Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil production, and particularly relates to a sand control agent for heavy oil reservoirs, a sand control treatment fluid system, and a sand control method. Background Art

[0002] During the exploitation of sandstone oil reservoirs, due to the loose structure and poor cementing performance of the loose sandstone oil reservoirs, serious sand production occurs. Loose sandstone oil reservoirs in China are widely distributed, have large reserves, and play an important role in production. However, sand production is extremely harmful. For example, sand burying oil, gas, and water layers leads to production reduction, sand particles rubbing against downhole equipment leads to shortened service life and increased production costs, and a large amount of sand production may lead to the abandonment of oil wells. Therefore, sand control of sand-producing wells is the primary measure to ensure the normal production of oil fields.

[0003] With the continuous deepening of oil field development, the oil reservoirs have entered the high water cut or extra-high water cut period, and sand production from oil wells has become increasingly complex and diversified, seriously affecting the productivity of oil wells. Currently, the main sand control measures include mechanical sand control, chemical sand control, coking sand control, etc. Mechanical sand control methods include various screen pipe sand controls, etc. The method is simple, but it cannot prevent fine silt, mud, and clay substances with smaller particle sizes. Chemical sand control mainly focuses on fracturing sand control, artificial wellbore sand control, chemical sand consolidation, etc., and can be used for the prevention and control of fine silt, but the traditional chemical sand control agents have poor compressive strength performance and unqualified water resistance, and cannot meet the needs of current oil field development.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the sand control problem during the water cut period of oil reservoirs and enhance the sand control effect, it is necessary to develop a sand control agent for heavy oil reservoirs, a sand control treatment fluid system, and a sand control method.

[0121] Test Example 1

[0122] Performance test of sand control agent for heavy oil reservoir

[0123] Mix the sand control agents in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4 above with the curing liquid at a mass ratio of 20:1. The curing liquid is a 5% mass concentration 2-methylimidazole solution. Then, after curing in a water bath at 40°C, the consolidated parts are subjected to the following tests:

[0124] 1. Compressive strength test: Use a compression machine to measure the compressive strength after curing for 12h - 72h;

[0125] 2. Permeability: Take two consolidated specimens cured for 48 h and place them in a core permeability tester. One of them is continuously soaked and rinsed with clear water for 30 d, and the other is continuously soaked and rinsed with kerosene for 30 d. Measure the oil-phase permeability and water-phase permeability of the two consolidated specimens.

[0126] 3. Temperature resistance performance: Test the compressive strength of the consolidated specimens cured for 48 h at 100 - 300 °C to evaluate their high-temperature resistance performance.

[0127] The results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 below.

[0128] Table 1

[0129]

[0130] Table 2

[0131]

[0132] As shown in the table, compared with Comparative Example 3, the compressive strength of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 has increased. It can be seen that adding dimer acid or 4,4-diphenylmethane diamine during the preparation of the polyurethane resin mixture for the outer resin film helps to improve the strength of the sand control agent. And compared with Comparative Examples 1 - 3, the compressive strength of the sand control agents prepared in Examples 1 - 5 is significantly higher than that of the comparative examples, indicating that adding dimer acid and 4,4-diphenylmethane diamine simultaneously during the preparation of the polyurethane resin mixture can further improve the strength of the sand control agent. The compressive strength of Example 6 is higher than that of Example 2. In Example 7, glycidyl ether is replaced, and its compressive strength at 12 h is equivalent to that of Example 6. However, as the curing time prolongs, the compressive strength of Example 7 starts to be lower than that of Example 6 and is equivalent to that of Example 2. It can be seen that adding a specific glycidyl ether during the preparation of the polyurethane resin mixture can further improve the strength of the sand control agent.

[0133] It can also be seen that compared with Comparative Examples 1 - 3, the oil-phase permeability of the sand control agent of the present invention is still greater than 40 μm when continuously passing kerosene for 30 d 2 , and the water-phase permeability is not greater than 20 μm 2 , with good water control effect. This shows that adding dimer acid and 4,4-diphenylmethane diamine to the polyurethane resin mixture helps to improve the water control ability of the sand control agent and make up for the deficiencies of the existing technology.

[0134] It can also be seen that the compressive strengths of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 at high temperatures, especially at 200 °C and 300 °C, are significantly lower than that of Example 2, and the compressive strengths of Examples 4 and 5 at high temperatures are also lower than that of Example 2. It can be seen that when dimer acid and 4,4-diphenylmethane diamine are simultaneously introduced into the outer resin film, there is a certain synergistic effect between the two, which helps to improve the high-temperature resistance of the sand control agent. The compressive strength of Example 6 at high temperatures is higher than that of Example 2, while the compressive strength of Example 7 at high temperatures slightly decreases compared with Example 2. It can be seen that introducing a specific glycidyl ether into the outer resin film in the present invention helps to further improve the high-temperature resistance.

[0135] Test Example 2

[0136] Carrying sand agent performance test

[0137] 1. The following tests were carried out on the sand-carrying fluids in Example 2 and Examples 8 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3:

[0138] Viscosity reduction effect: Referring to the petroleum industry standard SY / T 0520-2008 "Determination of Crude Oil Viscosity - Rotating Viscometer Equilibrium Method", 100 mL of crude oil was kept at a constant temperature of 50 °C for 1 h, and the viscosity of the heavy oil was measured using an NDJ-8S digital display viscometer and recorded as η0; the sand-carrying fluid was added to the crude oil in an amount of 2% and stirred evenly. The viscosity of the crude oil was 2860 mPa·s, and it was kept at a constant temperature in a 50 °C water bath for 2 h, and the viscosity was measured and recorded as η1. Finally, the viscosity reduction rate was calculated according to the formula ν = [(η0 - η1) / η0] × 100%.

[0139] 2. Use an NDJ-8S digital display viscometer to measure the viscosity of the sand-carrying fluid after long-term placement to evaluate its stability.

[0140] The measured results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0141] Table 3

[0142]

[0143] As shown in the table, the viscosity reduction rate of the sand-carrying fluid in Example 2 for heavy oil is 88.2%. A certain amount of polyglycerol-10 stearate and polyglycerol-10 pentastearate are added to the sand-carrying fluid in Example 8, and its viscosity reduction rate increases significantly, and the viscosity reduction effect is improved. The viscosity reduction rates of Examples 9 to 11 are equivalent to that of Example 2, and even slightly decrease. The viscosity reduction rates of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are lower than that of Example 2. It can be seen that adding specific polyglycerol-10 stearate and polyglycerol-10 pentastearate to the sand-carrying fluid in the present invention has a certain synergistic effect with the proppant, which helps to improve the viscosity reduction effect of the sand-carrying fluid.

[0144] It can also be seen that after the sand-carrying fluid in the above Examples 2 and 8 was placed for 72 h, the viscosity remained basically unchanged, indicating good stability. For the sand-carrying fluids in Examples 9 to 11, the viscosity decreased after being placed for 72 h. For the sand-carrying fluids in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the viscosity began to decrease significantly after being placed for 12 h or 24 h. It can be seen therefrom that adding specific polyglycerol-10 stearate and polyglycerol-10 pentastearate to the sand-carrying fluid in the present invention has a certain synergistic effect with the proppant, which helps to improve the stability of the sand-carrying fluid.

[0146] Typical Well Example

[0147] In a sand-producing block of a water well in Shengli Oilfield, the well has cumulatively produced 12 m of sand, the sand production particle size is 0.282 mm, the viscosity of the crude oil is 680 mPa•s at 50 °C, the content of gum and asphaltene is 28.5%, the formation sand production is serious, and the pump is frequently stuck and unable to produce at 1698.0 m due to casing deformation. After construction using the sand control method described in Example 2, the phenomena of fine sand and mud plugging were significantly reduced. Currently, the daily liquid production is 22.6 m, and the daily oil production is 3.4 t.
