Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield chemistry, and in particular relates to a self-generated composite acid and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Carbonate resources are large and widely distributed, with great exploration potential. As the exploration depth becomes deeper and deeper, the reservoir temperature becomes higher and higher, most of which exceed 160°C, and even as high as 230°C. However, the previous carbonate reservoir transformation technology is mainly suitable for reservoirs with a well depth of less than 7,000 meters and a temperature below 160°C. Acid technology mainly includes ordinary hydrochloric acid, slow hydrochloric acid, emulsified acid, thickened acid, cross-linked gel acid, surfactant self-steering acid, etc., which have achieved good results in the exploration and development of carbonate reservoirs. The implementation process mostly uses slow acid fracture creation or polymer linear gel fracture creation and a combination of these acids. With the continuous deepening of exploration depth and the continuous increase in temperature, the existing acid technology and process technology are no longer suitable. In high-temperature deep wells, the existing acid system reacts too quickly, the filtration loss increases accordingly, and the acid cannot reach the front end of the fracture; at the same time, the unevenness of reservoir transformation is aggravated, and the difficulty of uniform acid distribution increases significantly. The excessively fast reaction speed causes the acid to enter the high-permeability area, and the low-permeability area cannot be effectively transformed; the higher reservoir temperature causes the previous various slow-rate acids to pose a greater threat to the integrity of the wellbore, and the existing corrosion inhibitors are also difficult to effectively protect the tubing.

[0003] Compared with other acid solutions, autogenous acid has the advantages of being non-acidic or weakly acidic at room temperature, generating acid at a certain temperature, having low corrosion rate, and low acid-rock reaction rate. It is an important way to solve the problem of slow acidification of high-temperature deep wells. Autogenous acid types include autogenous hydrofluoric acid, autogenous hydrochloric acid, autogenous organic acid, and composite autogenous acid. Among them, autogenous hydrofluoric acid refers to an autogenous acid system that produces hydrofluoric acid as the main component after hydrolysis; autogenous hydrochloric acid is the most studied type in the field of autogenous acid. The main acid-generating agent contains chlorinated hydrocarbons and chloride salts, and hydrochloric acid is produced by hydrolysis. For example, polyformaldehyde + chloride salt is the most used autogenous acid system at present; the hydrolysis acid-generating mechanism of autogenous organic acid is the nucleophilic substitution reaction of esters, which generates corresponding organic carboxylic acids and alcohol substances, and has a good slowing effect; composite autogenous acid utilizes the synergistic effect of two or more autogenous acids, such as the autogenous acid system of formaldehyde, ammonium fluoride and organic carboxylate coexisting reported by Qu Qiansheng et al.

[0004] 202110800157.2 discloses a safe, environmentally friendly, high-temperature resistant solid organic acid system for oilfield acidification, which is composed of 80-90% modified organic anhydride, 3-10% hydrolysis catalyst and 5-10% stabilizer, and can be hydrolyzed into organic acid at an experimental temperature of 90°C. 201210169268.9 discloses a self-generated acid system; it is composed of ZX-339 and ZX-368 components, and can produce 19% to 21% hydrochloric acid at a reaction temperature of 70°C to 100°C. 201910285235.2 discloses a self-generated acid for oil and gas field acidification and fracturing, including polyformaldehyde, ammonium chloride, (1-hydroxyhexane-1,1-diyl) diphosphonic acid, citric acid, emulsifier, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, oil, gelling agent, and drainage agent, and the experimental temperature is 120°C.

[0005] However, the acid generation temperature of the above autogenous acid and other conventional autogenous acids is usually lower than 150°C. When the temperature reaches above 150°C, the acid is basically consumed and cannot meet the transformation requirements of high-temperature areas. For the current ultra-deep and ultra-high-temperature wells, there are still certain limitations. Therefore, how to provide an autogenous acid with a high acid generation temperature has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
