Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geothermal resource development, and in particular relates to a thermal insulation cement slurry system suitable for geothermal wells and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the extensive development and utilization of fossil energy has led to increasingly severe resource and environmental problems, prompting a shift toward renewable and pollution-free energy sources. Geothermal resources, like other clean and renewable energy sources, are a purely green energy source. Their full development and utilization can effectively reduce environmental pollution and address climate change. The cement stone formed after the cement slurry solidifies has a relatively high thermal conductivity (approximately 1.0 W / (m·K)), lacking insulation properties and exhibiting poor thermal insulation performance. This results in significant heat loss during hot water extraction and reinjection, significantly wasting resources.

[0003] To address this issue, thermally insulating cement or low-thermal-conductivity materials can be added to the cement slurry to create an insulating cement. This material leverages its low thermal conductivity to address heat loss from geothermal resources. Therefore, developing a geothermal well cementing slurry system with low thermal conductivity, high compressive strength, and excellent toughness is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a thermal insulation cement slurry system suitable for geothermal wells and a preparation method thereof, so as to at least solve some of the above technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A thermal insulation cement slurry system suitable for geothermal wells is composed of the following raw materials in percentage by weight:

[0007] G-grade oil well cement: 56.5-81.5wt.%;

[0008] Thermal insulation material: 10-30wt.%;

[0009] Lead-zinc tailings: 5-10wt.%

[0010] Silica fume: 2wt.%;

[0011] Dispersant: 0.5-1.5wt.%;

[0012] And admixtures as percentage by weight of Grade G oil well cement:

[0013] High temperature fluid loss additive: 1-3wt.%;

[0014] High temperature retarder: 0.5~2wt.%;

[0015] Defoaming agent: 0.25wt.%;

[0016] The thermal insulation material is obtained by mixing hollow ceramic microspheres, waste rock wool board powder, opal powder and modified polycarbonate in a weight ratio of (11-15):(1-3):(3-5):1;

[0017] The hollow ceramic microspheres are prepared from lithium slag, zirconium silicide, molybdenum tailings, rare earth tailings and sawdust by flame spraying. Preferably, the hollow ceramic microspheres have a particle size of 5 to 40 μm and a thermal conductivity of 0.09 to 0.11 W / (m·K).

[0018] The lithium slag is mainly composed of quartz phase, andalusite, corundum, and a small amount of glass phase, kaolinite and lithium carbonate; the SiO2 content is greater than 60wt.%, the Al2O3 content is greater than 20wt.%, the Na2O content is 0.2-0.8wt.%, and the K2O content is 0.1-4wt.%.

[0019] Wherein, the effective substance content of the zirconium silicide is greater than 99.9 wt.%.

[0020] The molybdenum tailings are mainly composed of diopside, albite and dolomite; wherein the SiO2 content is greater than 52wt.%, and the Al2O3 content is greater than 14wt.%.

[0021] Among them, the main chemical components (SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3 and CaO, etc.) in the rare earth tailings account for more than 82wt.%, of which SiO2 content is more than 55wt.%, Al2O3 content is more than 14wt.%, and CaF2 content is 0.25~0.30wt.%.

[0022] The sawdust is formed by crushing dry sawdust, and its average particle size is less than 20 meshes.

[0023] The present invention is based on the principle of synergistic effect. The thermal insulation material is formed by mixing hollow ceramic microbeads, waste rock wool board powder, protein shale powder and modified polycarbonate in a certain proportion. The thermal insulation material has the characteristics of being green and environmentally friendly, having low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation effect, high mechanical strength, high activity performance, good flexibility and low cost. The hollow ceramic microbeads are light in weight, high in strength, have high volcanic ash activity, good thermal insulation effect, and have good bonding properties with other inorganic cementitious materials. They can promote the early hydration and strength development of geothermal cement. The waste rock wool board powder has good thermal insulation properties due to its own low thermal conductivity. It can not only form a good three-dimensional network structure with the cement hydration product, but also provide support for the hollow ceramic microbeads, protein shale powder and modified polycarbonate. The protein shale is mainly composed of SiO2, which has volcanic ash activity and a large number of microporous structures. After being ground into powder, its volcanic ash activity can be further enhanced. The volcanic ash activity and microporous structure can be used not only as a filling material to fill the gaps between hollow ceramic microspheres, waste rock wool boards and cementing cement particles and hydration products, but also as a thermal insulation material and active material to enhance the performance of the thermal insulation material. The modified polycarbonate has good hydrophilicity and temperature resistance, can form good bonding with other matrix materials, and work together with the network structure formed by the waste rock wool board powder to achieve the effect of toughening and reducing brittleness. In addition, it makes full use of solid wastes such as lithium slag, molybdenum tailings, rare earth tailings and waste rock wool boards, which can greatly reduce the environmental pressure brought by solid waste, is green and environmentally friendly, and has low cost.

[0024] The hollow ceramic microspheres are prepared by using lithium slag, zirconium silicide, molybdenum tailings, rare earth tailings and sawdust. A large amount of air is contained in the hollow ceramic microspheres, which can reduce the thermal conductivity of the thermal insulation material and improve the thermal insulation performance. At the same time, the hollow ceramic microspheres provide SiO2 and Al2O3 components necessary for ceramics. In addition, the lithium slag, molybdenum tailings and rare earth tailings are the main sources of alkali metal oxides (K2O and Na2O). The rare earth oxides in the rare earth tailings can serve as stabilizers and sintering aids, greatly improving the strength and toughness of the ceramic microspheres. As the firing temperature increases, the dolomite in the molybdenum tailings forms a diopside interlaced network structure, thereby improving the strength of the ceramic microspheres. The zirconium silicide further improves the density and strength of the ceramic microspheres. The sawdust generates a large amount of gas at high temperature, providing basic conditions for forming a hollow structure.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present invention, a thermal insulation cement slurry system suitable for geothermal wells is composed of the following raw materials in weight percentage:

[0026] G-grade oil well cement: 60-75wt.%;

[0123] Test example

[0124] The slurry engineering properties of the comparative example cement slurry system and the thermal insulation cement slurry systems #1 to #5 prepared in Examples 1 to 5 were tested at 120°C with reference to the GB / T19139 oil well cement test method. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0125] Table 6

[0126]

[0127] According to the experimental data in Table 6, the thermal insulation cement slurry systems #1 to #5 configured in Examples 1 to 5 have a water loss of less than 30 ml, good slurry stability, and adjustable thickening time, which meet the construction requirements.

[0128] The thermal insulation cement slurry systems #1-#5 prepared in Examples 1-5 and the comparative cementing cement slurry system of Comparative Example 1 were cured at 150°C and then subjected to performance testing. Compressive strength was tested using a NYSQ-2017 pressure testing machine; the elastic modulus of the cement paste was measured using a triaxial stress testing machine; and the thermal conductivity of the cement paste was tested using a DRE-2C thermal conductivity tester using the transient plane heat source method. The test results are shown in Table 7 below.
