Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemistry and oil and gas field development engineering, and in particular to a water suppression and anti-channeling temporary plugging system for pressure drive and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] China is rich in low-permeability oil resources, but the reservoir conditions of low-permeability oil reservoirs are complex and difficult to develop. They are characterized by low permeability, high seepage resistance, low production, rapid production decline, and slow energy replenishment.

[0003] In order to improve the production effect of low-permeability reservoirs, water injection and other measures are usually required to supplement the formation energy. However, in the process of water injection development of low-permeability reservoirs, there are generally problems such as high water injection pressure and high under-injection ratio, the contradiction of "no injection and no production" is prominent, effective displacement cannot be established between oil and water wells, the formation energy decreases rapidly, the production capacity decreases rapidly or even stops production.

[0004] In response to the above problems, the oil field combines hydraulic fracturing with water injection to form a pressure-driven water injection technology, which can increase the pore throat radius, increase the percolation distance, and quickly and effectively replenish the formation energy. It is an effective method that is expected to solve the dilemma of injection and production in low-permeability oil reservoirs, low recovery degree, and low oil production rate. For example, Chinese patent application CN 114439437A discloses a method for increasing the recovery rate of low-permeability oil reservoirs by water injection and pressure drive. The method includes the following steps: in the stage of increasing the injection pressure of the water well, determining the injection volume and injection time of the water well; in the stage of water well shut-in pressure diffusion, determining the water well shut-in time; in the stage of reducing the production pressure of the oil well, determining the oil well shut-in production time; in the stage of oil well shut-in pressure recovery, determining the oil well shut-in time; repeating the above steps to carry out multiple rounds of periodic production.

[0005] However, in the development of low-permeability reservoirs by pressure-driven water injection, the following problems exist: (1) fracture redirection is difficult, lateral microcracks are poorly opened, fractures are single, and the pressure-driven sweep coefficient is low, resulting in low oil recovery efficiency; (2) the main fracture is prone to excessive extension, leading to pressure penetration, resulting in penetration of oil and water wells, premature water breakthrough, and oil well shutdown.

[0006] In the face of the above problems, corresponding temporary plugging measures need to be taken to avoid excessive extension of the main cracks during water injection and pressure driving, resulting in single cracks or water channeling.

[0007] There are various types of temporary plugging agents at present. According to their morphology, they can be roughly divided into granular temporary plugging agents, fiber temporary plugging agents, rubber plug temporary plugging agents, etc.; according to the blocking method, they can be divided into water-soluble temporary plugging agents, acid-soluble temporary plugging agents, oil-soluble temporary plugging agents and degradable temporary plugging agents, etc. Among them:

[0008] Oil-soluble temporary plugging agents are generally made of resin, paraffin and other materials. They have a certain pressure-bearing capacity, but are thermoplastic and easily softened at high temperatures. They are usually only suitable for oil wells and are not suitable for water injection and pressure drive operations. Although other types of temporary plugging agents can be used for water injection and pressure drive, their performance in temperature resistance, pressure bearing, solubility, and plugging effect varies, and they need to be further improved in pressure drive applications.

[0009] For example, Chinese patent application CN115850573A discloses a water-soluble granular temporary plugging agent, which is composed of 15% to 20% acrylamide, 1% to 2% methyl acrylate, 0.5% to 1% cross-linking agent, 0.15% to 1.1% initiator, 2% to 5% mutual solvent, 0.02% to 0.03% solvent promoter and the balance of water. The temporary plugging agent requires a particle size of 140-210 meshes. If the particle size is too large, the plugging effect is not good, and if the particle size is too small, the plugging efficiency is low, and the amount and cost of the temporary plugging agent will be increased; it dissolves quickly in water, the dissolution time is 15-20 minutes, the plugging time is short, and it cannot meet the requirements of pressure drive operation.

[0010] Chinese patent application CN115838589A invented a temporary plugging agent of gel particles, which consists of 4% to 10% polyvinyl alcohol, 0.03% to 0.05% aldehyde cross-linking agent, 0.2% to 0.4% potential acid catalyst, and the balance is water. The temporary plugging agent has low plugging strength and a plugging pressure of 6.03MPa. It is suitable for temperatures of 90 to 120°C and a mineralization degree of ≤4×10 4 The pressure bearing capacity of the formation with a pressure drop of mg / L cannot meet the design requirements of the pressure drive process.

[0011] Chinese patent application CN115895617A discloses a fiber temporary plugging agent, which is a water-soluble temporary plugging agent. The temporary plugging agent includes a polyvinyl alcohol fiber matrix and sodium silicate uniformly dispersed in the polyvinyl alcohol fiber matrix; the mass of the sodium silicate is 25-35% of the total mass of the fiber temporary plugging agent. The fiber temporary plugging agent has a good unblocking effect at a high temperature of 140-160°C, and the dissolution time is 20.5-23.8h. Its dissolution conditions and effects are suitable for high-temperature reservoir fracturing, but its breakthrough pressure is 10-18.7MPa, which is difficult to meet the pressure resistance and plugging time requirements of the pressure drive process design.

[0012] Chinese patent application CN109401739A invented a high temperature resistant shielding temporary plugging agent, which is an acid soluble temporary plugging agent. The components include 100 parts by weight of granular material, 5-20 parts by weight of elastic material, 5-20 parts by weight of filling material, 5-15 parts by weight of fiber material, and 1-5 parts by weight of micro-nano material. The temporary plugging agent can withstand temperatures up to 200°C, withstand pressure greater than 10MPa, and has an acid solubility greater than 80% in 15wt% hydrochloric acid. It has good temperature resistance, but its pressure bearing capacity is difficult to meet the pressure drive process design.

[0013] A degradable temporary plugging agent disclosed in Chinese patent application CN115960593A is in the shape of a knot, and is composed of 72-80 parts of a degradable resin, 12-20 parts of a modified polyglycolide, 1-5 parts of a nanoparticle toughening agent, 1-5 parts of a salt toughening agent, and 1-3 parts of a water-blocking agent. Although the temporary plugging agent improves the plugging time to a certain extent, it is mainly suitable for low-temperature reservoirs of 20-60°C, and the outer diameter of the knot is 13-18mm, which is usually suitable for blasthole plugging, and has poor applicability to temporary plugging in pressure-driven fractures in high-temperature reservoirs.

[0014] Chinese patent application CN115820232A discloses a biodegradable temporary plugging agent, the raw materials used are complex, including 60-80% by weight of polyethylene glycol, 15-25% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol, 0.5-2% by weight of zinc stearate, 0.5-2% by weight of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 4-10% by weight of polybutylene succinate, 0.1-0.5% by weight of triacetin, 0.1-0.5% by weight of tributyl citrate, 0.3-0.7% by weight of polyethylene wax, 0.1-0.5% by weight of cationic starch, 0.1-0.3% by weight of sepiolite fiber, 1.0-3.0% by weight of calcium carbonate, 0.5-1.0% by weight of urotropine and 0.5-1.0% by weight of trimethylallyl ammonium chloride. It is suitable for reservoirs at 110-120℃ and can withstand a pressure of more than 50MPa. However, it has many components and is complex to prepare. It dissolves quickly at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, the faster it dissolves. The dissolution time is 7h above 100℃, and the plugging time is short, which cannot meet the design requirements of the pressure-driven process.

[0015] In summary, the existing temporary plugging agents are mainly used for fracturing and acidizing operations, and there are few temporary plugging agents used for pressure driving. Pressure driving operations are very different from fracturing operations and acidizing operations. Not only are the injection pressures high, but the operation cycle is long. Temporary plugging agents used for pressure driving are required to have not only strong pressure bearing capacity, but also long plugging time. Although there are many temporary plugging agent systems at present, it is still difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of high temperature resistance, high salt resistance, strong pressure bearing capacity, and long plugging time. Summary of the invention
