Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemistry, and particularly to a self-cleaning active drag reducer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is the core technology for increasing the reserves and production of unconventional oil and gas. The slickwater fracturing fluid with water-soluble thickeners as the core is the key material for hydraulic fracturing technology. The variable-viscosity emulsion-type polyacrylamide thickener that matches the volume transformation concept is the main body of application. However, due to the influence of polymerization technology and suspension technology, there are still a series of problems. (1) Adsorption damage: In order to obtain good drag reduction and sand-carrying performance, ultra-high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM) is used. Due to the action of hydrogen bonds and the like, the polymer is extremely easy to adsorb with the reservoir, and this adsorption phenomenon will cause the blockage of reservoir pores and channels, thereby affecting the flow of oil and gas and ultimately leading to a decrease in recovery efficiency. (2) Solid residue damage: The solid residues brought by external fluids are easy to block the pore throats, thereby reducing the reservoir permeability. An ideal fracturing fluid system should be able to effectively transport the fracturing proppant while generating less solid residue and maintaining a high reservoir permeability. However, the existing powder emulsion suspension technology uses a large amount of mineral suspension agents, bringing insoluble residues; the inverse emulsion products have problems of oil-water emulsification and forming composite residues with polymers.

[0003] The thickeners reported in the relevant literature in the prior art only solve some problems of salt tolerance, sand-carrying, and adsorption problems of shale reservoirs under low-concentration conditions in the slickwater stage, or unilaterally optimize the polymer molecular structure, and have not yet developed a functional self-cleaning fracturing fluid drag reducer that has low adsorption, low residue, and can promote methane desorption and clean and dredge the formation for different reservoirs at high-concentration solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the functional defects such as adsorption damage and solid residue damage existing in the existing thickeners, the present invention provides a self-cleaning active drag reducer. This drag reducer not only has the function of reducing drag but also has the function of thickening, and can be used as a thickener.

[0005] The self-cleaning active drag reducer provided by the present invention comprises the following components in mass percentage:

[0006] 30-50% of a composite copolymer powder, 1-15% of a desorption promoter, 0.02-0.4% of a main suspension agent, 0.15-0.6% of a suspension activator, and the balance being a water-soluble solvent, with a total of 100%.

[0007] The preparation method of the composite copolymer is as follows:

[0008] (1) Dissolve polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guanidine gum in water to form an initial composite low-molecular-weight polymer aqueous solution, and then add acrylamide, sodium acrylate, a rigid monomer containing a benzene ring, a reinforcing agent, and urea to the aqueous solution to obtain a composite reaction solution.

[0009] The rigid monomer containing a benzene ring is selected from any one of the following six molecular structural formulas:

[0010]

[0011]

[0012] Among them, the R 3 group is -COONa or -SO 3 Na.

[0013] The molar ratio of acrylamide, sodium acrylate, and the rigid monomer containing a benzene ring is 1:(0.05 - 0.4):(0.01 - 0.1). In the composite reaction solution, the total mass fraction of acrylamide, sodium acrylate, and the rigid monomer containing a benzene ring is 15 - 40%.

[0014] In the composite reaction solution, the mass fraction of urea is 1 - 20%; urea has the functions of dissociating the adsorption of polyacrylamide and promoting dissolution.

[0015] The reinforcing agent is N,N-methylenebisacrylamide. In the composite reaction solution, the concentration of the reinforcing agent is 20 - 1000 mg / L, preferably 100 - 500 mg / L, and most preferably 100 - 200 mg / L.

[0016] The initiator is a redox initiator system composed of ammonium cerium nitrate and sodium bisulfite, and the mass ratio of the two is 1:1. Among them, the addition amount of ammonium cerium nitrate in the composite reaction solution is 30 - 200 mg / L, preferably 60 - 150 mg / L, and most preferably 80 - 120 mg / L.

[0017] The molecular weight of the polyvinyl alcohol is 10,000 - 150,000, preferably 20,000 - 120,000, more preferably 30,000 - 100,000, and most preferably 50,000 - 80,000. The degree of alcoholysis is 80 - 85%. In the polymerization system, the mass fraction of polyvinyl alcohol is 0.5 - 6%, preferably 1 - 5%, more preferably 1 - 4%, and most preferably 1.5 - 3%.

[0018] The molecular weight of the carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guanidine gum is 50×10 4 - 200×10 4 and most preferably 100×10 4 - 150×10 4。The mass fraction of carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar gum in the polymerization system is 0.5 - 5%, more preferably 1 - 4%, and most preferably 2 - 3%.

[0019] (2) An initiator is added to the composite reaction solution for polymerization. The polymerization reaction temperature is -5 to 40°C. When the temperature rise in the polymerization reaction system does not exceed 1°C within 30 minutes, the polymerization reaction is considered complete, and a polymer colloid is obtained. The polymerization reaction temperature is preferably 10 - 20°C.

[0020] (3) After taking out the polymer colloid, it is cut, crushed, dried, and sieved to obtain a composite copolymer powder. The molecular weight of the powder is 4 million - 12 million.

[0021] The water-soluble solvent is a mixed solvent composed of polyethylene glycol 200, polypropylene glycol 400, and N-methylpyrrolidone. The mass ratio of polyethylene glycol 200: polypropylene glycol 400: N-methylpyrrolidone is (30 - 84):(15 - 60):(1 - 10). Among them, polyethylene glycol 200 and polypropylene glycol 400 provide a certain viscosity for the suspension system and activate the suspension main agent to achieve suspension stability. N-methylpyrrolidone is a small molecule nitrogen-containing compound, which further reduces the static adsorption amount of polyacrylamide in the reservoir by competitive adsorption and occupation. Conventional oil-based suspension drag reducers have slower dispersion speed of polyacrylamide powder in water due to the oil in the external phase, and the hydration of polyacrylamide powder needs to be promoted by the action of penetrants or co-solvent surfactants. However, the water-soluble solvent of the present invention is quickly miscible with water itself, enabling the composite copolymer powder to be quickly dispersed and dissolved in water.

[0022] The suspension main agent is bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), with a diameter of 30 - 50 nm and a crystallinity of 70 - 90%. The addition amount accounts for 0.05 - 1.0% of the composite copolymer powder, more preferably 0.1 - 0.7%, and most preferably 0.3 - 0.5%. Bacterial nanocellulose is dispersed in the water-soluble solvent and forms a three-dimensional network structure through hydrogen bond self-assembly. At the same time, there is a hydrogen bond interaction between bacterial nanocellulose and the composite copolymer powder. Using bacterial nanocellulose as the suspension main agent makes the suspension system have excellent stability. At the same time, bacterial nanocellulose itself has excellent degradability and no residue content after degradation, improving the cleanliness of the product. Traditional suspension systems mainly use organically modified clay as the main suspension main agent, which has good stability but also brings a large amount of solid residues, causing formation plugging.

[0023] The suspension activator is ethylene glycol or hexamethylphosphoric triamide, and the addition amount is 0.2%-3% of the composite copolymer powder, more preferably 0.5-2%, and most preferably 1-1.5%. The composite copolymer powder can form a hydration film under the action of the suspension activator. On the one hand, the formed hydration film makes it difficult for the composite copolymer powder to settle during the collision process in the suspension system, improving the stability of the suspension system. On the other hand, it realizes the rapid dissolution of the powder in water. Among them, hexamethylphosphoric triamide can further reduce the adsorption damage of polyacrylamide in different reservoirs.

[0024] The desorption promoter is a sulfonate surfactant, preferably sodium α-olefin sulfonate with C10-C12, and the addition amount is 1-15% of the composite copolymer powder, more preferably 3-10%, and most preferably 5-8%. This surfactant can change the surface wettability of the coal reservoir, displace methane adsorbed state through water molecules, and then realize the desorption of methane adsorbed gas.

[0025] The present invention also provides a preparation method of a self-cleaning active drag reducer, and the steps are as follows:

[0026] S1. Prepare a mixed solvent of polyethylene glycol 200, polypropylene glycol 400, and N-methylpyrrolidone;

[0027] S2. Divide the mixed solvent into two parts. Add the desorption promoter to one part of the mixed solvent, stir for 15-20 minutes, then slowly add the suspension activator, stir for 30 minutes to fully mix the suspension activator with the solution, and then add the composite copolymer powder uniformly while stirring. After adding, continue to stir for 1.5-2 hours to obtain a pre-hydrated and activated drag reducer solution;

[0028] S3. Add the suspension main agent to the other part of the mixed solvent and stir evenly to obtain a suspension main agent concentrate;

[0029] S4. Add the suspension main agent concentrate to the drag reducer solution in step S2 and stir for 1 hour to obtain a self-cleaning active drag reducer.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) In the present invention, a rigid monomer is introduced into the polyacrylamide structure to reduce the static adsorption of the drag reducer in different reservoirs through steric hindrance. Polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar gum contain a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the amide groups of polyacrylamide, improving the viscosity-increasing and sand-carrying performance of the product. A small amount of enhancer is added during the preparation of the composite copolymer, which can further strengthen the network structure of polyacrylamide and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar gum. A relatively high content of urea is introduced during the synthesis process. Urea contains N-H bonds and forms competitive adsorption with polyacrylamide on the reservoir, thereby greatly reducing the polymer adsorption amount and forming a low-adsorption and strong sand-carrying composite copolymer powder.

[0032] (2) The present invention provides a functional self-cleaning fracturing fluid drag reducer that has low adsorption, low residue, self-cleaning properties for different reservoir layers, and promotes methane desorption. It can also be used as a thickening agent. On the basis of having variable viscosity and strong sand-carrying capacity, it further enhances the characteristics of low polymer adsorption and low residue. At the same time, it also has the function of promoting the dissociation of adsorbed gas into free gas and dredging and cleaning the formation, ultimately effectively improving the oil and gas recovery rate and stable production capacity.

Then, feed according to the molar ratio of acrylamide monomer, sodium acrylate, and rigid monomer containing benzene ring sulfonic acid group of 1:0.2:0.05. The total mass fraction of the three monomers is 28%. Stir until dissolved, and adjust the pH value of the system to 8 with sodium hydroxide solution. Then, add 10% urea and 200 mg / L N,N-methylenebisacrylamide in sequence, and dissolve fully to obtain a composite reaction solution. Place the composite reaction solution in a 15°C constant temperature water bath. When the temperature reaches 15 ± 1°C, add a redox initiation system composed of ammonium cerium nitrate and sodium bisulfite, and the mass ratio of the two is 1:1, where the addition amount of ammonium cerium nitrate is 100 mg / L of the polymerization system. The polymerization reaction proceeds. When the temperature rise in the reaction system does not exceed 1°C within 30 minutes, it is considered that the polymerization reaction is basically completed. One hour after the polymerization reaction is completed, take out the colloid, cut the colloid into particles with a size of 3 - 5 mm, spread the colloid flat on a 500-mesh sieve, place it in an oven and dry it at a constant temperature of 95°C for 1 - 3 h, and take out and grind it through a grinder and sieve to obtain a low-adsorption salt-tolerant composite polymer powder with a mesh number ≥ 120.
