Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field pipe rod threads, and particularly relates to a self-healing high-oxygen-concentration anti-corrosion thread sealing grease and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Problems such as corrosion and leakage of pipe rod threads are common during the exploitation of crude oil and natural gas. To ensure the integrity and economy of thread joints, oil and gas companies at home and abroad mostly use thread sealing grease.

[0003] In recent years, nanomaterials have been applied to petroleum thread grease, mainly nano anti-friction coatings. Such coatings can reduce the friction coefficient between threads and improve thread galling. However, threads coated with this coating still need to use thread sealing grease. Companies such as Bestolife have developed new thread grease products that combine graphite and other non-metallic additives. This thread grease does not contain any heavy metal compounds and achieves performance equivalent to that of heavy metal thread grease through the interaction of different combinations of synthetic amorphous graphite and other non-toxic materials. Tian Feng et al. from the Engineering Materials Research Institute of China National Petroleum Corporation invented a metal-free environmentally friendly thread grease. Different from traditional API thread grease, this thread grease does not contain any heavy metals, does not pollute the on-site environment, and does not cause harm to the drilling workers using it on-site. At the same time, this thread grease has good lubricity and sealing performance and can completely replace traditional API thread grease containing heavy metals.

[0004] However, with the increasingly harsh development environment and the complexity of downhole environments, the local corrosion caused by the failure of traditional thread sealing grease has seriously affected the safe service of wellbore pipe strings and cannot meet the requirements of major oil and gas companies for stable and increased production. Therefore, regarding thread sealing grease, in-depth research needs to be carried out not only on raw materials, formulations, and their compatibility, but also the entire process should be comprehensively considered to greatly improve the safety and service life of use.

[0012] Preferably, the expansion multiple of the expanded graphite is 180-200 times.
