Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield chemical additives technology, and in particular to a slow-release solid autogenous acid, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale exploitation and consumption of conventional oil and gas reservoirs, unconventional oil and gas resources with low permeability and ultra-low permeability, and high temperature in deep formations, such as tight sandstone gas, coalbed methane, and shale gas, urgently need to be developed and utilized. Acidizing is an important means of increasing production in oil and gas wells and increasing injection in water injection wells. In particular, many tight oil and gas reservoirs have been discovered in recent years. In the early stages of production, the output is very low or even non-existent, and acidizing is required to achieve a certain production value. At present, deep carbonate reservoirs often exhibit high or ultra-high temperature characteristics, which poses a significant challenge to the acid system during acidizing. Specifically, high temperatures accelerate the acid-rock reaction rate, making the effective action distance of the acid fluid increasingly shorter and difficult to achieve deep penetration of the reservoir.
[0003] Currently, existing acid systems still pose significant safety risks in terms of transportation and storage. Furthermore, the acid-rock reaction rate is rapid at high temperatures, leading to severe corrosion of the tubing and hindering the achievement of deep acidification at the far end of the reservoir and uneven etching of fracture walls. This severely restricts the efficient development of high-temperature and ultra-high-temperature carbonate reservoirs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solid autogenous acid that can be slowly released at high temperatures to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a slow-release solid autogenous acid, its preparation method, and its application. When this solid autogenous acid hydrolyzes in water, it simultaneously produces carboxylic acids and surfactants. The surfactants adsorb onto the rock surface, reducing the acid-rock reaction rate between the organic acid and the rock, thereby further enhancing the slow-release capacity of the autogenous acid. It possesses excellent slow-release performance and numerous advantages, including ease of transportation and storage, low corrosiveness to pipelines and equipment, slow acid generation rate, and long effective range.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing a sustained-release solid autogenous acid, the method comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step S1: Dissolve chloroacetic anhydride in ethyl acetate, then add chloroacetic anhydride to the tertiary amine according to the molar ratio n. 氯乙酸酐 :n 叔胺 The tertiary amine is slowly added dropwise at a ratio of 1:2.0 to 2.2 and mixed thoroughly.
[0008] Step S2: Heat the mixed solution from step S1 to the reaction temperature, reflux it thoroughly, and then remove ethyl acetate by rotary evaporation.
[0009] Step S3: Soak the product obtained in step S2 in acetone solution, wash the product, and vacuum dry to constant weight to finally obtain a slow-release solid autogenous acid.
[0010] Further, the tertiary amine includes one of dodecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, hexadecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, octadecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, or eicosyl dimethyl tertiary amine.
[0011] Furthermore, the molar ratio of chloroacetic anhydride to tertiary amine is 1:2.0, 1:2.1, or 1:2.2.

[0020] (3) The slow-release self-generated acid provided by the present invention can generate surfactants in the formation to form an adsorption layer on the rock surface, which can effectively reduce the acid-rock reaction and has a slowing effect.
[0021] (4) The slow-release self-generating acid solution provided by the present invention still has good acid generation ability at ultra-high temperature as an acidification solution, and can be applied to the development of ultra-high temperature reservoirs.
[0022] (5) The slow-release self-generating acid solution provided by the present invention still has good acid generation ability when the salinity of the water is low, and can be used for the development of high salinity reservoirs.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a method for preparing a slow-release solid autogenous acid. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for preparing a sustained-release solid autogenous acid according to the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0029] Step S1: Dissolve chloroacetic anhydride in ethyl acetate, and then slowly add the tertiary amine dropwise according to a certain molar ratio and mix thoroughly.
[0030] In step S1 of the present invention, the tertiary amine includes, but is not limited to, one of dodecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, hexadecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, octadecyl dimethyl tertiary amine or eicosyl dimethyl tertiary amine.
[0031] The molar ratio n of chloroacetic anhydride to tertiary amine 氯乙酸酐 :n 叔胺 The ratio is 1:2.0 to 2.2.
[0032] Preferably, the molar ratio of chloroacetic anhydride to tertiary amine is 1:2.0, 1:2.1, or 1:2.2.
[0033] Step S2: Heat the mixed solution from step S1 to the reaction temperature and reflux it fully to obtain a pale yellow liquid, which is the ethyl acetate solution of the slow-release solid autogenous acid. Remove the ethyl acetate by rotary evaporation at 50°C to obtain a pale yellow viscous liquid.
[0034] In step S2 of the present invention, the reflux reaction conditions include: a reaction temperature of 70-80°C and a reaction time of 12-15 h.
[0035] Step S3: Soak the pale yellow viscous liquid obtained in step S2 in acetone solution for 1 day, wash the product, and vacuum dry to constant weight to finally obtain a slow-release solid autogenous acid for later use.
[0036] In step S3 of the present invention, the vacuum drying conditions include: a temperature of 40-50°C and a time of 8-10 hours.
[0037] The chemical reaction structure for synthesizing sustained-release solid autogenous acids is as follows:
[0038]
[0039] In the formula, R1 = dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, or eicosyl, etc.
[0040] The present invention also discloses a slow-release solid autogenous acid, which is prepared by the above method.
[0041] This invention also discloses an application of a slow-release solid autogenous acid, specifically including the following steps:
[0042] A slow-release autogenous acid solution comprises 5%–30% slow-release solid autogenous acid by mass, with the remainder being deionized water. When the slow-release solid autogenous acid dissolves in water, it undergoes a hydrolysis reaction, generating carboxylic acid and a surfactant. The surfactant, due to adsorption, adheres to the rock surface, forming a protective layer that further reduces the H₂ content. + This increases the rate of acid-rock reaction with the rock, thereby improving the slowing ability of authigenic acid and achieving deep acidification.
