Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer gel technology, and in particular to a CO2-responsive gel particle and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the later stages of oilfield development, formation energy is rapidly depleted. To continue crude oil extraction, it is often necessary to replenish formation energy through water or gas injection. CO2, as a greenhouse gas, can dissolve in crude oil, reducing its viscosity and interfacial tension, and improving its expansibility and mobility ratio. Furthermore, CO2 can dissolve organic plugging materials and improve wettability, thereby increasing oil production. CO2 flooding, as one of the most effective methods for enhancing oil recovery, has been widely used worldwide. It not only improves oil recovery but also sequesters carbon dioxide in the reservoir, reducing the greenhouse gas effect.

[0003] However, the presence of large pores and fractures in the reservoir exacerbates its heterogeneity, leading to gas channeling during CO2 displacement. To address this issue, various profile control agents have been developed.

[0004] Pre-crosslinked particulate gel (PPG), as a type of polymer gel, has gained widespread application due to its excellent comprehensive properties. PPG is a highly absorbent polymer material with a three-dimensional network structure. Due to the large number of hydrophilic groups in its chemical structure, it can absorb several to hundreds of times its own weight in water. Furthermore, because the crosslinking reaction of PPG is completed in ground-based equipment, it has advantages such as adjustable particle size, stable chemical structure, and resistance to temperature and salt. However, in the presence of CO2, traditional PPG often undergoes dehydration or a sharp decrease in strength due to the acidic conditions caused by CO2. The lower strength severely limits its use, making its CO2 blocking ability insufficient and thus unable to effectively suppress gas channeling during CO2 displacement, thereby affecting its effect on improving reservoir heterogeneity. Currently, the solution to this problem is to prepare CO2-responsive PPG, which can undergo additional volume swelling upon encountering CO2. However, while PPG obtained through this method has certain CO2 resistance, its temperature resistance and strength are still insufficient, thus limiting its widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a CO2-responsive gel particle and its preparation method, which endows PPG with CO2 resistance while effectively maintaining its temperature resistance and mechanical strength, thereby effectively solving the gas channeling problem in the CO2 displacement process.

[0006] This invention provides CO2-responsive gel particles, obtained by impregnating an initially cross-linked hydrogel in a cationic solution for further cross-linking, followed by drying and pulverization. The initially cross-linked hydrogel is prepared from raw materials including biomacromolecules, a first CO2-responsive monomer, a second CO2-responsive monomer, an organic cross-linking agent, a nano-reinforcing agent, an initiator, and deionized water. The mass ratio of the biomacromolecules, the first CO2-responsive monomer, the second CO2-responsive monomer, the organic cross-linking agent, the initiator, and deionized water is 0.1–5:0.2–2:0.5–5:0.01–0.1:0.01–0.5:5–40. The ratio of the biomacromolecules to the nano-reinforcing agent is 0.1–5 g:0.1–1 mL. The first CO2-responsive monomer is a self-cross-linking CO2-responsive monomer, and the second CO2-responsive monomer is a non-self-cross-linking CO2-responsive monomer. This invention introduces nano-reinforcing agents and multi-crosslinked structures while constructing CO2-responsive PPG, endowing PPG with CO2 resistance while effectively maintaining its temperature resistance and mechanical strength, thereby effectively solving the gas channeling problem in the CO2 displacement process.

[0011] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0012] CO2 responsiveness: PPG absorbs water and swells upon contact with water. However, when CO2 is continuously introduced into the water, PPG will swell further on top of its original swelling. This is known as the CO2 responsiveness of PPG. The normal behavior of PPG is the opposite; the swelling rate decreases or even dehydrates after CO2 is introduced.

[0013] This invention provides a CO2-responsive gel particle, which is obtained by impregnating an initially cross-linked hydrogel into a cationic solution for further cross-linking, followed by drying and pulverization.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the nano-reinforcing agent has vinyl groups capable of cross-linking reactions, thus it can act as a nano-crosslinking agent and reinforcing agent, thereby endowing the polymer network with superior performance. The nano-reinforcing agent is a microsphere with a size of 50–100 nm. The nano-reinforcing agent is synthesized using a sol-gel method. Specifically, the nano-reinforcing agent is vinyl silica nanoparticles (VSNPs), and its preparation method includes the following steps:

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass ratio of the biomacromolecule, the first CO2-responsive monomer, the second CO2-responsive monomer, the organic crosslinking agent, the initiator, and the deionized water is 0.2:0.99:1.498:0.019:0.0285:7.2, 5:0.49:1.03:0.1:0.5:40, 1:0.5:2:0.05:0.2:10, and 0.5:0.99:1.56:0.02:0.1:8; the amount ratio of the biomacromolecule to the nano-reinforcing agent is 0.2g:0.1mL, 5g:3mL, 1g:2mL, and 0.5g:1.5mL.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the initially cross-linked hydrogel is obtained from the raw materials of the components described above through a polymerization reaction. Specifically, the preparation method of the initially cross-linked hydrogel includes the following steps:

[0037] After mixing biomacromolecules, first CO2-responsive monomers, second CO2-responsive monomers, deionized water, organic crosslinking agents, and nano-reinforcing agents, an initiator was added under a protective atmosphere, and polymerization was carried out at 40–70 °C to obtain an initially crosslinked hydrogel.

[0038] The mixing process involves stirring and mixing. The protective gas is nitrogen.

[0039] The polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 50°C for 3 to 5 hours, for example, 5 hours or 4 hours.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cation solution is one of calcium chloride solution, magnesium chloride solution, ferric chloride solution, ferric nitrate solution, zinc chloride solution, and zirconium acetate solution. The concentration of the cation solution is 0.05–5 mol / L, for example, 1 mol / L.

[0041] This invention also provides a method for preparing the CO2-responsive gel particles described above, comprising the following steps:

[0042] The initially cross-linked hydrogel was impregnated in a cationic solution for further cross-linking, and then dried and pulverized to obtain CO2-responsive gel particles.

[0043] The initially cross-linked hydrogel is prepared from raw materials including biomacromolecules, a first CO2-responsive monomer, a second CO2-responsive monomer, an organic cross-linking agent, a nano-reinforcing agent, an initiator, and deionized water;

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pulverization process further includes sieving.

[0049] The present invention does not impose any special restrictions on the source of the raw materials used above, and they can be commercially available.

[0050] PPG that remains stable in an acidic CO2 environment is rare, and PPG that maintains high strength in such an environment is even rarer. To ensure PPG stability in CO2, this invention introduces three CO2-responsive monomers for polymerization, imparting good temperature and salt resistance to the PPG. To enhance the strength of the PPG, this invention constructs a quadruple crosslinking network structure, including self-crosslinking of self-crosslinking CO2-responsive monomers, organic chemical crosslinking of organic crosslinking agents, nano-crosslinking of nano-reinforcing agents, and physical crosslinking of biomolecules and cationic compounds. Through monomer selection and crosslinking structure design, a high-strength PPG that remains stable in an acidic CO2 environment is finally obtained.

[0051] To further illustrate the present invention, the following detailed description of a CO2-responsive gel particle and its preparation method provided by the present invention is provided in conjunction with embodiments, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] In the examples, the nano-reinforcing agent was prepared according to the following method:
