Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield chemical technology, specifically relating to a CO2 chemical reaction thickening polymer for controlling gas channeling in offshore CO2-driven heavy oil, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing global demand for crude oil and the gradual depletion of conventional crude oil, the rational exploitation of heavy oil has become particularly important. Globally, due to the long-term exploitation of conventional crude oil, offshore heavy oil resources account for a larger proportion of total oil reserves, exceeding 70% of the total remaining offshore oil reserves. Because CO2 has good miscibility with crude oil, effectively reducing crude oil viscosity, interfacial tension, volume expansion, and extraction of light hydrocarbons, offshore heavy oil CO2 flooding technology has become key to the efficient development of heavy oil reservoirs. However, compared with offshore heavy oil waterflooding, offshore heavy oil CO2 flooding faces the following challenges: ① Offshore heavy oil reservoirs are mostly loose sandstone reservoirs, characterized by loose rock cementation, high reservoir permeability, and severe heterogeneity. Furthermore, the large difference in the CO2 / heavy oil mobility ratio inevitably leads to cross-flow during CO2 injection, resulting in poor energy replenishment and low sweepability. ② Controlling gas channeling is the key to efficient CO2 oil displacement and storage, and the modifier is the core. However, due to the strong acidity of CO2 dissolved in water and the high injection intensity, conventional modifiers are "unsustainable and cannot control for long".

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop efficient CO2 gas channeling control systems to improve CO2 oil displacement efficiency. CO2-responsive materials, due to their adaptable properties to environmental and spatial variations, have become a hot research topic in the field of gas channeling control. Among them, the most mature research areas include CO2-responsive thickening polymers or surfactants such as amino-based, amidine-based, guanidine-based, and nitrogen-containing azole heterocyclic polymers. These materials utilize the protonation reaction, counterion electrostatic shielding, and self-assembly effect of responsive polymers or surfactants with CO2. The polymer or surfactant aggregation morphology transforms from spherical to worm-like micelles. These worm-like micelles intertwine to form a highly viscoelastic three-dimensional network structure, effectively blocking gas channeling and thus expanding the CO2 sweep volume and improving oil displacement efficiency. However, CO2-sensitive thickening polymers / surfactants mainly block gas channeling through non-covalent physical association, making them susceptible to external factors such as water front intrusion dilution, charge shielding by high-salinity formation water, and residual oil dissolution, leading to system instability and uncontrollable gas channeling. Therefore, it is necessary to transform unstable non-covalent physical association viscosity enhancement into stable chemical covalent viscosity enhancement, that is, to transform from responsive viscosity enhancement into direct chemical reaction viscosity enhancement.

[0004] Therefore, given the unique characteristics of CO2 flooding and storage environments for heavy oil at sea, there is an urgent need for a CO2 reactive thickening and polymerization agent with good stability, high sealing strength, and excellent viscosity-reducing properties to improve the development efficiency of heavy oil reservoirs at sea. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, it is not easily affected by external factors, has good chemical stability, high sealing strength, and can achieve long-term effective sealing.

[0281] Test case

[0282] 1. CO2 reaction thickening performance test

[0283] 0.5 g of the CO2 reactive thickening polymerizers prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were added to 50 mL of water, respectively. After stirring at 10000 r / min for 30 min, different polymer solutions were obtained. Anton Paar MCR 72 rheometer was used to measure the polymers at 25 °C for 10 s. -1 The initial viscosity of each polymer solution was determined at the shear rate. Then, CO2 was introduced into each polymer solution at a flow rate of 100 mL / min for 20 min. After the CO2 introduction was completed, the solution was allowed to stand for 2 h, and then subjected to a 10-second test at 25 °C. -1 The final viscosity of each polymer solution was determined at the shear rate. The test results of the viscosity of different polymer solutions before and after CO2 introduction are shown in Table 4.

[0284] Table 4

[0285]

[0286]

[0287] As can be seen from Table 4, the CO2-reactive thickening polymers prepared in Examples 1-10 showed significant thickening effects after CO2 was introduced. However, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the CO2-reactive thickening polymers showed virtually no thickening effect after CO2 was introduced in the absence of Lewis acid monomers or Lewis base monomers. This indicates that the polymers only react with CO2 when both Lewis acid and base monomers are present, causing cross-linking between polymer chains and thus increasing the viscosity of the solution.

[0288] 2. Blocking performance test

[0289] CO2 gas drive was performed at an injection pressure of 3.5 MPa. After gas channeling stabilized, the gas drive was stopped. Then, the CO2 reactive viscosifier was injected into the simulated core fractures at a rate of 0.5 PV. After the CO2 reactive viscosifier system stabilized, CO2 injection continued, and the gas velocity at the core fractures before and after plugging was measured. The core was then placed at 50℃ for 3 months, and the gas velocity at the core fractures was measured again. The plugging rate was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 5, which presents the CO2 reactive viscosifier gas channeling plugging test results.

[0290] The formula for calculating the blocking rate is: Blocking rate (%) = (Flow velocity before blocking - Flow velocity after blocking) / Flow velocity before blocking × 100%.

[0293]

[0294] As shown in Table 5, the CO2 reactive thickening agent prepared by the method of the present invention, under preferred conditions, exhibits a CO2 gas channeling blocking rate of over 91%. After being placed at 50°C for 3 months, the blocking rate remains essentially unchanged, indicating that the CO2 reactive thickening agent prepared by the method of the present invention possesses excellent gas channeling blocking performance and chemical stability. In contrast, Comparative Examples 1-7, which did not employ the method of the present invention, show a significantly lower blocking rate compared to the examples.

[0295] 3. Heavy oil viscosity reduction performance test

[0296] 0.5g of the CO2 reactive thickening polymerizers prepared in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were added to 50mL of water, respectively. After stirring at 10000r / min for 30min, different polymer solutions were obtained. These solutions were then added to glass reagent bottles along with heavy oil at an oil-to-water ratio of 1:1. The bottles were sealed and aged in a 50℃ constant temperature oven for 3h. After aging, the reagent bottles were inverted four times to mix the oil and water phases and form a homogeneous emulsion. The emulsion was then analyzed using an Anton Paar MCR 72 rheometer at 25℃ for 10s. -1 The viscosity of heavy oil and emulsion was measured at the shear rate, and the viscosity reduction rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 6, which shows the viscosity reduction test results of heavy oil with CO2 reaction thickening agent.

[0297] The viscosity reduction rate is calculated using the following formula: Viscosity reduction rate (%) = (Heavy oil viscosity - Emulsion viscosity) / Heavy oil viscosity × 100%.

[0300]

[0301] As shown in Table 6, the CO2 reactive thickening polymer prepared by the method of the present invention, under preferred conditions, achieves a viscosity reduction rate of over 90% for heavy oil, indicating its excellent viscosity-reducing ability for heavy oil. In contrast, Comparative Example 3, due to the absence of added surfactant monomers, resulted in a product that essentially lacked emulsifying and viscosity-reducing capabilities.

[0302] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
