TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas reservoir exploitation and the field of oil and gas reservoir formation protection and formation repair, and further relates to an oil and gas reservoir water lock resolving chemical agent, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water lock damage is a common problem in the process of oil and gas reservoir development. For example, in the process of drilling, well completion, well repair and production operation, due to the introduction of a large amount of construction fluid, the phenomenon of retention of foreign fluid in the porous medium often occurs, which significantly reduces the reservoir permeability and the relative permeability of oil and gas. For another example, in the later stage of oil and gas reservoir development, as the production time is prolonged, the production pressure difference of some high-pressure low-yield wells will gradually increase, which causes the bound water in the formation outside the reservoir to gradually flow into the near wellbore zone, resulting in water lock. In addition, the concept of water lock damage in oil and gas reservoirs can also be extended to liquid lock damage. For example, in natural gas reservoirs, especially in condensate natural gas reservoirs, due to the continuous production of condensate oil in the process of gas well production, the condensate oil gradually condenses and accumulates at the bottom of the natural gas well. When the accumulated water and condensate oil at the bottom of the well cannot be carried out of the wellhead with the gas flow, reverse seepage will occur in the capillary pores in the low permeability formation, resulting in water lock damage and condensate damage, which affects the productivity of the gas well, which belongs to liquid lock damage. Especially in low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, due to the characteristics of low porosity and low permeability of the reservoir, the flow channel of the fluid is narrow, the seepage resistance is large, and the interaction force between the interfaces is large, which makes the water lock and liquid lock damage particularly prominent.
[0003] Once water lock damage occurs, it will greatly affect the productivity of the oil and gas reservoir. Therefore, how to prevent and resolve water lock damage is one of the important issues for realizing stable and increased production of oil and gas fields.
[0004] There are two main reasons for water lock damage, including capillary self-suction and liquid phase retention, which are affected by fluid surface / interface tension, capillary wetting angle, and the pore throat radius of the formation rock, formation pressure, invasion depth of foreign fluid and fluid viscosity, etc. aggravate the occurrence of water lock damage and condensate damage. At present, the technical means for resolving water lock damage in oil and gas reservoirs include increasing the production pressure, thermal cleaning, formation fracturing and other physical means, but the most important method for resolving water lock is to use water lock resolving chemical agents. The working principle of water lock resolving chemical agents is to use surfactants and other agents to reduce the surface tension of water, regulate the wettability of the formation, etc., so as to promote the discharge of the blocked water in the oil and gas reservoir formation, thereby achieving the effect of resolving water lock damage. For natural gas reservoirs with condensate damage, the corresponding water lock resolving chemical agent needs to have good wettability regulation performance, so that the formation matrix is close to neutral wetting after treatment, thereby realizing the effect of discharging the fluid causing damage in the formation.
[0005] The main idea of the water lock releasing agent in the prior art is to reduce the surface tension, and less attention is paid to the properties of regulating wettability (contact angle data) and reducing viscosity or the performance is poor; in the newly reported technology, a new type of water lock releasing agent containing a biosurfactant is used, and the cost is high and the performance stability is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to study a chemical agent suitable for oil and gas reservoir water lock release, which can be prepared by using conventional surfactants, reduce the cost, improve the performance stability, and has the properties of low surface tension, good wettability, low viscosity and the like. SUMMARY
[0006] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides an oil and gas reservoir water lock releasing chemical agent, a preparation method and application thereof.
[0007] The water lock releasing chemical agent provided by the present application can reduce the surface tension of water, regulate the surface of a strong water-wet matrix to neutral wettability, and has the effect of reducing the viscosity of the fluid, so that the damage caused by the water lock and liquid lock of the oil and gas reservoir can be effectively eliminated.
[0008] The water lock releasing chemical agent provided by the present application can make the components interact with each other and synergistically by combining two types of surfactants. The anionic fluorine surfactant can fully exert the characteristics of ultra-high surface activity, greatly reduce the surface tension of the fluid, and the addition of the amphoteric surfactant can further improve the efficiency of the two types of surfactants. When the anionic fluorine surfactant and the amphoteric surfactant are used in a specific ratio, the arrangement of the composite system at the gas-liquid interface is more compact than that of a single surfactant, which can greatly improve the surface interfacial properties and wettability regulation ability of the system, and promote the reasonable adsorption of the surfactant composition on the surface of the matrix, effectively exert the wettability regulation ability, create a low-energy surface of the matrix, promote the discharge of the blocked water and oil in the formation, and play a good water lock releasing effect. In addition, the synergistic aid as a water structure breaker can destroy the interaction between water molecules to a certain extent, reduce the apparent viscosity of the whole system, improve the flowability of the damaging fluid, and further promote the elimination of water lock. The addition of the small molecule solvent can improve the solubility of the whole chemical agent system, and also partially reduce the viscosity of the system.

[0080] Comparative Example 4
[0081] The water lock releasing chemical was prepared by using the following raw materials with the mass fraction: anionic fluorine surfactant C 10 F 21 CH2O(PO) 10 (EO) 16 C3H6COONa 2.5%, zwitterionic surfactant (CH3)3NCHC 12 H 25 COOK 45%, solvent 52.5%, the solvent is deionized water, methyl vinyl ether and ethanol with a mass ratio of 4:1:1.
[0082] The water lock releasing chemical was prepared by using the following raw materials with the mass fraction: anionic fluorine surfactant C
[0083] The water lock releasing chemicals prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were respectively diluted with deionized water to an effective concentration of 0.1 w.t.%, and the surface tension of each water lock releasing agent was determined according to "GB / T 22237-2008 Determination of surface tension of surfactants", and the determination results are shown in Table 1.

[0086] As can be seen from Table 1, the surfactant composition provided in Examples 1-4 has a lower surface tension. Especially, as can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the combination of anionic fluorine surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant can greatly reduce the surface tension of water due to the synergistic effect between the components.
[0087] The contact angles of the water lock releasing chemicals prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested to evaluate the ability of the water lock releasing agent for oil and gas reservoirs to regulate the wettability of the formation.
[0088] Specifically, a hydrophilic quartz piece was selected as the test substrate, and the quartz piece was cleaned with an alcohol solvent and ultrapure water for multiple times. The ultrapure water was almost completely spread on the quartz piece for testing, and the contact angle was less than 5°. The water lock releasing chemicals prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were respectively diluted with deionized water to an effective concentration of 0.1 w.t.% to obtain test solutions, and the quartz piece was immersed in the solution for 24 h and then naturally dried. (1) The contact angle of water and the treated quartz piece was tested, and the test results are shown in Table 2; (2) the glass piece was immersed in water, and the contact angle of n-octane in water and the glass piece was tested, and the test results are shown in Table 3.

[0093] As can be seen from Tables 2 and 3, the water lock releasing chemical agents provided by Examples 1 to 4 can regulate the surface of a strong water-wet substrate to neutral wetness. In particular, as can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, the combination of an anionic fluorinated surfactant and a zwitterionic surfactant can exhibit a synergistic effect due to the interaction between the components, and can exhibit a wetness regulating performance that is significantly better than that of a single chemical agent.
[0094] The water lock releasing chemical agents prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were diluted to an effective concentration of 0.1 w.t.%, and the viscosity was tested according to GB / T 22235-2008, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0097] In summary, the lower the surface tension, the easier it is for the water lock to be removed from the capillary channels caused by damage; the more neutral the wettability of the formation, the less likely it is for fluids such as water and condensate to adhere to the surface of the formation substrate, thereby causing the water lock damage to be removed as soon as possible; the lower the viscosity of the fluid, the faster the water lock damage is removed. The viscosity of the water lock releasing chemical agents prepared in Examples 1 to 4 diluted to 0.1 w.t.% is 0.89 mPa·s to 0.95 mPa·s, which is lower than that of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 (1.08 mPa·s and 1.02 mPa·s, respectively), and the fluid has a lower viscosity and a faster liquid removal rate.
[0098] The water lock releasing chemical agents prepared in Examples 1 to 4 have a synergistic effect due to the interaction between the components, can significantly reduce the surface tension of water to less than 20 mN / m, can regulate the surface of a strong water-wet substrate to neutral wetness, and can promote the removal of the blocking fluid in the formation; the apparent viscosity of the entire system is low, which can improve the flowability of the damage-causing fluid and further promote the removal of the water lock; and the anionic fluorinated surfactant and the zwitterionic surfactant used in the present application are conventional industrial surfactants, have a low cost, have good temperature resistance and salt resistance, have better stability, and are conducive to use and promotion in practice.
