.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The water-soluble temporary plugging agent prepared by the present invention uses sodium lignin sulfonate / graphene oxide as a core, and then coats the surface of the core layer with a polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer to form a first shell layer, and then coats the surface of the first shell layer with acrylate-modified chitosan to form a second shell layer. The temporary plugging agent is used in oil well fracturing and not only has excellent plugging performance, solubility performance, and shear resistance, but also can improve the transportation capacity of the temporary plugging agent during the oil well fracturing process.

[0010] The sodium lignin sulfonate / graphene oxide in the core layer of the water-soluble temporary plugging agent of the present invention is coated with the polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer in the first shell layer through chemical bonding. The graphene oxide contained therein synergistically acts with the benzene ring structure in the sodium lignin sulfonate to form a stable structure, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the temporary plugging agent and maintaining good shear strength before being transported to the target location. After water molecules enter the interior of the temporary plugging agent, the sodium lignin sulfonate can absorb water and expand, synergistically acting with the polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer in the shell structure to increase the expansion multiple of the temporary plugging agent and the sealing effect. The acrylate-modified chitosan in the second shell is based on small molecule chitosan, and a small amount of hydrophobic alkyl long chain and acrylate structure are introduced on its surface by chemical grafting. Among them, the acrylate structure can be cross-linked with the first shell to achieve coating, and the hydrophobic long chain can use its hydrophobic effect to delay the water absorption and expansion of the temporary plugging agent in the initial stage. When the hydrophobic layer is hydrolyzed, water molecules enter the interior through the pores on the surface of the temporary plugging agent and use the internal hydrophilic groups to absorb water and expand. By introducing the hydrophobic structure on the surface of the temporary plugging agent, the migration ability of the temporary plugging agent in the formation is improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The water-soluble temporary plugging agents prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance tests: Solubility test: The dissolution time of the test samples in 80°C simulated formation water (total salinity of 7000 mg / L) and fracturing fluid containing 0.5 wt% guar gum was measured. The test results are shown in Table 1. Shear strength test: The material was fully expanded in simulated formation water (total mineralization of 7000 mg / L) at 20°C for 350 minutes. After the expansion ratio remained essentially unchanged, the shear strength was measured using a volume expansion particle strength shear instrument. The test results are shown in Table 1.
