Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil-based drilling fluid application technology for deep and ultra-deep well drilling in oil and gas, and particularly relates to a high-temperature stabilizer for high-density oil-based drilling fluid, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for oil and natural gas energy from the national economy, unconventional oil and gas, as well as ultra-deep oil and gas, have become important sources of energy supply for my country. Domestic and international efforts are continuously increasing the exploration and development of deep formation oil and gas reservoirs, leading to a rise in deep and ultra-deep wells. Drilling operations face challenges such as high formation pressure, high downhole temperatures, high water sensitivity and easy collapse in shale formations, and easy creep in salt-gypsum formations. These high-temperature, high-pressure, and easily collapsible formations require high-density drilling fluid systems resistant to high temperatures. While oil-based drilling fluid systems have advantages in terms of high-temperature resistance and inhibition, high-density oil-based drilling fluid systems also suffer from problems such as decreased emulsification performance, poor rheological properties, and sedimentation instability under high-temperature environments, which are urgent issues to be addressed.

[0003] Formulating high-density oil-based drilling fluid systems resistant to high temperatures requires not only high-temperature resistant emulsifiers but also wetting agents. Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate can be used as an auxiliary emulsifier with wetting properties. Chinese Patent CN111057527A discloses a high-density oil-based drilling fluid and its preparation method. The main emulsifier consists of diethylenetriamine, a higher fatty acid ester, maleic polyamide, and polyoxyethylene ether, while the auxiliary emulsifier is sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. This combination of main and auxiliary emulsifiers improves emulsification stability and temperature resistance, resulting in a drilling fluid density of 2.0–2.5 g / cm³. 3 However, the preparation temperature is only 150℃, which cannot fully meet the needs of high-temperature deep wells. Furthermore, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is a monometallic soap with only one hydrocarbon chain in its molecule, making it more hydrophilic and prone to forming O / W type emulsions, but it is not very suitable for use in W / O type oil-based drilling fluid systems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Preferably, the mass of the high-temperature stabilizer for the high-density oil-based drilling fluid is 3% to 5% of the mass of the high-density oil-based drilling fluid;

[0029] The mass of the emulsifier shown in Formula (I) is 4% to 6% of the mass of the high-density oil-based drilling fluid.

[0035] Experimental results show that the density of the high-density oil-based drilling fluid prepared using the high-temperature stabilizer for oil provided in this invention and the emulsifier shown in formula (I) as the key processing agent is 2.0–2.5 g / cm³. 3The high-density oil-based drilling fluid system showed no demulsification or sedimentation after 16 hours of constant temperature rolling at 220℃, and all performance characteristics were good. It also maintained stable performance after 72 hours of constant temperature rolling at 200℃, which may provide a solution to problems such as high-temperature demulsification, poor rheological properties, and barite sedimentation of high-density oil-based drilling fluids in deep and ultra-deep well drilling.

[0182] As shown in Table 1, the high-density oil-based drilling fluid high-temperature stabilizer provided by this invention has the functions of high-temperature resistance, wetting, and thickening. When used in combination with a high-temperature resistant emulsifier, it can formulate a high-density oil-based drilling fluid system with high-temperature resistance at a temperature of 180℃~220℃ and a density of 2.2~2.5g / cm³. 3 Within the specified range, the system maintains excellent emulsification stability, suspension stability, and rheological properties. Even after 72 hours of constant-temperature rolling at 200°C, all properties remain stable, and after 16 hours of rolling at 200°C followed by 24 hours of settling, it can be easily stirred. A comparison of data from Example 12 and Comparative Example 1 shows that the present invention has a good synergistic effect with the high-temperature resistant emulsifier, enabling the high-density oil-based drilling fluid system to have better temperature resistance and emulsification and suspension stability, meeting the needs of high-temperature deep well drilling. A comparison of data from Example 12 and Comparative Example 2 shows that the high-temperature stabilizer containing dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid multi-metal soap salts exhibits significantly better emulsification stability in high-temperature oil-based drilling fluid systems than sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.
