Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas well plugging, and particularly to a hydrophobic modified calcium carbonate for plugging. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources, the application of oil-based drilling fluids is becoming increasingly widespread. Oil-based drilling fluids possess advantages such as strong inhibition, good lubrication, high-temperature resistance, strong anti-pollution ability, and good reservoir protection performance, making them the preferred choice for drilling challenging wells. They are particularly significant for shale gas development, wells with special processes, and exploration and development of oil and gas resources in complex formations prone to collapse and water sensitivity. Research suggests that oil-based drilling fluids have fundamentally solved the hydration problem of shale and mudstone; however, complex situations such as blockage and wellbore instability still occur during application. Analysis indicates that the main reason is the insufficient plugging capacity of oil-based drilling fluids, which cannot effectively control the pressure transmission in shale and mudstone. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an oil-based drilling fluid with enhanced plugging performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] One aspect of the present invention provides a modified calcium carbonate, wherein the modified calcium carbonate is a hydrophobic modified calcium carbonate in which bispalmitoyl tartrate diester is bonded to the surface of calcium carbonate particles, and the particle size of the modified calcium carbonate is 1200 mesh to 1500 mesh.

[0004] In one specific embodiment, the mass ratio of the dipalmitoyl tartrate diester to the calcium carbonate particles is 1:(45-55).

[0005] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing modified calcium carbonate according to the first aspect of the present invention, which includes the following steps:

[0006] 1) Calcium carbonate is dispersed in a dispersant to obtain a dispersion;

[0007] 2) Heat the dispersion, then add bispalmitoyl tartrate diester, and stir until the modification reaction is complete to obtain the modified material;

[0008] 3) The modified material is filtered, washed, dried and pulverized to obtain the modified calcium carbonate.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the dispersant is anhydrous ethanol.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, in step 2), the temperature is heated to 55°C to 65°C.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, in step 2), the modification reaction time is 45 min to 55 min.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, in step 3), the filter cake obtained after filtration of the modified material is washed with ethanol 3 to 5 times and then vacuum dried at 70°C to 85°C.

[0013] The third invention provides a sealing agent comprising modified calcium carbonate prepared by the method described in the first invention or any one of the second invention, natural asphalt, high filtration loss material, biodegradable fiber, and oil.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, the modified calcium carbonate content is 20% to 40% of the total mass of the sealing agent, the natural bitumen content is 15% to 20%, the high filtration loss material content is 10% to 15%, the biodegradable fiber content is 5% to 10%, and the balance is oil.

[0015] In one specific embodiment, the softening point temperature of the natural asphalt is ≤ the lost formation temperature +10℃ and ≥ the lost formation temperature -10℃.

[0016] In one specific embodiment, the particle size of the natural bitumen is 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.

[0017] In one specific embodiment, the high filtration loss material is a high filtration loss plugging agent.

[0018] In one specific embodiment, the biodegradable fiber is any one of cellulose fiber, chitin fiber, and polylactic acid fiber.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] The modified calcium carbonate of the present invention has a lower oil absorption value, a lower sedimentation volume, and a higher activation degree, and does not increase viscosity. This greatly reduces the agglomeration of modified calcium carbonate particles, thereby ensuring the dispersibility and dispersion stability of modified calcium carbonate.

[0024] The sealant prepared by combining the modified calcium carbonate of this invention with natural asphalt, high filtration loss sealing material and biodegradable fiber has a better sealing effect due to the synergistic effect of the components.

[0025] Furthermore, the plugging agent of this invention has good compatibility with oil-based drilling fluids, has little impact on the viscosity, shear stress, and demulsification voltage of the oil-based drilling fluid system, and has a certain effect on reducing filtration loss.

Using the plugging agent of this invention, the permeability of 100μm and 125μm ceramic sheet mud cake can be reduced from 10... -4 ×10 -3 μm 2 Reduced to 10 -7 ×10 -3 μm 2 Meanwhile, the mud cake formed by the plugging agent has an acid solubility rate of >70%, and has hydrophobic and oleophilic properties, multi-stage sealing effect, acid solubility and backflow, and does not damage the formation. It meets the requirements of wellbore stability, safe and environmentally friendly production during oil-based drilling fluid construction. Detailed Implementation

[0098] After aging the oil-based drilling fluid at 150℃ for 16 hours, the effect of the plugging agent on the performance of the oil-based drilling fluid was determined according to Part 1 of GB / T 16783.1-2014 Field Testing of Drilling Fluids for Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry, Water-based Drilling Fluids. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0100]

The temperature resistance can reach 150℃. In contrast, the plugging agents of the comparative examples have little effect on the performance of the oil-based drilling fluid.

[0102] 2.2 Evaluation of Blocking Effectiveness

[0103] Ceramic plate modules with different pore sizes from 10μm to 125μm, as shown in Tables 3 and 4, were used to simulate formation cores, and the sealing effect was evaluated using a Type 71 high-temperature and high-pressure water loss meter.

[0104] (1) The oil-based drilling fluid was aged by rolling at 150℃ for 16 hours. After aging, the oil-based drilling fluid was subjected to filtration loss measurement for 30 minutes under different pore size ceramic plate modules at 150℃ and 3.5MPa experimental conditions using a Type 71 high-temperature and high-pressure fluid loss meter. The upper oil-based drilling fluid was poured out, leaving the bottom ceramic plate module and mud cake. 700mL of No. 5 white oil was added again, and the filtration loss was measured for 30 minutes under the experimental conditions of 150℃ and 3.5MPa. The permeability of the mud cake formed under the oil-based drilling fluid conditions was calculated according to Darcy's law. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0105] (2) The oil-based drilling fluid was aged by rolling at 150℃ for 16 hours; after aging, the oil-based drilling fluid was subjected to filtration loss measurement for 30 minutes under different pore size ceramic disc modules at 150℃ and 3.5MPa experimental conditions using a Type 71 high-temperature and high-pressure fluid loss meter; the upper oil-based drilling fluid was poured out, leaving the bottom ceramic discs and mud cake, and 700mL of No. 5 white oil was added again, and the filtration loss was measured for 30 minutes under 150℃ and 3.5MPa experimental conditions; according to Darcy's law, the permeability of the mud cake formed under the oil-based drilling fluid conditions was calculated (filtration loss area 22.9cm). 2 The results are shown in Table 4.

[0107]

[0108] Table 4. Determination of the plugging effect of oil-based drilling fluids

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] Tables 3 and 4 show the plugging evaluation results, indicating that the permeability of the mud cake formed by the oil-based drilling fluid is (10). -5 ~10 -4 )×10 -3 μm 2 The oil-based drilling fluids with added plugging agents from Examples 3 to 8 showed a significant reduction in the permeability of ceramic disc mud cakes of different sizes. Specifically, the permeability of 100μm and 125μm ceramic disc mud cakes decreased from 10... -4 ×10 -3 μm 2 Reduced to 10 -7 ×10 -3 μm 2 The sealing effect is good; when the oil-based drilling fluid containing the plugging agents of Examples 10 and 11 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 is added, the mud cake permeability does not change much before and after, and the sealing effect is not ideal, which fully demonstrates that the plugging agent of the present invention has significant plugging advantages.

[0112] 2.3 Unclogging and backflow characteristics of the sealing agent

[0113] To investigate the plugging and backflow characteristics of the plugging agent, the acid solubility rate of the mud cake formed after the plugging agents of Examples 4 to 11 and Comparative Examples 3 to 4 were added to the oil-based drilling fluid base fluid was measured.

[0114] According to SY / T 5358-2002 "Evaluation Method of Reservoir Sensitivity Flow Test":

[0115] 1) Use a medium-pressure filter remover to process oil-based drilling fluid and oil-based drilling fluid for 30 minutes to obtain their respective mud cakes. Dry the mud cakes at 105℃ for 4 hours and place them in a desiccator for later use.

[0116] 2) Weigh 10g of the dried mud cake from step 1), record it as the initial mud cake mass, place it in an Erlenmeyer flask, then add 150mL of 15wt% HCl, react and dissolve in a constant temperature water bath at 90℃ for 2h to obtain a dissolved mixture;

[0117] 3) Filter the dissolved mixture to obtain filter residue, dry the filter residue, weigh it, and record the weight as the mass of the remaining undissolved mud cake;

[0118] 4) Calculate the acid solubility rate of the mud cake based on the formula. Acid solubility rate of mud cake = (initial mud cake mass - remaining undissolved mud cake mass) / initial mud cake mass * 100.

[0119] The results are shown in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, the acid solubility rate of the plugging agent used in Examples 4 to 9 of this invention is all >70%, indicating a good acid dissolution and plugging effect.

[0122]

[0123] In summary, the plugging agent of this invention has good compatibility with oil-based drilling fluids, has little impact on the viscosity, shear stress, and demulsification voltage of the oil-based drilling fluid system, and also has a certain effect on reducing filtration loss. It can withstand temperatures up to 150℃. Using the plugging agent of this invention, the permeability of 100μm and 125μm ceramic sheet mud cake is reduced from 10... -4 ×10 -3 μm 2 Reduced to 10 -7 ×10 -3 μm 2 Meanwhile, the mud cake formed by the plugging agent has an acid solubility rate of >70%, and has the characteristics of multi-stage sealing effect, hydrophobic and oleophilic properties, acid solubility and backflow, and no damage to the formation.
