Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil reservoir profile control and water plugging, and in particular relates to a liquid silicone rubber composition and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The Tahe Oilfield is a high-temperature, ultra-high-salt rock fracture-cavity reservoir with a burial depth exceeding 5000m, a temperature exceeding 125°C, and a mineralization exceeding 22×10 4 mg / L. Reservoirs are primarily composed of large-scale caves and fractures ranging from several meters to tens of meters, creating a large volume of water in the reservoir space. During development, injected water and bottom water rapidly penetrate fractures, significantly increasing the water content of the well and leading to a rapid decline in oil production. A high-density delayed-curing system that is both resistant to ultra-high temperatures and dilution is urgently needed. Conventional polymer gels have poor dilution resistance and are easily hydrolyzed at high temperatures, resulting in poor plugging effectiveness. Granular plugging agents primarily consist of particles such as fly ash, cement, and rubber. These are formulated into a suspension and injected into the formation, bridging pore throats to achieve plugging. Granular plugging agents offer advantages such as low cost and high plugging strength. However, these plugging agents have difficulty bridging large fracture channels in fracture-vuggy reservoirs, making remote plugging difficult. Liquid silicone rubber, in addition to its outstanding high and low temperature resistance, resilience, and hydrophobicity, also possesses a certain degree of fluidity, making it a promising plugging agent. However, existing liquid silicone rubber mainly comes in two types: room temperature vulcanizing type and high temperature curing type. The former cures and forms in a few hours or even days at room temperature, while the latter cures and forms in a few minutes at high temperature. The extremely fast curing time at high temperature makes it impossible for it to penetrate deep into high-temperature and ultra-high salt rock fracture-cavity reservoirs to seal cracks when used as a plugging agent, and cannot meet the requirements of profile control and water blocking in high-temperature and ultra-high salt rock fracture-cavity reservoirs.

A signal of hydrogen on the methoxy group appears at a chemical shift of 3.5 ppm, a signal of the methylene group connected to silicon appears at a chemical shift of 0.5 ppm, and a peak appearing at 0 to 0.3 ppm is attributed to the signal of methyl hydrogen.

[0104] Figure 5 The H NMR spectrum of the 107 silicone rubber used in any one of Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 shows a methyl signal at a chemical shift of 0 to 0.2 ppm, indicating that any one of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention is indeed 107 silicone rubber.

[0105] Figure 6 This is the surface attenuated total reflection infrared spectrum of the liquid silicone rubber composition (or liquid silicone rubber plugging agent) prepared in Example 1 after gelation. It can be determined that the material is based on polydimethylsiloxane. Since the amount of cross-linking agent and catalyst is too small, they cannot be reflected in the spectrum.

[0106] Evaluation of liquid silicone rubber compositions

[0107] The gelation state of the liquid silicone rubber compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 under high temperature and high salt conditions (i.e., 150° C. and a salinity of 220,000 mg / L) was observed, and their delayed curing performance at high temperature was evaluated. The specific steps were as follows:

[0108] i. Weigh 100 g of each of the liquid silicone rubber compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, place them in ampoules together with 50 g of formation water having a salinity of 220,000 mg / L, seal the ampoules, and place them in an oven at 150° C. to begin the experiment. Within 2 hours after the start of the experiment, observe and record the gelation state of the liquid silicone rubber composition every 0.1 hour. Starting after the experiment reaches 2 hours, observe and record the gelation state of the liquid silicone rubber composition every 2 hours.

[0109] ii. According to the visual code evaluation method of Sydansk et al., which classifies the gel strength of the plugging agent into 10 levels based on visual inspection results, the time when the liquid silicone rubber compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 reached Grade F was determined in combination with Table 1. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0110] Table 1. Gel Strength Code Standards

[0111]

[0112] Table 2. Time for liquid silicone rubber composition to reach F grade

[0113] Serial number Time to reach F level / h Example 1 20 Example 2 14 Example 3 8 Example 4 12 Comparative Example 1 2 Comparative Example 2 0.5 Comparative Example 3 0.2

[0114] As can be seen from Table 2, the liquid silicone rubber compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 4 take 8 to 20 hours to reach Class F gel strength (specifically, the high deformation non-flowing gel in Table 1) at a high temperature of 150°C, and the gel time is long enough. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 replaces the crosslinking agent tetraethyl silicate with an equal mass of vinyl trisbutyl ketoxime silane, that is, uses a crosslinking agent commonly used for room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber outside the scope of the present invention. The curing time of the liquid silicone rubber composition prepared therefrom is shortened by 90%, specifically 2 hours, which cannot meet the water plugging operation that requires delayed curing under high temperature conditions; Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 replaces adipic acid with an equal mass of dibutyltin dilaurate, that is, uses a catalyst commonly used for room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber outside the scope of the present invention. The curing time of the liquid silicone rubber composition prepared therefrom is shortened by 90%, specifically 2 hours. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 replaced the crosslinker tetraethyl silicate with an equal mass of methyltributylanoximesilane and the catalyst adipic acid with an equal mass of dibutyltin dilaurate. The replacement crosslinker and catalyst were both outside the scope of the present invention. The resulting liquid silicone rubber composition had a very short curing time of only 0.2 h at 150°C, a 99% reduction in curing time compared to Example 1. It is also unsuitable for water plugging operations requiring delayed curing under high temperature conditions. Therefore, the liquid silicone rubber compositions prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 cannot be used for profile control and water plugging operations in high-temperature, ultra-high-salinity reservoirs such as the Tahe Oilfield due to their excessively fast curing speed at high temperatures. The above experimental results can prove that the catalyst and the cross-linking agent in the liquid silicone rubber composition provided by the present invention have a synergistic effect in delaying the curing speed of the liquid silicone rubber, so that the liquid silicone rubber composition can slowly cure under high temperature and ultra-high salinity conditions, with a curing time of 8 to 20 hours. It is suitable for use as a plugging agent in profile control and water plugging operations in high-temperature and ultra-high salinity oil reservoirs such as the Tahe Oilfield, and can effectively seal cracks deep in the oil reservoir.

[0115] Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. Furthermore, the subject matter, spirit, and scope of the invention may be modified in various ways to adapt to specific circumstances, materials, combinations of materials, and methods. All such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the claims.
