Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of admixtures for oil fields, and in particular relates to a preparation process of an admixture for large temperature difference and high salt resistance oil well cement. Background Art

[0002] Oil well cement is cement specially used for cementing oil and gas wells. It is an important factor affecting the quality of cementing. Cement slurry needs to be injected into the well. Therefore, oil well cement is required to have suitable density and fluidity, be able to solidify and reach a high early compressive strength in a short time, and the hardened cement slurry has good stability and corrosion resistance. In order to make the various properties of cement better meet the requirements of cementing, it is often necessary to add one or more admixtures to the cement slurry system to adjust its performance. In recent years, with the increasing depletion of oil and natural gas resources in shallow waters, my country's oil production has gradually developed towards deep and ultra-deep layers in the ocean. Due to the high temperature conditions underground, especially when the temperature exceeds 200°C, the hydration and hardening process of oil well cement, the composition of hydration products, and the microstructure of the hardened body will all undergo significant changes, affecting the cement slurry thickening and cement stone strength.

[0003] Under high temperature conditions, the concentration of free calcium ions in the early stage of cement hydration is relatively low. The retarder molecules compete for calcium ions and multiple polymer molecules chelate one calcium ion, which makes the long-chain polymers form a bridge network, which is easy to cause overlap between the long-chain molecules of the retarder in the slurry, resulting in some non-chelated polymer molecules being entrained in the polymer of the bridge network. Under the mechanical rotation of the stirring shaft, the bridge network and the overlapping retarder carried by it are stirred around the outside of the stirring shaft, resulting in a decrease in the distribution of the retarder in the core, and the hydration process of the cement slurry cannot be effectively inhibited, inducing abnormal thickening problems. In addition, the existing high-temperature retarders need to ensure the safe construction of cement slurry at ultra-high temperatures, while also causing the slow development of the compressive strength of the cement stone in the top low-temperature section, that is, over-retardation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop large temperature difference anti-salt admixtures to make the performance of oilfield cement meet the cementing requirements.

[0004] Patent CN114395074B discloses a preparation method and application of an organic-inorganic hybrid fluid loss additive for oil well cement. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, acrylamide monomers, carboxylic acid monomers and sodium p-styrene sulfonate to distilled water, stirring evenly at room temperature, and adjusting the pH; adding an initiator, heating the reaction to obtain a liquid anionic polymer fluid loss additive; mixing the liquid anionic polymer fluid loss additive with magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite, stirring at 65-75°C for 6-8 hours for sedimentation, washing with water, centrifuging, freeze-drying and grinding to obtain an organic-inorganic hybrid fluid loss additive for oil well cement. This invention uses water as the dispersion medium, has a simple preparation process and low cost, can effectively reduce the water loss of cement slurry at high temperature, improve the over-retardation phenomenon of cement slurry caused by a single polymer fluid loss reducer, has good adaptability to oil well cement, and is suitable for use as an oil well cement fluid loss reducer. However, the use of this invention at higher temperatures is limited by the thermal stability of the fluid loss reducer, and the high temperature difference salt resistance performance is not achieved by improving the structure and composition of hydrotalcite. Summary of the invention

[0029] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0030] The invention uses a zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite calcined product to add a retarder for adsorption to prepare an admixture for oil well cement with large temperature difference and high salt resistance. The zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite calcined product is prepared by preparing a zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite precursor with a zinc source and an aluminum source, and then calcining at a low temperature. The retarder is prepared by adding a chelating agent and an initiator to polymerize 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, sodium 3-prop-2-enoyloxypropane-1-sulfonate, a carboxylic acid monomer, and an acrylamide monomer as raw materials. The invention has a simple preparation process and is easy to realize industrial production. The zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite is used as a carrier, and the porosity can be reduced in the early stage of oilfield cement hydration, the water seepage resistance can be enhanced, and the compressive strength of the cement can be improved. The chlorine atoms in the oilfield cement can be adsorbed, so that the admixture for large temperature difference and high salt resistance oil well cement has salt resistance, and the effective components can be slowly released at high temperature to further achieve a retarding effect. The invention can solve the problems of abnormal thickening of cement slurry in the early stage of hydration at high temperature caused by directly adding a retarder to the oilfield cement and excessive retarding caused by adding too much retarder, and is suitable for large temperature difference and high temperature environments.

[0031] The invention adopts zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite as a carrier, which can not only reduce the porosity and enhance the water seepage resistance in the early stage of oilfield cement hydration, but also absorb chloride ions in the solution and has high salt resistance. The calcination treatment makes the retarder adsorbed and embedded in the hydrotalcite calcination product, and the zinc oxide impurities formed by the calcination not only do not affect the rheology of the oilfield cement, but also the zinc hydroxide generated by the zinc oxide and water can form a film to inhibit the hydration reaction, and has a certain retarding effect.

[0032] The retarder of the present invention introduces a sulfonic acid group which is not easy to hydrolyze, has good temperature resistance and poor sensitivity to the attack of external metal cations, thereby improving the high temperature resistance and salt resistance of the retarder; the hydroxyl groups with strong hydrophilicity and adsorption capacity can construct a network structure on the surface of cement particles, thereby improving the filtration and water loss control ability of the retarder; and the long side chains contained have lubrication and steric hindrance effects, thereby improving the rheological properties of cement slurry.

[0033] The retarder produced by dehydration and decomposition of hydrotalcite at high temperature can continue to play a retarding effect and can respond to temperature intelligently, so that the admixture is suitable for large temperature difference and high temperature environment.

[0085] Performance test of admixtures for large temperature difference and high salt resistance oil well cement

[0086] The cement slurry was prepared according to GB / T19139-2012 "Test Methods for Oil Well Cement". The cement formula is shown in Table 1:

[0087] Table 1 Cement formula

[0088]

[0089] Salt resistance test

[0090] The admixtures prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were added to the cement slurry systems of semi-saturated brine and saturated brine, and the static API water loss of the cement slurry systems of semi-saturated brine and saturated brine was tested. The prepared cement slurry was placed in a normal pressure thickener for curing for 20 minutes and then poured into a high temperature and high pressure water loss instrument to collect the water loss of the cement slurry within 30 minutes. The test temperature was 220°C and the test pressure was 6.9 to 7.1 MPa. The static API water loss calculation formula of the cement slurry is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] Where V API It is the static API water loss of cement slurry, in mL.

[0093] V t It is the volume of cement slurry water loss collected within 30 minutes, in mL.

[0094] T is the time for collecting cement slurry filtration water loss, in minutes.

[0095] The test results are shown in Table 2:

[0096] Table 2 Static API water loss test of cement slurry system with semi-saturated brine and saturated brine

[0097]

[0098] It can be seen from the data in Table 2 that the static API water loss of the cement slurries of Examples 1 to 6 in semi-saturated brine and saturated brine is all below 50 mL, meeting the static API water loss requirement of oilfield cement, and the static API water loss in semi-saturated brine and saturated brine does not change much, indicating that the admixture prepared by the present invention has excellent salt resistance.

[0099] The static API water loss of the cement slurry in comparative example 1 in semi-saturated salt water is less than 50mL, but the static API water loss in saturated salt water is greater than 50mL. The reason is that the raw material ratio and calcination conditions for preparing zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite do not meet the requirements, resulting in changes in the structure of zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite, and the amount of adsorbed effective components of the retarder is greatly reduced. In semi-saturated salt water, zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite and a small amount of retarder in the admixture can exert a certain salt resistance, but in saturated salt water, due to too few effective components of the admixture and changes in the structure of zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite, the ability to adsorb chloride ions is greatly reduced, and the salt resistance performance does not meet the requirements. The static API water loss in semi-saturated salt water of comparative example 2 is close to 50mL, and the static API water loss in saturated salt water is greater than 50mL. The reason is that the ingredients for preparing the retarder are changed, and the carboxylic acid monomer is changed to acrylic acid. The retarder cannot construct a network structure on the surface of the cement particles through the carboxyl group, which reduces the retarder's ability to control filtration and water loss, thereby affecting the salt resistance of the admixture, resulting in the static API water loss of the cement slurry in saturated salt water not meeting the requirements.

[0100] Large temperature difference slow setting test

[0101] The admixtures prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were added to cement slurry and thickened at 140°C, 160°C, 180°C and 200°C. The time from the start of the reaction until the cement slurry reached a consistency of 70 Bc was recorded.

[0102] The test results are shown in Table 3:

[0103] Table 3 Cement slurry thickening time test

[0104]

[0105] It can be seen from the data in Table 3 that as the thickening temperature increases, the thickening time of the cement slurry is shortened. After the admixtures prepared in Examples 1 to 6 are added to the cement slurry, the thickening time at 140 to 200°C is more than 200 minutes, and as the temperature increases, the thickening time of the cement slurry does not decrease significantly, indicating that the admixture prepared by the present invention has excellent retarding ability at high temperatures, and at a temperature difference of 60°C, the retarding effect of the admixture is not lost, indicating that the admixture prepared by the present invention is suitable for environments with large temperature differences and high temperatures.

[0106] The thickening time of the cement slurry in Comparative Example 1 is reduced compared with the thickening time of Examples 1 to 6, and the thickening time at 200°C is significantly reduced. The reason is that the raw material ratio and calcination conditions for preparing zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite do not meet the requirements, resulting in changes in the structure of zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite, which cannot respond intelligently to changes in ambient temperature, causing the effective ingredients of the retarder in the admixture to be released prematurely at high temperatures. Since the concentration of free calcium ions in the solution in the early stage of cement hydration under high temperature conditions is relatively low, the retarder molecules compete for calcium ions and multiple retarder molecules chelate one calcium ion, thereby causing the high molecular long-chain polymer to form a bridge network, resulting in non-chelated retarder molecules being entrained in the bridge network polymer, so that the hydration process of the cement slurry cannot be effectively inhibited, resulting in a decrease in the cement thickening time, which cannot meet the needs of cement in oil fields with large temperature differences. The thickening time of the cement slurry in Comparative Example 2 is also significantly shortened compared with the thickening time of Examples 1 to 6. The reason is that the composition of the retarder is changed, resulting in the lack of long side chains and carboxyl groups in the retarder molecules, which makes the retarder molecules lack lubrication and steric hindrance, and cannot effectively improve the rheological properties of the cement slurry, thereby affecting the shortening of the thickening time of the cement.

[0107] Large temperature difference compressive strength test

[0108] The admixtures prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were added to cement slurry as the experimental group, and the cement slurry without admixture was used as the control group. The prepared cement slurry was placed in a high temperature and high pressure thickener, heated to the cycle temperature and maintained for 1 hour, and then the cement slurry was taken out after cooling, and placed in a mold and cured in a 60°C water bath for 3 days before being taken out for compressive strength testing. The cycle temperature was set at 120°C, 180°C, and 240°C. The compressive strength of cement was calculated as follows:

[0109]

[0110] Where P is the compressive strength, in MPa.

[0111] F is the maximum pressure in kN.

[0112] L is the length of cement stone, in meters.

[0113] The test results are shown in Table 4:

[0114] Table 4 Cement compressive strength test

[0115]

[0116] It can be seen from the data in Table 4 that after the cement slurry solidifies into cement paste, the compressive strength of the cement paste at 3d decreases with the increase of the cycle temperature. The compressive strength of the cement slurries of Examples 1 to 6 at 3d decreases less, and the compressive strength is higher than that of the control group without the addition of the admixture, indicating that the addition of the admixture prepared by the present invention can significantly improve the early compressive strength of the cement paste at a temperature difference of 60 to 180°C.

[0117] Compared with the experimental group, the compressive strength of cement paste in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 at 3d is improved, but the improvement is lower than that in Examples 1 to 6. The reason is that the structure of the zinc-aluminum hydrotalcite in Comparative Example 1 changes, resulting in a decrease in its adsorption capacity, and the increase in the early compressive strength of the cement is lower than that in the examples. The composition of the retarder prepared in Comparative Example 2 is changed, resulting in the lack of long side chains and carboxyl groups in the retarder molecules, which reduces the water loss control ability and rheological capacity of the cement slurry added thereto, thereby making the early compressive strength of the cement lower than the early compressive strength of the cement in the examples.
