Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of oil and gas reservoir production engineering, and in particular to a hydrolyzable polymer and a preparation method thereof, an intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid for fracturing and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of petroleum, fracturing refers to a method of using hydraulic force to create cracks in oil and gas layers during oil or gas production, also known as hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing is the process of artificially creating cracks in the formation to improve the flow environment of oil and gas underground and increase the production of oil and gas wells. It plays an important role in improving the flow conditions at the bottom of oil and gas wells, slowing down interlayer flow and improving the utilization of oil and gas layers.
[0003] At present, the main method of fracturing is hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is to inject fluid into the well at high speed by a ground high-pressure pump truck group, and use the high pressure at the bottom of the well to break the rock of the oil and gas layer to produce cracks. In order to prevent the pressure from dropping after the pump truck stops working and the cracks from closing again, sand with a density several times greater than that of the formation is mixed into the injected liquid after the formation is broken, and enters the cracks together with the fluid and stays in the cracks permanently, supporting the cracks in an open state, so that the oil and gas flow environment can be improved for a long time. At present, hydraulic fracturing technology is very mature, and the effect of increasing oil and gas well production is obvious. It has long become the preferred common technology. Especially for oil and gas layers with small oil and gas flow channels, that is, low permeability oil and gas layers, the effect of increasing production is particularly prominent. Furthermore, ultra-low and ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs and shale oil and gas reservoirs are the main objects for further exploitation in the future. The reason why they can be developed is related to the fracture system (natural fractures and hydraulic fracturing artificial fractures) existing in their oil and gas reservoirs.
[0004] Fracturing fluid is an important part of fracturing technology. Its main function is to create cracks and transport proppant along the opened cracks, so the viscosity of the fluid is crucial. Successful fracturing operations require that the fluid not only has high viscosity in the cracks, but also can break gel quickly; can be quickly returned after the operation; can well control the liquid loss; has low friction during pumping; and is economically feasible. Drainage aid is one of the important adjuvants in fracturing fluid, which significantly reduces the oil-water interfacial tension and the flow resistance of the liquid in the core, achieving efficient drainage.
[0005] At present, the drainage aids used in fracturing fluids are mainly fluorocarbon surfactants or their composites formed by compounding with other surfactants. Surfactants have ionic polar heads or lone pairs of electrons, and are easily adsorbed on the formation. During the construction process, they will be adsorbed in large quantities in the formation near the wellbore of the fracturing wellbore, resulting in a loss of effective concentration, and cannot reach the far end of the fracture in a large concentration. In addition, the compound drainage agent is formulated by several surfactants, and "chromatographic separation" will occur during the migration of the reservoir, that is, the multiple components cannot be kept uniformly distributed all the time, so the comprehensive performance achieved in indoor experimental tests cannot be achieved.
[0006] Therefore, how to overcome the technical problems of existing drainage aids, such as large amount of adsorption in the near-wellbore formation, low effective concentration, "chromatographic separation" during the migration of conventional compound drainage agents, and failure to achieve the comprehensive performance achieved by compound drainage agents in indoor experimental tests, and provide a new type of drainage agent, is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the invention
[0007] As mentioned above, existing drainage aids have the disadvantages of large amount of adsorption near the wellbore formation and "chromatographic separation" during migration. The present invention provides a hydrolyzable polymer and its preparation method, a hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid for fracturing and its application. The drainage aid of the present invention is a polymer surfactant, not a formula. Unlike traditional formula drainage aids, "chromatographic separation" will not occur during reservoir migration (i.e., multiple components cannot be uniformly distributed all the time), and the comprehensive performance achieved in indoor experimental tests cannot be achieved. The hydrolyzable polymer and intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid of the present invention solve the technical problem that conventional formula drainage aids are prone to "chromatographic separation" and the comprehensive performance achieved in actual applications is far from that achieved in experimental tests. They also solve the technical problem that conventional drainage aids are adsorbed prematurely during migration, resulting in a large loss of drainage agents. Moreover, the hydrolyzable polymer and intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid of the present invention have higher surface activity and lower surface-interfacial tension after hydrolysis, can meet the needs of fracturing drainage aids for ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, shale oil and gas, etc., and have extremely high application value.
[0008] Specifically, taking the intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage agent for fracturing as an example, the intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage agent for fracturing of the present invention is in a liquid state as a finished product, which is easy to pump; after meeting water, the drainage agent is precipitated in the fracturing fluid in a solid form because the solvent is soluble in water, and enters the formation together with the fracturing fluid, and migrates to the far end as the fracture extends; since the hydrolyzable functional groups in the polymer molecular structure of the drainage agent require a certain amount of time to hydrolyze, the drainage agent is in a solid form during the migration process to avoid premature adsorption near the wellbore; when it reaches the far end of the fracture, it will quickly dissolve (tens of minutes) during the process of soaking the well (several days or weeks) to play a role; and since the drainage agent is a polymer surfactant and not a formula, it will not undergo "chromatographic separation" during the reservoir migration process like the traditional formula drainage agent, that is, the multiple components cannot always remain evenly distributed, and the comprehensive performance achieved in indoor experimental tests cannot be achieved. The groups of the polymer surfactant of the present invention that play a role do not have "chromatographic separation", can act synergistically, have high surface activity, and have low surface tension, and can meet the needs of fracturing and drainage assistance for ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, shale oil and gas, etc.

[0050] For the sake of explanation, as an example, the polymer degassing agent of the present invention can be prepared and used as follows:
[0051] (1) Synthesis method
[0052] The reaction was carried out using DMF as solvent.
[0053] The reactants are polymerized from a hydrophobic monomer styrene, a hydrophilic monomer maleic anhydride, an amine / ammonium hydrophilic monomer and one or more fluorine-containing monomers.
[0054] Pre-mixing outside the kettle is adopted. Pre-mixing: ①Part of the solvent DMF, hydrophilic monomer maleic anhydride, amine / ammonium hydrophilic monomer and one or more fluorine-containing monomers are dissolved at room temperature (≤30℃). ②Part of the solvent DMF, initiator azobisisobutyronitrile are dissolved at room temperature (≤30℃). Note that the temperature should not be too high to prevent accidental polymerization of monomers due to impurities.
[0055] First add DMF and styrene into the kettle, then heat to 75-85℃ and stir at 80-200r / min;
[0056] Use a diaphragm pump to slowly drop the prepared solutions ① and ② into the kettle, respectively, and control the dropping time to 90-180 minutes. During this period, the temperature in the kettle cannot exceed 90℃. If it exceeds 90℃, stop dropping, and continue dropping when the temperature drops below 85℃ until all the solutions are added. Keep the temperature at 75-85℃ and continue the reaction for 0.5-1.5 hours.
[0057] After the final reaction was completed, the reactants in the kettle turned into a light yellow, uniform, stable, slightly viscous liquid.
[0058] (2) Principle of hydrolysis in cracks
[0059] The styrene polymer part in the polymer provides hydrophobicity, and maleic anhydride provides two carboxyl groups after hydrolysis ( Figure 1 ), the cationic monomer provides a cationic head and partial hydrophobicity, and a small amount of fluorinated monomer can further reduce the surface interfacial tension.
[0060] The product itself is a liquid with DMF as solvent, which is easy to pump. When the product is pumped into the fracturing fluid, DMF will dissolve in water. At this time, because the anhydride part of the polymer has not yet been hydrolyzed, the whole molecule is highly hydrophobic. Under stirring, it will precipitate in the form of loose solid particles and enter the wellbore with the fracturing fluid, further enter the fracture system generated by fracturing, and gradually move to the far end of the fracture network.
[0061] The fracturing operation has a large displacement (10-20m / min). 3 ), the precipitated solid polymer will quickly (within a few minutes) enter the formation fracture system with the fracturing fluid, and migrate with the fracturing gap, avoiding premature adsorption near the wellbore, so that it is easier to approach the oil layer. When it reaches the distal gap, it will quickly dissolve (tens of minutes) during the soaking process (several days or weeks). (After the fracturing is completed, a well will be soaked according to the specific situation, usually for a few days or longer, and the wellhead will be closed. After the designed soaking time is reached, the well will be opened for backflow (part of the fracturing fluid will be discharged, and oil and gas will gradually appear). Because the dissolution time of the polymer drainage agent is short, most of it will be dissolved during fracturing, and a small amount of undissolved will also be completely dissolved in this process), thereby obtaining a hydrolyzed polymer surfactant and playing a role.
[0062] (3) Surface interfacial tension test
[0063] The surface interfacial tension test is carried out in accordance with standards SY / T 5370 and Q / SH 3580 0160.
[0064] The synthetic polymer drainage agent is a light yellow liquid. The performance test of its hydrolyzate shows that the interfacial tension of a 0.1% aqueous solution (based on the mass of the polymer in the polymer drainage agent) is less than 1mN / m and the surface tension is less than 23mN / m. (Note: At present, it is generally required that the surface tension of a 0.1% aqueous solution of the drainage agent is ≤28mN / m; but for wells with high drainage requirements, the surface tension is often required to be ≤23mN / m).
[0065] In summary, the invention uses hydrophobic monomer styrene, hydrolyzable hydrophilic monomer maleic anhydride and the like as raw materials and DMF as solvent to synthesize a fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid for fracturing. The product itself is a liquid and is easy to pump. When pumped into the fracturing fluid, the anhydride part of the polymer has not yet been hydrolyzed, and the entire molecule exhibits strong hydrophobicity. Under stirring, as the solvent dissolves in water, the product will precipitate in the form of loose solid particles, and enter the wellbore together with the fracturing fluid, migrate to the far end of the fracture network, and gradually dissolve. The hydrolyzate of the polymer of the present invention has a relatively low surface tension and can meet the needs of fracturing drainage aids such as ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs and shale oil and gas.
[0066] The sixth aspect of the present invention is to provide an application of the hydrolyzable polymer described in the first aspect, or the hydrolyzable polymer prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect, or the hydrolyzable polymer drainage agent described in the third aspect, or the fracturing fluid composition described in the fourth aspect, or the polymer surfactant described in the fifth aspect in the petroleum field; preferably,
[0067] Application in the field of fracturing and recovery in oil production.
[0068] Preferably, the application includes:
[0069] The hydrolyzable polymer or the hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid is mixed with a fracturing fluid to obtain a fracturing fluid composition containing a hydrolyzable polymer, wherein the hydrolyzable polymer exists in the form of solid particles;
[0070] The hydrolyzable polymer is transported with the fracturing fluid to the fracture system generated by fracturing and migrates to the far end of the fracture network;
[0071] When the hydrolysis conditions of the hydrolyzable polymer are reached, the hydrolyzable polymer is hydrolyzed and dissolved in water to obtain a polymer surfactant;
[0072] The polymeric surfactant is contacted with an oil reservoir.
[0073] According to the present invention, there is no particular restriction on the hydrolysis conditions of the hydrolyzable polymer. When it encounters water, the polymer drainage aid begins to dissolve. Because of different molecular structures and temperatures, the dissolution time is also different. It has been verified that in the presence of water, regardless of the temperature, the polymer drainage aid of the present invention will be completely hydrolyzed in 6 hours, that is, a polymer surfactant is obtained. For example, when the temperature is 90°C, the hydrolysis time is about 5-20 minutes.
[0074] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0075] The drainage aid of the present invention is a polymer surfactant, not a formula, and will not undergo "chromatographic separation" (i.e., multiple components cannot be uniformly distributed all the time) during the migration of the reservoir like the traditional formula drainage aid, and cannot achieve the comprehensive performance achieved during the indoor experimental test. The hydrolyzable polymer and the intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid of the present invention solve the technical problem that the conventional formula drainage aid is prone to "chromatographic separation" and the comprehensive performance achieved in practical applications is far from that achieved during the experimental test, and solves the technical problem that the conventional drainage aid is adsorbed too early during the migration process, resulting in a large loss of the drainage aid. Moreover, the hydrolyzable polymer and intra-fracture hydrolyzable polymer drainage aid of the present invention have higher surface activity and lower surface-interfacial tension after hydrolysis, and can meet the needs of fracturing drainage aids such as ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs and shale oil and gas, and have extremely high application value.

[0181] Test example
[0182] The following experiments were carried out using the polymer drainage aids in the examples and comparative examples:
[0183] A mixed solution of the polymer drainage aid with a concentration of 0.1 wt% was prepared with deionized water based on the mass of the polymer in the polymer drainage aid. The solution was placed at 90°C for hydrolysis for 2 hours, and the surface tension of the hydrolyzate was tested. The interfacial tension of the hydrolyzate was also tested.
[0184] During the experiment, it was found that the polymer drainage aid of the present invention is in a liquid state. After it meets water, the solvent dissolves in water, and the drainage aid precipitates in the fracturing fluid in a solid form. It can be seen that the finished drainage aid of the present invention is in a liquid state, which is convenient for pumping; after it meets water, the solvent dissolves in water, and the drainage aid precipitates in the fracturing fluid in a solid form. In this way, during the migration process, the drainage aid is in a solid form to avoid premature adsorption near the wellbore.
[0185] It is found from the experiment that the polymer drainage aid of the present invention is completely dissolved in the solid form after hydrolysis for 2 hours at a temperature of 90°C, and the polymer drainage aid is hydrolyzed into a polymer surfactant. The detection method of surface tension and interfacial tension is carried out according to standards SY / T 5370 and Q / SH 3580 0160, and the specific results are shown in Table 1.
[0186] From the above verification of the present invention, it can be known that the polymer drainage aid in the embodiment of the present invention is hydrolyzed at a temperature of 90°C for 2 hours to obtain a solution containing a polymer surfactant. After further verification, it is found that in an aqueous environment, the polymer drainage aid of the present invention will be completely hydrolyzed within 6 hours at a temperature greater than 25°C. Since the polymer surfactant in the present invention will not undergo chromatographic separation, the experimental test results of the surfactant of the present invention are equivalent to the results of actual application. It can be seen from the experiment that the hydrolyzate of 0.1wt% polymer has a low surface interfacial tension, most of which is less than 20mN / m; the interfacial tension is less than 0.1mN / m. The polymer surfactant of the present invention has a low surface interfacial tension, which can meet the needs of fracturing drainage of ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, shale oil and gas, etc., and has a very high application value.
