Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oilfield chemical technology, and is a glycosyl amino sulfonic betaine surfactant, a preparation method and application thereof, and a cleanup aid for acid fracturing using the glycosyl amino sulfonic betaine surfactant as one of raw materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] Acid fracturing reconstruction technology is one of important measures for efficient development of oil and gas fields, and is a main technical means for realizing exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources and yield increase and yield stabilization of conventional oil and gas fields. In the process of acid fracturing, the well return fluid is usually rapidly discharged to the ground by relying on the formation pressure. When the formation pressure gradually decreases, the return rate is obviously reduced, and the residues in the return fluid are precipitated to cause plugging, resulting in secondary pollution of the formation, and thus seriously affecting the recovery rate. In order to solve the problem of difficult return of the return fluid after oil acid fracturing, the use of cleanup aid is a conventional means.

[0003] The cleanup aid is one of fracturing fluid additives, which can effectively reduce the surface tension and interfacial tension, reduce the capillary resistance, and improve the return rate and return rate, so as to reduce the formation damage. The cleanup aid is mainly composed of a certain surfactant and other surfactants, and usually an organic solvent such as alcohol ether is added to increase the oil-water mutual solubility or improve the utilization rate of the surfactant. The added inorganic salt can enhance the ability of the surfactant to reduce the surface tension and oil-water interfacial tension.

[0004] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN93120030.X discloses that after the reaction of bromoalkane and diethyltriamine, and then the reaction with chloroacetic acid, an amino carboxylic acid type amphoteric surfactant is also obtained. However, since the scheme is to synthesize a carboxylic acid type amphoteric surfactant, a non-long-chain fatty amine is used in the selection of raw materials, which relatively reduces the raw material cost. However, the generated hydrogen halide gas in the reaction process is not treated in time, but is treated by escaping or neutralization after the reaction is completed. If the hydrogen halide gas does not escape in time, the reverse reaction will be intensified, which affects the product yield, and the escaping of the hydrogen halide gas will pollute the environment.

[0005] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN106609136A discloses a fluorocarbon surfactant oil displacement system, a preparation method and application thereof. The fluorocarbon surfactant oil displacement system is prepared by using fluorocarbon surfactant, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate and anionic polyacrylamide as combined components of the oil displacement agent, and has good oil displacement effect, no alkali oil displacement system, good temperature resistance, and is suitable for the oil displacement system for oil field oil displacement. However, the fluorocarbon surfactant has high surface activity, and can reduce the surface tension to 23 mN / m. However, the fluorocarbon surfactant is expensive and difficult to degrade completely, and has high biological toxicity.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a green and environmentally friendly cleanup agent system. SUMMARY

[0015] The third technical solution of the present application is realized by the following measures: application of a sugar-based amidosulfobetaine surfactant in preparation of a cleanup agent for acid fracturing.
