Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of molecular membrane oil-displacing agents, and more specifically to a method for preparing a carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent for tertiary oil recovery. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of tertiary oil recovery technology, molecular membrane flooding technology has incomparable characteristics and advantages over traditional chemical flooding: 1. In terms of improving oil recovery, molecular membrane flooding is mainly based on the imbibition mechanism. The imbibition effect of membrane flooding is more conducive to the start-up of residual oil in medium and small pores. Therefore, the molecular membrane flooding efficiency is higher. 2. From the nature of the molecular membrane flooding agent itself, the film-forming process is a self-assembly process that does not add any external force and relies on the equilibrium state of electrostatic interaction between the rock surface and the film-forming molecules. The thermal stability and mechanical stability of the molecular membrane are good; 3. The molecular membrane flooding agent has a low concentration and a high oil recovery effect. It does not require the addition of alkali, surfactants and other chemical reagents, and has little damage to the formation; in addition, the membrane flooding agent has a good anti-swelling effect and bactericidal ability; its surface activity is not high, and it will not produce adverse effects on crude oil emulsification.
[0003] At present, carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent is a kind of high molecular surfactant oil-displacing agent, which is widely used in the oil recovery process. However, carboxylic acid betaine molecular membrane oil-displacing agent is mostly single-length alkyl carbon chain molecular membrane oil-displacing agent, which has relatively simple performance and gradually cannot meet people's use needs. Therefore, the present invention proposes a preparation method of carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent for tertiary oil recovery. Summary of the invention
[0004] 1. Technical issues to be solved In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent for tertiary oil recovery. The carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent in this scheme is a double-long alkyl carbon chain molecular membrane oil-displacing agent. Compared with the existing single-long alkyl carbon chain molecular membrane oil-displacing agent, the chain-chain interaction of the double hydrophobic chains makes the molecules arranged more closely at the interface, and its surface activity is higher than that of the corresponding single alkyl chain surface activity, and the interfacial performance and emulsification ability are better. It can more quickly and effectively reduce the tension of the oil-water interface, so that the originally immiscible oil and water form a stable emulsion, reduce the viscosity of crude oil, so that the oil is quickly expelled, and the oil displacement effect is more significant. In addition, the carboxylic acid betaine type molecular membrane oil-displacing agent in this scheme uses cardanol carboxylate surfactant as an auxiliary agent to assist didodecyl methyl betaine, and combines with polyacrylamide, so that the three can cooperate with each other, work together, and complement each other, which not only effectively increases the swept area, but also effectively reduces the oil-water interfacial tension, so that the oil-displacing agent can achieve better oil displacement effect, strong stability, and good practicality.

[0010] Furthermore, the reaction temperature in the reactor in S2 is in the range of 90° C.-95° C., and the reaction time in the reactor is in the range of 6-8 hours.
[0011] Furthermore, the static separation operation step of the didodecyl methyl betaine product in S2 is as follows: placing the product after the reaction in a separatory funnel, standing it to separate into two layers, removing the aqueous phase of the lower layer, and collecting the material of the upper layer.
[0012] Furthermore, the drying temperature of the vacuum dryer in S2 is 45° C.-50° C., and the drying time of the vacuum dryer is 2-3 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, the stirring and mixing operation steps in S3 are: first add deionized water into the mixer, then add didodecyl methyl betaine, polyacrylamide and surfactant into the mixer in a molar ratio of 5:2:1, stir and mix, the stirring speed is 100-200 rpm, the internal temperature of the mixer is 40°C-50°C, and deionized water is added during the stirring process using a dropping funnel to perform a water replenishment operation.
[0014] Furthermore, during the stirring process of the mixer, the staff is required to observe the dissolution of the materials in the internal mixed liquid in real time, and stop stirring after all the materials are dissolved.
[0015] Furthermore, the surfactant is a cardanol carboxylate surfactant.
