Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of heavy oil recovery, and particularly relates to a heavy oil viscosity-reducing displacement agent and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The global heavy oil reserves are very considerable, and the currently detected recoverable reserves of heavy oil account for more than 70% of the total crude oil reserves. In addition to Canada and Venezuela, China is also a country mainly exploiting heavy oil reservoirs. Due to the characteristics of high viscosity and high density of heavy oil, the flowability is very poor, and the difficulty and cost of exploitation and transportation of heavy oil are much higher than those of light oil. Reducing the viscosity of heavy oil and improving its flowability is an effective means to improve the recovery rate of heavy oil. Due to the rapid decrease of market oil price and the utilization rate of steam in steam exploitation of oil reservoirs, water flooding of heavy oil has become an important technical means for heavy oil recovery. Due to the high viscosity of heavy oil, the water flooding resistance is large, and once the water flow channel is formed by the displacement liquid breaking through the oil phase front, the subsequent displacement liquid directly flows to the oil well from the water flow channel with small resistance, and the remaining heavy oil will be difficult to be recovered. Therefore, in addition to the emulsification and viscosity reduction effect, the heavy oil displacement agent should also have the water phase viscosity increasing property, improve the water oil mobility ratio, and increase the displacement liquid sweep area.

[0003] CN107365574A proposes a viscosity-reducing displacement system for ordinary heavy oil reservoirs, which is composed of small molecule surfactants and polyacrylamide, and has the effects of reducing the water oil mobility ratio and reducing the oil water interfacial tension.

[0004] CN107365575A discloses a viscosity-reducing displacement agent composed of nonionic / anionic surfactants, ester compounds, wetting agents and water, which is used in combination with polyacrylamide, can improve the water oil mobility ratio, and increase the heavy oil recovery rate in Shengli oilfield by more than 17.6%.

[0005] The viscosity-reducing displacement agents disclosed in the above patents are all composed of small molecule surfactant systems and polymers to form a composite displacement system, so as to achieve the effects of emulsification, viscosity reduction and displacement liquid viscosity increase. In actual use, each composition will be separated by chromatography in the reservoir flow, resulting in a large amount of reagent and poor deep displacement effect.

[0006] CN107383273 A invents an active polymer for heavy oil recovery, which has the effects of increasing the viscosity of water phase and reducing the viscosity of heavy oil, and can increase the recovery rate by 10-20% when the concentration is 400-3000 mg / L.

[0007] CN110041462A invents an amphiphilic high molecular heavy oil viscosity reducer, which can reduce the viscosity of 1000-10000 mPa.s heavy oil by more than 98% at a concentration of 200 ppm.

[0008] CN108546315A adopts acrylamide, alkali metal salt of acrylic acid, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxyethyl dimethyl dodecyl ammonium bromide and two amphiphilic dendritic unsaturated monomers to prepare an amphiphilic polymer oil displacement agent, which has the functions of reducing viscosity and increasing viscosity of water phase.

[0009] Li Juan 1 et al. (Research and application of water-soluble amphiphilic polymer in oilfield development. Oilfield Chemistry 2011, 28(02), 229-235) uses N,N dimethyl acrylamide, acrylamide and N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) monomers to synthesize a viscosity reducing system in an organic solvent. The organic solvent used in the synthesis is volatile and toxic, and further separation of the organic solvent is required after synthesis, which is complex.

[0010] In general, the viscosity-reducing displacement agent with viscosity reduction and mobility improvement functions is not mature, has a single type, a complex preparation process, high cost, and a small application range, and is often limited to single oil well application. New multifunctional viscosity-reducing displacement agents need to be further developed to expand the application range. SUMMARY

The viscosity-reducing displacement agent has hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, and promote emulsification and viscosity reduction of heavy oil. On the other hand, the viscosity-reducing displacement agent for heavy oil has a mobility improvement function, has a certain viscosity after being dissolved in water, increases the viscosity of the displacement fluid, improves the water-oil mobility ratio, and improves the sweep area of the displacement fluid, thereby improving the heavy oil recovery efficiency based on water flooding.

The infrared spectrum characterization results are shown in Figure 3 The strong absorption peak of 3436 cm -1 in the infrared spectrum is the -NH absorption peak of amine group; the absorption peak near 2938 cm -1 is the methylene absorption peak, and the infrared absorption spectrum absorption peak at 1684 cm -1 is the carbonyl stretching absorption peak connected with N (amide). The strong absorption peak of 1457 cm -1 in the infrared spectrum is the benzene ring skeleton vibration, and the strong absorption peak of 685 cm -1 indicates that the branched benzene ring is a monosubstituted structure. The infrared absorption peak of 1129 cm -1The strong absorption peak at the absorption peak of C-O-C is 1008 cm -1 Further, the product has ethylene ether structure unit. 1037 cm -1 The strong absorption peak is C-N absorption peak. 784 cm -1 The absorption peak of 1720 cm-1 indicates that the synthetic sample contains And n>4. The above test results can prove that the interface modification viscosity reducer A4 prepared by the application has benzene ring, polyether and amide structure at the same time, indicating that the ternary copolymer product is successfully polymerized in the reaction.
