Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of drilling fluids, and in particular relates to a high-temperature and high-density water-based drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As my country's oil and gas resource exploration advances into deep formations, high-temperature and high-pressure formations are often encountered. More and more oil and gas wells are constructed using high-temperature and high-density drilling fluids. The research and development of high-temperature and high-density drilling fluid systems with excellent performance and outstanding high-temperature sedimentation stability is of great significance for safe drilling, speed improvement and efficiency improvement in deep, high-temperature and high-pressure formations.

[0003] However, a large number of drilling practices have shown that high-density drilling fluids weighted with barite generally have problems such as difficulty in regulating rheological properties, large filtration loss at high temperature and high pressure, and sedimentation of solid-phase weighted materials under high-temperature environments. At the drilling site, high-temperature and high-density drilling fluids are prone to a vicious cycle of "weighting and thickening - treatment to reduce viscosity - sedimentation of weighted materials (causing downhole complexity and reducing the density of the drilling fluid - weighting again). Therefore, there is a contradiction between the rheology and sedimentation stability of high-temperature and high-density drilling fluids that is difficult to balance. At the same time, high-temperature aging will cause reversible and irreversible changes in components such as clay and treatment agents in the drilling fluid, thereby affecting the rheological properties and other properties of the drilling fluid at high temperature and before and after aging. In addition, high-density drilling fluids (general density > 1.03g / cm 3 ) has a very high solid content, with a density of 2.3g / cm 3 As an example of drilling fluid, barite (density 4.3g / cm 3 ) are as high as 72.6% and 38.9% by weight, respectively, resulting in a low free water content in the system. When contaminated, it is very easy to cause a sudden change in the drilling fluid properties, making it difficult to control rheology, filtration loss and sedimentation stability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drilling fluid with excellent performance that can meet the requirements of high-temperature and high-pressure formation drilling under harsh conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes a high-temperature, high-density water-based drilling fluid. The drilling fluid system has good rheological properties, low viscosity and shear, strong suspension stability and salt and pollution resistance under high temperature and high density conditions.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present invention proposes a high-temperature, high-density water-based drilling fluid, whose components, in parts by weight, include: 100 parts of clean water, 1.5 to 3 parts of bentonite, 0.2 to 0.3 parts of soda ash, 0.5 to 0.8 parts of sodium hydroxide, 0.5 to 2 parts of nano-anti-high-temperature filtration reducer, 1.5 to 4 parts of anti-high-temperature emulsion viscosity enhancer, 2 to 3 parts of plugging agent, 1 to 2 parts of nano-plugging agent, 0.1 to 0.2 parts of deoxidizer, 1 to 2 parts of dispersant, 20 to 100 parts of water-soluble organic salt and 40-400 parts of barite.

[0007] The density of the high-temperature and high-density water-based drilling fluid is 1.6 to 2.6 g / cm 3 .

[0008] Generally, the density of water-based drilling fluid is greater than 1.0 g / cm 3 ;High-density drilling fluid density greater than 1.6g / cm 3 .

[0009] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the nano-anti-high-temperature fluid loss agent comprises a hyperbranched polymer generated by the polycondensation reaction of polyethylene polyamine and methyl acrylate, and a polytannic acid grafted hyperbranched polymer formed by the reaction of tannic acid in the presence of an oxidant; the particle size of the nano-anti-high-temperature fluid loss agent is 50-100 nm;

[0010] Preferably, the molar ratio of polyethylene polyamine to methyl acrylate is 1:(2-5);

[0011] The mass ratio of the tannic acid to the hyperbranched polymer is 1:(5-8);

[0012] More preferably, the polyethylene polyamine is diethylene triamine or triethylene tetramine.

[0013] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the high temperature resistant emulsion viscosity enhancer is a copolymer formed by inverse emulsion polymerization of methyl acrylate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, vinyl pyrrolidone, and trifluoroethyl acrylate;

[0014] Preferably, the weight ratio of methyl acrylate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, vinyl pyrrolidone and trifluoroethyl acrylate is (20-30):(10-20):(5-10):(1-5).

[0015] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the water-soluble organic salt weighting agent is at least one of sodium formate, potassium formate, Weigh2 and Weigh3 produced by Beijing Peikang.

[0016] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the plugging agent is sulfonated asphalt and / or natural asphalt.

[0017] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the nano plugging agent is at least one of nano silicon dioxide, nano titanium dioxide, and nano silicon dioxide emulsion; and the particle size of the nano plugging agent is 10 to 100 nm.

[0018] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the deoxidizer is sodium sulfite or sodium citrate.

[0019] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the dispersant is a mixture of sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate. Preferably, the mass ratio of sodium hexametaphosphate to sodium tripolyphosphate is (0.5-2):1. The present invention uses sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate as dispersants. Sodium hexametaphosphate has good suspending and dispersing effects, but the pH value of a 1% sodium hexametaphosphate solution is 6.4-6.6; while sodium tripolyphosphate has a large alkaline buffering effect, with a pH value of 9.5-9.8 for a 1% sodium tripolyphosphate solution. The two act synergistically, acting as a buffer, which can maintain the pH value of the drilling fluid system within an appropriate range at high temperatures. When the drilling fluid encounters carbonate contamination, calcium intrusion, or salt water intrusion, it maintains good drilling fluid rheology. At the same time, sodium tripolyphosphate has peptizing, emulsifying, and dispersing effects, which can improve the dissolution of emulsion thickeners and promote their emulsification, and synergize with sodium hexametaphosphate to improve the dispersion and suspension of barite.

Using barite of different mesh sizes to increase weight improves the filter cake wall-forming properties and reduces fluid loss.

[0021] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, organic salts and barite are used in combination. First, a certain concentration of organic salts can improve the temperature resistance of the treatment agent. Second, the use of organic salts increases the density of the base slurry, reduces the use of barite, and reduces the solid content of the drilling fluid system, achieving the purpose of performance optimization. Third, the reduced solid content improves the fluidity of the drilling fluid, alleviating the contradiction between the rheological properties and water loss wall-forming properties of high-density drilling fluids. Fourth, organic salts can improve the inhibitory properties of the drilling fluid.

[0030] The mass ratio of the oxidant to tannic acid is (0.05-0.1):1. Preferably, the oxidant is dissolved in a fourth solvent; the fourth solvent is a Tris-HCl buffer; the solubility of the oxidant in the buffer is 0.002-0.01 g / mL, and the pH value of the buffer is 7-9, preferably 8.

[0031] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the nano-temperature-resistant fluid loss additive of the present invention contains a hyperbranched cross-linked polymer, which has stronger temperature resistance and higher stability than conventional polymers.

Furthermore, the introduction of fluorine-containing groups, due to the high electronegativity of fluorine, stabilizes the C-F bond, and the fluorine-containing side chains are oriented outward, effectively enhancing the polymer's temperature and salt resistance.

[0042] The inverse emulsion polymerization method is adopted, with mild synthesis conditions, simple synthesis process and fast reaction speed. The synthesized emulsion thickener has good water solubility and fast dissolution speed, which can effectively overcome the waste and performance degradation caused by the formation of "fish eyes" due to incomplete dissolution of powdered polymer particles.

The resulting particles have low toxicity, are environmentally friendly, and are biodegradable. The resulting particles are rich in catechol hydroxyl groups from tannic acid and amino groups from branched polyamines, and can form multi-site, strong adhesion effects with clay molecules, providing strong connection forces to the end faces of micro-fractures in the formation, thereby sealing the pore throats of shale. The stacked structure of polytannic acid benzene rings is hydrophobic, which can prevent water molecules from entering the clay layer and reduce fluid loss. The nanoparticle structure can play a physical sealing role.

The HTHP fluid loss is low, and after 7 days of aging and standing, the sedimentation coefficient is less than 0.53. The aged slurry quickly recovers its performance after low-speed stirring.

[0056] 3. The high temperature and high density drilling fluid of the present invention has a relatively low solid content, at 2.3 g / cm 3 As an example of drilling fluid, barite (density 4.3g / cm 3 ) is adjustable within a weight percentage range of 69.5% to 55.3%, and the corresponding volume percentage is 37.2% to 29.6%.

[0114] (1) Nano high temperature resistant fluid loss reducer

[0115] A: Place a mixed solution of 7.30 g of triethylenetetramine and 100 mL of tetrahydrofuran in a reaction vessel. Dissolve 12.91 g of methyl acrylate in 100 mL of tetrahydrofuran and place in a constant pressure dropping funnel. Cool the reaction vessel to 5°C in an ice-water bath. Purge nitrogen and add the methyl acrylate-containing tetrahydrofuran solution dropwise over a 0.8 hour period. After the addition is complete, continue the reaction at 30°C for 5 hours to produce an intermediate. Place the intermediate on a rotary evaporator at a reduced vacuum of 500 Pa and dry at 40°C for 5 hours to remove unreacted monomer and other solvents.

[0116] B: 5.0 g of the intermediate obtained in step A was dissolved in 50 mL of methanol in a reactor. The reduced vacuum was set to 500 Pa. The polymerization reaction was carried out under a rotary motion at 110° C. for 9 h. The reaction was then cooled to 30° C. to obtain a hyperbranched polymer.

[0117] C: 0.5 g of tannic acid and 3.0 g of the hyperbranched polymer obtained in step B were separately dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol; 0.03 g of an oxidant was prepared by mixing copper sulfate hydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at a molar ratio of 1.1:1 and dissolved in 10 mL of Tris-HCl buffer, the pH of the buffer being 8; the prepared tannic acid solution and hyperbranched polymer solution were mixed, the oxidant solution was added, stirred, and reacted at 30°C for 3 h. The mixture was allowed to settle overnight, centrifuged, and dried to obtain a nano-high-temperature resistant fluid loss reducer.

[0118] (2) High temperature resistant emulsion viscosity increaser

[0119] I: Dissolve 0.48 g of CATB and 4.8 g of AOT in a mixture of 40 g of white oil and 30 g of liquid paraffin, and stir the mixture by ultrasonication to obtain an oil phase mixture.

[0120] II: 15 g of methyl acrylate, 5 g of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 2.5 g of vinyl pyrrolidone, and 2.5 g of trifluoroethyl acrylate were dissolved in 100 g of distilled water.

[0121] III: Add the aqueous phase mixture dropwise to the oil phase mixture at a volume ratio of 3:2, stirring while adding dropwise, and pass nitrogen to deoxygenate, and emulsify for 30 minutes;

[0122] IV: After emulsification is completed, 0.25 mmol KPS is added to initiate polymerization reaction at a reaction temperature of 70°C for 3 h to obtain a high temperature resistant emulsion viscosity enhancer.

[0124] S1: adding 3 parts by weight of bentonite, 0.3 parts by weight of soda ash, and 0.8 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide to 100 parts by weight of clean water at a rotation speed of 11,000 r / min while stirring, stirring for 30 minutes, and then curing at 25° C. for 24 hours to obtain a first mixture;

[0125] S2: adding 2 parts by weight of the nanometer high temperature resistant fluid loss additive obtained in step (1) to the first mixture, and stirring at a speed of 11000 r / min for 30 minutes to obtain a second mixture;

[0126] S3: adding 1.5 parts by weight of the high-temperature resistant emulsion viscosity enhancer obtained in step (2) to the second mixture, and stirring at a speed of 11,000 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a third mixture;

[0127] S4: adding 2 parts by weight of sulfonated asphalt, 2 parts by weight of nano-silica, 0.2 parts by weight of sodium sulfite, 2 parts by weight of a dispersant (wherein the mass ratio of sodium hexametaphosphate to sodium tripolyphosphate is 2:1), and 100 parts of weigh3 to the third mixture in sequence, and stirring at a speed of 11,000 rpm for 50 minutes to obtain a fourth mixture;

[0129] The weight percentage of barite in the high-temperature, high-density water-based drilling fluid of Example 3 is 55.3% and the volume percentage is 29.6%.

[0130] Comparative Example 1

[0131] The difference from Example 3 is that in the third part of the preparation step: step S4 in the process of preparing the high-temperature and high-density water-based drilling fluid, 20 parts of sodium formate and 30 parts of potassium formate are not added.

[0132] Comparative Example 2

[0133] The difference from Example 3 is that in the preparation step part (iii): in step S2 of the process of preparing high-temperature and high-density water-based drilling fluid, 2 parts by weight of nano-anti-high-temperature fluid loss reducer are replaced by 2 parts by weight of phenolic resin SMP-3, purchased from Shandong Deshunyuan Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd.

[0134] Comparative Example 3

[0135] The difference from Example 3 is that in the preparation step part (iii): in step S3 of the process of preparing high-temperature and high-density water-based drilling fluid, 1.5 parts by weight of the high-temperature resistant emulsion viscosity enhancer is replaced by 1.5 parts by weight of sulfonate copolymer DSP-1, which is purchased from Shandong Deshunyuan Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd.

[0136] Test Example 1

[0137] Referring to GB16783.1-2014 "Field Test of Drilling Fluids in the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Part 1: Water-Based Drilling Fluids", the high-temperature, high-density water-based drilling fluids prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were heated at 230°C for 16 hours and then cooled to 50°C for performance testing. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0138] Table 1 Performance of the embodiment before and after aging

[0139]

[0140] Note: FL HTHP Measured at 180°C and 3.5 MPa.

[0141] As can be seen from the test results of Table 1, the high-temperature resistant high-density water-based drilling fluids prepared in Examples 1 to 3 have good high-temperature stability and rheological stability. After aging at 230°C, the rheological properties change little, and the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid loss is also controlled to be below 15mL. Compared with Comparative Example 3, Example 3 shows a significant reduction in apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, and dynamic shear force, which provides room for improvement in the performance of the drilling fluid in the later stage. Compared with Comparative Examples 2-3, the nano-anti-high-temperature fluid loss agent of the present invention has a better viscosity-increasing and fluid loss-reducing effect than the phenolic resin SMP-3, and the high-temperature resistant emulsion viscosity-increasing agent of the present invention has a better viscosity-increasing and temperature resistance than the sulfonate copolymer DSP-1.

[0142] Test Example 2

[0143] Sedimentation stability test method: After the high-temperature, high-density water-based drilling fluids prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were heated at 230°C for a certain period of time, the density of the upper and lower layers of drilling fluid was measured. According to formula (1), the sedimentation stability coefficient SF value was calculated, as shown in Table 2.

[0144] Sedimentation stability coefficient SF = ρ 下 / (ρ 上 +ρ 下 ) Formula (1)

[0145] Table 2: Sedimentation stability coefficient SF under high temperature in the embodiment

[0146]

[0147] As shown in Table 2, the sedimentation stability of Examples 1-3 is relatively strong, and the sedimentation stability coefficient after 7 days is less than 0.53, which can meet the requirements of high temperature and high pressure formation drilling. In comparison, the sedimentation stability of Comparative Examples 1-3 is slightly poor.

[0148] In summary, the high-temperature, high-density drilling fluid of the present invention still has good rheological properties, sedimentation stability and fluid loss and wall-building properties after hot rolling aging at 230°C. The HTHP fluid loss is low. After 7 days of aging and standing, the sedimentation coefficient is less than 0.53. The aged slurry quickly recovers its performance after low-speed stirring.

[0149] Any numerical value mentioned in this invention includes all values ​​from the lowest value to the highest value in increments of one unit if there is only a two-unit interval between any minimum value and any maximum value. For example, if the amount of a component, or a process variable such as temperature, pressure, or time, is stated to be 50-90, it is intended in this specification that values ​​such as 51-89, 52-88, ..., 69-71, and 70-71 are specifically listed. For non-integer values, units of 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, or 0.0001 may be appropriately considered. These are just some examples of specific indications. In this application, in a similar manner, all possible combinations of numerical values ​​between the lowest and highest values ​​listed are considered to be disclosed.
