Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas field development technology, and more specifically, to a sandstone slow-relief acid and its application. Background Technology

[0002] For low-permeability sandstone oil and gas reservoirs or those with severe near-wellbore contamination, acidizing is necessary to unblock and enhance production. Conventional sandstone unblocking acid is terrine acid, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid in varying proportions. When used for acidizing operations, terrine acid systems react too quickly with the rock, leading to excessive consumption of the acid near the wellbore, resulting in a short effective range and limited unblocking distance. This often fails to meet the required stimulation targets. Furthermore, the hydrofluoric acid in terrine acid reacts with the anions and cations in the solution after the reaction, generating secondary precipitates such as calcium fluoride, potassium fluorosilicate, and silicic acid, severely restricting the effectiveness of acidizing stimulation.

[0003] The rate of acidizing in sandstone has a significant impact on the acidizing effect, making its research crucial. Current research utilizes principles such as multi-stage ionization of phosphoric acid and ester hydrolysis to study the rate of acidizing in sandstone. Existing literature (publication number CN101712864A) discloses a polyhydrogen acid injection enhancer for sandstone oilfields, whose main component is phosphoric acid. Utilizing multi-stage ionization of phosphoric acid, it exhibits a certain rate-retarding effect. Another existing literature (publication number CN1524922A) discloses a composite acidizing and unblocking agent for thin-layer sandstone reservoirs. This agent is composed of hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid, organic phosphoric acid, ammonium bifluoride, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, ethanol, and the organic quaternary ammonium salt CT-3, while specifying its dosage ratio. Existing literature (publication number CN105295886A) discloses a composite slow-reacting acid, the main component of which is methyl formate. Formic acid is obtained by hydrolysis, and the formic acid then reacts with ammonium fluoride to generate the required hydrofluoric acid, thereby slowing down the reaction rate between the acid and the rock.

[0004] Regarding the problem of secondary precipitation caused by sandstone acidification, many scholars have used chelating agents to chelate metal ions, thereby reducing the damage from secondary precipitation. Existing literature (publication number CN108373911A) discloses a chelating and unblocking fluid for medium-to-high permeability sandstone reservoirs, with DOTA derivatives as the main component. This fluid avoids the shortcomings of conventional acidification and solves the problem that ordinary chelating agents cannot dissolve clay. Existing literature (publication number CN103261364A) discloses a method and fluid for improving the permeability of sandstone formations using chelating agents. The method involves introducing a fluid containing N,N-diacetic glutamic acid or its salts with a pH of 1-14 into the formation. In the above methods, the use of GLDA chelating agents can effectively improve the permeability of sandstone formations.

[0005] Existing sandstone retarding acids mostly improve the retarding effect by increasing acid viscosity, utilizing multi-stage ionization of phosphoric acid, and ester hydrolysis. However, using thickeners to increase acid concentration can cause polymer damage and reservoir pollution. Phosphoric acid retarding acids pollute the environment and are difficult to degrade biologically, while ester retarding acids do not have the ability to inhibit secondary precipitation.

[0006] As can be seen from the above, there are many types of sandstone acidification solutions, but the following problems still exist: (1) the acid system cannot simultaneously achieve the effects of slowing down and chelating metal ions; (2) the acid additives have poor biological and environmental protection properties, such as phosphate chelating agents which can cause eutrophication of water bodies, and aminocarboxylic acid chelating agents which have poor biodegradability and environmental protection properties.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to research and develop an environmentally friendly sandstone slowing acid that can simultaneously satisfy the functions of slowing down precipitation and chelating metal ions, thereby inhibiting secondary precipitation. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The main objective of this invention is to provide a sandstone retarding acid and its application, in order to solve the problem that existing sandstone retarding acids cannot simultaneously satisfy the functions of retarding and chelating metal ions, thereby inhibiting secondary precipitation.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a sandstone retarded acid, which, by weight, comprises: 5-15 parts of an amino acid chelating agent, 1-10 parts of a hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent, 2-8 parts of an inorganic acid, and 65-90 parts of a solvent.

[0010] Furthermore, the amino acid chelating agent is selected from amino acids and / or amino acid polymers.

[0011] Further, the amino acid is selected from one or more of the group consisting of aspartic acid, lysine, and glutamic acid; the amino acid polymer is selected from one or more of the group consisting of polyaspartic acid, polylysine, and polyglutamic acid; preferably, the number average molecular weight of the amino acid polymer is 13,000 to 1,300,000, or the degree of polymerization of the amino acid polymer is 100 to 10,000; more preferably, the number average molecular weight of the amino acid polymer is 13,000 to 130,000, or the degree of polymerization of the amino acid polymer is more preferably 100 to 1,000.

[0012] Furthermore, the weight ratio of amino acid chelating agents to hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agents is (7-10):(5-8).

[0013] Further, the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent is selected from one or more of the group consisting of sodium gluconate, sodium citrate and sodium maleate; preferably, the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent is selected from sodium gluconate; more preferably, when the amino acid chelating agent is selected from polyaspartic acid and the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent is selected from sodium gluconate, the weight ratio of polyaspartic acid to sodium gluconate is (7-9):(7-8).

[0014] Further, the inorganic acid is selected from hydrofluoric acid, or a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid; preferably, the inorganic acid includes a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, and the weight ratio of hydrochloric acid to hydrofluoric acid is (1-5):(1-3).

[0015] Furthermore, by weight, the sandstone slow-retarding acid also includes: 0.5 to 1 part corrosion inhibitor; preferably, the corrosion inhibitor is selected from Mannich bases and / or quinoline quaternary ammonium salt compounds.

[0016] Furthermore, the solvent is selected from one or more of the group consisting of water and methanol with a weight concentration of 1% to 5%.

[0017] Further, by weight, the sandstone retarding acid comprises: 7-9 parts of amino acid chelating agent, 7-8 parts of hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent, 3-5 parts of hydrochloric acid, 2-3 parts of hydrofluoric acid, 0.5-1 parts of corrosion inhibitor, and 74-80.5 parts of solvent.

[0018] To achieve the above objectives, another aspect of the present invention provides an application of the sandstone slow-relief acid provided in this application in the field of oil and gas field development technology.

[0019] The technical solution of this invention utilizes amino acid chelating agents, which possess both amino and carboxyl groups. These chelating agents undergo multi-stage ionization, exhibiting slowing properties. Both amino and carboxyl groups can chelate with metal ions (such as calcium and iron ions) in the oil reservoir, forming chelates. Applying these chelating agents to oil and gas field development increases the acid-rock reaction distance and improves acidification efficiency. Simultaneously, it reduces the formation of secondary precipitation during sandstone acidification. Furthermore, amino acid chelating agents are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, posing no harm to the reservoir during oil and gas field development. Carboxylic acid chelating agents, possessing both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, also undergo multi-stage ionization and exhibit slowing properties. The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups can chelate metal ions (such as calcium and iron ions) in the oil reservoir to form chelates, thereby achieving a scale removal effect. The combined use of amino acid chelating agents and carboxylic acid chelating agents leverages their synergistic effect, better utilizing the slowing effect of sandstone acidification and the chelation of metal ions, thus inhibiting secondary precipitation.

[0020] Limiting the weight proportions of amino acid chelating agents, hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agents, inorganic acids, and solvents within the above-mentioned range is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the chelation reaction, increasing the formation rate of chelates, and also improving the permeability of the core after acidification, thereby helping to suppress the formation of secondary precipitation. Detailed Implementation

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0022] As described in the background section, existing sandstone retarding acids cannot simultaneously satisfy the requirements of retarding and chelating metal ions, thereby failing to inhibit secondary precipitation. To address the aforementioned technical problem, this application provides a sandstone retarding acid, which, by weight, comprises: 5-15 parts of an amino acid chelating agent, 1-10 parts of a hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent, 2-8 parts of an inorganic acid, and 65-90 parts of a solvent.

[0023] Amino acid chelating agents possess both amino and carboxyl groups, enabling multi-stage ionization and exhibiting slowing properties. Both amino and carboxyl groups can chelate with metal ions (such as calcium and iron ions) in the oil reservoir, forming chelates. Applying these chelating agents in oil and gas field development can increase the acid-rock reaction distance and improve acidizing efficiency. Simultaneously, it can reduce the formation of secondary precipitation during sandstone acidification. Furthermore, amino acid chelating agents are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, posing no harm to the reservoir during oil and gas field development. Carboxylic acid chelating agents possess both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, also enabling multi-stage ionization and slowing properties. The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups can chelate metal ions (such as calcium and iron ions) in the oil reservoir to form chelates, thereby removing scale. The combined use of amino acid chelating agents and carboxylic acid chelating agents can leverage their synergistic effects, better utilizing the slowing effect of sandstone acidification and the chelation of metal ions, thus inhibiting secondary precipitation.

[0024] Limiting the weight proportions of amino acid chelating agents, hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agents, inorganic acids, and solvents within the above-mentioned range is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the chelation reaction, increasing the formation rate of chelates, and also improving the permeability of the core after acidification, thereby helping to suppress the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0025] It should be noted that, in this application, the acid-rock reaction distance refers to the distance that sandstone slow-release acid travels from fresh acid to residual acid.

[0026] Amino acids are organic compounds containing basic amino and acidic carboxyl groups. In a preferred embodiment, amino acid chelating agents include, but are not limited to, amino acids and / or amino acid polymers.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the amino acids include, but are not limited to, one or more of the group consisting of aspartic acid, lysine, and glutamic acid; the amino acid polymers include, but are not limited to, one or more of the group consisting of polyaspartic acid, polylysine, and polyglutamic acid. Compared to other types, using the above-mentioned preferred types of amino acids and / or amino acid polymers is beneficial for further enhancing their chelating effect, improving chelation efficiency, and thus improving core permeability and inhibiting the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0028] To further enhance the chelating ability of the amino acid polymer, thereby improving the chelating efficiency of sandstone slow-release acid and core permeability, preferably, the number-average molecular weight of the amino acid polymer is 13,000 to 1,300,000, or the degree of polymerization of the amino acid polymer is 100 to 10,000. More preferably, the number-average molecular weight of the amino acid polymer is 13,000 to 130,000, and the degree of polymerization of the amino acid polymer is 100 to 1,000. For example, polyaspartic acid with a degree of polymerization of 200, 300, or 500 can be used.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the amino acid chelating agent to the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent is (7-10):(5-8). The weight ratio of the amino acid chelating agent to the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent includes, but is not limited to, the above range. Limiting it to this range is beneficial for better leveraging the synergistic effect of the two, further improving the chelation reaction efficiency and the chelate formation rate; simultaneously, it is beneficial for further improving the permeability of the core after acidification and for further suppressing the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the group consisting of sodium gluconate, sodium citrate, and sodium maleate. Compared to other types, using the above-mentioned hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agents is beneficial to improving the chelation effect of divalent and / or trivalent metal ions, further enhancing the descaling effect, and simultaneously helping to further reduce the formation of secondary precipitates. To further enhance the descaling effect and further reduce the formation of secondary precipitates, preferably, the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent includes, but is not limited to, sodium gluconate.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, when the amino acid chelating agent includes, but is not limited to, polyaspartic acid, and the hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent includes, but is not limited to, sodium gluconate, the weight ratio of polyaspartic acid to sodium gluconate is (7-9):(7-8). The weight ratio of polyaspartic acid to sodium gluconate is not limited to the above range; limiting it to this range is beneficial for further improving the chelation reaction efficiency and the formation rate of chelates; it is also beneficial for further improving the permeability of the core after acidification and for further suppressing the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0032] The inorganic acid can be a weak acid, or a combination of a weak acid and a strong acid, commonly used in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the inorganic acid includes, but is not limited to, hydrofluoric acid, or a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Compared to using a strong acid system, using an incompletely ionized inorganic acid is beneficial for further enhancing the retarding properties of sandstone retarding acids.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the inorganic acid includes, but is not limited to, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, wherein the weight ratio of hydrochloric acid to hydrofluoric acid is (1-5):(1-3). The weight ratio of hydrochloric acid to hydrofluoric acid includes, but is not limited to, the above range. Limiting it to this range is beneficial for further utilizing the retarding properties of the sandstone retarding acid, resulting in better retarding and chelation effects on metal ions.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the sandstone retarding acid further comprises, by weight, 0.5 to 1 part corrosion inhibitor. Preferably, the corrosion inhibitor includes, but is not limited to, Mannich bases and / or quinoline quaternary ammonium salt compounds. Using the above-mentioned amount of corrosion inhibitor by weight facilitates the formation of a more complete hydrophobic protective film on the surface of the wellbore steel, thereby inhibiting the corrosion of the rock formation by the sandstone retarding acid. For example, DCA-6 or KMS-6 (Beijing Kemaishi Oilfield Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.) can be used.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the solvent includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the group consisting of water and methanol with a weight concentration of 1% to 5%.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the sandstone retarding acid, by weight, comprises: 7-9 parts of an amino acid chelating agent, 7-8 parts of a hydroxycarboxylic acid chelating agent, 3-5 parts of hydrochloric acid, 2-3 parts of hydrofluoric acid, 0.5-1 parts of a corrosion inhibitor, and 74-80.5 parts of a solvent. Compared to other ranges, limiting the amounts of each component in the sandstone retarding acid to the above ranges is beneficial for further improving the chelation reaction efficiency, further increasing the chelate formation rate, and simultaneously improving the permeability of the core after acidification, thereby further suppressing the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0037] The second aspect of this application also provides an application of the aforementioned sandstone slow-reducing acid in the field of oil and gas field development technology.

[0038] The sandstone slowing acid provided in this application has both a slowing effect and a chelating effect on metal ions. When applied to the field of oil and gas field development technology, it can improve the permeability of cores after acidizing, and at the same time inhibit the formation of secondary precipitates such as calcium fluoride, potassium fluorosilicate, and silicic acid.

[0039] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present application.

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0117] Comparing Examples 1 and 2, 7 and 8, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the 1-hour dissolution rate of rock powder in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is greater than that in Examples 1, 2, 7 and 8. This indicates that in the initial stage (0-1h at 90℃), the retarding performance of the sandstone retarding acid prepared in Examples 1 and 2, 7 and 8 is superior to that in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. The combined use of amino acid chelating agents and carboxylic acid chelating agents can leverage their synergistic effect, better utilizing the retarding effect and chelating effect of the sandstone retarding acid, thereby inhibiting secondary precipitation. Furthermore, limiting the weight proportions of amino acid chelating agents, hydroxylic acid chelating agents, inorganic acids, and solvents within the preferred range of this application is beneficial for improving the chelation reaction efficiency, increasing the chelate formation rate, and simultaneously improving the permeability of the core after acidification, thus further inhibiting the formation of secondary precipitation. It should be noted that the 4-hour dissolution rate of rock powder in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is basically the same. This is because the inorganic acid components in the sandstone slow acid are almost completely consumed after 4 hours. In other words, the sandstone slow acid has completely dissolved the rock powder.

[0118] The 1-hour dissolution rates of Examples 3 and 4 were 15.2% and 13.6%, respectively, while the 1-hour dissolution rate of the rock powder in Example 5 was higher than that of Examples 3 and 4, reaching 15.9%. This indicates that in the initial stage (0–1 hour at 90°C), the retarding performance of the sandstone retarding acid prepared in Example 5 was inferior to that of Examples 3 and 4. Similarly, comparing Examples 1 and 6, the 1-hour dissolution rate of the rock powder in Example 6 was as high as 16.3%, significantly higher than that of Example 1. Therefore, the weight ratio of hydrochloric acid to hydrofluoric acid includes, but is not limited to, the preferred range of this application. Limiting it to the preferred range of this application is beneficial for further enhancing the retarding characteristics of the sandstone retarding acid, resulting in better retarding and chelation effects on metal ions. It should be noted that after 4 hours, the dissolution effect of the sandstone slow-release acid on the rock powder in Examples 3 to 5 reached its maximum, and the inorganic acid components in the sandstone slow-release acid were almost completely consumed. Therefore, the fact that the rate of change of dissolution rate in Example 5 from 1 hour to 4 hours in Table 4 is greater than that in Examples 3 and 4 is normal.

[0119] Comparing Examples 1, 9 to 11, it can be seen that the sandstone retarding acid prepared in Examples 1, 9 to 11 showed no significant difference in retarding performance in the initial stage (0-1h at 90℃), while the retarding performance only became apparent in the second stage (1h-4h at 90℃). According to the data in Table 4, it is clear that the sandstone retarding acid prepared in Examples 1, 9, and 10 has better retarding performance than that in Example 12. The number-average molecular weight of the amino acid polymer includes, but is not limited to, the preferred range of this application. Limiting it to the preferred range of this application is beneficial to further improve the chelating ability of the amino acid polymer, thereby further improving the chelating efficiency and core permeability of the sandstone retarding acid.

[0120] Comparing Examples 1, 12, and 13, it can be seen that the weight ratio of polyaspartic acid to sodium gluconate includes, but is not limited to, the preferred range of this application. Limiting it to the preferred range of this application is beneficial to better exert the synergistic effect of the two, and is beneficial to further improve the chelation reaction efficiency and the formation rate of chelates. At the same time, it is beneficial to further improve the permeability of the core after acidification and to further suppress the formation of secondary precipitation.

[0121] Comparing Examples 1, 15 to 17, it can be seen that, compared with other types, using the preferred type of amino acid or amino acid polymer of this application is beneficial to further exert its chelating effect, to improve chelating efficiency, and thus to improve core permeability and inhibit the formation of secondary precipitation.
