Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and in particular relates to a multiple emulsion with high-precision gas-sensitive fracturing tracing capability, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] At present, the proven amount of unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale oil and gas, tight oil and gas in China has increased year by year, and the development demand for natural gas, shale gas, etc. is huge. Multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has gradually become a common technical means for the development of such oil fields. The characterization of fracturing cracks is an important link in the process of horizontal well fracturing development. At present, the methods for evaluating the fracturing effect are mostly described and predicted based on geological data, numerical simulation methods, and changes in the concentration of certain ions in the return fluid. Most of them are empirical methods or semi-empirical methods, with poor universality and certain limitations. As a means of evaluating the fracturing effect, the fracturing tracer technology can indirectly obtain and analyze the return flow of the fracturing fluid in each layer during the fracturing process, the production capacity of each reservoir at different times, the liquid production profile in the early stage of production, and the liquid production contribution rate of each layer by monitoring the concentration changes of the tracer in the return fluid of each fracturing layer. At the same time, the effect of fracturing measures can be quickly and effectively evaluated, which makes it play an important role in the development of unconventional oil and gas and has great application potential.
[0003] The types of tracers in fracturing tracer technology mainly include water phase tracers, oil phase tracers and gas phase tracers. However, there are few reports on the evaluation of the fracturing effect of gas phase tracers in unconventional reservoirs. As a good carrier for controlled release, the outermost water phase of W / O / W emulsion not only has good compatibility with the cement slurry system, but also can serve as a protective layer to protect the water phase and oil phase tracers wrapped in the inner phase. Therefore, if a W / O / W emulsion with sensitive response characteristics to hydrocarbon gases in formation reservoirs can be developed, the polymer network will be increased, thereby increasing the tracer release rate to achieve the purpose of transmitting information, realizing the efficient monitoring of the three-phase production of oil, gas and water in the well, and the analysis of the fracture network shape formed by fracturing construction and the oil and gas production layer profile, which is of great significance.

[0071] Performance Test:
[0072] (1) Stability test: The multiple emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 were centrifuged at 4000 r for 5 min. After centrifugation, the stratification heights of the multiple emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 were recorded. The results are shown in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 did not stratify after centrifugation, indicating that the multiple emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 all had good stability and could be placed at room temperature for at least one month.
[0073] (2) Particle size test: The droplet size of the W / O emulsion prepared in Examples 1-11 was tested by light scattering method, and the results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the particle size of the W / O emulsion droplets decreases with the increase of the amount of Span 80 and the increase of the emulsification speed, which proves the adjustability of the emulsion droplets. Emulsion droplets of different particle sizes also play a certain auxiliary role in adjusting the release rate of the tracer.
[0074] Table 1 The stability of the multiple emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 and the test results of the W / O emulsion droplet size.
[0075]
[0076] (3) Gas sensitivity test: 1.0 g of the W / O emulsions prepared in Examples 1-3 above (denoted as M 0 ) is placed in a sealed container, sealed and natural gas is added to the container, and the pressure is maintained for 72 hours, then the pressure is released and the sample is taken out and weighed (recorded as Me). The swelling ratio of the sample in natural gas is Qq = (Me-M 0 ) / M 0 ×100%; see Table 2 for test results.
[0077] Table 2 Test results of swelling ratio of W / O emulsions prepared in Examples 1-3 in natural gas
[0078]
[0079] It can be seen from Table 2 that the W / O emulsions prepared in Examples 1-3 swell after contacting the gas, and the greater the swelling ratio, the better the sensitivity to the gas response.
[0080] (4) Tracer release test: The W / O emulsion (using Examples 1-3 as an example) was demulsified by centrifugation at 10,000 r / min for 10 min. The tracer concentrations in the upper and lower oil phases and the water phase were tested by ICP. This concentration was the maximum adsorption amount C of the tracer. 0The W / O emulsion sample was placed in a sealed container, and natural gas was added to the container after sealing. After the pressure was maintained for a period of time (recorded in hours), the tracer concentration Ce in the upper oil phase and the lower water phase was measured by ICP. Tracer release efficiency = (C 0 -C e ) / C 0 ×100%, the test results are as follows Figure 1 And as shown in Table 3.
[0081] Table 3 Tracer release efficiency test results of W / O emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11
[0082]
[0083] It can be seen from Table 3 that the tracer release efficiency in the water phase and the oil phase of the W / O emulsions prepared in Examples 1-11 can achieve relatively ideal results.
[0084] From the above test results, it can be seen that the emulsion type gas phase fracturing tracer material provided by the present invention has good stability. The outermost water phase not only has good compatibility with the cement slurry system, but also can serve as a protective layer to protect the water phase and oil phase tracers wrapped in the inner phase. The inner layer W / O emulsion has a wide particle size distribution range, and at the same time exhibits excellent and adjustable tracer release efficiency under this wide particle size distribution, which can truly and effectively reflect the downhole situation.
