Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cementing engineering, in particular to a mud cake destroying type oil displacement flushing agent. Background Art

[0002] Surfactant-based oil-displacing flushing agents are widely used in oil fields, especially in cleaning oil stains, lubricants and equipment surfaces. However, in complex oil reservoirs or environments containing high molecular weight substances, their oil-displacing effects are not satisfactory. Especially in oil field environments with high viscosity, high salinity, or a large amount of impurities, the oil-displacing effect of surfactants is limited and is likely to have a certain impact on the environment and water quality.

[0003] With the increasing development and utilization of unconventional oil and gas resources, white oil-based drilling fluids are increasingly widely used in the field of oil drilling due to their better lubricity, thermal stability and rheological properties. However, during drilling, white oil-based drilling fluids are retained on the well wall, making it difficult to clean the well wall and casing, and forming a dense, oil-based mud cake with strong oiliness and hydrophobicity. Conventional water-based cleaning agents cannot directly play a role, and it is extremely difficult to remove during the cementing process, thereby reducing the bonding quality of the cement sheath and affecting the quality of the project. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention proposes a mud cake destroying oil displacement flushing agent. The flushing agent of the present invention has good flushing efficiency, high dissolution efficiency, and readily available raw materials at a moderate price.

[0005] The mud cake destroying oil displacement flushing agent of the present invention is composed of the following substances in percentage by mass: 8-12% sodium dodecyl sulfate; 4-6% emulsifier; 0.375-2.5% emulsifying aid; 7.5-12.5% ​​dissolving aid; 6.5-8.5% mud cake destroying agent; 0.5-1.0% glass fiber; and the rest is water.

[0006] The emulsifier is a mixture of Tween 80 and OP-20, with a mass ratio of Tween 80:OP-20 = 1:1.

[0007] The emulsifying aid is polyether L62.

[0008] The dissolving aid is alcohol, such as methanol and isopropanol.

[0009] The mud cake destroyer is a mixture of sodium hydroxide, ammonium persulfate and EDTA-2Na, with a mass ratio of sodium hydroxide: ammonium persulfate: EDTA-2Na = 1:2:1. Sodium hydroxide consumes asphaltene, ammonium persulfate oxidatively decomposes polymers, and EDTA-2Na chelates and removes insoluble solid phase weighting materials.

[0010] The length of the glass fiber used is 3 mm, and the flushing effect is improved by enhancing the mechanical cleaning ability of the flushing agent, improving its fluidity, improving high temperature resistance and increasing its structural stability.

[0011] The preparation method of the mud cake destroying oil displacement flushing agent is simple, and the steps are as follows: adding water into a reaction kettle, then adding a surfactant, an emulsifier, an emulsifying aid, a dissolving aid, a mud cake destroying agent, a mud cake destroying aid, and glass fiber weighed in proportion into the reaction kettle, and stirring fully to obtain the mud cake flushing agent.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the mudcake-destroying oil-displacing flushing agent of the present invention has good flushing efficiency, high dissolution efficiency, readily available raw materials and a moderately priced flushing agent formula, which can achieve the effect of destroying the mudcake of white oil-based drilling fluid and improve the cementing efficiency in a white oil-based drilling fluid environment.
