Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of self-assembly emulsification core-shell polymer microspheres and its preparation method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polymer microspheres with initial particle size of nanometer micron level play a unique effect in deep profile control operation of oil field compared with other profile control agents, which can enter the deep formation, slowly expand and aggregate during migration, and effectively plug the pore throat by adsorption, bridging and other effects. Such polymer microspheres are generally polymerized by inverse emulsion method. According to the subdivision of microsphere particle size, the process is different, among which, nanometer level (initial particle size is about 100 nanometers) generally adopts inverse microemulsion polymerization, in order to achieve thermodynamic stability, the content of emulsifier is generally more than 10%; while micro level (initial particle size is 1-100 microns) generally adopts inverse (micro) suspension polymerization, although the content of emulsifier is lower, but the product stability is poor, generally several days or even hours will cause microsphere sedimentation and stratification; the microspheres with particle size between the above two generally adopt inverse (fine) emulsion polymerization, in order to improve the stability of the product, the polymerization system often needs to be homogenized before reaction. In order to improve the performance and price ratio of profile control agent and the profile control effect, in addition to improving the effective solid content of microsphere emulsion, the microspheres can also be designed into core-shell structure from homogeneous structure, the core-shell two parts have different electrical properties, after a certain time of high temperature aging, partial hydrolysis or degradation, the microspheres can attract each other to form larger aggregates, greatly improving the plugging efficiency of profile control.
[0003] Since the polymer microspheres for profile control generally use water-soluble monomers for polymerization, in order to obtain core-shell structure, generally a two-step method is used: first, mix the oil phase, emulsifier and water phase containing core monomers uniformly, initiate polymerization to obtain the core part of the microspheres, then add the water phase containing shell monomers, mix uniformly and initiate polymerization to complete the shell coating reaction, to obtain core-shell microspheres. However, since both water phases contain water-soluble monomers, mutual solubility or interpenetration is easy to occur, and it is difficult to obtain a clear core-shell structure; in addition, due to the increase of water phase monomer content in the second step, the content of emulsifier in the system is reduced, which will greatly affect the firmness of the emulsifier layer during further reaction, and will also affect the core-shell structure and the stability of the product.
[0004] It is well known that surfactants play a very important role as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization, mainly manifested as: before polymerization, dispersing and solubilizing monomers to form a relatively stable monomer emulsion, providing a place for monomer polymerization, stabilizing latex particles after polymerization to prevent coagulation, forming a stable polymer microsphere emulsion with a certain solid content and viscosity, and having a great influence on the polymerization behavior of monomers in the emulsion, latex particle size and distribution, and latex particle properties. Conventional emulsifiers are usually attached to the surface of polymer microsphere particles in a physical adsorption manner, and are easily affected by the external environment and desorbed and migrated. In order to overcome the shortcomings of conventional emulsifiers, researchers at home and abroad have developed many new types of emulsifiers, such as low-foaming surfactants, high-molecular-weight surfactants, easily-decomposable surfactants, and polymerizable surfactants. Among them, the polymerizable emulsifier has a functional group that can participate in free radical polymerization reaction in its molecular structure in addition to hydrophilic and lipophilic groups. Because of its polymerization activity, its reactive functional group can participate in emulsion polymerization reaction and be bonded to the surface of the polymer particle in a covalent bond manner to play an internal emulsification role, instead of relying on physical adsorption, making the desorption of the surfactant more difficult, and thus it is also called reactive surfactant or surfactant monomer. This kind of polymerizable emulsifier is actually an amphiphilic monomer containing a polymerizable double bond, containing a hydrophobic (lipophilic) carbon chain on one part and a hydrophilic group on the other part, which can be anionic, cationic or non-ionic. So far, people have used this kind of surfactant more in the preparation of water-in-oil type coating emulsion products, which can improve the water resistance of the polymer film, and less in the preparation of water-in-oil type polymer products such as microspheres for oil fields, and the structure is simple. For example, CN112661903A adds methacrylate as a polymerizable surfactant to replace part of the traditional small-molecule emulsifier, but the emulsifier content is still as high as 5% or more, and the system also contains 1-2% of an alcohol or salt stabilizer. A wide-distribution micron-level homogeneous microsphere with an effective solid content of less than 28% is prepared, which does not show obvious superiority in product performance indicators compared with general reverse emulsion or reverse suspension polymerization.

[0041] Technical effects
[0042] The self-assembled emulsified core-shell polymer microspheres and the preparation method thereof disclosed by the application introduce the long carbon chain polymerizable surfactant monomer, and after the core-shell polymer microspheres are prepared by the step-by-step polymerization, the long carbon chain polymerizable surfactant monomer is added and mixed fully, the monomer is arranged on the surface of the core of the polymer microspheres, the lipophilic end of the monomer points to the continuous phase, the structural stability and the steric hindrance of the emulsifier layer are increased, the shell water phase that is added subsequently is not easy to enter the generated microsphere core, and the active groups contained in the hydrophilic end of the monomer will participate in the copolymerization of the shell water phase monomer, which is equivalent to providing many riveting points on the surface of the microsphere core for the subsequent shell coating reaction. After the shell coating reaction is completed, the microspheres with clear core and shell are obtained. In this way, even if the content of the emulsifier is not increased, the shell coating reaction of the microspheres can be stably carried out, and the effective solid content of the product is further increased. Compared with the general polymerizable surfactant, the self-assembled emulsified core-shell polymer microspheres play a different effect. The self-assembled emulsified core-shell polymer microspheres can be directly used or compounded with other oil field chemicals for the field application of deep profile control, oil displacement and the like in the tertiary oil recovery of high temperature and high salt, medium-high permeability oil reservoirs.
[0043] The self-assembled emulsified core-shell polymer microspheres prepared by the preparation process have an initial particle size of 100nm-10um, and the product is stable and does not separate at room temperature for a long period of time. After being prepared into a microsphere profile control agent with oilfield site water and injected into a stratum, the profile control agent still has good swelling performance and plugging performance after long-term aging under high temperature and high salinity, and good technical effects are achieved.

[0080] From the material calculation, the nonionic emulsifier accounts for 1.3% of the entire reaction system, which is about half of the emulsifier content in the general reverse micro-suspension method for preparing micron microspheres.
[0081] According to the determination method of Q / SH3375 134-2019, the enterprise standard of Shanghai Research Institute of Petrochemical Co., Ltd. for temperature-resistant and salt-resistant polymer microsphere profile control agent, the extractable solid content of the core and the final product of the core-shell microsphere was tested, which was 22.0% and 32.1% respectively, and the initial particle size test was 5.86 μm and 6.32 μm respectively; in addition, the core and shell emulsion of the microsphere were refined into dry powder according to the method in the above standard, and the Zeta potential test was carried out, the potential of the core and shell of the microsphere was 28.3 mV and-8.2 mV respectively.

[0083]
Comparative Example 1
[0084] The same as example 1, first add 1000g No.7 white oil, 180g Span80, 12g Tween60, 0.1g AIBN in the reaction kettle, stirring until mixed evenly; add 530g water, 10g tert-butyl acrylamide, 400g acrylamide, 12g maleic acid, 100g dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (60%), 0.5g disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 2.5g methylene bisacrylamide in a beaker, stirring to dissolve evenly as water phase I; add 410g water, 28g 2-acrylamido-2-methylsulfonic acid sodium, 510g acrylamide, 0.5g disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 1.0g methylene bisacrylamide in another beaker, stirring to dissolve evenly as water phase II; prepare 20% aqueous solution of ammonium persulfate and sodium bisulfite separately for standby. Add water phase I into the reaction kettle, continuously stirring at 500 rpm, control the temperature in the reaction kettle at 20℃, deoxidize for 0.5h by nitrogen, then drop 5g ammonium persulfate aqueous solution, stirring for 10min until uniform, then drop 7g sodium bisulfite aqueous solution to initiate polymerization, the temperature rises rapidly to 88℃ after a few minutes, continue to react for 1h, get nearly transparent polymer microspheres core part; reduce the temperature in the kettle to below 30℃, add 0.2g AIBN, stirring until uniform, then add water phase II into the formed core emulsion, stirring and deoxidizing for 0.5h by nitrogen, drop 10g ammonium persulfate aqueous solution, stirring for 10min until uniform, then drop 12g sodium bisulfite aqueous solution to initiate polymerization, the temperature rises rapidly to 81℃ after a few minutes, continue to react for 1h, get nearly transparent polymer microspheres. But gel particles appear in both steps of reaction under naked eye.
[0085] From the comparison between comparative example 1 and example 1, it can be seen that when the nonionic emulsifier still accounts for 6.0% of the entire reaction system, the long carbon chain polymerizable surfactant monomer is removed, and gel particles appear during the encapsulation polymerization process, indicating that the system stability is poor.
[0086] According to the determination method of Q / SH3375 134-2019 China Petroleum Chemical Co., Ltd. Shanghai Research Institute of Petroleum Chemical Enterprise Standard "Temperature-resistant and salt-resistant polymer microsphere profile control agent", the initial particle size is composed of a bimodal distribution of about 100nm and 1μm, the core and shell emulsion of the microspheres are refined into dry powder according to the method in the above standard, and the Zeta potential test is carried out, the potential of the core and shell of the microspheres is 28.7mV and 15.6mV respectively. The above data show that not only the particle size of the microspheres becomes larger and wider, but also interpenetration is formed between the core and shell, resulting in partial neutralization of the anionic charge of the shell by the cationic charge of the core.

However, gel particles appeared in the shell reaction which could be seen by naked eye.
[0090] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 2 and Example 3, when the non-ionic emulsifier still accounts for 3.8% of the entire reaction system, the polymerizable surfactant monomer in the water phase is removed, and gel particles appear in the shell polymerization process, indicating that the system stability is poor.

[0094] The same as Example 5, except that the long carbon chain polymerizable monomer dimethyl octadecyl allyl ammonium chloride was replaced by the short carbon chain hydrophobic monomer styrene sodium sulfonate, and as a result, visible gel particles appeared in the process of encapsulation, indicating that the short carbon chain hydrophobic monomer did not play a stabilizing role when the subsequent water phase was added.

[0102] Table 1 Properties of self-emulsifying core-shell polymer microspheres prepared by adding long carbon chain polymerizable surfactant monomer
[0103]
[0104] As shown in Table 1, the self-assembled emulsifying core-shell polymer microspheres prepared by the example scheme have excellent product stability and plugging performance under high temperature and high salt conditions. The comparative examples only use traditional nonionic surfactants, or add short carbon chain hydrophobic monomers or ordinary polymerizable surfactants, and the stability of the coating polymerization process is poor, with gel particles. The prepared microspheres have wide particle size distribution, and the potential test results show that the core-shell structure is not distinct and is severely interpenetrated, so the plugging effect is poor under the same conditions.
