Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas storage technology, specifically relating to a foamed sand-fixing agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Underground salt cavern storage facilities possess unique advantages such as large storage capacity, high storage pressure, high utilization rate, and good economic efficiency. In recent years, they have been widely used in the storage of energy sources such as natural gas, oil, compressed air, hydrogen, and helium, and the scale of application has been increasing year by year. Foreign salt cavern gas storage facilities are generally built in huge salt domes with high salt content, few interlayers, and low insoluble content. Therefore, the insoluble accumulation after the cavity is dissolved in foreign salt cavern gas storage facilities is relatively small, resulting in less storage capacity loss. However, the geological resources for the construction of domestic salt cavern gas storage facilities are mostly layered salt layers (lacustrine sediments), with interlayers of varying proportions (10%-50%). The lithology is mainly mudstone, with some containing anhydrite and glaucophane. The insoluble content in both the salt layers and interlayers is high, reaching as high as 40% in salt layers and over 90% in interlayers. After the cavity is dissolved, a thick layer of accumulated insoluble material remains at the bottom of the cavity, and this accumulation of insoluble material and internal brine occupies a large amount of storage capacity. Statistics show that in areas under construction or planned for construction in China, such as Jintan, Chuzhou, Huai'an, and Pingdingshan, after the creation of salt cavern gas storage wells using the water-soluble method, the volume of insoluble sediment accumulation inside the salt cavern typically accounts for 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the total cavity volume, resulting in nearly half of the cavity volume not being effectively utilized. To address this, companies such as CNPC, National Pipeline Network, and Jintan Salt Industry have conducted research and experiments on utilizing the void space in salt cavern sediment and expanding the gas storage space within the cavity.

[0003] The sediment at the bottom of the salt cavern is mainly formed by the fragmentation, expansion, sedimentation, and accumulation of salt rock and water-insoluble interlayers during the water-soluble cavern formation process. The sediment particles vary in size and shape, with an internal porosity as high as 40%-50%, filled with saturated brine and fine sediment particles. The brine density is 1.22-1.3 g / cm³. 3The concentration is around 27%, typically between 40℃ and 60℃. During exploratory experiments on gas injection and brine drainage expansion in the voids of salt cavern bottom sediment, effectively preventing sediment particles from entering and clogging the drainage tubing is a critical challenge. Lowering the drainage tubing into the sediment at the bottom of the salt cavern and using a foam-based sand-fixing agent to bind and solidify the sand around the tubing, forming a highly permeable, sand-controlling artificial wellbore, is considered a feasible process. Existing foam-based sand-fixing agents are mostly used in oil and water wells. By forming a solidified layer around the production tubing or in near-wellbore reservoir fractures and binding it together, they control the amount of sand produced from the reservoir, demonstrating good sand-fixing and sand-controlling effects. However, the sediment at the bottom of salt cavern gas storage tanks is mainly formed by the settling and accumulation of water-insoluble matter from the salt layer and interlayers after fracturing and expansion. It is loosely packed, with low compaction and low mechanical strength, and a porosity as high as approximately 45%. The interior is filled with brine and small particles of residue. During the secondary brine drainage and expansion process in the sediment's void space, these residue particles easily clog the drainage pipes as the brine flows. Currently, there is no relevant research or report abroad regarding the utilization of the void space in the salt cavern sediment, anti-clogging technology measures for the drainage and expansion pipes within the sediment, and the development of reagents. Domestic research is still in the theoretical research and technological breakthrough stage. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a low-cost, high-performance salt-resistant foam sintering agent that can be used for brine drainage and expansion of the sediment at the bottom of salt cavern gas storage tanks, taking into account the physical properties of the sediment and the application environment of highly saturated brine.

[0077] Performance testing of foamed sand-stabilizing agent:

[0078] (1) Foaming performance test: The foam slurry agents provided in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1 were stirred at 8000 rad / min for 5 min, and the comprehensive foam value of the foam slurry agents was tested. The specific test method for the comprehensive foam value can be found in CN102455350A; the results are as follows. Figure 1 Bar charts of foaming performance of foamed sand-stabilizing agents provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 Figure 2 The bar charts showing the foaming performance of the foamed sand-stabilizing agents provided in Examples 1 and 6-10 are as follows: Figure 1It can be seen that there is an optimal value for the amount of dodecyl dimethylamine acetate added, which is determined by the critical micelle concentration (CMC). When the amount of dodecyl dimethylamine acetate added is 2 parts by weight, the foaming effect of the foaming sand fixation agent is the best.

[0079] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that as the proportion of distilled water in the foam slurry increases, the foaming effect of the foam slurry first improves and then deteriorates. When the ratio of epoxy resin to distilled water is 5:4, the foaming effect of the foam slurry is the best. This is mainly because the higher the proportion of epoxy resin, the higher the viscosity of the base liquid, and the more difficult it is to foam, thus the foaming effect of the foam slurry deteriorates. When the proportion of distilled water in the base liquid increases, on the one hand, the viscosity of the base liquid decreases, which is conducive to foaming; on the other hand, more liquid film can be formed, resulting in an increase in foam volume and a better foaming effect. However, when the proportion of distilled water continues to increase, the viscosity of the liquid film decreases, the foam drainage rate increases, the half-life decreases, the foam stability deteriorates, and the foaming effect deteriorates. In addition, the increase in the proportion of distilled water will lead to a decrease in the resin content in the foam slurry, thereby affecting the slurry strength. Therefore, the proportion of distilled water in the foam slurry has an important impact on the foaming effect.

[0080] (2) Curing test: The foam sand-fixing agents provided in Example 1, Example 11 and Comparative Example 2 were poured into the same container, which contained 100g of a combination of quartz sand with different particle sizes, and the gaps between the combination of quartz sand were filled with saturated brine (concentration 25%, density 1.22g / cm³). 3 The curing process was carried out at 50℃, and the curing results are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 Microscopic images of composite quartz sand bonded and cured using the foam-based sand-fixing agent provided in Example 1 and Figure 4 Another microscopic image of the composite quartz sand bonded and cured using the foam sand-fixing agent provided in Example 1 is shown:

[0081] Table 1

[0082]

[0083] Table 1 shows that when the addition amount of accelerator DMP-30 is 10 parts by weight, the shortest curing time of the foam slurry is 2 days; Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the sand body is uniformly and firmly consolidated using the foam sand-fixing agent provided in Example 1.

[0084] (3) Sand-fixing and sand-prevention performance test: The sand-fixing and sand-prevention performance of the foam sand-fixing agent provided in Example 1 was tested through a simulation experiment. The simulation experiment device is as follows: Figure 5The indoor simulation device for injecting foam curing agent into sediment is shown. The simulation process is as follows: ① A glass sand-filled tube is used to simulate a salt cavern cavity, and an organic glass tube is pre-placed in the center to simulate a brine discharge column; 100g of a combination of quartz sand of different particle sizes is filled into the glass sand-filled tube, and the quartz sand is filled with saturated brine to simulate sediment at the bottom of the cavity; ② The entire simulation device is placed in a water bath constant temperature chamber, and the water bath temperature is controlled at about 50℃. The water bath temperature can be adjusted and controlled in real time according to experimental needs; ③ The foam curing agent provided in Example 1 is injected into the glass sand-filled tube through a syringe, and after 2 days of curing, the foam curing agent is injected into the sediment in the salt cavern to cement and solidify the sediment particles around the brine discharge column; ④ The injection is simulated by pushing the syringe handle downward. The process involves continuously injecting saturated brine from a syringe into a glass sand-filled tube. This drives the saturated brine and small-particle quartz sand within the tube through the cemented and solidified sediment into the brine discharge column and then into a conical flask. The outflow of water and sand from the conical flask is observed. ⑤ When the conical flask is filled with 250 mL of brine, the injection and discharge time and the sand flow are measured and recorded. ⑥ After four measurements, the simulation experiment is stopped. The glass sand-filled tube is opened, and the internal acrylic tube is removed to observe the cementation of the surrounding sand particles. ⑦ Based on the experimental data, including the cementation of the quartz sand around the acrylic tube and the sand flow in the conical flask, the sand-fixing and sand-prevention effects of the foam sand-fixing agent provided by this invention in simulating brine discharge from a salt cavity can be comprehensively analyzed. The simulation results are shown in Table 2 and... Figure 6 The effect of the foam sand-fixing agent provided in Example 1 on the cementation and sand-fixing around the brine discharge pipe column in an indoor simulation is shown:
