Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the preparation and application of a double-modified nitrile rubber latex. Background Technology
[0002] During oil and gas field development, the complex environment within the wellbore, including high temperature, high pressure, and oil-containing media, often places stringent requirements on the sealing materials used. Traditional nitrile rubber latex, due to its excellent oil resistance and good elasticity, is widely used in oil and gas well plugging and sealing operations. However, as the depth of oil and gas field extraction increases, the temperature and pressure within the wellbore rise sharply, and conventional nitrile rubber latex reveals many performance deficiencies under high temperature and high pressure environments.
[0003] First, insufficient temperature resistance is one of the main problems faced by existing nitrile rubber latexes. Under high-temperature environments, traditional nitrile rubber latexes are prone to thermal aging, leading to a rapid decline in the material's mechanical properties, weakened sealing performance, pressure leakage within the wellbore, and even safety hazards. Furthermore, the unsaturated double bonds in conventional nitrile rubber latexes are easily chemically degraded at high temperatures, failing to meet the long-term sealing requirements of deep well mining under high-temperature conditions.
[0004] Secondly, the limitations of nitrile rubber latex's oil resistance also restrict its application in oil and gas fields. Although nitrile rubber latex has good oil resistance, it will still swell and deform when exposed to oily media at high temperatures for extended periods, leading to sealant failure and compromising wellbore integrity. Traditional modified nitrile rubber latex often cannot simultaneously maintain stability in both high-temperature and highly oily environments, resulting in a high swelling rate that affects its sealing performance.
[0005] Furthermore, existing differential pressure activated sealants typically rely on changes in specific environmental pressure for seal activation. Traditional sealing materials are prone to failure under high differential pressure conditions due to insufficient material elasticity and strength. In particular, the combined effects of temperature and oily environments exacerbate the degradation of sealing materials, making it impossible to guarantee a durable and effective sealing effect.
[0006] To address these issues, researchers have attempted to improve the properties of nitrile butadiene latex through single modification methods, such as hydrogenation or sulfonation. However, while single modification methods excel in some properties, they exhibit limitations in others. For instance, although hydrogenated nitrile butadiene latex performs well in high-temperature resistance, its oil resistance is not significantly improved; while sulfonated nitrile butadiene latex, although exhibiting increased polarity and improved oil resistance, still suffers from insufficient temperature resistance and poor stability at high temperatures.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual modification technology that can effectively improve the overall performance of nitrile rubber latex under high temperature, high pressure, and oily environments, especially enhancing its temperature resistance and oil resistance to meet the stringent requirements of sealing materials in oil and gas wellbores. By combining hydrogenation and sulfonation modification methods, it is possible to achieve a comprehensive improvement in the material's high temperature resistance and oil resistance, ensuring sealing performance under complex operating conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a double-modified nitrile rubber latex and its application in differential pressure activated sealants, in order to solve the problem of existing sealing materials being prone to failure under high temperature, high pressure, and complex oily environments. Existing sealing materials, such as traditional nitrile rubber latex, while exhibiting good oil resistance and elasticity under normal temperature and low pressure conditions, show a significant decline in performance under high temperature and high pressure conditions, leading to seal failure and failing to meet the sealing requirements of deep well mining processes. Furthermore, the swelling problem of existing materials in oily media also greatly limits their service life.
[0009] This invention employs a dual modification process of hydrogenation and sulfonation to nitrile rubber latex, significantly enhancing its high-temperature resistance and pressure differential resistance while maintaining good oil resistance. This is particularly effective in complex operating conditions such as oil and gas wellbore environments, providing long-term, stable sealing. Hydrogenation modification improves thermal stability by eliminating unsaturated double bonds in the molecular structure, while sulfonation modification enhances oil resistance by introducing polar groups, thus significantly improving the overall performance of nitrile rubber latex in harsh environments.
[0010] Therefore, the objective of this invention is to improve the high-temperature resistance and oil resistance of the material, so that it can avoid swelling or performance degradation when in contact with oily media for a long time under high temperature, thus ensuring the sealing effect in the wellbore. Through the implementation of this invention, the reliability and applicability of wellbore sealing materials can be significantly improved, and it is particularly suitable for wellbore plugging and sealing in oil and gas field development, as well as pressurized treatment operations in gas storage facilities.
