Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum extraction, and in particular relates to an organic acid salt protective fluid for the annular space of an oil and gas well, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of oil extraction technology, oil and gas well annulus protection fluid, also known as packer fluid, plays a vital role. It is filled between the oil pipe and the oil layer casing and has two main functions: one is corrosion resistance, which can prevent the oil casing and downhole tools (such as packers and downhole safety valves) from corrosion; the other is pressure balance. The packer fluid with a certain density can balance the formation pressure, the oil pipe pressure and the casing pressure, thereby protecting the oil casing and the packer.

[0003] For production wells, the annular protection fluid will not flow without well repair; for non-production wells, it will not flow without production. Therefore, the retention time of the annular protection fluid in the casing is often very long, sometimes even for several years. Under the specific temperature and pressure downhole, the sealing fluid must remain stable for a long time without solid precipitation. When repairing or putting into production, the sealing fluid should not damage the reservoir, and should have a strong ability to protect the oil and gas layer, while maintaining good non-corrosiveness and corrosion resistance.

[0004] In order to balance the formation pressure, tubing pressure and casing pressure, the annular protection fluid needs to have a certain density. At present, the most commonly used weighting agent is formate. In order to prevent corrosion and scaling problems, it is usually necessary to add a variety of chemical additives such as corrosion inhibitors, bactericides, and scale inhibitors. The selection and ratio of these additives are crucial to the overall performance of the annular protection fluid.

[0005] CN1199430A discloses a high water content, low viscosity, oil continuous phase microemulsion and emulsion and their use in cleaning applications, and an excellent high water content, oil continuous phase microemulsion and emulsion for cleaning, containing a certain amount of water, one or more anionic surfactants from carboxylates of selected molecular weights, and one or more organic solvents, so that the composition has low conductivity and low viscosity. The microemulsion contains nitrite, which has strong oxidizing properties. If the amount used is not well controlled, it is easy to aggravate corrosion.

[0006] CN107325803B discloses an annular protection fluid for nitrogen injection wells that can inhibit oxygen corrosion and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well corrosion protection. A nitrogen injection well annular protection fluid system is compounded with a corrosion inhibitor, a bactericide, a pH regulator, a deoxidizer, a density regulator and a scale inhibitor. The annular protection fluid includes the following components by mass percentage: 10-12% imidazoline corrosion inhibitor, 0.5-2.5% isothiazolinone bactericide, 3-5% alkanolamine pH regulator, 6-8% sulfite and oxime compound deoxidizer, 10-20% organic acid salt density regulator, 0.5-1.5% organic phosphonic acid scale inhibitor, and the balance is water. Under necessary conditions, an appropriate amount of anti-swelling agent should also be added. The annular protection fluid provided by the invention can well control the oxygen corrosion problem faced by the annular space of nitrogen injection wells, and at the same time has the advantages of little damage to the reservoir, strong stability, and green environmental protection. However, the addition of sulfite as a deoxidizer in this formula can easily cause the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria, further aggravating bacterial corrosion. Summary of the invention
