Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling fluid, and specifically relates to a novel plugging and anti-collapse agent and a plugging and anti-collapse type water-based drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof, which are mainly used in the preparation and preparation of drilling fluid in oil drilling. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of shale oil and gas exploration and development, and the expansion of oil exploration and development into deeper formations and offshore, the number of complex, deep, ultra-deep, and specialized wells has increased. Drilling in complex formations is prone to wellbore instability issues such as lost circulation, collapse, borehole shrinkage, and severe slurrying. These issues, including borehole shrinkage and collapse in shale, fractured coal seams, and high-salt formations, can cause these issues, impacting drilling efficiency and cementing quality, and even causing pipe sticking, seriously impacting the exploration and development process.

[0003] Plugging utilizes solid particles to bridge and plug pores and microcracks to reduce or even isolate the filtration loss pathways of the drilling fluid, preventing the wellbore drilling fluid pressure from invading and transmitting through the filtrate into the near-wellbore formation. According to the bridge plugging theory, plugging particles (materials) can directly block filtration loss pathways in solid-free drilling fluids through bridging and filling. However, in more cases, in solid-phase drilling fluids, plugging particles primarily achieve a tight seal of filtration loss pathways through a filling effect. Therefore, drilling fluid plugging and anti-collapse agents are key to improving anti-collapse performance and wellbore stability.

[0004] Existing plugging and anti-collapse agents primarily consist of modified asphalt, emulsified paraffin, polymer alcohols, organoaluminum compounds, and silicates. However, the anti-collapse effectiveness of asphalt treatment agents is significantly affected by the softening point of their raw material asphalt. Their effective operating temperature is near this softening point, making it difficult to effectively plug microcracks in formations across a wide temperature range. Asphalt treatment agents are made from petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt. The softening point of petroleum asphalt generally ranges from 40-100°C, and the softening point of natural asphalt in Xinjiang, my country, is only 90-140°C. This makes it difficult to effectively plug microcracks in deep, high-temperature formations, especially those with temperatures above 160°C and complex formations. Furthermore, asphaltene, the primary component of asphalt treatment agents, fluoresces, which can affect fluorescence logging and gas logging to a certain extent.

[0005] Silicate treatment agents, such as sodium silicate, potassium silicate, and methyl silicate, can form nanoparticles of varying sizes—ions, colloids, and macromolecules—in water. Through adsorption, diffusion, and chemical precipitation, they form a protective film on the rock surface, sealing microfractures. Once in the formation, silicate ions further react with calcium and magnesium ions to form calcium-magnesium silicate precipitates. Simultaneously, silanol groups condense with aluminum alcohol groups in formation minerals, bonding them together and improving the overall cementing capacity of the formation, ultimately sealing the wellbore. However, silicate treatment agents have high pH requirements for drilling fluids, often above 11. Due to the limited availability of compatible treatment agents, the rheological properties of drilling fluids are difficult to control, limiting their application.

[0006] Polyols, also known as polyether polyols, are nonionic, low-molecular-weight polymers. These include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyglycerol, polyethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol / propylene glycol copolymers. They are readily soluble in water below their cloud point. However, above this temperature, the polyols precipitate from the water and undergo phase separation, forming a turbid, emulsified liquid. Under the influence of hydroxyl adsorption and differential pressure, these droplets adhere to the wellbore wall or squeeze into microcracks and pore throats in the shale, sealing these microcracks and pore throats and forming a hydrophobic film on the wellbore surface, preventing free water in the drilling fluid from entering the shale. Polyols also exhibit good compatibility with conventional drilling fluid treatment agents. They are biodegradable, have low or no toxicity, and are environmentally friendly. Their low fluorescence facilitates the identification and discovery of oil and gas reservoirs. However, due to their cloud point, the effective temperature range of polyol treatment agents is limited. Effectively improving the anti-collapse properties of drilling fluids requires a cloud point temperature comparable to the bottomhole circulation temperature. Moreover, the polyol treating agent is a non-ionic surfactant, which often causes the drilling fluid to foam.

[0007] In recent years, shale gas exploration and development has accelerated. However, shale gas development is hampered by its small pore throats, low permeability, and the fact that most pores consist of microscopic capillary pores, which are prone to hydration and cause wellbore collapse. Addressing shale gas sealing and permeability issues has become a key issue in current shale gas drilling fluid technology research. Conventional drilling fluid additives have a particle size range of 0.1-100 μm, far larger than the average pore throat size of shale, making it difficult to effectively seal pores and microfractures in shale. Nanomaterials exhibit unique volume effects, interfacial effects, and quantum tunneling, making them more compatible with shale formation pore throats than conventional drilling fluids. Nanosilica is the most widely researched and applied, but it suffers from poor dispersibility and severe agglomeration, making it difficult to form nanoscale plugs. Graphene oxide, rich in oxygen-containing functional groups, can form a film-like barrier during plugging, resulting in a more thorough and effective plugging effect. However, graphene-based materials are not resistant to high temperatures and have poor dispersibility in water-based systems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Based on the above background, the present invention provides a new plugging and anti-collapse agent. Using the plugging and anti-collapse agent as the core treatment agent, a high-temperature resistant and high-density plugging and anti-collapse water-based drilling fluid system is developed. The system can effectively solve complex situations encountered during the drilling process, such as lost circulation, blowout, and stuck pipe, and provide a research basis for on-site application in the field of oil drilling fluid technology.

[0055] Figure 2 Infrared spectrum of carbon nanodots. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Preparation of carbon nanodots

[0058] 3g of citric acid and 6g of urea were dissolved in 20mL of deionized water and stirred until the citric acid and urea were completely dissolved to form a colorless and transparent solution. The solution was then placed in a 650W microwave oven and deeply heated for 5 minutes. During the heating process, the solution gradually changed from a colorless and transparent state to brown, and finally a dark brown solid was obtained. Finally, the dark brown solid was redissolved in 20mL of deionized water and stirred to fully dissolve it. After centrifugal purification, an aqueous solution of carbon dots was obtained, which was freeze-dried to obtain nanocarbon dots. Figure 1 This is a TEM image of the nano-carbon dots prepared in the present invention. From the image, we can see that the particle size of the nano-carbon dots is in the range of 5-10 nm. Figure 2 This is an infrared spectrum of the nano-carbon dots prepared by the present invention.

[0059] Preparation of plugging and anti-collapse agent

[0060] Preparation Example 1

[0061] S1 Modification of Nanocarbon Dots: Place 2g of nanocarbon dots in a beaker, add 92-100mL of ethanol and 0-8mL of deionized water, and ultrasonically disperse the nanocarbon dots in an ultrasonic bath for 15 minutes. Add a certain amount of KH570 to a round-bottom flask, adjust the pH to a weakly acidic state by adding half a drop of acetic acid, and pour the nanocarbon dot dispersion into the round-bottom flask. Heat and reflux at 75°C with stirring for 4 hours. After the reaction, remove the solvent using a rotary evaporator, dissolve the nanocarbon dots in deionized water, and freeze-dry to obtain the modified nanocarbon dots.

[0062] Preparation of the S2 composite material: 33g of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) monomer was weighed and dissolved in deionized water, then stirred on a magnetic stirrer to dissolve. Sodium hydroxide solid was weighed using an analytical balance in a 1:1 molar ratio and added to the solution. After complete dissolution, the pH was adjusted with 20 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution. Then, 39.616g of acrylamide (AM), 1.770g of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 17.164g of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (DMDAAC), and 0.458g of modified nanocarbon dots were added. The mixture was stirred on a magnetic stirrer for 20 minutes. After complete dissolution, the reaction apparatus was connected and the solution was poured into a three-necked flask. Stirred under nitrogen for 20 minutes. After reaching the desired temperature, 0.31g of (NH4)2S2O8 and 0.143g of NaHSO3 as initiators were added, and the reaction continued under nitrogen. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, the colloid in the flask was taken out, and washed several times with anhydrous ethanol to remove unreacted monomers. Finally, the precipitate was vacuum dried at 65° C. and dried to granulate to obtain a composite material.

[0063] Preparation of S3 Oxidized Asphalt: Add asphalt powder (softening point 120°C) to a three-necked flask. Add potassium permanganate solution with magnetic stirring. Heat to boiling and reflux for 40 minutes until the potassium permanganate solution dissipates, stopping the reaction. At this point, a large amount of asphalt will float on the surface of the liquid, while manganese dioxide will sink to the bottom. Pour the mixture into a beaker, add water, and pour the upper solid layer into a Büchner funnel. Filter with suction (be careful not to pour in the lower layer of manganese dioxide), dry, and pulverize to obtain oxidized asphalt powder.

[0064] Preparation of S4 plugging and anti-collapse agent: Take oxidized asphalt in a beaker, heat and stir at a temperature of 100-120℃ until the asphalt begins to soften, slowly add the composite material at a mass ratio of 1:1, stir for 3-5 hours, mix thoroughly, cool to room temperature to solidify, and crush to obtain the plugging and anti-collapse agent.

[0065] Preparation Example 2

[0066] The raw materials and preparation method are the same as those in Preparation Example 1, except that modified carbon nanodots are not required, and the composite material prepared in step S2 does not contain modified carbon nanodots. The monomers for the composite material are acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-vinylpyrrolidone, and dimethyldiallylammonium chloride. The method for preparing the oxidized asphalt and the anti-collapse agent by compounding is the same as in Preparation Example 1.

[0067] Preparation Example 3

[0068] The raw materials and preparation method are the same as those in Preparation Example 1, except that the composite material prepared in step S2 does not contain N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and the polymerization monomers of the composite material are acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, dimethyldiallylammonium chloride, and nano-modified carbon dots. The oxidized asphalt and the method for obtaining the plugging anti-sloughing agent by compounding are the same as those in Preparation Example 1.

[0069] Preparation Example 4

[0070] The raw materials and preparation method are the same as those in Preparation Example 1, except that the composite material prepared in step S2 does not contain dimethyldiallylammonium chloride, and the polymerization monomers of the composite material are acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and nano-modified carbon dots. The oxidized asphalt and the method for obtaining the plugging anti-sloughing agent by compounding are the same as those in Preparation Example 1.

[0071] Performance test of plugging anti-sloughing agent

[0072] Test purpose: To detect the performance of the plugging anti-sloughing agents prepared in Preparation Examples 1-4 of the application and the commercially available sulfonated asphalt FT-1.

[0073] Test method: The plugging anti-sloughing agents 1-4 prepared in the application and the commercially available sulfonated asphalt FT-1 are respectively added to 4wt% base slurry (16g of bentonite is added to 400mL of distilled water, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 24h to prepare the base slurry), to prepare drilling fluids with sample concentrations of 0.5wt%, 1.0wt%, 1.5wt%, and 2wt%; using a sand bed plugging instrument, the invasion depth of the drilling fluids into 40-60 mesh and 60-80 mesh sand beds is respectively measured at room temperature and a pressure of 0.7MPa. The specific test results are shown in the following table.

[0074] Table 1: Invasion depth data of sand bed

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] As can be seen from the data in the table above, the plugging and anti-collapse agent prepared by the present invention has better plugging ability than the commercially available sulfonated asphalt FT-1. When the content of both is 2%, the penetration depth of the plugging and anti-collapse agent prepared by the present invention into a 40-60 mesh sand bed is 8.0 cm, while the penetration depth of FT-1 is 9.6 cm. Moreover, when the modified nano-carbon dots are not introduced in Preparation Example 2, its plugging performance is poor, and its plugging performance is worse than that of the commercially available sulfonated asphalt FT-1. The ternary plugging and anti-collapse agents prepared by Preparation Examples 3 and 4 also have good plugging and anti-collapse performance, which is better than sulfonated asphalt FT-1, but slightly worse than the plugging and anti-collapse agent obtained in Preparation Example 1. The plugging and anti-collapse agent prepared by the present invention has excellent plugging effect on both 40-60 mesh and 60-80 mesh sand beds, further demonstrating that the plugging and anti-collapse agent of the present invention has a significant plugging effect and can adapt to pores of different sizes. As the amount of plugging and anti-collapse agent added increases, the penetration depth of the sand bed is lower and the plugging effect is better.
