Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of petroleum production aids, and specifically relates to a petroleum production aid and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in energy demand and the continuous decrease in crude oil reserves, the development status of low-permeability reservoirs has become increasingly prominent. Low-permeability reservoirs are mostly distributed in strongly heterogeneous carbonate rock fractures and caves, with low permeability and complex pore-throat structures. Therefore, the exploitation is difficult and the recovery rate is low. By changing the wettability of the rock surface, increasing the water-phase permeability, reducing the injection pressure, and increasing the injection volume are the commonly pursued methods for the development of low-permeability reservoirs. Using petroleum production aids in low-permeability reservoirs to improve the wettability of the rock interface, inhibit clay swelling and migration, and thus achieve the purpose of reducing pressure and increasing injection has become the main research direction in the current development work of low-permeability oilfields.

[0109] The preparation method of an oil recovery aid is basically the same as that of Example 11, except that the modified carboxylate surfactant added in step (2) is replaced with sodium N,N-dialkylethylenediaminedibenzoate with the same weight.

[0110] Comparative Example 6

[0111] An oil recovery aid prepared by using the raw materials and method of Example 2 in the publication No. CN117903774A.

[0112] The models of octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether used in the comparative examples and examples of this application are OP-10, produced by Nantong Yongle Chemical Co., Ltd.; the model of lauryl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is AEO-9, produced by Jiangsu Haian Petrochemical Factory; the model of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether is TX-10, produced by Shandong Yuke Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0113] The wetting performance, anti-swelling performance, and core flooding experiment tests were carried out on the petroleum recovery aids prepared in the examples and comparative examples, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0114] Wetting performance (wetting angle) test: The test was carried out according to the contact angle method in SY / T5153-2007 "Determination Method for Wettability of Reservoir Rocks".

[0115] Anti-swelling performance test: According to the regulations in SY / T5971-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method for Clay Stabilizers Used in Oil and Gas Field Fracturing Acidizing and Water Injection", the anti-swelling effect of the surfactant pressure reduction and injection increase system on the cuttings of the reservoir section in the target block was determined. The experimental instrument was a KC-GDP1 high-temperature dynamic linear dilatometer.

[0116] Core flooding experiment:

[0117] Select natural cores with a permeability of 0.15×10 -3 μm 2 After washing the cores with oil, washing with salt, and drying, saturate them with simulated oil (prepared by mixing kerosene and dehydrated crude oil at a mass ratio of 7:1, with a viscosity of 2 mPa·s (70 °C)), place them at 70 °C for 12 h, and then displace the cores with water (viscosity of 0.58 mPa·s (70 °C)) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min. Record the pressure changes during the displacement process until the pressure stabilizes, and record the pressure value P0; continue to inject 0.5 PV of the petroleum recovery aids prepared in the examples and comparative examples into the cores, then close the valves at both ends of the displacement device, place them at 70 °C for 6 h, and continue to displace the cores with water at the same flow rate. Record the pressure changes during the displacement process until the pressure stabilizes, and record the pressure value P1. Calculate the pressure reduction rate of the cores after displacement with the petroleum recovery aids.

[0120]

[0121] It can be seen from Table 1 that the anti-swelling rate of the petroleum recovery aids prepared in this application with carboxylate surfactants added reaches more than 85%, and the pressure reduction rate reaches more than 38%. The anti-swelling rate of the petroleum recovery aids with modified carboxylate surfactants added reaches more than 90%, and the pressure reduction rate reaches more than 42%. This shows that the petroleum recovery aids prepared in this application have good oil recovery efficiency.

[0122] In Example 11 of this application, the contact angle of the oil recovery aid prepared is relatively high, reaching 79.5°. It can be seen that the wettability changes from hydrophilicity to intermediate wettability, which is beneficial to reducing the injection pressure and increasing the water-phase permeability.

[0123] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are comparative examples of oil recovery aids prepared using modified carboxylate surfactants with a number-average molecular weight lower than 9000 and higher than 13000. It can be seen from Table 1 that the pressure reduction rates of the two comparative examples are reduced to less than 38%.

[0124] Comparative Example 3 is a comparative example of an oil recovery aid prepared without using a modified carboxylate surfactant. It can be seen from Table 1 that its pressure reduction rate is only 16.30%, and the pressure reduction effect is not obvious.

[0125] Comparative Example 4 is a comparative example different from Example 11. The difference is that the modified carboxylate surfactant used is replaced with 1-(hexylamino)-2-naphthoic acid prepared in Step S1 of Example 2 with the same weight. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the pressure reduction rate is 20.16%, and the pressure reduction and injection-increasing effect is poor.

[0126] Comparative Example 5 is a comparative example different from Example 11. The difference is that the modified carboxylate surfactant used is replaced with sodium N,N-dialkylethylenediaminedibenzoate with the same weight. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the pressure reduction rate is 32.06%, and the pressure reduction and injection-increasing effect is poor.

[0127] Comparative Example 6 is a pressure reduction and injection-increasing surfactant prepared using the raw materials and methods of Example 1 in Publication No. CN117903774A. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the pressure reduction rate is 36.12%, and the pressure reduction and injection-increasing effect is poor.
