[0074] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, further detailed description will be given to the present application in combination with embodiments and drawings, and the schematic embodiments of the present application and the description thereof are only used for explaining the present application, and do not limit the present application.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] The present embodiment provides a method for analyzing the output of an oil and gas well, and the specific steps are shown as follows:

[0077] Step 1, select the plug sample, weigh it and place it in a container, and perform infrared drying to constant weight.

[0078] Step 2, take the first portion of the dried plug sample and perform 550°C and 950°C burning. The weight loss at 550°C mainly includes the total amount of organic matter, sulfur and other volatile substances in the plug. The weight loss at 950°C mainly includes the weight of carbonates in the plug being converted to oxides and losing carbon dioxide.

[0079] Step 3, take the second portion of the dried plug sample and perform extraction with different polar solvents:

[0080] 1) First extraction: soak the plug sample in petroleum ether organic solvent for 4 hours, stir at a speed of 1000 r / min, then perform centrifugal treatment, take the upper liquid, obtain the first extraction liquid, and further separate each organic component in the first extraction liquid into a single component using chromatography at a pressure of 2-3 MPa;

[0081] 2) Second extraction: increase the polarity of the solvent, soak the insoluble material of the first extraction in ethyl acetate organic solvent for 4 hours, stir at a speed of 1000 r / min, then perform centrifugal treatment, take the upper liquid, obtain the second extraction liquid, and further separate each organic component in the second extraction liquid into a single component using chromatography at a pressure of 2-3 MPa;

[0082] 3) Third extraction: further increase the polarity of the solvent, soak the insoluble material of the second extraction in a binary mixed organic solvent of methanol and acetone (mass ratio of methanol: acetone = 5:1) for 4 hours, stir at a speed of 1000 r / min, then perform centrifugal treatment, take the upper liquid, obtain the third extraction liquid, and further separate each organic component in the third extraction liquid into a single component using chromatography at a pressure of 2-3 MPa; the mass ratio of methanol and acetone is 5:1.

[0083] Dry and weigh the third extraction liquid and the remaining precipitate, which not only separates the organic matter and inorganic matter, but also obtains the content of the organic matter in the extraction liquid and the remaining inorganic matter. After extraction with different organic solvents, the organic mixture is separated using gel filtration, ion exchange, and chromatography at a separation pressure of <5 MPa to obtain each single-component organic matter. The analysis results are entered into a database, numerically processed, and the results are shown in Table 4,

[0084] Based on the above processing steps, the characterization analysis is as follows:

[0085] (1) Construct a plug fingerprint and compare it with fingerprint library I and fingerprint library II

[0086] The clogging material fingerprint spectrum and the fingerprint spectrum library I and the fingerprint spectrum library II in this embodiment are all infrared characterization spectra.

[0087] In the fingerprint spectrum library II, based on intuitive observation, the clogging material 1 fingerprint spectrum library II and the clogging material 2 fingerprint spectrum library II are preliminarily selected for comparison with the clogging material fingerprint spectrum.

[0088] In the fingerprint spectrum library II, based on intuitive observation, the clogging material 1 fingerprint spectrum library II and the clogging material 2 fingerprint spectrum library II are preliminarily selected for comparison with the clogging material fingerprint spectrum. Figures 3-11 As shown in the figure.

[0089] The comparison analysis results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0090] Table 1 Comparison table of clogging material composition characteristic spectrum

[0091]

[0092] Table 2 Comparison table of additive fingerprint spectrum

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] (2) Preliminary analysis of clogging material content

[0096] The clogging material sample is dried by infrared rays at 60°C for 48h, the weight change of a certain amount of sample before and after drying is determined, and the weight of the clogging material sample before drying is divided by the weight of the clogging material sample before drying, that is, the moisture content in the clogging material sample, the moisture content in this embodiment is 25.2%.

[0097] The dried clogging material is analyzed by energy spectrum electron microscopy, mainly containing metal elements such as iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, and non-metal elements such as carbon, oxygen, sulfur, chlorine and silicon, and the results are shown in Table 3. Figure 12 and Table 3.

[0098] Table 3 Energy spectrum electron microscopy element analysis results

[0099] Element wt. % C 63.17 O 25.07 Na 0.11 Mg 0.23 Al 1.29 Si 3.57 S 3.25 Cl 0.12 K 0.07 Ca 0.35 Cr 0.17 Fe 1.83 Mo 0.77 Total 100.00

[0100] The dried clogging material is subjected to the above step 2 burning treatment to obtain the total weight of organic matter, sulfur and other volatile substances and carbonates in the clogging material.

[0101] The clogging material after drying was subjected to the extraction treatment of step 3 above to obtain the total amount of organic matter and the total amount of inorganic matter. The analysis results are shown in Table 4.

[0102] Table 4 Component content after preliminary separation of clogging material

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] The clogging material was subjected to extraction in different proportions of methanol:acetone = 3:1 to 10:1, a binary mixture of methanol and ethyl acetate with a mass ratio of ethyl acetate:methanol = 3:1 to 10:1, and a binary mixture of ethyl acetate and diethyl ether with a mass ratio of ethyl acetate:diethyl ether = 3:1 to 10:1. The extraction results are as follows:

[0106] Table 5 Extraction solvent ratio and extraction effect

[0107] Ratio Ethyl acetate: methanol Methanol: acetone Ethyl acetate: diethyl ether 3:1 30.9 33.1 26.4 5:1 26.2 34.2 22.5 7:1 21.4 35.7 17.8 10:1 18.5 36.2 15.2

[0108] Note: The above proportions are mass ratios, and the effect data are extraction weight percentages.

[0109] From the results, it can be seen that the preferred ethyl acetate:methanol ratio of 3:1 can achieve good extraction effect; the extraction amount only increases by 3.1% when the methanol:acetone ratio is from 3:1 to 10:1, and considering factors such as effect, economy, and safety, a ratio of 3:1 is more appropriate; when the ethyl acetate:diethyl ether ratio is from 3:1 to 10:1, the extraction amount decreases significantly, and the extraction capacity under the condition of 3:1 is lower than that of ethyl acetate:methanol under the same condition.

[0110] (3) Accurate analysis of component content of clogging material

[0111] After the clogging material after drying was subjected to the extraction treatment of step 3 above, the first extraction liquid, the second extraction liquid, and the third extraction liquid were subjected to gel filtration, ion exchange, and chromatographic separation under a separation pressure of less than 5 MPa to obtain each single-component organic matter, which was subjected to infrared characterization analysis.

[0112] 1) Organic matter characterization analysis

[0113] Petroleum ether extract: The clogging material after drying was a brown oily substance with a mass percentage of 16.4%, and infrared analysis showed that it was mineral oil, as shown in Figure 14 and 15 .

[0114] Ethyl acetate (containing methanol) extract: After the clogging material was extracted with petroleum ether, the insoluble matter was extracted with ethyl acetate (containing methanol), and after drying, it was a brownish yellow paste with a mass percentage of 30.9%. Spectral analysis showed that it was mainly adipic acid polyester substances, as shown inFigure 16 and 17 as shown.

[0115] The extract:plug mixture (methanol:acetone) was 5:1. The insoluble residue after extraction with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate was extracted with a mixture of methanol:acetone, and after drying, a yellow paste was obtained with a mass percentage of 2.2%. Spectral analysis showed that the main substance was a polyester, such as Figure 18 and 19 as shown.

[0116] 2) Inorganic matter characterization analysis

[0117] Acid-insoluble matter: the inorganic matter after separation by extraction with an organic solvent, dried and weighed, was the inorganic matter content, 25.3%. After dissolution with hydrochloric acid and filtration, the residue was the acid-insoluble matter, which was dried and analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, which showed that the main substance was a silicon compound, with a content of 11.4%, as shown in Figure 20 .

[0118] 3) Overall characterization analysis of the plug

[0119] The plug was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy as a test sample. The infrared spectrum showed that the organic matter of the sample was mainly mineral oil, polyacrylate, and ester crosslinking material, and the inorganic matter was iron compound, silicon compound, and a small amount of carbonate and chloride, as shown in Figure 13 .

[0120] Based on the above and the analysis results, the composition of the plug was analyzed, and the composition of the inorganic matter was inferred, as shown in Table 6.

[0121] Table 6: Content of each component of the plug

[0122]

[0123] (4) Source inference

[0124] Based on the fingerprint spectrum analysis results and the production situation of the well, the organic matter in the plug was mainly derived from the injected mineral oil and sealing grease, and the inorganic matter was mainly derived from the mud and formation particles. The main reason for the formation was that the organic additive residues wrapped the formation particles and mud solid phase to form adhesive materials. For the plugging situation of the well, a targeted plug-breaking agent was recommended, with a dissolution rate of 87%. The appearance of the original sample and the dissolved sample is shown in Figure 21 and 22 .

[0125] (5) Plugging construction

[0126] By the 25 inorganic + organic cleaning fluid unblocking, the downhole tubing and near wellbore plugging can be effectively removed, the oil pressure is restored from 13.9 MPa to 36.8 MPa, the daily production is restored from 570,000 cubic meters to 820,000 cubic meters, which shows that the analysis technology is accurate, the analysis time is controlled within 7 working days; the targeted unblocking fluid system is further optimized, and the obvious unblocking effect is obtained. The field construction parameters are shown in Table 7, and the acidizing and fracturing construction is shown in Figure 23 .
