Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield engineering technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a clay stabilizer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Clay is a common mineral found in geological formations. Because clay swells when exposed to water, during reservoir development processes such as water injection, acidizing, or fracturing in oilfields, the porosity in clay-rich reservoirs decreases due to clay expansion, leading to significant pore blockage and water-sensitive damage. To mitigate this reservoir damage, clay anti-swelling agents are widely used. These agents effectively adsorb onto the clay surface, preventing the hydration, expansion, and dispersion of water-sensitive minerals within the reservoir, thus preventing damage to the oil and gas layer and impacting oilfield development.

[0003] Currently used anti-swelling agents mainly include inorganic salts, cationic polymers, and quaternary ammonium salts. Inorganic salts, as the earliest clay anti-swelling agents, primarily utilize inorganic salt ions such as K+. + Inorganic salt-based clay anti-swelling agents are embedded in the clay crystal structure to neutralize the electronegativity of the clay. However, they have weak bonding with the formation and poor ability to prevent clay migration. Cationic polymers contain multiple positive charges in their molecules, allowing for multi-point adsorption on the surface of clay minerals, resulting in good anti-swelling effects and erosion resistance. However, their large molecular weight easily clogs formation pores and throats, impairing formation permeability and making them unsuitable for dense formations. Furthermore, cationic polymers have poor temperature resistance and are prone to decomposition at high temperatures, causing their anti-swelling effect to disappear. Although quaternary ammonium salts have small molecular weights and do not clog the formation themselves, their anti-swelling effect is not as good as that of cationic polymers because they can only produce single-point adsorption on the clay surface.

[0004] CN105198757B discloses a small cationic bisquaternary ammonium salt clay stabilizer and its preparation method. Using epichlorohydrin, small molecule tertiary amine and hydrochloric acid as raw materials, a clay anti-swelling agent with relatively high charge density is prepared. However, due to the still relatively small number of adsorption sites on the clay surface, its anti-swelling effect is not ideal.

[0005] CN106279661B discloses a quaternary ammonium salt type cationic polymer, which is obtained by chemical reaction of aliphatic amines, acids, epichlorohydrin and terminal diamines. This polymer can be adsorbed on the surface of clay particles, which can greatly improve the anti-swelling effect of clay anti-swelling agent at low dosage. However, due to its large molecular weight and poor temperature resistance, it cannot be applied to low-permeability formations, thus limiting its application range.

[0006] CN101921366A discloses a three-branched cationic polymer synthesized from diallyl ammonium chloride and triallyl ammonium chloride for stabilizing clay during oil extraction. However, studies have shown that high molecular weight cationic polymers are unsuitable for low-permeability formations, easily forming plugs in formation pore channels and thus clogging the formation. Furthermore, due to their long molecular chains and numerous cationic groups, these polymers readily react with treatment agents containing anionic groups, significantly impacting the effectiveness of the treatment agents.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need to develop a high-efficiency clay stabilizer with low molecular weight, multi-point adsorption, strong binding force with the stratum, and good anti-swelling properties. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the background art by providing a clay stabilizer and its preparation method, thereby solving the problems of low high-temperature resistance, weak bonding with the formation, poor ability to prevent clay migration, and clogging of low-permeability formation pores in existing clay stabilizers. The clay stabilizer provided by this invention has advantages such as small molecular weight, good anti-swelling effect, strong bonding with the formation, effective prevention of clay particle migration, and high-temperature resistance.

[0009] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions.

[0013] Furthermore, the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention uses polyethyleneamine or polyetheramine, aminosilane, and pyromellitic acid as raw materials, aprotic highly polar organic solvent as solvent, and solid acid as catalyst, and obtains it through an amidation reaction.

[0014] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the conditions for the amidation reaction include: n 均苯三酸 :n 多乙烯胺或聚醚胺 :n 胺基硅烷 =1:3:1.5~1:6:3, the amount of solid acid catalyst added is 0.5%-2% of the total mass of polyethyleneamine or polyetheramine, aminosilane, and pyromellitic acid, the reaction temperature is 130-190℃, and the reaction time is 3-6h.

[0015] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the polyethyleneamine is at least one selected from ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, and pentaethylenehexamine.

[0016] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the aprotic highly polar organic solvent is at least one of dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide.

[0017] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the pyromellitic acid is at least one of pyromellitic tricarboxylic acid and pyromellitic triacetic acid.

[0018] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the aminosilane is at least one of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 3-aminopropyltrihydroxysilane.

[0019] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the clay stabilizer, wherein the solid acid catalyst is prepared from graphite, tin chloride, bentonite, potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0020] Furthermore, in the method for preparing a clay stabilizer according to the present invention, the solid acid catalyst is composed of 10-30% graphite (400-600 mesh), 20-45% tin chloride and 25-70% bentonite by mass fraction, and is obtained by soaking in potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid in a mass ratio of 1:10-20, drying and calcining at 500-600°C.

[0024] (2) The clay stabilizer of the present invention contains siloxane in its molecular structure.
