Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-swelling agent preparation technology, specifically relating to an anti-swelling agent for fracturing and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is a core production enhancement technology for tight oil and gas and shale oil and gas reservoirs, creating reservoir seepage channels through fracturing fluid to create fractures and carry proppant. However, most oil and gas reservoirs are rich in clay minerals such as montmorillonite, illite, and kaolinite. After fracturing fluid is introduced into the well, it can easily cause clay hydration and swelling, dispersion and migration, and blockage of pores and fracture channels, resulting in a significant decrease in reservoir permeability and a rapid decline in the production enhancement effect of fracturing. This is a key problem restricting the efficient development of low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. Therefore, clay anti-swelling components are usually added to the fracturing fluid system.
[0003] Currently, commonly used anti-swelling agents in oilfields mainly include inorganic salts, ordinary mono-quaternary ammonium salts, and a small amount of silanes. Among them, inorganic potassium salts and ammonium salts are inexpensive and have significant short-term anti-swelling effects, but they have problems such as corrosion of tubing and poor inhibition of particle migration. Traditional mono-alkyl quaternary ammonium salt anti-swelling agents rely on the single cation charge neutralization effect to inhibit clay swelling, but they have few molecular adsorption sites and weak adsorption stability, making it difficult to build a dense hydrophobic protective film on the clay surface. Conventional silane quaternary ammonium salt anti-swelling agents can achieve rock interface anchoring modification, but the hydrolysis film formation rate is slow and the film uniformity is poor under low temperature conditions, and the anti-swelling stability is insufficient when used alone.
[0004] Patent CN 104277817B discloses a high-temperature anti-swelling agent for fracturing and its preparation method. The anti-swelling agent is made from the following raw materials in weight percentages: 10-40% quaternary ammonium salt-type organic cationic polymer, 10-20% shielding agent, and 40-80% inorganic salt. This anti-swelling agent contains a large amount of inorganic salt, which easily crystallizes, increases fracturing fluid residue, and clogs reservoir micropores and fractures. The quaternary ammonium salt-type organic cationic polymer is a quaternary ammonium polymer prepared by polymerizing small-molecule amines with epichlorohydrin. Its molecular structure lacks long-chain hydrophobic alkyl groups, and it can only achieve charge neutralization to prevent swelling, failing to form a dense hydrophobic protective film on the clay surface. Therefore, it suffers from technical shortcomings such as significant reservoir damage, limited permeability, and poor anti-swelling effect.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to explore a new type of anti-swelling agent for fracturing. Summary of the Invention

[0025] In step (4), the temperature for standing and ripening is room temperature, and the time for standing and ripening is 2 hours.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The anti-swelling agent for fracturing described in this invention uses cationic quaternary ammonium salt, hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and dimethyl octadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] ammonium chloride as the main anti-swelling components, adds tetrasodium iminodisuccinate to complex metal ions in formation water, uses isomeric tridecyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as a permeation component, perfluorohexyl ethanol polyoxyethylene ether as a drainage aid component, and sodium D-isoascorbate as an antioxidant component. At the same time, triethanolamine is added to adjust the alkalinity of the system. Thus, the synergistic effect between the raw materials ensures that the prepared anti-swelling agent for fracturing has a good anti-swelling rate and water washability.
[0027] (2) The anti-swelling agent for fracturing described in this invention uses cationic quaternary ammonium salt, hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and dimethyl octadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] ammonium chloride as the main anti-swelling components, with each raw material acting synergistically. Hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride is a single-chain cationic surfactant. Its quaternary ammonium positive charge is adsorbed onto the negatively charged sites on the surface of clay particles through electrostatic attraction. At the same time, the long hexadecyl chain can intercalate into the interlayer gaps of clay layers and / or cover the outer surface of the particles, forming a hydrophobic hydrocarbon film that hinders the penetration of water molecules, thereby inhibiting hydration swelling. The dimethyl octadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] ammonium chloride molecule contains C 18Alkyl hydrophobic chains can form a hydrophobic coating layer on the clay surface, reducing water wettability and hindering free water from penetrating into the interlayer. However, this molecule contains only a single quaternary ammonium site, making it difficult to simultaneously anchor different particles at both ends of the same molecule, thus limiting its ability to flocculate and capture fine clay particles. Therefore, this invention prepares a self-made organosilicon cationic quaternary ammonium salt. First, a bis(3-glycidyl etheroxypropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane is reacted with oleamide propyl dimethylamine to obtain a bistertiary amine intermediate. Then, the bistertiary amine intermediate is reacted with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride to undergo an epoxy ring-opening quaternization process, ultimately yielding the organosilicon cationic quaternary ammonium salt. The organosilicon cationic quaternary ammonium salt relies on the intramolecular quaternary ammonium positive charge to efficiently neutralize the negative charge on the clay surface and compress and diffuse the electric double layer, thus inhibiting clay hydration and swelling. It utilizes a twin molecular structure to achieve interparticle bridging and flocculation of clay particles, blocking the migration of fine clay particles. The hydroxyl groups in the molecular chain can form hydrogen bonds with the silanol groups on the clay surface. Combined with a hydrophobic isolation membrane constructed from long alkyl chains, this synergistically enhances adsorption stability and water-resistant anti-swelling ability. The siloxane backbone improves its interfacial compatibility with reservoir aluminosilicate minerals, achieving long-term reservoir protection. Therefore, the synergistic effect of hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl octadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] ammonium chloride, and the self-made cationic quaternary ammonium salt reduces the wettability of the clay surface, giving the fracturing anti-swelling agent excellent anti-swelling and swelling-inhibiting properties.
[0028] (3) The fracturing anti-swelling agent of the present invention also contains triethanolamine to adjust the pH of the system to a weakly alkaline state: on the one hand, it avoids the acidic environment from accelerating the hydrolysis of the trimethoxysilyl group in dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride, causing premature condensation and formation of siloxane gel, thus preventing its failure; on the other hand, it prevents the strong alkaline conditions from causing severe hydrolysis of the silicon group, ensuring that after the agent enters the formation, it gradually hydrolyzes and anchors in situ under the action of humid heat and water-rock; on the other hand, it stabilizes the chelating activity range of tetrasodium iminodisuccinate, ensuring its complexation efficiency for polyvalent metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, while optimizing the micelle stability of the cationic quaternary ammonium salt in aqueous solution, avoiding the system stratification or anti-swelling performance degradation caused by acid-base fluctuations. Since the formation water is rich in Ca 2+ Mg 2+ and Fe 3+Tetrasodium iminodisuccinate can effectively complex polyvalent metal ions in the solution, preventing them from forming insoluble flocculent precipitates that clog pores with the anti-swelling component. It also prevents polyvalent metal ions from compressing the electric double layer or forming insoluble complexes with quaternary ammonium salts, thus avoiding interference with micellar stability and anti-swelling uniformity. Isomeric tridecyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is used as the wetting and penetrating component. Its nonionic structure significantly reduces the interfacial tension between the agent and the reservoir rock, improves the wetting and spreading properties of the solution on the clay surface, and promotes the penetration of the anti-swelling component into the clay crystal layer, preventing surface adsorption only in the near-wellbore zone. Perfluorohexyl ethanol polyoxyethylene ether is used as the drainage aid component. Utilizing the ultra-low surface tension of the fluorocarbon chain, it weakens formation capillary retention resistance, reduces adsorption residues of the agent in the reservoir pores, and minimizes secondary damage to reservoir permeability. Sodium D-isoascorbate is an antioxidant component that addresses the oxidative chain scission defects of long alkyl structures such as cationic quaternary ammonium salts and silane quaternary ammonium salts under conditions of high temperature, dissolved oxygen, and the coexistence of metal ions. It slows down the oxidative degradation of quaternary ammonium cationic alkyl chains by capturing free radicals and reducing dissolved oxygen content, thus ensuring the molecular structural integrity of the anti-swelling main component. Simultaneously, sodium D-isoascorbate and tetrasodium iminodisuccinate form a synergistic effect: tetrasodium iminodisuccinate chelates Fe... 3+ Transition metal ions inhibit metal-catalyzed oxidation, while sodium D-isoascorbate removes dissolved oxygen and free radicals through reduction. Together, they form an antioxidant-chelation dual protection system, further enhancing the stability and long-term applicability of the agent in high-temperature formation environments.
