Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drilling technology and relates to a water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer, specifically a water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer with high temperature resistance and anti-polyelectrolyte effect, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Maintaining drilling fluid performance under the prevalent high-temperature and high-salinity conditions in deep formations has become an unavoidable technical challenge. Extreme downhole conditions often degrade the performance of various drilling fluid additives, especially filtration loss reducers. High temperatures lead to polymer degradation and chain breakage, while high salinity causes polymer coiling and poor water solubility, severely impacting drilling fluid performance. This not only directly affects the drilling fluid's ability to build borehole walls and suspend cuttings in complex environments but can also potentially lead to serious downhole accidents.

[0003] Synthetic polymers, with their adjustable molecular weight and functional group ratios, represent a mainstream research direction. However, conventional copolymers often struggle to simultaneously possess excellent temperature and salt resistance. This is because, under high temperature and high salinity conditions, conventional copolymers frequently experience polymer chain breakage, structural alterations, and degradation, leading to performance decline. Therefore, seeking new synthetic routes and material design strategies to achieve stability and controllability of polymers under extreme conditions is a crucial direction in current polymer materials research. Zwitterionic copolymers are widely used due to their good thermal stability and salt resistance. However, with increasing drilling depth, conventional zwitterionic copolymers are prone to degradation, affecting the performance of fluid loss reducers and failing to effectively meet the needs of field applications. The situation worsens when encountering highly mineralized formations. Therefore, developing temperature- and salt-resistant, stable, and reliable water-based drilling fluid loss reducers has become a key technological guarantee for effective and safe drilling in deep formations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, and in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, especially the low temperature and salt resistance of existing filtration loss reducers, the present invention provides a water-based drilling fluid filtration loss reducer, which is a water-based drilling fluid filtration loss reducer that is resistant to high temperature and has anti-polyelectrolyte effect, and discloses the preparation method and application of the water-based drilling fluid filtration loss reducer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The first objective of this invention is to provide a water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer that is resistant to high temperatures and polyelectrolyte effects, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0007] Acrylamide 5-25 parts, zwitterionic monomer 1-15 parts, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid 5-25 parts, initiator 0.1-0.5 parts, deionized water 60-200 parts.

[0008] Preferably, the zwitterionic monomer is prepared according to the following method:

[0009] (1) Sodium bicarbonate and imidazole were added to an aqueous acetone solution and stirred for 10 min to obtain solution 1. 4-Chloromethylstyrene was slowly added dropwise to solution 1 at a rate of 1 s / drop to carry out the reaction. After vacuum filtration, ether extraction, water washing, hydrochloric acid back-extraction, neutralization with sodium hydroxide solution, ether extraction, and drying, a yellow oily substance was obtained.

[0010] (2) The yellow oily substance and 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone were dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and reacted. The white solid obtained during the reaction was filtered and dried to obtain a zwitterionic monomer.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of sodium bicarbonate, imidazole, and 4-chloromethylstyrene is 10:20-30:15; the concentration of the acetone aqueous solution is 50%; the reaction temperature is 40-60℃, and the reaction time is 20-30h.

[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the mass ratio of the yellow oily substance, 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone, and anhydrous acetonitrile is 8:5:180; the reaction time is 12-36 h, the reaction temperature is 20-80 °C; and the drying is vacuum drying at 30-50 °C for 12-24 h.

[0013] According to the present invention, the preparation route of the zwitterionic monomer is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] Preferably, the initiator is azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride, ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, or cerium ammonium nitrate.

[0016] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer as described above, which is resistant to high temperatures and has an anti-polyelectrolyte effect.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0018] A method for preparing a water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer that is resistant to high temperatures and polyelectrolytes includes the following steps:

[0019] Acrylamide, zwitterionic monomer and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid were added to deionized water and stirred until fully dissolved. The pH was adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution. Then, nitrogen gas was blown into the solution to remove oxygen. An initiator was added and the temperature was raised to the reaction temperature to carry out the reaction. The solution was dried and pulverized to obtain the water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer with high temperature resistance and anti-polyelectrolyte effect.

[0020] Preferably, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 2 mol / L, and the reaction pH is 5-9.

[0021] Preferably, the nitrogen blowing time is 20-50 min; the reaction temperature is 45-65℃, the reaction time is 2-24 h; and the drying is carried out at 60-80℃ for 20-30 h.

[0022] According to the present invention, the structural formula of the water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer is as follows:

[0023]

[0024] The third technical objective of this invention is to provide an application of the high-temperature resistant and polyelectrolyte-resistant water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer described above in high-salinity and water-sensitive formations, with a concentration of 1-3 wt% in the drilling fluid.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] 1. The water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer disclosed in this invention, which is resistant to high temperatures and has an anti-polyelectrolyte effect, is a polymer with an anti-polyelectrolyte effect, prepared by copolymerizing acrylamide, zwitterionic monomer, and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid through free radical polymerization.

[0027] It should be noted that the water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer of the present invention, which exhibits high-temperature resistance and anti-polyelectrolyte effect, incorporates specific amounts and types of zwitterionic monomers. Currently, commercially available zwitterionic monomers, such as sulfobetaine methacrylate, are extensively studied, but are initially surrounded by a thick hydration shell composed of eight water molecules, severely hindering their salt-binding ability. Compared to sulfobetaine methacrylate, the zwitterionic monomer synthesized in this invention incorporates a phenylmethylene imidazole motif, which significantly enhances salt-binding ability and anti-polyelectrolyte effect, thereby strengthening hydration and improving temperature and salt resistance.

[0028] In addition, acrylamide has good water absorption and retention properties, which can help form a stable filter cake on the well wall during drilling, thereby effectively reducing filtration loss. The introduction of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid not only enhances water solubility, but also significantly improves the salt resistance of the polymer. Since the sulfonic acid group has a negative charge, it can form an electrostatic shield with salt ions (such as Na+) to prevent salting out effect, thus ensuring the stable performance of the filtration loss reducer in high-salt environments.

[0029] 2. The components of the water-based drilling fluid filtration reducer disclosed in this invention work together in a specific ratio to achieve the excellent effect of this invention. That is, the filtration reducer of this invention has excellent rheological and filtration reduction properties under high temperature and high salinity conditions, which meets the drilling requirements of high salinity and water-sensitive formations.

API High temperature and high pressure filtration loss FL HTHP (180℃, 3.5MPa), the results are shown in Table 1.

[0092] Table 1 Drilling Fluid Performance Tests

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] Experimental results show that adding 1% of the filtration loss reducer of this invention can reduce the API filtration loss of freshwater-based drilling fluid from 30.0 mL to 7 mL, and the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration loss from 120 mL to 23.5 mL. This is because the high-temperature and high-salt environment disrupts the colloidal stability of the drilling fluid, leading to a significant increase in filtration loss. The API filtration loss and high-temperature and high-pressure filtration loss of DF2, DF3, and DF4 after high-temperature aging are total filtration losses. The filtration losses of drilling fluids F2, F3, and F4 after high-temperature aging with the filtration loss reducer of this invention are 4.0 mL, 4.3 mL, and 2.3 mL, respectively, and the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration losses are 20 mL, 25 mL, and 18 mL, respectively. Under saturated salt conditions, the API filtration loss of drilling fluid with 2% Driscal-D after high-temperature aging is 21.5 mL, and the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration loss is 89.0 mL. The drilling fluid with the filtration loss reducer of this invention exhibited an API filtration loss of 4.5 mL under the same conditions and a high-temperature, high-pressure filtration loss of 25.5 mL, representing reductions of 79% and 71% respectively compared to Driscal-D. This demonstrates that the zwitterionic filtration loss reducer of this invention possesses excellent temperature and salt resistance, reaching salt saturation resistance, exhibiting 35% resistance to CaCl2, and 50% resistance to HCOONa.

[0096] Test Example 2

[0097] 400 mL of drilling fluids F2, F5-F7, and DF5-DF7 were stirred at 11000 r / min for 30 min, and then hot-rolled at 200℃ for 16 h. After aging, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred at 11000 r / min for 30 min. The apparent viscosity (AV, mPa·s), plastic viscosity (PV, mPa·s), shear force (YP, Pa), and API filtration loss (FL) of the above drilling fluids were determined according to the petroleum and natural gas industry standard GB / T29170-2012 "Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry - Laboratory Testing of Drilling Fluids". API High temperature and high pressure filtration loss FL HTHP (180℃, 3.5MPa), the results are shown in Table 2.

[0098] Table 2 Drilling Fluid Performance Tests

[0099] Drilling fluid AV / mPa·s PV / mPa·s YP / Pa <![CDATA[FL API / mL]]> <![CDATA[FL HTHP / mL]]> F2 21.0 17.0 4.0 4.5 25.5 F5 12.5 12 0.5 4 20 F6 9 9 0 6.1 31.5 F7 8 8 0 9.6 45 DF5 5 5 0 19.5 85 DF6 6 3 0 18.5 75 DF7 11.5 10.5 1 17.5 68

[0100] The test results in Table 2 show that appropriately increasing the proportion of zwitterionic monomers in the polymer can further reduce filtration loss. This is because the phenylmethylene imidazole motif significantly enhances salt-binding ability and anti-polyelectrolyte effect, thereby enhancing hydration and improving salt resistance. Furthermore, the phenylmethylene imidazole motif has a significant steric hindrance effect, which can improve the polymer's temperature resistance. The results from DF5 show that the filtration loss reduction and rheological properties of the polymer without added zwitterionic monomers decrease. The results from DF6 show that the polymer's filtration loss reduction performance decreases. This is because when the proportion of zwitterionic monomers further increases, the excessive amount of phenylmethylene imidazole motifs hinders polymerization between monomers due to their steric hindrance effect. Therefore, the proportion of zwitterionic monomers in the polymer needs to be controlled within the range of this invention. At this range, the polymerization effect of zwitterionic monomers with other monomers is good, resulting in excellent filtration loss reduction performance. Although commercially available sulfobetaine methacrylate is also a zwitterionic monomer, its temperature resistance is poor and its binding ability with salt ions is weak, therefore its performance is inferior to that of this invention.

[0101] In summary, the zwitterionic filtration reducer of the present invention has a temperature resistance of up to 200℃, a NaCl resistance of 36%, a CaCl2 resistance of 35%, and a HCOONa resistance of 50%. It exhibits excellent rheological and filtration reduction properties under high temperature and high salinity conditions, meeting the drilling requirements of highly mineralized and water-sensitive formations.

[0102] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail in the description of the filtration loss reducing agent of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
