Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a branched ultrahigh salt and ultrahigh temperature resistant polyacrylamide polymer and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of polymer synthesis. Background Art

[0002] Polymer flooding is an economical and effective method to improve crude oil recovery in tertiary oil recovery. Commonly used flooding polymers are mainly partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and its derivatives, which are highly hydrophilic, easy to form hydrogen bonds with water, easily soluble in water, and have a large hydrodynamic volume after hydration, which plays a role in viscosity enhancement. However, in brine with high salinity, divalent cations will neutralize the carboxyl anion effect of polymer molecules, causing the polymer molecules to curl up, and the acrylamide group will hydrolyze at high temperature, reducing the viscosity of the polymer solution. Therefore, it is necessary to add functional monomers to enhance its temperature and salt resistance and seek suitable initiators to increase the molecular weight of the polymer to achieve a higher viscosity enhancement effect. Existing polyacrylamide polymers are mostly linear structures. Under conditions of high salinity and high salinity, this type of polymer shows poor salt resistance, poor dispersion, and poor temperature resistance. It cannot meet the requirements of salinity above 32000mg / L and high temperature above 85℃ for Class III oil reservoirs, and is not suitable for promotion and application.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN118027942A discloses a novel salt-resistant polymer oil-displacing agent and a preparation method thereof. The novel salt-resistant polymer oil-displacing agent is obtained by adding quaternized polysulfone, epoxy nano-silica, coal tar resin, and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid into a stirrer and stirring. During the stirring and mixing process, the epoxy nano-silica reacts with the hydroxyl groups in the quaternized polysulfone and the amino groups in the coal tar resin to generate a ring-opening reaction, and cross-linking is generated between the three, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the oil-displacing agent and providing good temperature and salt resistance. The quaternary ammonium salt polysulfone and the coal tar resin themselves have good salt resistance, but the salt resistance of the oil-displacing agent is still relatively low.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN117720683A discloses a method for preparing a heat-resistant and salt-resistant amphoteric polymer oil-displacing agent, which utilizes its steric effect and electrostatic action to improve the salt resistance and temperature resistance of the polymer, and introduces a new weak cationic monomer VI-L, so that the protonated tertiary amine on the imidazole ring of VI-L and the sulfonic acid group on AMPS interact electrostatically, thereby increasing the viscosity and salt resistance of the polymer. However, the heat and salt resistance still need to be improved.

[0005] In summary, there are almost no reports on ultra-high temperature and ultra-high salt resistant polymer oil displacement agents that can withstand temperatures above 95°C and have a resistance to complex salt mineralization of up to 58002 mg / L. Summary of the invention

[0096] Table 2 Viscosity of CX7#, DX# and commercially available polyacrylamide in mineralized water at different concentrations

[0097]

[0098] As can be seen from Table 2, the viscosity of CX7# in mineralized water is much higher than that of commercially available linear polyacrylamide. Since the sulfonic acid group in the AMPS added in the embodiment is a strong polar group, it has strong hydrophilicity and strong electrostatic repulsion, which can increase the hydrodynamic volume of the polymer and improve salt resistance; at the same time, octamethylpentaethylenehexamine is used as a reducing agent, giving CX7# a branched structure, which can also increase the hydrodynamic volume of the polymer. The increase in hydrodynamic volume leads to an increase in solution viscosity, which makes CX7# have excellent salt resistance, while DX# uses sodium bisulfite as a reducing agent to obtain a linear polymer, and the viscosity of DX# is still less than that of CX7#.

[0099] 2. Temperature resistance test

[0100] CX7# and DX# solutions with a concentration of 2000 mg / L were prepared using 58002 mg / L mineral water, and their apparent viscosities were measured at different temperatures.

[0101] Table 3 Viscosity of CX7# and DX# at different temperatures

[0102]

[0103] It can be seen in the temperature change process that the viscosity of the polymer solution in the mineralized water decreases with the increase of temperature. This phenomenon can be explained from two aspects. On the one hand, with the increase of temperature, the irregular thermal motion of the polymer molecules in the solution intensifies, and the molecular conformation is easier to change, and the entanglement points between the polymer molecules are easier to be opened, resulting in a decrease in the force and entanglement density between the polymer molecules; on the other hand, the increase in temperature makes the polymer molecular chain more likely to curl up, the hydrodynamic radius of the polymer molecules becomes smaller, and the hydration effect is weakened, which further leads to an increase in the distance between molecules and a decrease in the entanglement density. The increase in the distance between molecules and the decrease in the entanglement density at the microscopic level are manifested as an increase in the apparent viscosity at the macroscopic level. Although the viscosity of the copolymer decreases during the heating process, the viscosity retention rate of the CX7# polymer at 95°C is still 56.80%, and the viscosity is 22.52mPa·s, which far exceeds the viscosity requirement for tertiary oil recovery (viscosity greater than 15mPa·s), which is enough to show that the polymer has good temperature resistance.

[0104] 3. Shear resistance test

[0105] Use 58002mg / L mineral water to prepare a CX7# solution with a concentration of 2000mg / L, and change the shear rate at 25℃ to measure its shear resistance.

[0106] The test results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, in the first shearing process, the shear rate is fixed at 7.34s -1, at this time, the solution viscosity is relatively stable. When entering the second shearing stage, the shear rate increases greatly, and the unwinding speed of the molecular chain also accelerates. Therefore, the viscosity of the solution decreases in this stage. After entering the third stage, it returns to 7.34s -1 At the shear rate of 1.5, the solution viscosity recovered rapidly and reached a new equilibrium state very quickly. After two high-speed shearing, the CX7# polymer was able to basically recover to its original viscosity, showing excellent shear recovery performance.

[0107] 4. Viscosity average molecular weight

[0108] According to the technical requirements of polyacrylamide for oil displacement in the enterprise standard Q / SH CG0159-2021 of China Petrochemical Corporation, the intrinsic viscosity of CX7# was measured using an Ubbelohde viscometer. The intrinsic viscosity of CX7# was obtained as shown in the following figure: Figure 5 As shown, its intrinsic viscosity is 2246mL / g, and the viscosity average molecular weight is calculated according to formula (1-1):

[0109]

[0110] The viscosity average molecular weight of the obtained polymer was 17.46 million.

[0111] The various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further explain various possible combinations.
