Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a preparation method of a self-degradation plugging agent and a reservoir protection drilling fluid, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploitation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, in order to ensure the safety of domestic oil and gas supply and the contradiction between supply and demand, the exploration and development of oil and gas resources in China are continuously developing towards complex, low-permeability, fractured and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, and higher requirements are put forward for efficient, rapid and economic exploitation of oil and gas. Strengthening the protection of oil and gas reservoirs and reducing the damage to oil and gas reservoirs are key means to ensure efficient exploitation of oil and gas resources.

[0003] Drilling is the first step to open the oil and gas reservoir, and therefore how to effectively prevent or reduce the damage to the reservoir during the oil and gas drilling process so as to improve the oil and gas exploitation efficiency of a single well is a key technology to realize efficient development of oil and gas. In the process of drilling, the oil and gas reservoir is first contacted with the drilling fluid after being opened, and different types and sizes of solid particles in the drilling fluid can easily invade the natural pores near the well wall to cause pollution and damage to the oil and gas reservoir. The existing plugging removal technology is relatively complex and has limited effect, is easy to form new chemical and mechanical plugging, reduces the permeability of the formation, causes secondary pollution of the reservoir, and is difficult to contact the solid plugging particles in the deep part of the reservoir pore to completely remove the plugging and seriously reduce the permeability of the oil and gas reservoir, thereby reducing the production of the oil and gas well and increasing the oil and gas production cost. How to minimize the invasion of solid particles in the drilling fluid and efficiently remove the invaded solid particles is a key to the protection of the oil and gas reservoir.

[0004] In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have developed many different reservoir protection methods and plugging removal technologies, mainly by scientifically and reasonably selecting the pre-screening temporary plugging and post-acidizing plugging removal, biological enzyme plugging removal technology and the like according to different plugging and reservoir conditions, so as to reduce the damage degree of the oil and gas reservoir, thereby increasing the production of the oil and gas well and improving the economic benefit. However, the subsequent treatment of the formation plugging still needs to use the conventional plugging removal technologies such as the chemical method, the physical method, the microbial method and the composite plugging removal method. These plugging removal processes are complex, and if the plugging removal measures are not properly handled, new chemical plugging and mechanical plugging can be caused, thereby reducing the permeability of the formation.

[0005] At present, the oil and gas reservoir drilling fluid protection materials in the drilling process mainly include acidifiable materials, oil-soluble materials, biodegradable materials, biodegradable polymers and temperature-sensitive polymer materials, which need auxiliary conditions to unblock and do not have good self-degradation characteristics. The temperature resistance, plugging performance and degradation performance of the materials still need further research. Therefore, in view of the contradiction between plugging and reservoir protection in the drilling process of the oil and gas reservoir, it is very urgent to develop a self-unblocking plugging agent, which can meet the requirements of efficient plugging in the drilling process and realize efficient self-degradation after drilling, and is the key of the current oil and gas reservoir protection technology.

[0068] IV. Experimental Examples

[0069] Experimental Example 1: Self-degradation properties of the plugging agent

[0070] This experiment involved adding 6% (by mass) of the self-degrading sealing agent from Example 1 (particle size 100 mesh) to 100 parts of clean water and testing its degradation performance at 60°C and 0.1 MPa. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0071] according to Figure 1 The results show that the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 1 can effectively self-degrade at 60°C. In the first two days, the degradation rate is very slow, only 16.8%, during which time it can effectively plug reservoir pores and protect the reservoir. As time progresses, the degradation reaction gradually penetrates deeper into the interior, increasing the contact area and allowing more substances to participate in the degradation reaction. This synergistically accelerates the degradation rate of the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 1, achieving near-complete degradation at 60°C for 20 days, with a self-degradation rate approaching 100%.

[0072] Therefore, in terms of degradation effect, the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 1 of the present invention has a strong degradation ability at 60°C and can achieve complete self-degradation within a certain time range.

[0073] Experimental Example 2: Self-degradation performance of the plugging agent

[0074] This experiment involved adding 6% (by mass) of the self-degrading sealing agent from Example 2 (particle size 100 mesh) to 100 parts of clean water and testing its degradation performance at 90°C and 0.1 MPa. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0075] according to Figure 2 The results show that the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 2 can effectively self-degrade at 90℃. In the first two days, the degradation rate is relatively slow, below 24.6%, during which time it effectively plugs reservoir porosity. As time progresses, its degradation pattern is basically the same as that of the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 1. However, due to the increased temperature, the degradation rate of the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 2 accelerates, reaching 100% degradation rate after 17 days.

[0076] Therefore, in terms of degradation effect, the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 2 of the present invention has a strong self-degradation ability at 90°C and can be basically completely self-degraded within a certain time range.

[0077] Experimental Example 3: Self-degradation properties of the plugging agent

[0078] This experiment involved adding 6% (by mass) of the self-degrading sealing agent from Example 3 (particle size 100 mesh) to 100 parts of clean water. The degradation performance was tested at 120°C and 2.0 MPa. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0079] according to Figure 3 The results show that the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 3 can effectively self-degrade at 120℃. In the first 24 hours, the degradation rate is relatively slow, below 29.2%, during which time it effectively plugs reservoir pores. As time increases, the degradation rate accelerates, reaching over 90% after 4 days and 100% degradation within 7 days. This demonstrates that increased temperature significantly accelerates the degradation rate of the self-degrading plugging agent.

[0080] Therefore, in terms of degradation effect, the self-degrading plugging agent of Example 3 of the present invention has extremely strong self-degradation ability at 120°C and can completely self-degrade in a short time.

[0081] Experiment Example 4: Self-degradation properties of reservoir protection drilling fluid

[0082] This experiment measures the self-degradation properties of the filter cake formed by the reservoir protection drilling fluid in Example 4.

[0083] This experimental example uses the standard GB / T 29170-2012 "Laboratory Testing of Drilling Fluids for Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry" to test the filter cake formed by the reservoir protection drilling fluid in Example 4. The self-degradation of the filter cake was observed in clean water at 90℃ and 0.1 MPa. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0084] according to Figure 4 The results show that the filter cake formed by the reservoir protection drilling fluid in Example 4 can undergo significant self-degradation at 90°C. After 5 days, the filter cake degradation rate can reach more than 99%. This indicates that the filter cake formed by the reservoir protection drilling fluid of the present invention still has excellent self-degradation ability, which can significantly reduce the damage to oil and gas reservoirs and achieve the effect of protecting oil and gas reservoirs.

[0085] Experimental Example 5: Reservoir Protection Performance

[0086] This experiment tests the reservoir protection performance of the drilling fluids used in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0087] The core of the present experimental example adopts the natural sandstone reservoir core of the field oilfield of Sinopec North China Petroleum Engineering Co., Ltd. According to the People's Republic of China Oil and Natural Gas Industry Standard SY / T 6540-2021 “Drilling Fluid Completion Fluid Damage to Oil Reservoir Indoor Evaluation Method”, the reservoir protection drilling fluid YS1-YS3 of Examples 4-6 is tested for the degree of formation pollution damage by dynamic pollution experiment, and is compared with the drilling fluid DS1-3 system prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3, and the results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 5

[0088] Table 1 Comparison of reservoir protection performance of drilling fluids

[0089]

[0090] From the data in Table 1 and Figure 5 It can be seen that: for the field sandstone reservoir, the reservoir protection drilling fluid formed by the self-degrading plugging agent of the present application can effectively plug the core, and the plugging rate can reach 98.17%, and the plugging permeability recovery value after 10 days of backflushing displacement is 98.7% at 10 days. The calcium carbonate plugging in the comparative examples is difficult to unplug, the plugging rate of the self-unplugging plugging agent in Comparative Example 2 is reduced, and the self-unplugging plugging agent in Comparative Example 3 only uses one catalyst and the reaction is not sufficient, and the single catalyst does not have catalytic effect on all chemical reactions in the preparation of the self-unplugging plugging agent, resulting in a decrease in the plugging performance of the plugging agent and a too fast degradation rate, so the catalyst in the present application should be a combined catalyst system; the comparison shows that: the self-degrading plugging agent and the reservoir protection drilling fluid formed by it in the present application can automatically degrade after the drilling is completed, automatically realize backflushing unblocking, maximize the release of oil and gas production capacity, without the need for additional acid washing to remove filter cake and other operation processes, avoiding secondary damage to the oil and gas reservoir, saving operation procedures and time, effectively shortening the completion cycle, and being a simple, efficient, economical and side-effect-free new reservoir protection technology. The degradation of the organic acid formed helps to remove some particulate matter in the formation, which can effectively improve the connectivity between the reservoirs and improve the permeability of the oil and gas reservoir, improve the flowability of the oil and gas in the reservoir, and is a simple, efficient, economical and side-effect-free new reservoir protection technology.​
