[0002] To meet the growing industrial demand, the development of downhole oil and gas resources is gradually moving towards deep and ultra-deep wells. As a crucial aspect of exploration and development, cementing quality directly impacts the exploration results of oil drilling. Under complex working conditions and geological conditions at the bottom of the well, a cement slurry system with excellent comprehensive performance is a key factor for successful high-temperature and high-pressure cementing.

[0069] The cement slurry in this comparative example was prepared in accordance with the People's Republic of China National Standard GB / T 19139-2012 "Test Methods for Cement in Oil Wells".

[0070] Experimental Example 1

[0071] (1) The infrared spectrum of the suspension prepared in Example 1 was tested using an IR-Tracer 100 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and the thermal stability of the suspension prepared in Example 1 was tested using a Swiss-Mettler-TGA / DSC3+ synchronous thermal analyzer.

[0072] Figure 1 The image shows the infrared spectrum of the suspending agent prepared in Example 1. Figure 1 As can be seen from the test results, 3435.4cm -1 The peak at 1620.1 cm⁻¹ represents the NH stretching vibration of the amide group. -1 The peak at 2941.6 cm⁻¹ represents the stretching vibration of the carbonyl group. -1 The peak at 1405.2 cm⁻¹ represents the CH stretching vibration of the methyl group. -1 The peak at 608.3 cm⁻¹ represents the stretching vibration of the sulfonic acid group SO. -1 The stretching vibration peak of CS is 1101.6 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at 3000-3100 cm⁻¹ is the characteristic absorption peak of CN in the quaternary ammonium group of cationic monomer A. -1and 1600~1640cm -1 No characteristic absorption peaks of carbon-carbon double bonds were observed. The above analysis indicates that all monomers participated in the polymerization reaction, and the suspending agent was consistent with the expected product.

[0073] Figure 2 This is a thermal analysis curve of the suspending agent prepared in Example 1. TG represents thermogravimetric analysis, and DTG represents the rate of weight loss per unit time. Figure 2 As can be seen, the thermal decomposition of suspending agent molecules mainly consists of three stages:

[0074] The thermal decomposition of suspension molecules mainly consists of three stages. The first stage is thermal degradation within the temperature range of 201–262℃, with a mass loss of 12.2%. The main reason for this weight loss is the imidization reaction of adjacent amide groups in the suspension molecules at high temperatures, generating imide groups and losing some water molecules. The second stage is thermal degradation within the temperature range of 262–360℃, with a mass loss of 30.8%. The main reason for this weight loss is the extensive decomposition and breakage of side chain groups such as amide and sulfonic acid groups in the suspension molecules. The third stage is thermal degradation within the temperature range of 360–500℃, with a mass loss of 33.8%. The main reason for this weight loss is the initial breakage of the main chain in the suspension molecules. Above 500℃, the thermogravimetric curve tends to stabilize, leaving only a small amount of carbonaceous residue. In summary, the suspension begins to decompose at 262℃, exhibiting high temperature resistance, which can meet the cementing requirements of most deep wells.

[0075] (2) The comprehensive performance of the cement slurry prepared in the examples and comparative examples was investigated. The comprehensive performance test results of the cement slurry at 180℃ are shown in Table 1.

[0076] Table 1. Comprehensive performance test of cement paste at 180℃

[0077]

[0078] According to the experimental data in Table 1, the cement slurry without suspending agent (Comparative Example 4) showed severe settling at high temperatures, with a density difference of up to 0.650 g / cm³. 3 After adding a suspending agent, the stability of the cement slurry in this embodiment is far superior to that of the comparative cement slurry. The density difference between the upper and lower parts of the cement slurry prepared in the embodiment is less than 0.035 g / cm³. 3 The fluidity and water loss of the cement slurry meet the performance requirements under high-temperature environments and construction requirements.

[0079] (3) Figure 3 This is a thickening curve of the cement slurry prepared in Example 2 at 180°C and 115 MPa. Figure 4This is a thickening curve of the cement slurry prepared in Comparative Example 2 at 180℃ and 115MPa. The comparison of the experimental results shows that the initial consistency of the cement slurry prepared in Comparative Example 2 is significantly affected, resulting in a higher initial consistency that decreases sharply with increasing temperature. In contrast, the initial consistency of the cement slurry prepared in Example 2 is less affected, its consistency curve is more stable, there is no core-forming phenomenon, and the decrease in consistency with increasing temperature is smaller, maintaining the stability of the cement slurry at high temperatures. The high-density cement slurry prepared in Example 2 does not significantly thicken at low temperatures and exhibits good settling stability at high temperatures.

[0080] In summary, the high-temperature resistant, high-density cement slurry prepared in this application has low consistency and good fluidity at room temperature; it can maintain good settling stability at high temperature (180℃), with no free liquid and low water loss. At the same time, the thickening curve at high temperature is stable and without core encapsulation, which can meet the requirements of cementing construction and has good application prospects.
