Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum additives technology, specifically to a hydrophobic monomer and its preparation method, a polymer gel and its preparation method and application, and a plugging material and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Well leakage is a common and complex issue in oil and gas exploration and development, posing a severe threat to normal drilling and completion operations. Severe leakage, due to its large leakage space and the presence of formation water, makes it difficult to guarantee the success rate and scientific validity of conventional plugging techniques. According to traditional plugging principles, successful plugging occurs when the plugging material enters the leakage zone and forms a plug with a strength exceeding the working fluid pressure in the wellbore, thus preventing the working fluid from further penetrating the formation. At this point, the plugging material remains stationary in the leakage channel near the wellbore, filling the entire channel. Subsequently, the plugging material undergoes physical and chemical changes, hardening to form a plug sufficient to withstand the pressure exerted by the working fluid on the formation. The larger the size of the formation leakage channel, the more difficult it is for the plugging material to remain within it, resulting in a lower success rate. Therefore, for severe leakage caused by large leakage channels, conventional plugging methods such as plugging while drilling, thickened fluid plugging, bridge plug plugging, chemical consolidation plugging, and cement slurry push plugging have a high failure rate.

[0003] In recent years, the isolated gel slug plugging technology has demonstrated a high success rate in addressing severe lost circulation (WS) encountered during drilling operations, particularly in formations with water-bearing layers. The principle behind this technology is that a structural fluid that easily enters the lost circulation zone automatically stops flowing within it, filling the fractures and pores. This fluid is difficult to dilute by formation fluids, thus forming a "slug" that isolates the fluids within the formation from those in the wellbore. This "slug" possesses sufficient initiation pressure; the pressure difference between the initiation pressure of the "slug" and the formation fluid pressure achieves temporary plugging. Cement slurry is then applied to seal the formation near the wellbore, achieving the purpose of plugging the leak. The structural fluid that forms the "slug" is the key to this technology. Currently, much research focuses on ZND smart gel developed by Southwest Petroleum University. This hydrophobic associative polymer exhibits good water solubility, withstands temperatures up to 120℃, and its most significant characteristic is its excellent shear dilution properties, achieving high dilution rates even at low shear rates (7.34s). -1 Under certain conditions, its apparent viscosity can reach 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 4 -3.0×10 4 mPa·s, at high shear rates (1000 s) -1Its apparent viscosity is around 100 mPa·s. It flows easily in formations near surface pipelines and wells; after being pumped into the lost circulation zone, it quickly thickens into a gel upon stopping the flow, filling the entire fracture and cavern space. However, with the development of oil and gas exploration, the number of high-temperature deep wells is gradually increasing, and the formation water has a certain degree of mineralization. Therefore, there are relatively few types of heat-resistant, salt-resistant, and calcium-resistant plugging gels suitable for high-temperature lost circulation formations. Summary of the Invention

[0291] Test case

[0292] 1. Test of gelation time

[0293] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were dissolved in water to prepare polymer solutions with a mass concentration of 1.5 wt% as test products. These solutions were then placed in a water bath at 25°C to test the gelation time and viscosity (test conditions: shear rate 7.34 s). -1 The polymer solution loses its fluidity and exhibits clumping properties during the initial gelation stage, and reaches final gelation once the viscosity remains unchanged. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0294] Table 1. Gel formation time and maximum viscosity of different products

[0295] reagents Gel formation time (min) Maximum viscosity (mPa·s) Example 5 185 39410 Example 6 169 39400 Example 7 177 38360 Example 8 190 37720 Example 9 190 35040 Example 10 192 35010 Example 11 170 37850 Example 12 186 38200 Example 13 174 36120 Example 14 199 36550 Example 15 185 37320 Example 16 182 38200 Example 17 190 37140 Example 18 195 36750 Example 19 188 39000 Example 20 172 38310 Example 21 185 28800 Comparative Example 1 / 4200 Comparative Example 2 181 18600 Comparative Example 3 187 21000

[0296] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and 5-20 using the structural units of the polymer gels containing the hydrophobic monomers of the present invention all had gelation times of less than 200 min and maximum viscosities of more than 28,000 mPa·s. In particular, the maximum viscosities of the polymer gels in Examples 5-20 were all higher than 35,000 mPa·s, which is suitable for the requirements of on-site leak sealing construction. Comparative Example 1 did not gel, and the viscosity remained at 4,200 mPa·s. The maximum viscosities of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 were only 18,600 mPa·s and 21,000 mPa·s, respectively. This indicates that the polymer gel products prepared by replacing Example 1 with octadecyl acrylate or N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide had weaker gelation effects.

[0297] 2. Temperature resistance test

[0298] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were dissolved in water to prepare polymer solutions with a mass concentration of 1.5% as test products. These solutions were aged for 16 hours at different temperatures, cooled to room temperature, and then placed in a 25°C water bath to test their maximum viscosity (test conditions: shear rate 7.34 s⁻¹). -1 The experimental results are shown in Table 2:

[0299] Table 2. Maximum viscosity of the product at different temperatures (mPa·s)

[0300]

[0301] Table 2 shows that the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 gradually decreased with increasing aging temperature. After aging at 160℃ for 16 hours, the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-21 was higher than 25000 mPa·s, especially that of Examples 5-20, which was higher than 30000 mPa·s, demonstrating good temperature resistance. In contrast, the maximum viscosity of Comparative Examples 1-3 was lower after high-temperature aging, indicating weaker temperature resistance. The above test results indicate that the polymer gels prepared using octadecyl acrylate or N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide have relatively weak temperature resistance.

[0302] 3. Salt tolerance test

[0303] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were dissolved in NaCl solutions of different concentrations to prepare polymer solutions with a mass concentration of 1.5% as test products. After cooling to room temperature, the solutions were placed in a water bath at 25°C to test their maximum viscosity (test conditions: shear rate 7.34 s). -1 The experimental results are shown in Table 3:

[0304] Table 3. Maximum viscosity (mPa·s) of the product in different NaCl solutions.

[0305]

[0306]

[0307] As shown in Table 3, the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 gradually decreased with increasing NaCl concentration, with the most significant decrease observed in Examples 21 and Comparative Example 1. When the NaCl concentration increased to 12.0 wt%, the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-20 was consistently above 30,000 mPa·s, demonstrating excellent salt resistance. These test results indicate that the synergistic effect of phosphonate monomers and the hydrophobic monomers in this invention plays a positive role in improving the salt resistance of the polymer gel.

[0308] 4. Calcium resistance test

[0309] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were dissolved in CaCl2 solutions of different concentrations to prepare polymer solutions with a mass concentration of 1.5% as test products. After cooling to room temperature, the solutions were placed in a water bath at 25°C to test their maximum viscosity (test conditions: shear rate 7.34 s). -1 The experimental results are shown in Table 4:

[0310] Table 4. Maximum viscosity (mPa·s) of the product in different CaCl2 solutions.

[0311]

[0312]

[0313] As shown in Table 4, the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 1-3 gradually decreased with increasing CaCl2 concentration, especially Example 21 and Comparative Example 1, where the decrease in maximum viscosity was most significant. When the CaCl2 concentration increased to 1.5 wt%, the maximum viscosity of Examples 5-20 was all above 30000 mPa·s, exhibiting good calcium resistance. These test results indicate that the synergistic effect of phosphonate monomers and the hydrophobic monomers in this invention has a positive effect on improving the calcium resistance of the polymer gel.

[0314] 5. Evaluation of water dilution resistance

[0315] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 2-3 were respectively formulated into polymer solutions with a mass percentage concentration of 1.5% as test products. After standing for 12 hours and allowing them to fully gel, they were cut into gel blocks of 0.5cm×0.5cm×0.5cm for later use.

[0316] A cubic sieve cage, 5.0 cm in length, width, and height, was made using an 80-mesh sieve with a 0.2 mm wire diameter. The sieve cage had an opening at the top for mounting to the stirrer blades. A polymer block of mass m1 was placed in the sieve cage, which was then fixed to the stirrer. Water of mass m2 was measured in a beaker, and the sieve cage was immersed in the water. The stirrer was turned on at 50 rpm to stir the aqueous solution above the polymer block. After stirring for a certain period, the sieve cage was lifted and suspended until no water dripped out. The mass of the water in the beaker was measured as m3. The difference between the mass of m3 and m2 represents the mass of the diluted polymer gel. The hydrogel's dilution resistance is... The smaller the K value, the better the hydrogel's anti-dilution performance. The experimental results are shown in Table 5.

[0317] Table 5. Anti-dilution properties (%) at different stirring times

[0318]

[0319] As shown in Table 5, the dilution resistance of the polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 and Comparative Examples 2-3 gradually increased with time. After stirring for 60 minutes, the dilution resistance of Examples 5-21 was less than 11%, which can meet the needs of on-site leak sealing construction.

[0320] 6. Shear dilution test

[0321] The polymer gels prepared in Examples 5-21 were formulated into polymer solutions with a mass percentage concentration of 1.5% as test products. Shear rates were measured using a temperature-controlled rheometer at 25°C, ranging from 7.34 to 100 s⁻¹. -1 The apparent viscosity under the specified conditions was tested, and the change of apparent viscosity (AV) of different polymer gels before gelation with shear rate was measured. The test results are shown in Table 6.

[0322] Table 6. AV (mPa·s) at different shear rates

[0323]

[0324] As can be seen from Table 6, the AV of the solutions prepared using Examples 5-20 first decreases rapidly with the increase of shear rate, and then tends to stabilize, indicating that the polymer gel of the present invention has good shear dilution properties, which is beneficial for the leakage channel injected from the wellbore into the leaky layer.

[0325] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
