Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil well leakage prevention and plugging materials, specifically to expandable pressure-resistant materials, preparation methods, and expandable pressure-resistant plugging agents. Background Technology

[0002] Intumescent and compressive strength materials typically refer to materials that can expand in volume when exposed to water, heat, or other external stimuli, and still maintain a certain compressive strength after expansion. These materials have excellent sealing properties and compressive strength, effectively preventing the leakage of fluids or gases.

[0003] Well leakage refers to the phenomenon where working fluids (including drilling fluid, cement slurry, completion fluid, etc.) leak into the formation under pressure differential during downhole operations such as drilling, cementing, and testing. Currently, bridging plugging has proven to be a highly effective method for addressing fracture-related leakage. However, the success of this method highly depends on two key factors: a precise understanding of the formation leakage pathways and the scientific formulation of the plugging materials. Traditional intumescent pressure-resistant materials have limitations in both aspects. They lack self-adaptive properties and are difficult to adjust flexibly according to changes in formation conditions. Some intumescent pressure-resistant materials that can adapt to formation conditions have complex compositions, cumbersome preparation processes, and difficulty in guaranteeing plugging strength, especially at high temperatures.

[0004] Chinese patent CN108219332A discloses "An Oil-Absorbing and Expanding Material and Its Preparation Method and Application." This invention relates to an oil-absorbing and expanding material prepared from the following raw material components in parts by weight: 40-60 parts rubber, 20-40 parts polybutyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, 2-5 parts vulcanizing agent, 2-5 parts vulcanization accelerator, and 10-20 parts inert filler. Using rubber as the main component, supplemented with synergistically formulated polybutyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, vulcanizing agent, vulcanization accelerator, and inert material, the oil-absorbing and expanding performance and compressive strength of the rubber base material can be significantly improved. The polybutyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer is a low-crosslinked high-molecular-weight polymer, insoluble in oil and organic solvents, but capable of absorbing several to tens of times its own weight in oil, thus undergoing volume expansion. Even under pressure, it retains 75-80% of the oil, playing a role in expansion. Rubber is plasticized at 60–80°C for 20–40 min to obtain plasticized rubber; the plasticized rubber is mixed with polybutyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer and inert filler, and then subjected to a first mixing at 120–140°C for 30–60 min to obtain a first compound; the first compound is mixed with a vulcanizing agent and a vulcanization accelerator, and then subjected to a second mixing at 60–80°C for 20–40 min to obtain a second compound; the second compound is vulcanized at 140–160°C for 30–60 min to obtain an oil-absorbing and swelling material.

[0005] Since the oil-absorbing and expanding materials in the aforementioned patents cannot be proven to simultaneously possess expansion and pressure resistance under high-temperature conditions, there is an urgent need to develop an expansion-sealing material with stable mechanical properties at high temperatures to improve the success rate of sealing complex leaks. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that the compressive strength of thermosetting resin materials under high temperature conditions is difficult to guarantee in the prior art. It provides an intumescent compressive material, a preparation method and an intumescent compressive sealing agent. The use of this intumescent compressive material realizes the high volume expansion of thermosetting resin materials under high temperature conditions while improving the overall mechanical strength of the material.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an expansion-resistant compressive material, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Preparation of the first mixture S1: The thermosetting resin is mixed with the first curing agent to obtain the first mixture;

[0009] Preparation of the second mixture S2: Mix the second curing agent with water to obtain the second mixture;

[0010] Preparation of the third mixture S3: Mix the first mixture and the second mixture evenly, add the accelerator and foaming agent, and stir for ≥10 minutes at 60℃~85℃ and 0.3~3MPa with the speed adjusted to 700rpm~3000rpm to obtain the third mixture;

[0011] S4 curing: The third mixture is cured at 0.3 to 3 MPa to obtain the expansion and pressure-resistant material.

[0012] In step S1, the thermosetting resin undergoes a crosslinking reaction with the first curing agent to obtain a pre-crosslinked body. In step S3, the second curing agent is added to the pre-crosslinked body, mixed evenly, and then an accelerator and a foaming agent are added before curing. Adding the first and second curing agents in steps, with the thermosetting resin and the first curing agent forming the pre-crosslinked body first, allows for easier control of the crosslinking reaction rate and direction compared to adding both simultaneously. Furthermore, the resulting pre-crosslinked body and the second curing agent are more evenly distributed, resulting in a material with high high-temperature mechanical strength and strong sealing ability for functional water.

[0013] This invention further reveals that: preparing the third mixture under high pressure allows for closer contact between the first and second mixtures, facilitating further cross-linking reactions and thus improving reaction efficiency. Under pressure, the wetting effect of the thermosetting resin is enhanced, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the pre-crosslinked body obtained in step S1 and the second curing agent. This leads to higher high-temperature mechanical strength in the resulting intumescent and pressure-resistant material, and stronger sealing ability of the functional water. Pressure curing significantly improves the structural density of the intumescent and pressure-resistant material, prevents delamination and bubble formation during curing, and enhances the material's mechanical strength and sealing ability. Furthermore, the pressure curing process allows for precise control of the resin content in the intumescent and pressure-resistant material by controlling the pressure, extruding excess resin and thus making its performance and structure more stable.

[0014] In the preparation process of the intumescent and pressure-resistant material of the present invention, a steam-driven process is used to seal functional water in the first mixture prepared in step S1 and then cure it. When the temperature rises to 100°C or above, the functional water sealed in the material boils due to reaching its boiling point, and its volume expands. The higher the temperature, the greater the expansion energy, and the greater the expansion amount. This preparation method simplifies the process of thermosetting shape memory resins, which must first be hot-pressed to achieve expansion, changing the linear expansion of the resin to a high-proportion volumetric expansion, with an expansion rate as high as 660%, significantly enhancing its adaptability to filling and sealing spaces.

[0017] Step S2-1: The second curing agent is a solid with a melting point ≥90℃.

After the second curing agent is completely dissolved, adjust the temperature to 60℃~85℃, add water, and stir at a stirring speed of 200~400rpm for 20~60min to obtain the second mixture.

[0018] Step S2-2: The second curing agent is a solid with a melting point <90℃. Add the second curing agent to water and heat it to 5℃~10℃ above the melting point of the second curing agent. After the second curing agent is completely dissolved, adjust the temperature to 60℃~85℃ and stir at a stirring speed of 200~400rpm for 20~60min to obtain the second mixture.

[0019] Step S2-3: The second curing agent is a liquid. Adjust the temperature to 60℃~85℃, add water to the second curing agent, and stir at a stirring speed of 200~400rpm for 20~60min to obtain the second mixture.

[0050] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] 1. In step S1, the thermosetting resin undergoes a crosslinking reaction with the first curing agent to obtain a pre-crosslinked body; in step S3, the second curing agent is added to the pre-crosslinked body, mixed evenly, and then an accelerator and a foaming agent are added before curing. Adding the first and second curing agents in steps, with the thermosetting resin and the first curing agent forming the pre-crosslinked body first, allows for easier control of the crosslinking reaction rate and direction compared to adding both simultaneously. Furthermore, the resulting pre-crosslinked body and the second curing agent are more evenly distributed, resulting in a material with high high-temperature mechanical strength and strong sealing ability for functional water.

[0052] 2. The preparation of the third mixture under high pressure ensures closer contact between the first and second mixtures, facilitating further cross-linking and improving reaction efficiency. Under pressure, the wetting effect of the thermosetting resin is enhanced, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the pre-crosslinked body obtained in step S1 and the second curing agent. This leads to a higher expansion temperature, higher high-temperature mechanical strength, higher porosity, and stronger sealing ability of the functional water in the prepared intumescent and pressure-resistant material. Pressure curing significantly improves the structural density of the intumescent and pressure-resistant material, prevents delamination and bubble formation during curing, and enhances the material's expansion temperature, mechanical strength, and sealing ability. The pressure curing process is faster, sealing in more functional water. The resin content in the intumescent and pressure-resistant material can be precisely controlled by adjusting the pressure, squeezing out excess resin and thus making its performance and structure more stable.

[0053] 3. The preparation method of the expansion and compression-resistant material of the present invention realizes a high proportion of volumetric expansion of thermosetting resin, thus enhancing its self-adaptive ability. Furthermore, the preparation method simplifies the process that thermosetting shape memory resin must first be hot-pressed to achieve expansion, changing the linear expansion of the resin to a high proportion of volumetric expansion, with an expansion rate as high as 663%, thereby enhancing its adaptability to filling and sealing spaces.

[0151] Test example:

[0152] The testing method of this invention is as follows:

[0153] 1. Expansion temperature test

[0154] Test samples prepared according to a 60mm×60mm×30mm mold were immersed in a heated oil bath. The temperature was initially set to 100℃ and maintained for 5 hours after stabilization to prevent expansion. The temperature was then increased by 10℃ every 5 hours until expansion occurred. After expansion, test samples prepared under the same conditions were taken and tested in the heated oil bath for 10℃ before and after expansion. The temperature was increased by 3℃ every 5 hours until expansion was achieved. This process was repeated until the accurate expansion temperature was determined.

[0155] 2. Compressive strength test method

[0156] The expansion and compressive strength materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples were made into test samples according to a mold with a specification of 60mm×60mm×30mm. The high temperature universal testing machine was used to test the compressive strength of the samples at a test speed of 5mm / min and an arbitration test speed of 2mm / min, respectively, at room temperature and at an expansion temperature above 30℃ (Note: Before the high temperature test, silicone oil was applied to the inner cavity of the test to prevent the high temperature expansion and compressive strength material from sticking to the instrument).

[0157] 3. Tensile strength test method

[0158] The expansion and compressive strength materials obtained in the examples and comparative examples were made into test samples according to a dumbbell mold with a length of 30cm. The samples were tested using a high-temperature universal testing machine at a test speed of 5mm / min and an arbitration test speed of 2mm / min, respectively, at room temperature and at an expansion temperature above 30℃.

[0159] Using the test method of the present invention described above, the expansion temperature, compressive strength and tensile strength of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0160] Table 1. Expansion temperature and mechanical property tests of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0161]

[0162] As shown in Table 1, the mechanical strength (including compressive and tensile strength) loss of Examples 1-3 at an expansion temperature of +30°C is relatively small. In particular, the compressive strength retention rate after pressurization is all above 25%, and the tensile strength retention rate is all above 20%. Furthermore, the mechanical strength retention rates of Examples 1-3, 2-3, and 3-3 under high pressure in steps S3 and S4 are higher than those of other examples in the same group. In Comparative Example 1, because the curing agent of the expansion and compression-resistant material is added all at once instead of in steps as in Examples 1-3, the mechanical properties at room temperature decrease slightly, and the retention rates of both compressive and tensile strength at expansion temperatures above 30°C are reduced, with a decrease in mechanical strength after high temperature. In Comparative Example 2, because no accelerator is added, the curing time of the expansion and compression-resistant material is significantly prolonged, reaching up to 20 hours, and the mechanical strength decreases after high temperature. Comparative Example 3: Because no water was added to the expandable compressive material and no steam-driven process was used, its mechanical properties at room temperature were unaffected. However, the retention rates of compressive and tensile strengths were extremely low above the expansion temperature of 30°C, and the mechanical strength decreased significantly after reaching high temperatures. Comparative Example 4: Because no foaming agent was added to the expandable compressive material, the steam-driven process could not be fully implemented. Its mechanical properties at room temperature were unaffected, but the retention rates of compressive and tensile strengths were low above the expansion temperature of 30°C, and the mechanical strength decreased significantly after reaching high temperatures.

[0163] 4. Test methods for expansion rate and delayed expansion time

[0164] The expansion and compression-resistant materials prepared by the examples and comparative examples with a size of 60mm×60mm×30mm (the original volume was tested by the drainage method and denoted as V0) were placed in a dry tin foil tray and placed in a constant temperature forced-air drying oven. The initial expansion time and the time required to complete the expansion were tested at different preset temperatures. The initial expansion time was denoted as the delayed expansion time t0 of the material.

[0165] Continue testing and record the time t1 for the solidified body to fully expand. Then the expansion time t2 = t1 - t0.

[0166] After complete expansion, turn off the power to the drying oven and allow the expanded body to cool. Use the water displacement method to measure its expanded volume V1 and calculate the expansion rate.

[0167]

[0168] Using the test method of the present invention described above, the expansion rate, delayed expansion time and completion expansion time of Example 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 at different temperatures were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0169]

[0170]

[0171] As shown in Table 2, in Examples 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3, gradually increasing the mixing and curing pressure resulted in a slight decrease in the expansion rate, an increase in the delayed expansion time, and a shorter completion time for expansion. In Comparative Example 1, because the curing agent for the expanding and pressure-resistant material was added all at once instead of in stages as in Example 3, the expansion rate was slightly lower, and the delayed expansion time was longer, especially the high-temperature delayed expansion time. In Comparative Example 3, because water was not added to the expanding and pressure-resistant material and a steam-driven process was not used, the expanding and pressure-resistant material did not expand. In Comparative Example 4, because a foaming agent was not added to the expanding and pressure-resistant material, the steam-driven process could not be fully realized, resulting in a low expansion rate, a long delayed expansion time, and a significantly increased completion time for expansion.
