AI Technical Summary
Current technologies for well protection in high-temperature, high-salinity oil reservoirs, such as those found in the Ba Yan oil field, are inadequate as they fail to effectively prevent clay swelling and scaling at temperatures above 120°C and salinity levels exceeding 20×10^4 mg/L, leading to reduced well productivity and potential damage to the reservoir.
A novel well protection system comprising a mixture of low molecular weight quaternary ammonium salts (DETA-FP2 and DETA-FP4) as defoamers, EDTA as a chelating agent, and alkyl polyglycosides (APG) as solubilizers, which forms a stable solution suitable for temperatures up to 150°C and high salinity levels, inhibiting clay swelling and scaling while enhancing fluid flow and reducing mineral deposition.
The system demonstrates a defoaming rate of 93%, a blocking rate of 81.3%, and a washing oil rate of 95.6%, effectively reducing the negative impact of mineral deposits and improving well injectivity by lowering startup pressure by 2.7 MPa, thus addressing the limitations of existing systems in high-temperature, high-salinity environments.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The Xinghua block of Bayan Oilfield is a realistic replacement area for increasing reserves and production in the North China Oilfield. The block is a high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoir with a reservoir temperature of 150°C and a formation water mineralization of 8×10 4 mg / L~22×10 4 mg / L, instability has a strong tendency to self-scaling, crude oil wax content of 19.4%, gelatin content of 27.2%, freezing point of 50℃. The main production layer of this block is the Linhe Formation reservoir, which usually has problems such as strong water sensitivity and extremely strong salt sensitivity. Because the oil field is in the early stage of development, the oil well output fluid cannot meet the water injection demand. In order to supplement the formation energy, other water sources need to be injected into the formation. After the external injected water enters the formation, it is easy to cause reservoir damage.
[0003] At present, the commonly used reservoir protective agents for water injection wells include high-molecular polymer anti-swelling agents, inorganic salt KCl, surfactants, etc. However, these protective agents are difficult to be used at 150℃ and 22×10 4 Used under conditions of mg / L mineralization.
[0004] Patent CN106281288A discloses a pressure-reducing and injection-increasing agent for low-permeability reservoir water injection wells, which uses a fluorocarbon surfactant / alkyl ammonium chloride / fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether compound to form an anti-swelling main agent, ethylenediaminetetramethylene sodium phosphate as a slow-release scale inhibitor, and dimethyl ketoxime as a bactericide. However, the pressure-reducing and injection-increasing agent is not suitable for high-temperature oil reservoirs; Patent CN109913193A discloses a pressure-reducing and injection-increasing agent for low-permeability oil reservoir water injection wells, which uses a dehydrogenated rosin anionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant to form an anti-swelling main agent. Betaine amphoteric surfactants and cetyl alcohol are used as rock wetting agents, which mainly use the surfactant to wet the rock surface and reduce the water injection resistance, but have no inhibitory effect on the scaling of formation fluids. Patent CN111117586A discloses a pressure-reducing and injection-increasing active system with reservoir protection performance and high temperature and salt resistance. It uses cationic surfactant alkyl quaternary ammonium salt to reduce interfacial tension, organic anti-swelling agent polyamine ether to reduce clay hydration expansion, and scale inhibitor to reduce injection water scaling. This pressure-reducing and injection-increasing active system is only suitable for 120°C, 20×10 4 The temperature and salt resistance of injection wells with a concentration of mg / L still need to be improved.

[0050] Example 1
[0051] The anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system GCYFP-C of this embodiment is prepared by the following steps:
[0052] At room temperature, 1.5 g of each of the dimerized quaternary ammonium salt DETA-FP2 and the tetramerized quaternary ammonium salt DETA-FP4 was added to 100 g of water, and after stirring to dissolve, 2 g of EDTA was added, and stirring was continued.

[0054] The experimental temperature was set at 90°C, the bentonite soaking time was 12 hours, and the anti-swelling rate test and evaluation were performed using the centrifugal test method in accordance with SY / T5971-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method of Clay Stabilizer for Fracturing Acidification and Water Injection in Oil and Gas Fields". In addition, three commonly used water injection well protection agents on the market were compared with the anti-salt sensitive reservoir protection system GCYFP-C prepared in Example 1 of the present invention, and the test results were recorded in Table 1 below.
[0055] Table 1 Test data of anti-swelling effect of different types of protection systems
[0056]
[0057] From the test results in Table 1, we can see that the anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in Example 1 of the present invention has a better anti-swelling effect than conventional protective agent systems on the market at 90°C and a concentration range of 1-3%. This shows that the anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in the present invention has excellent anti-swelling properties.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] The anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system GCYFP-C of this embodiment is prepared by the following steps:
[0060] Add 5g of anti-swelling agent DETA-FP2 and 10g of anti-swelling agent DETA-FP4 to 500g of water, stir and dissolve, then add 10g of EDTA, continue stirring and add 1.5g of dodecyl glucoside APG to obtain a light yellow liquid anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system.
[0061] The salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in this embodiment has a pH value of 6 and a density of 1.12 g / cm 3 , miscible with water without precipitation, viscosity 1.2mPa·s.
[0062] The anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in Example 2 was subjected to the following performance tests.
[0063] Test-Anti-scouring performance evaluation test
[0064] The test refers to the static evaluation method of Q / SH 0053-2010 "Technical Requirements for Clay Stabilizers" and designs a dynamic anti-scour evaluation method for the reservoir protection system: pour formation water (mineralization 190,000 mg / L), 2% GCYFP-C solution prepared with clean water, and clean water (mineralization 700 mg / L) into the parallel intermediate containers ①, ②, and ③ respectively. The constant flow pump is set at a flow rate of 0.2 ml / min and the core holder temperature is 90°C. The reservoir protection system and clean water are injected alternately to observe the changes in core permeability. The results are as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0065] Test results: Reference Figure 1 The core permeability curve of the core with different displacement media shows that after the injection of 2% GCYFP-C plug, the core permeability decreased by 30% when the volume of the first clean water flushing was about 20 times the volume of the reservoir protection system; the core permeability decreased by 30% when the volume of the second clean water flushing was about 8 times the volume of the reservoir protection system. Therefore, the inventor believes that the salt-sensitive reservoir protection system GCYFP-C prepared by the present invention exhibits good anti-scouring performance.
[0066] Test 2: Scale inhibition performance evaluation test
[0067] Referring to the performance evaluation method of slow-release scale inhibitors for oil fields in Q / SY17126-2019, the scale inhibition rate of the anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in Example 2 was tested. 2+ Concentration 21870mg / L, HCO3 - The concentration is 172.4 mg / L and the free CO2 concentration is 12.4 mg / L. It is a CaCl2 water type and has a strong CaCO3 scaling tendency. The scale inhibition effect of the oilfield slow-release scale inhibitor HZ-3 is compared, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0068] Table 2 Test data of scale inhibition effect of different types of protective agent systems
[0069]
[0070] Test results: It can be seen from Table 2 that as the temperature increases, the scale inhibition performance of the agent decreases, but the developed reservoir protection system GCYFP-C has a scale inhibition performance of 84.5% at a high temperature of 120°C, which is better than the commonly used slow-release scale inhibitor HZ-3.
[0071] Test 3 Washing oil performance evaluation test
[0072] Referring to the evaluation method of surfactant oil washing performance in Q / SY17583-2018, the oil washing rate of the anti-salt sensitive reservoir protection system prepared in Example 2 was tested. Crude oil from a certain block was taken, with a wax content of 19.4%, a gelatin content of 27.2%, and a freezing point of 50°C. The experimental temperature was 40°C, and the oil washing rates of GCYFP-C at different concentrations were tested. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0073] Table 3 Antiscaling effect test data of different types of protective agent systems
[0074]
[0075] Test results: It can be seen from Table 3 that the developed reservoir protection system GCYFP-C has excellent oil washing performance in the concentration range of 0.3% to 0.6%, and can effectively reduce the cold damage caused by the entry of foreign low-temperature liquid into the reservoir during water injection.
[0076] Test 4: Water injection effect test
[0077] The anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system GCYFP-C prepared in Example 2 was applied to a salt-sensitive reservoir mine, with a reservoir temperature of 150°C, a mineralization of 220,000 mg / L, and a critical salinity of 50,000 mg / L. The water injection effect of the reservoir protection system GCYFP-C was tested. Specifically, a clean water test was carried out in a water injection well, and 1,100 cubic meters of 2% reservoir protection system solution was injected in the pre-stage displacement stage, followed by 6,000 cubic meters of clean water. The test results are as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0078] Test results: Reference Figure 2 The test injection water absorption indication curve shown in the figure shows that: by injecting the reservoir protection system in the stage of increasing displacement, the apparent water absorption index measured in the stage of decreasing displacement significantly increases, the formation water injection start-up pressure decreases by 2.7MPa, and the injection pressure is stable in the later stage of the test injection, and the test is successful. It can be shown that the anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system prepared by the present invention has achieved a good effect of reducing pressure and increasing injection in mine construction.
[0079] In summary, the anti-salt-sensitive reservoir protection system of the present invention has excellent comprehensive performance, with an anti-swelling rate of up to 93%, a scale inhibition rate of not less than 81.3%, and an oil washing rate of 95.6%. During on-site trial injection application, after adding 2% of the agent in the pre-water injection stage, the apparent water absorption index of clean water injected into the formation was significantly increased, and the formation water injection start-up pressure was reduced by 2.7MPa.
