Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of foaming agents for natural gas wells, and specifically to a method for preparing an integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells. Background Technology

[0002] During natural gas well development, as gas production progresses, formation energy gradually depletes, and the well's gas production falls below the critical fluid-carrying capacity. The produced gas is insufficient to carry the produced formation water or condensate to the surface, causing the produced fluid to accumulate at the well bottom. This severely impacts normal well production and can even lead to production shutdowns. In my country, a significant number of natural gas reservoirs have entered the middle to late stages of extraction, and most natural gas wells have experienced bottom fluid accumulation. Therefore, removing bottom fluid is crucial for stabilizing and increasing natural gas well production.

[0003] Drainage gas production technology reduces the fluid pressure gradient in the wellbore, improves the fluid inflow conditions near the bottom of the well, clears the natural gas migration channels, and increases the gas reservoir recovery rate. It is an effective way to solve the problem of liquid accumulation in gas wells, increase gas well production, and extend the self-flowing period of gas wells. Currently, the more commonly used drainage gas production technologies mainly include foam drainage gas production, plunger gas lift drainage gas production, and velocity tubing drainage gas production.

[0004] Foam drainage gas production is widely used in most gas field developments due to its low investment cost, ease of operation, and good field application results. In foam drainage gas production, a foaming agent is injected into the wellbore through the annulus of the tubing. Because the foaming agent has excellent foaming properties, it reduces the interfacial tension between gas and water. After being agitated within the fluid at the bottom of the well, it generates a large amount of stable foam, resulting in a large amount of discontinuous high-quality foam composed of oil, water, and condensate. This alters the original two-phase structure of gas-liquid separation at the bottom of the well, transforming it into a foam structure composed of gas and liquid mixtures, significantly reducing the fluid density within the wellbore. The reduction in the relative density of the fluid within the wellbore leads to a decrease in bottombore back pressure, increasing gas lift capacity, increasing the pressure differential, and gradually restoring gas well production. The accumulated fluid at the bottom of the well is partially or completely discharged from the wellbore. Simultaneously, some of the agent enters the near-wellbore reservoir, adjusting the reservoir's wettability through adsorption and restoring gas phase permeability, thus achieving the effect of reservoir repair.

[0005] Furthermore, injected foaming agents often have good emulsifying properties, forming water-in-oil (W / O), oil-in-water (O / W), or other more complex emulsions with condensate in the gas well. These emulsions are difficult to treat using conventional methods, and the dosage of foaming agent has a significant impact on the condensate emulsion, increasing production costs. Simultaneously, these emulsions adhere to the wellbore and enter reservoir pores, significantly reducing permeability and leading to a decrease in gas well productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate and control the foaming and emulsifying properties of the foaming agent to create a low-emulsification foaming agent for natural gas well production that has good foaming activity and does not easily form stable emulsions with condensate. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells and its preparation method. By combining suitable surfactants and additives, the low emulsification performance of the system is improved by utilizing the synergistic effect, thus solving the problem of large amounts of emulsion generated during foam drainage of traditional foaming agents.

[0007] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution provides an integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells, which includes the following components in parts by weight: 15-30 parts of alkyl sulfate, 5-15 parts of alkyl dimethyl amine oxide, 1-3 parts of fluorocarbon surfactant, 10-20 parts of stabilizer, and the remainder is made up to 100 parts by weight with water.

[0008] Preferably, the alkyl sulfate is one of the following: sodium dodecyl sulfate, potassium dodecyl sulfate, ammonium dodecyl sulfate, sodium hexadecyl sulfate, potassium hexadecyl sulfate, ammonium hexadecyl sulfate, sodium octadecyl sulfate, potassium octadecyl sulfate, or ammonium octadecyl sulfate. This invention enhances the foaming and foam-stabilizing effects of the integrated agent by adding alkyl sulfates.

[0009] Preferably, the alkyl dimethyl amine oxide is one of the following: dodecyl dimethyl amine oxide, tetradecyl dimethyl amine oxide, hexadecyl dimethyl amine oxide, and octadecyl dimethyl amine oxide.

[0010] Preferably, the fluorocarbon surfactant is a polyethylene glycol ester of perfluorohexanoic acid, perfluorooctanoic acid, or perfluorodecanoic acid, with a degree of polymerization of 200-10000. By adding a fluorocarbon surfactant, this invention enables the integrated agent to possess hydrophilic and lipophilic properties.

[0011] Preferably, the stabilizer is glycerol or ethylene glycol.

[0012] This invention also discloses a method for preparing the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells, which includes the following steps: adding 15-30 parts by weight of alkyl sulfate and 10-20 parts by weight of stabilizer to water with a weight of 1-2 times that of stabilizer and stirring evenly; then adding 5-15 parts by weight of alkyl dimethyl amine oxide and 1-3 parts by weight of fluorocarbon surfactant in sequence; and finally adding water to 100 parts by weight. The solution obtained after mixing evenly is the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells.

[0013] Preferably, when adding 5-15 parts by weight of alkyl dimethyl amine oxide and 1-3 parts by weight of fluorocarbon surfactant, the alkyl dimethyl amine oxide is added while stirring, and the fluorocarbon surfactant is added after the alkyl dimethyl amine oxide is completely dissolved or evenly dispersed, and stirring is continued to form a uniform drug solution.

[0014] Unlike existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. Low emulsification and self-demulsification effect: The integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells described in this invention utilizes a synergistic compounding of fluorocarbon surfactants and alkyl dimethyl amine oxide (an amphoteric surfactant). This effectively reduces interfacial tension and ensures foaming performance while significantly minimizing the formation of stable emulsions between the agent and condensate oil. In particular, the addition of glycerol or ethylene glycol stabilizers not only enhances the agent's resistance to temperature and salt but also achieves a "self-demulsification" effect, enabling the formed emulsion to demulsify and separate into water within a short time (no more than 12 hours), greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of subsequent oil-gas-water separation.

[0016] 2. Excellent foaming performance and drainage effect: The integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells described in this invention exhibits excellent foaming performance when prepared as a 0.5-1% concentration of foaming agent in gas well water (evaluated according to SY / T 6465-2000). Simultaneously, the foaming agent partially penetrates the reservoir into the wellbore, effectively restoring reservoir permeability, demonstrating that the foaming agent has the ability to effectively drain bottom-hole fluid and improve near-wellbore flow conditions.

[0017] 3. Synergistic formulation optimization, balancing performance and cost: The surfactants and additives used in the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells described in this invention are of industrial grade or higher purity, with readily available raw materials and controllable costs. The components are compounded through a specific addition sequence and process, forming a stable system with synergistic performance enhancement. While ensuring efficient drainage, it fundamentally solves the subsequent treatment problems caused by the strong emulsification of traditional foaming agents.

[0018] In summary, the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells described in this invention exhibits good foaming properties and low emulsification. When 0.5-1% of the low-emulsification foaming agent is prepared using gas well water, its foaming performance is evaluated according to SY / T 6465-2000 "Evaluation Method for Foaming Agents for Foam Drainage and Gas Production," with a Roche foam height of 16.8-18.9 cm. Its stability with gas well condensate emulsion is evaluated according to SY / T 5761-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method for Surfactants for Oil Displacement," with the emulsion stability lasting no more than 7 hours. According to GB / T 29172-2012 "Method for Determining Rock Permeability," the permeability of reservoir cores damaged by the injection of more than 1 PV of the aforementioned foaming agent solution can recover to over 65%.

Then, 11 parts by weight of alkyl dimethyl amine oxide and 3 parts by weight of fluorocarbon surfactant are added sequentially. Finally, water is added to a final volume of 100 parts by weight. The reagents are added while stirring, ensuring each reagent is completely dissolved or evenly dispersed before adding the next, until a homogeneous solution is formed. This is the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells.

[0108] When applying, prepare 0.7% low-emulsification foaming agent with gas well water and stir until uniformly mixed. Surface tension is measured according to the following standards: SY / T 5370-2018 "Method for Determination of Surface and Interfacial Tension" (Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Standard); Contact angle on the rock surface is measured according to SY / T 5153.3-1995 "Method for Determination of Contact Angle of Reservoir Rock Wettability" (Oil Reservoir Rock Wettability Determination); foaming performance is evaluated according to SY / T 6465-2000 "Evaluation Method for Foaming Agents for Foam Drainage and Gas Production" (Foaming Performance Evaluation Method); stability with gas well condensate emulsion is evaluated according to SY / T 5761-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method for Surfactants Used for Oil Displacement" (Oil Displacement) (Standard Method); and permeability of reservoir cores after damage caused by injection of the above-mentioned foaming agent solution at a concentration of 1 PV or higher is determined according to GB / T 29172-2012 "Method for Determination of Rock Permeability".

[0109] Testing revealed that the surface tension of the low-emulsification foaming agent in this embodiment was 20.7 mN / m, the interfacial tension with crude oil was 0.021 mN / m, the contact angle between the foaming agent and water was 111°, and the contact angle with oil was 81°. The initial foam height of the low-emulsification foaming agent was 18.7 cm, the foam height after 5 minutes was 17.0 cm, the height was greater than 10.0 cm, the emulsion stability lasted for 7 hours, and the permeability recovery rate of the reservoir core after damage caused by the injection of 1.4 PV of the low-emulsification foaming agent solution was 67%.

[0110] The results of the foaming and emulsification effects of the low-emulsification foaming agents in Examples 1-9 are shown in Table 1.

[0111] Table 1. Foaming and emulsifying effects of low-emulsifying foaming agents in the examples.

[0112]

[0113] As can be seen from the table above, the integrated reservoir repair and wellbore cleaning agent for natural gas wells described in this invention has good foaming properties and low emulsification. When 0.5-1% of the low-emulsification foaming agent is prepared with gas well water, its foaming performance is evaluated according to SY / T 6465-2000 "Evaluation Method for Foaming Agents for Foam Drainage and Gas Production," with a Roche foam height of 16.8-18.9 cm. Its stability with gas well condensate emulsion is evaluated according to SY / T 5761-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method for Surfactants for Oil Displacement," with the emulsion stability lasting no more than 7 hours. According to GB / T 29172-2012 "Method for Determining Rock Permeability," the permeability of the reservoir core after injection of more than 1 PV of the above-mentioned foaming agent solution can recover more than 65%.

[0114] The foaming and emulsification effects of each component used in Example 1 were tested using the same method as the monoclonal agent test in Example 1. The test results are shown in Table 2. Meanwhile, the foaming and emulsification effects of the components used in Examples 2-9 were also tested using the same method as the monoclonal agent test in Example 1. The test results are shown in Tables 3-10.

[0132]

[0133] A comparison of the data in Tables 2-10 and 1 shows that in Examples 1-9, the surface tension and other indicators of each individual component showed a certain degree of improvement compared to the low-emulsification foaming agent. However, in terms of key foaming performance and low emulsification, each individual component was significantly inferior to the foaming agent. Furthermore, the concentration of each individual component was higher than that of the foaming agent. In summary, it is clear that the individual components failed to achieve a synergistic effect of "1+1>2," and it is necessary to use a compound agent to simultaneously improve both foam drainage and low-emulsification effects.
