Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemistry, and is an aminosulfonic acid betaine type surfactant containing a polyoxyethylene ether chain segment, a preparation method and application thereof, and an acid fracturing drainage aid using the aminosulfonic acid betaine type surfactant containing a polyoxyethylene ether chain segment as a raw material. Background Art

[0002] Fracturing transformation technology is an important measure for the transformation of low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs. It is the leading technology for achieving efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources, increasing and stabilizing the production of conventional oil and gas fields, and improving the effect of reservoir transformation. During the fracturing process, it is usually necessary to rely on the formation pressure to quickly discharge the return fluid from the well to the ground. When the formation pressure gradually decreases, the return rate decreases significantly, and the residue in the return fluid will cause blockage after precipitation, resulting in secondary pollution of the formation, which seriously affects the construction efficiency and the effect of acid fracturing transformation. In order to solve the problem of difficulty in returning the return fluid after oil acid fracturing, the use of drainage aids is a conventional method.

[0003] A drainage aid is one of the fracturing fluid additives. Its main component is a surfactant, which can effectively reduce surface tension and interfacial tension, reduce capillary resistance, increase backflow rate and backflow rate, and thus reduce formation damage. At present, fluorocarbon surfactants are mostly used as the main components of drainage aids at home and abroad. They are prepared by compounding fluorocarbon surfactants, other surfactants and low-carbon alcohols. Fluorocarbon surfactants have high surface activity and can reduce surface tension to 23mN / m. However, they are expensive, difficult to degrade, have high biological toxicity, and are easy to cause damage to the human body and the environment. Low-carbon alcohols (such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol) are highly volatile, and there are health and safety hazards in the production environment and on-site construction. Developing a surfactant without biological toxicity, and based on this, developing a green and environmentally friendly drainage aid system that does not contain low-carbon alcohols and fluorocarbon surfactants has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
