Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oilfield chemistry, specifically relating to a high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer and its preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Currently, the temperature of developed crude oil reservoirs is between 50℃ and 85℃, and the salinity is between 5000 and 30000 mg / L, resulting in high crude oil recovery rates and significant economic benefits. However, with continuous crude oil extraction, undeveloped reservoirs face the challenge of higher temperatures (85-120℃) and higher salinity (30000-100000 mg / L). Current oil displacement agents, especially polyacrylamide-based agents, undergo severe hydrolysis under these high-temperature conditions, subsequently forming strong complexes with calcium and magnesium ions at high salinity, even leading to precipitation. The extreme coiling of molecular chains under high salinity conditions also results in significant viscosity loss, negating the high viscoelasticity required of an oil displacement agent. Furthermore, current oil displacement agents also suffer from poor long-term thermal stability under high-temperature conditions, reducing the sweep efficiency of the displacement polymer and thus significantly decreasing crude oil recovery rates. Therefore, their effectiveness in oil displacement under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions is extremely limited. To improve the temperature resistance of polymers, high contents of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) are often introduced to copolymerize with acrylamide (AM). As disclosed in "Synthesis and Properties of Temperature and Salt Resistant Acrylamide Copolymers", current initiators are suitable for copolymerization with low AMPS content, but cannot be used for polymerization with a content of more than 40%, or the products after initiation polymerization are difficult to obtain high viscosity under high temperature and high salt conditions, thus restricting the progress of chemical oil displacement technology.
[0004] Phosphazene compounds, also known as phosphazene bases, are organic compounds containing the p=n group. They are commonly used as basic catalysts in the polymerization of cyclic ester monomers, cyclosiloxanes, isocyanates, epoxides, and acrylates, achieving excellent results. These reactions require stringent anhydrous and oxygen-free polymerization conditions, necessitating strict dehydration of all monomers. This complex process makes them unsuitable for the production of cost-sensitive oil displacement polymers, significantly limiting the application range of phosphazene compounds. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer, its preparation, and its application. The invention describes a method for preparing a water-soluble, high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer by copolymerizing acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in an aqueous solution using a redox system composed of phosphazene compounds and peroxides. The polymer of this invention exhibits high viscosity under high-temperature and high-salt conditions and can be used as an oil displacement agent in high-temperature and high-salt crude oil reservoirs, thereby further improving oil recovery.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer, comprising the following steps:
[0008] A high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer was prepared by copolymerizing acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) using a redox initiation system; wherein the redox initiation system includes a phosphazene compound as a reducing agent and a peroxide as an oxidizing agent.
[0009] Secondly, a high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer is obtained by the above preparation method.
[0010] The structural formula of the high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer is as follows:
[0011]
[0012] In the formula, x and y represent the degree of aggregation.
[0013] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer in oil fields.
[0014] Fourthly, an oil displacement agent for crude oil reservoirs includes the aforementioned high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer.
[0015] One or more of the above technical solutions have the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This invention provides a redox initiation system composed of a phosphazene compound rich in nitrogen-methyl groups and a peroxide. The P=N bond alters the electron configuration of the nitrogen-methyl groups, making it easier for phosphazene molecules to generate free radicals. Furthermore, the presence of multiple nitrogen-methyl groups on a single molecule effectively increases the molecular weight of the polymer, ensuring high viscosity at high temperatures. Simultaneously, it expands the polymer molecule volume, making it less prone to curling under high salinity conditions, thus ensuring the polymer's viscoelasticity and consequently guaranteeing a high oil recovery rate. This initiation system operates under mild reaction conditions; simple deoxygenation in water can effectively initiate the copolymerization of up to 80% AMPS and AM. The polymer exhibits high viscosity and long-term thermal stability under high temperature and high salinity conditions, while the reaction conditions are extremely relaxed, making it perfectly suitable for current industrial production and possessing promising prospects for industrialization.
[0017] (2) The redox initiation system based on phosphazene compounds and peroxides described in this invention can obtain copolymers with an AMPS content of up to 80%. The polymerization system has simple synthesis conditions, low equipment requirements, is suitable for current production conditions, and is easy to industrialize.
[0018] (3) The redox initiation system based on phosphazene compounds and peroxides provided by the present invention exhibits higher viscosity under low concentration and high mineralization conditions compared with traditional initiation systems (such as redox initiation system composed of potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite, and azobisisobutylamidine hydrochloride initiator).
[0019] (4) The copolymer prepared by the present invention exhibits high viscosity under high temperature and high salinity conditions, and its high viscoelasticity can effectively improve the oil recovery rate of the reservoir. In the case of Shengli Oilfield, an 8% increase in recovery rate could increase reserves by more than 56 million tons, demonstrating broad application prospects. Therefore, polymer products prepared using the redox initiation system formed by the phosphazene compound and peroxide described in this invention can drive industrial upgrading in the oilfield chemicals industry, expand the application scope of phosphazene compounds, reduce the stringent conditions required for the reaction, promote the transformation of old and new growth drivers, increase crude oil production, and reduce extraction costs.

[0094] Existing literature (Jin Zhiyuan, Shan Guorong, Pan Pengju. Preparation and temperature and salt resistance properties of AM / AMPS / SSS terpolymers [J]. Journal of Chemical Industry and Engineering, 2023, 74(02): 916-923) discloses that the redox system used is the traditional potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite. A series of samples with different AMPS contents (AM to AMPS mass ratio of 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2, 9:1) were obtained at a polymerization temperature of 40℃ and an initiator mass ratio of KPS:NaHSO3 = 4:1, an initiator concentration of 0.15 wt% of monomer, a monomer concentration of 20 wt%, a solution pH of 7, and a polymerization temperature of 40℃. The shear rate at 40℃ was 6 s⁻¹. -1 Viscosity under the conditions such as Figure 6 As shown.
[0095] Obviously, under the same temperature and shear rate conditions, the viscosity of copolymer 11# prepared in Example 11 at different concentrations of pure aqueous solution is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, copolymer 11# achieved a viscosity of 206 mPa·s at a concentration of 800 mg / L, exceeding the viscosity of less than 150 mPa·s at 2000 mg / L in Comparative Example 1. At 2000 mg / L, it reached 477 mPa·s, demonstrating the significant advantages of the novel initiator. Furthermore, the AMPS content in this example was 50%, while the traditional redox system in Comparative Example 1 could not produce a sample with high viscosity at a high AMPS content.

[0097] Existing literature (Yang H, Zhang J, Jiang H, et al. Study on the rheologicalproperties and salt resistance mechanism of an amphiphilic polymer with twin-tailed group[J]. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2024,700:134748. Page 4 of the text, Figure 5The paper discloses that a P(AM-AMPS) copolymer obtained by copolymerizing AM with AM at a mass content of 24.5% AM using azobisisobutylamidine hydrochloride (AIBA, V-50 initiator) has a viscosity of approximately 20 mPa·s in a solution with a concentration of 2200 mg / L and a mineralization of 98558 mg / L at 25°C.
[0098] The copolymer 11# prepared in Example 11 of this invention has a viscosity of 33.3 mPa·s in a solution with a concentration of 2000 mg / L and a mineralization of 1160048 mg / L at 25°C. Obviously, Example 11 exhibits a higher viscosity than Comparative Example 2 under low concentration and high mineralization conditions.

[0104]
[0105] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the high-temperature and high-salt resistant polymer provided by this invention exhibits very high apparent viscosity at temperatures of 25℃ and 95℃ and a mineralization of 58002 mg / L. Figure 4 It can be seen that this product exhibits excellent high-temperature and high-salt resistance. Among them, under vacuum deoxygenation conditions, copolymer 10# prepared in Example 10 has better apparent viscosity at 25°C and 95°C. Under inert gas protection conditions, Examples 11-13 have better apparent viscosity than under vacuum deoxygenation conditions, with copolymer 11# prepared in Example 11 being the best.
