Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petrochemical technology, specifically relating to a supramolecular compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum, often called "liquid gold," is a crucial strategic reserve resource. In recent years, my country's rapid economic development has increased its demand for oil, resulting in a significant shortfall in production. Reliable estimates suggest that my country's oil demand will reach 680 million tons by 2030, with 78% relying on imports. However, the insufficient production is not due to insufficient reserves, but rather because up to 60% of crude oil is trapped in tiny rock fissures, making it difficult to extract using its own pressure or water injection. Therefore, tertiary oil recovery technology—using physical, chemical, or biological methods to alter the properties of the crude oil or its solid / liquid and oil / water interfaces—is essential to improve oil recovery rates. Thus, continuously developing new tertiary oil recovery technologies to enhance crude oil recovery is crucial for alleviating the domestic crude oil supply shortage.

[0003] Foam flooding technology is considered a promising tertiary oil recovery technology due to its excellent plugging and profile control performance and selectivity for oil and water. However, foam is a dispersion system formed by insoluble or slightly soluble gases dispersed in a liquid, often with a very large gas-liquid interface area. This results in a high surface free energy, making it a thermodynamically unstable system, especially at high temperatures. The foam often collapses before the oil displacement process ends, limiting its application in high-temperature oil and gas reservoirs. To overcome this limitation, high-temperature resistant foam systems have been continuously studied, yielding some results. For example, CN104276983A discloses a method for preparing a surfactant for enhancing oil recovery; CN116144377A discloses a novel fluorobetaine surfactant and its preparation method; and CN103666430A relates to a surfactant composition for enhanced oil recovery and its preparation method. However, these surfactants either have complex compositions or cumbersome synthesis processes, which are not conducive to industrial production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a compound with excellent surface properties, good foaming properties and salt resistance, which can be prepared by a simple synthesis method. Summary of the Invention

[0102] (2) Surface performance testing: The Du Noüy ring method was used to test the 50 mM mother liquor containing supramolecular compounds provided in Examples 1-3, and the 50 mM mother liquor containing straight-chain alcohol ether carboxylic acids (C... 12 The equilibrium surface tension of the mother liquor containing EO8COOH. Pour into a clean weighing dish. 16 mL of 18.2 MΩ·cm ultrapure water was added to the solution, and the above-mentioned mother liquor was added dropwise. After equilibration for different time periods, the surface tension was measured using the Du Noüy ring method. Once the surface tension value stabilized, the mother liquor was added again to obtain the surface tension versus concentration curve. The test temperature was 25 ± 0.1℃, and the average value of three measurements was taken.

Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the supramolecular compounds and straight-chain alcohol ether carboxylic acids (C) provided in Examples 1-3 can be obtained through this figure. 12 Critical micelle concentration (cmc) and equilibrium surface tension (mN·m) of EO8COOH -1 The results are shown in Table 2 below;

[0103] Table 2

[0104] <![CDATA[Critical micelle concentration (cmc) / mol·L -1 > <![CDATA[Equilibrium surface tension / mN·m -1 > <![CDATA[C 12 EO8COOH]]> <![CDATA[1.46×10 -5 ]]> 32.10 <![CDATA[12-EO2-12]]> <![CDATA[7.56×10 -5 ]]> 24.45 <![CDATA[24-EO7-EO2-24]]> <![CDATA[7.18×10 -6 ]]> 30.12 <![CDATA[12-EO8-EO2-12]]> <![CDATA[5.61×10 -6 ]]> 31.93

[0105] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with C 12 The surface activity parameters of EO8COOH reveal that the supramolecular compound provided by this invention, composed of non-covalent bonds, exhibits low equilibrium surface tension and a critical micelle concentration reaching 10. -6 The equilibrium surface tension can be reduced to 24.45 mN·m, which is on the order of magnitude of [the previous value]. -1 Regarding 12-EO2-12, its surface tension is much smaller than that of C. 12 EO8COOH fully demonstrates its excellent surface properties.

[0106] (3) Foam performance test: The foaming performance and stability of the foam were evaluated using the Waring stirring method according to the China National Petroleum Corporation enterprise standard "Technical Specification for Foaming Agents for Foam Displacement" (Q / SY 17816-2021). The specific method was as follows: 200 mL of supramolecular compound aqueous solution of different concentrations was poured into a measuring cup, stirred at high speed for 60 s, and the solution in the measuring cup was quickly transferred to a measuring cylinder. The volume of the foam (V) and the time required to separate 100 mL of liquid from the foam, i.e., the drainage half-life (t), were recorded. 1 / 2 The composite index FCI = V × t 1 / 2 ;

[0107] The experimental temperature was 90℃, and the experimental water was deionized water. Let V represent the foaming capacity, and t represent the foaming capacity. 1 / 2 This indicates the stability of the foam. The larger the value of V, the stronger the foaming ability of the supramolecular compound. 1 / 2 The larger the value, the better the foam stability; the higher the FCI (Follicular Index), the better the foam performance of the supramolecular compound. The results are shown in Table 3 below:

[0108] Table 3

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] As can be seen from Table 3, 12-EO2-12 exhibits the best foam performance, which is attributed to its equilibrium surface tension value reaching 24.45 mN·m. -1 The foam index was 553,000 when the concentration of the 12-EO2-12 aqueous solution was 0.6 wt%, which fully demonstrates the potential of the supramolecular compound provided by this invention as a foam displacement agent in high-temperature oil reservoirs.

[0112] (4) Wetting performance test: A glass slide with a negatively charged surface was used to simulate the sandstone surface. The contact angle of the oil droplets on the glass slide when the oil droplets coexist with the aqueous phase was measured by the oil droplet (n-decane) method. The contact angle of the aqueous phase was then converted to characterize the wettability of the supramolecular compound on the solid surface. The specific operation is as follows:

[0113] A rectangular glass slide (25mm × 15mm) was uniformly cut, washed, and then soaked in a 30wt% NaOH aqueous solution for 24 hours. After soaking, the slide was carefully removed, rinsed repeatedly under water, and air-dried. A clean, dry glass slide was placed on a support in a rectangular glass trough (35mm (L) × 25mm (D) × 20mm (H)). A supramolecular compound aqueous solution of different concentrations (0.05wt%, 0.1wt%, 0.2wt%, 0.3wt%, 0.4wt%) was added to cover the slide. After standing at 25±0.2℃ for 24 hours, the slide was transferred to the stage of a contact angle measuring instrument. At 25℃, a droplet of approximately 1μL was slowly released from a U-shaped needle. The droplet floated and was captured by the glass slide. A schematic diagram of the contact angle measurement is shown below. Figure 6 As shown. Images of the inverted droplet were captured using a contact angle meter (LAUDAS Scientific Dynamic Contact Angle Meter LSA100). The test results are as follows. Figure 7-9 As shown in Table 4 below, the contact angle θ (°) of the aqueous phase was calculated.

[0116] The smaller the contact angle, the stronger the oleophobicity. As can be seen from Table 4, the contact angle of the supramolecular compound provided by the present invention is almost between 25° and 30°, indicating that the glass slide has strong oleophobicity at this time, proving that the supramolecular compound provided by the present invention has good wettability.

[0117] (5) Salt tolerance test: Prepare a simulated formation water mother liquor with a total salinity of 199,674 ppm according to the ion concentrations shown in Table 5:

[0120] By diluting the simulated formation water mother liquor with deionized water, a series of simulated formation waters with low salinity can be obtained. The salinity and mass concentration are shown in Tables 6 and 7 below:

[0121] Table 6

[0125] The specific procedure for the salt tolerance test is as follows: A 0.4 wt% solution of the supramolecular compound was prepared in a 25 mL glass bottle using simulated formation water with different mineralization. After dissolving or dispersing evenly, the solution was placed in an 80±0.5℃ incubator for 24 hours. The transmittance T (%) of the solution after standing at 80℃ for 24 hours was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (LabTech UVPower) under visible light (wavelength 600 nm). The mineralization corresponding to the point where the transmittance of the solution begins to decrease significantly is the salt tolerance of the sample at 80℃. The results are shown in Tables 8-10 below. Table 8 shows the salt tolerance of the sample containing C. 12 The transmittance data of EO8COOH solutions are shown in Table 9, which contains 24-EO7-EO2-24, and Table 10, which contains 12-EO8-EO2-12.

[0132] As can be seen from Table 8, C 12 EO8COOH has a salt tolerance of less than 1 wt%, compared to C. 12 Even when the concentration of simulated formation water reaches 7 wt%, the transmittance of the EO8COOH solution containing 12-EO8-EO2-12 can still reach 99.5%, which is not much different from the transmittance of deionized water. This indicates that no supramolecular compounds are precipitated at this time, which fully demonstrates that the supramolecular compounds provided by this invention have excellent salt resistance.
