Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil recovery, and further relates to a fast-dissolving oil displacement polymer, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polymer flooding is an important technical means for realizing "increased production and high production" in offshore oilfields. In the development and application process of tertiary oil recovery in offshore oilfields, the special structure of the oil recovery platform and the limitation of available space make it difficult to popularize and apply the polymer injection station and the gap liquid preparation mode used in land oilfields. Although the Chinese invention patent CN204252982U discloses a modular skid-type polymer injection system capable of realizing continuous liquid preparation and online maturation, which is used to replace the existing gap liquid preparation and polymer injection system in land oilfields, shorten the maturation time, and realize the purpose of improving the oil recovery of offshore oilfields. However, the polymer used for offshore injection is prepared by using sewage, and the online maturation time is short, which leads to incomplete dissolution, increased flow resistance, increased working load of the polymer injection pump, and high injection pressure of the polymer injection well. Within a certain time range, the formation will be blocked. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a fast-dissolving oil displacement polymer suitable for offshore polymer flooding. The existing technology for increasing the dissolution speed of the polymer includes introducing water-soluble monomers, adding a dissolving agent, and changing the physical morphology.

[0003] In recent years, technologies capable of efficiently producing micro-nano bubbles have attracted more and more attention. Micro-nano bubbles generally refer to bubbles with a diameter of less than 50 μm. Compared with traditional coarse bubbles (diameter > 50 mm) and fine bubbles (diameter < 5 mm), micro-nano bubbles have a small diameter, and the small size effect is significant. Their mass transfer and heat transfer characteristics and interface properties are significantly different from those of traditional coarse bubbles. For example, micro-nano bubbles greatly increase the total area of vapor-liquid contact due to their small volume, and have a large specific surface area. Therefore, the large specific surface area of micro-nano bubbles can be utilized to introduce them into the synthesis process of traditional oil displacement polyacrylamide to obtain a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant fast-dissolving oil displacement polymer containing micro-nano bubbles, thereby solving the problem of long dissolution time of traditional oil displacement polyacrylamide. At the same time, the introduction of water-soluble functional monomers can significantly reduce the dissolution time of the polymer. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a fast-dissolving oil displacement polymer, a preparation method and application thereof.

[0005] The application prepares a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant instant dissolving oil displacement polymer, aiming at overcoming the problem of long polymer dissolving time in the prior art. By utilizing the small size effect of micro-nano bubbles, the micro-nano bubbles are introduced into the synthesis process of traditional oil displacement polyacrylamide, so that the temperature-resistant and salt-resistant instant dissolving porous polyacrylamide powder particles with uniformly distributed micro-nano bubbles inside and on the surface are obtained. In the powder particle dissolving and ripening process, the micro-nano bubbles are quickly penetrated and swelled by water, so that the dissolving time of the polymer is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the introduction of water-soluble functional monomers can significantly reduce the dissolving time of the polymer.

[0006] In the application, the micro-nano bubbles with a diameter of 20 nanometers to 50 microns are generated by selecting a suitable gas source. After the system is initiated to become viscous, the micro-nano bubbles are fixed in the system, so that the porous polyacrylamide powder particles with uniformly distributed micro-nano bubbles inside and on the surface are obtained. The existence of the small size bubbles inside and on the surface of the porous polyacrylamide powder particles can make the bubbles quickly penetrated and swelled by water, so that the dissolving time of the polymer is greatly reduced. In the structure of the polymer, the sulfonic acid structural unit with strong hydration capacity and the structural unit with benzene ring structure are introduced, so that the hydrophilic capacity of the side chain of the polymer and the heat resistance of the polymer are significantly improved, the dissolving speed and long-term viscosity retention rate of the polymer are significantly improved, and the polymer can be used as a chemical agent for offshore oil field polymer flooding and high temperature and high salt reservoir polymer flooding.

[0007] Meanwhile, when the average diameter of the micro-nano bubbles in the application is 50 nanometers to 500 nanometers, the micro-nano bubbles are introduced into the free radical solution polymerization system of the alkenyl monomer, so that the cavitation effect is generated. After the cavitation of the micro-nano bubbles in the system, a large number of hydroxyl radicals are generated, which are used to initiate the free radical solution polymerization of the alkenyl monomer. The micro-nano bubbles can assist the free radical polymerization, so that the polymerization efficiency is improved, the polymerization cost is saved, the degradation of the polymer at high temperature caused by the residual initiator is reduced, and the hydrothermal aging stability of the polymer is enhanced.

The micro-nano bubbles are uniformly distributed in the polymerization solution during the polymerization process, can realize intensified and efficient heat transfer, on the one hand, reduce the fluctuation of colloid performance caused by local polymerization overheating; on the other hand, in the drying process, the micro-nano bubbles on the surface of the colloid can greatly increase the specific surface area, intensify the efficient heat transfer, shorten the drying time, and reduce the energy consumption; on the other hand, the cooling time of the colloid particles is shortened, and the efficiency of the subsequent crushing and screening process is improved.

[0060] The treatment method of the colloid is granulating, hydrolyzing or not, drying, crushing and screening the obtained colloid.

[0061] The third object of the present application is to provide a quick-dissolving oil displacement polymer prepared by the above method.

[0062] The fourth object of the present application is to provide an application of the quick-dissolving oil displacement polymer in oil reservoir exploitation, preferably in high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoir polymer flooding and offshore oil field polymer flooding.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] The present application introduces the micro-nano bubbles into the traditional oil displacement polyacrylamide synthesis process by taking advantage of the small size effect of the micro-nano bubbles, so that the porous structure is introduced into the polyacrylamide powder particles, and the contact with water can be quickly penetrated and swelled, thereby greatly reducing the dissolution time of the polymer.

[0066] The present application introduces the sulfonic acid structural unit with strong hydration capacity and the structural unit with benzene ring structure into the structure of the polymer, thereby significantly improving the hydrophilic capacity of the polymer side chain and the heat resistance of the polymer, and significantly reducing the dissolution time of the polymer, and simultaneously significantly improving the long-term viscosity retention rate.

[0067] When the average diameter of the micro-nano bubbles in the present application is 50 nanometers to 500 nanometers, the "cavitation" effect can be achieved to initiate the radical solution polymerization of the alkenyl monomer, which can play an auxiliary role in the radical polymerization, can improve the polymerization efficiency, and save the polymerization cost. At the same time, the degradation of the polymer at high temperature caused by the residual initiator can be reduced, and the hydrothermal aging stability of the polymer is enhanced.

[0068] The quick-dissolving oil displacement polymer prepared by the present application is temperature-resistant and salt-resistant, and can be used as an oil displacement agent for polymer flooding in high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoir exploitation, especially in offshore oil reservoir. It can be quickly dissolved and matured in water with a temperature of 30-65 DEG C, a salinity of 5000-30000 mg / L, and a calcium and magnesium ion content of 500-2000 mg / L.

[0136] Comparative Example 1

[0137] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that no micro-nano inert gas bubbles are introduced.

[0141] Comparative Example 2

[0142] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that 3 g of acrylamide is used to replace the equivalent amount of N-[(4-sulfonamido)phenyl] acrylamide, and Comparative Example 2 does not contain N-[(4-sulfonamido)phenyl] acrylamide.

[0146] Comparative Example 3

[0147] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that no micro-nano inert gas bubbles are introduced into the system, and the amount of initiator is increased. 3.0 g of 2,2-azobis(2-imidazolinopropane) dihydrochloride aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 0.25% is added to the system, and redox initiators (3.0 g of ammonium persulfate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 0.2% and 5 g of sodium bisulfite aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 0.6%) are used to initiate polymerization.

[0148] Except for the above two differences, the raw materials, amounts, processes, and preparation methods of Comparative Example 3 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0151] Table 1: Performance test results of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0152]

[0153] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, by introducing micro-nano bubbles into the system, the average diameter of the micro-nano bubbles is 50 nm to 20 μm, and the instant oil-displacing polymer dry powder product obtained has a porous structure. The drying time at 50°C is 8.5-11.5 h, which is significantly lower than the drying time of 48 h at 50°C of Comparative Examples 1 and 3, proving that by introducing micro-nano bubbles into the system, the drying time of the system can be greatly shortened, which is of great significance for reducing production energy consumption.

[0154] The induction period of Examples 1-4, 7 and Comparative Example 2 is significantly lower than that of Examples 5-6 in which 5-micron and 20-micron bubbles are introduced and Comparative Example 1 in which no micro-nano bubbles are introduced, and is equivalent to that of Comparative Example 3 in which no micro-nano bubbles are introduced but the amount of initiator is increased, proving that the introduction of inert gas bubbles with an average diameter of 50-500 nm into the system has a good induction polymerization effect, can partially replace the traditional initiator, and reduces the use cost of the initiator.

[0155] Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 2 all introduce micro-nano bubbles into the system, and the dissolution time is 8-16 min, which is much less than the dissolution time of 100-102 min of Comparative Examples 1 and 3, proving that after the introduction of micro-nano bubbles, the dissolution time of the obtained polymer dry powder is shorter, and the dissolution performance is greatly improved.

[0156] From the dissolution time and filtration factor data, it can be seen that by introducing micro-nano bubbles into the system and introducing sulfonamide groups with strong hydration capacity, the solubility of the copolymer is significantly improved, and a porous polymer dry powder product is obtained, and the dissolution speed is greatly improved.

[0157] The viscosity retention rate of Examples 1-7 is better than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that the introduction of structural units with benzene ring structure into the system and the introduction of micro-nano bubbles after polymerization can produce polymer products containing micro-nano porous structure, and the viscosity retention rate is higher, which can greatly improve the long-term thermal stability of the polymer chain.
