TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oilfield water injection development, and particularly relates to a solid surfactant and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The water drive reservoirs of Shengli Oilfield include whole reservoirs, fault blocks and low-permeability reservoirs, which are the cornerstone of stable development of the oilfield. However, there are the following problems in the development of the onshore water drive reservoirs: the development degree of the onshore water drive reservoirs is greatly different, there are many low-efficiency units, the production capacity is low, and the cost is high, the main reasons of which are as follows: firstly, the low-efficiency unit reservoirs have strong heterogeneity, the water sweep volume is small, and the displacement is unbalanced, which leads to low water drive development degree; secondly, the formation pressure maintenance level is low, the water injection pressure is high, which leads to low production and high cost; thirdly, the oil / solid interface of the low-efficiency unit reservoirs has strong action, the adhesion work is large, there is more residual oil in the high water cut stage (>93 %), and it is difficult for the crude oil in the micro-nano pores to be stripped, so the water drive system operates inefficiently. In order to solve the above problems existing in the development of the water drive reservoirs, the currently disclosed technical routes mainly include two categories of pressure reduction and injection increasing system and oil displacement surfactant system.
[0003] The first category: pressure reduction and injection increasing system is mainly divided into two small categories. The first small category is pressure reduction and injection increasing system containing nano silicon dioxide. For example, Chinese patent CN112552893B discloses a kind of molecular film pressure reduction and injection increasing surfactant and its preparation method. A kind of molecular film pressure reduction and injection increasing surfactant, which includes tea saponin modified betaine surfactant 15-25 parts, nano silicon dioxide 35-50 parts, metal oxide powder 25-40 parts. Chinese patent application CN106085401A discloses a kind of pressure reduction and injection increasing agent for low permeability oilfield injection well and its preparation method and application. The pressure reduction and injection increasing agent is prepared from the following components by weight percentage: multifunctional surface treatment agent 2.0%-6.5%, hydrophobic nano silicon dioxide or nano polysilicon 0.75%-3.15%, pH regulator 2%-8%, and the rest is deionized water; the multifunctional surface treatment agent is composed of the following components by weight percentage: nonionic surfactant 30%-80%, anionic surfactant 2-25%, and amphoteric surfactant 10%-50%. The second small category is surfactant pressure reduction and injection increasing system. For example, Chinese patent CN111944506B discloses a kind of pressure reduction and injection increasing active agent and its preparation method. The pressure reduction and injection increasing active agent system is composed of long-chain fatty acid diethanol amide, anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, nano material (at least one of oil-wet modified graphene oxide, montmorillonite, and silicon dioxide), auxiliary agent, and water. Chinese patent CN101538461B discloses a kind of pressure reduction and injection increasing agent for injection well and its preparation method. The pressure reduction and injection increasing agent for injection well is composed of the following components by weight percentage: lauric acid monoethanol amide: 30-42 parts; L-valine benzyl ester p-toluenesulfonate: 2.5-4.5 parts; C8-10 alkyl glucoside: 5.5-7.5 parts; sodium nitrite: 0.5-1.0 parts; vitamin A: 0.5-1 part; fluorocarbon surfactant FN-2: 0.05-0.1 part; methanol: 25-35 parts; water: 15-35 parts.
[0004] The second category is oil displacement surfactant system, such as Chinese invention patent CN106010494B provides a low permeability oil reservoir oil displacement surfactant and its preparation and product. Among them, the method comprises: taking organic solvent as reaction solvent, in the presence of alkaline catalyst, taking non-ionic surfactant and glycidyl ether compound as raw material to carry out reaction, to obtain reaction solution, the reaction solution is hydrolyzed in the presence of pH regulator, and then reacts with metal organic salt under alkaline condition to obtain the low permeability oil reservoir oil displacement surfactant; wherein, the molar ratio of non-ionic surfactant, glycidyl ether compound, metal organic salt, alkaline catalyst and pH regulator is 8:4:4:1:2. Chinese invention patent CN104371689B discloses a kind of ultra-low interfacial tension surfactant complex system and its preparation method, a kind of ultra-low interfacial tension surfactant complex system, by mass percentage, comprising 10%~33% of amphoteric surfactant, 7%~23% of non-ionic surfactant, 1%~4% of anionic surfactant, and the balance is water.
[0005] In summary, the current pressure reduction and injection system, oil displacement surfactant system is mainly nano system, conventional liquid surfactant and its composition, its use method is mainly pumped into well by pump truck or plunger pump, which has the following shortcomings: 1, operation time is long; 2, pump truck or plunger pump equipment is needed, and the operation cost is high.
