Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield chemical technology, specifically relating to a biodegradable bio-based resin water shut-off agent suitable for medium- and low-temperature oil reservoirs and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the deepening of development, the number of high water-cut oil wells in some oilfields has increased year by year, seriously affecting the production capacity of single wells, the water drive efficiency of well groups, and the long-term stable production of oilfields, resulting in a year-on-year decline in oil recovery rates. Furthermore, some older oil wells have experienced casing perforation or damage due to various reasons, leading to deterioration of well conditions. After casing damage, the hydration and expansion of clay particles in the formation increases oil flow resistance, leading to a decrease in oil phase permeability, causing production losses, and simultaneously causing an imbalance in the injection-production well network and a decline in production levels. Moreover, casing damage can cause damage to the pressure system, making dynamic monitoring data acquisition difficult, seriously affecting the normal production of oil and water wells. On the other hand, the number of horizontal wells in oilfields has increased year by year. Due to the anisotropy of permeability in horizontal wells, coupled with the influence of factors such as cementing quality and staged fracturing in horizontal sections, the water injection situation around horizontal wells is complex, with severe external flow outside the casing, resulting in severe water production in some horizontal wells. Therefore, effectively managing high water-cut wells, casing-damaged wells, and external sealing issues in horizontal wells is of great significance for stabilizing production in old oilfields and accelerating their secondary development.

[0003] Currently, commonly used plugging agents in oilfields mainly include inorganic cement plugging agents, silicate plugging agents, polymer gel plugging agents, and resin plugging agents. Cement-based plugging agents have high curing strength, but they suffer from poor injectability and penetration, and are prone to shrinkage after curing, affecting the plugging effect. Furthermore, when plugging oil reservoirs, they can easily block oil flow channels, and the plugging agents are difficult to degrade, causing permanent damage to the reservoir. Polymer gels are the most widely used in oilfield water shut-off, but ordinary polymer gel plugging agents have poor dilution resistance and poor long-term stability, resulting in low plugging efficiency. Conventional resin plugging agents, such as epoxy resin and phenolic resin, have high strength, are difficult to degrade, and have poor adaptability to field construction. For example, Chinese invention patent application number CN107699219A discloses a high-temperature resistant, high-strength resin gel system that has a good plugging effect on crossflow channels; however, resin gels are expensive, have poor selectivity, are difficult to degrade, and can easily cause permanent damage to the reservoir. Chinese invention patent application number CN 113355071 A discloses a biodegradable high-strength resin water-blocking agent, its preparation method, and its application. This biodegradable high-strength resin water-blocking agent is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 79.2 to 88.6 parts of epoxy vegetable residue oil, 5.4 to 13.2 parts of curing agent, 0.8 to 1.8 parts of initiator, 4.2 to 4.8 parts of toughening agent, and 0.5 to 1.2 parts of reinforcing agent. The sum of the weight parts of the above components is 100 parts. However, this resin water-blocking agent is mainly used in oil and gas reservoirs with temperatures above 125°C. Under medium and low temperature (<120°C) reservoir conditions, the curing time is too long, and the strength after curing is relatively low.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a water shut-off agent with advantages such as low price, high strength, biodegradability, and anti-dilution properties, to provide technical support for improving the oilfield recovery rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing resin plugging agents, the present invention aims to provide a biodegradable bio-based resin water plugging agent suitable for medium- and low-temperature oil reservoirs, which can be used to solve the plugging problems of high water-cut wells, casing-damaged wells, and external sealing of horizontal wells.

In a high-temperature environment, the epoxy groups undergo ring-opening under the action of an initiator, and then associate with a curing agent to form a macromolecule with a network structure. The introduction of a reinforcing agent with rigid groups further improves the hardness of the resin network structure, thereby preparing a high-performance, fully bio-based thermosetting resin free of volatile organic compounds. This biodegradable bio-based resin water-blocking agent exhibits high strength, strong resistance to dilution, and excellent long-term stability; its compressive strength at 80℃ is greater than 60 MPa, and its mass retention rate after 60 days of aging is greater than 95%.

[0021] (3) The biodegradable bio-based resin plugging agent of the present invention is a liquid homogeneous system with low viscosity of the gelling liquid, which can enter tiny cracks and has excellent penetration performance, enabling long-distance plugging.

[0022] (4) The biodegradable bio-based resin water plugging agent of the present invention is mainly polymerized in the form of ester bond and ether bond. When placed in the resin degrading agent at a temperature of 80°C for 24 to 72 hours, the biodegradable bio-based resin water plugging agent can be completely degraded. The unblocking agent is a non-acid system. The solution after unblocking is similar to oil and water in nature and will not cause damage to the oil reservoir. Detailed Implementation

[0077] Using the biodegradable bio-based resin water-blocking agent prepared in Example 2 as the research object, the dilution resistance and long-term stability of the biodegradable bio-based resin water-blocking agent under formation conditions were investigated. The specific experimental steps are as follows: A gel solution was prepared according to the formula, and the gel solution was placed in a pressure-resistant bottle containing simulated water to undergo a cross-linking reaction. Then, the change in the mass retention rate of the resin water-blocking agent at different aging times (1 day, 30 days, and 60 days) was measured at 80°C, i.e., the ratio of the remaining resin water-blocking agent mass to the initial resin water-blocking agent mass. The experimental results showed that the mass retention rate of the resin water-blocking agent was 100% at 1 day, 98.5% at 30 days, and 95.4% at 60 days.
