Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of reservoir protection in oil and gas fields, and particularly relates to a fluorinated imidazolium salt, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Clay is a kind of mineral widely existing in oil and gas reservoir formations, and its types include kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite, chlorite, etc. Due to the high water sensitivity of clay minerals, during oil and gas production operations such as water injection, acidification, and hydraulic fracturing, water-based working fluids entering the formation are likely to cause hydration swelling, dispersion, and migration of clay minerals, resulting in blockage of reservoir pores, reduction of permeability, damage to the formation, and thus a significant decrease in the oil well production, or even shut-in. To inhibit the reduction of oil and gas layer permeability and prevent reservoir damage, while achieving high and stable production in oil and gas fields, clay stabilizers are widely used. Usually, the molecules of clay stabilizers contain positively charged groups, which can adsorb on the surface of clay, prevent water molecules from entering the interlayer of clay, and prevent particle movement through bridging and crosslinking effects, thereby playing a role in protecting clay. Since the last century, researchers in this field have conducted relevant studies on clay stabilizers. Commonly used clay stabilizers include inorganic salts of potassium, sodium, calcium, and ammonium, natural polymers, quaternary ammonium salts, ethylene glycol, and surfactants. Each of the above clay stabilizers has many advantages, but at the same time, there are also some limitations, such as low thermal stability, low salt tolerance, low lubricity and its influence on rheology, and high use concentration.

[0003] How to obtain a multifunctional, environmentally friendly, clay stabilizer with good thermal stability, excellent anti-swelling effect, and capable of reducing surface tension for reservoir protection in oil and gas production to achieve effects such as increasing flowback and eliminating water lock damage is one of the current research hotspots in oil and gas.

[0123] Example 7 Swelling prevention performance test of fluorinated imidazolium salt as a clay stabilizer

[0124] In the present invention, the preparation principle of the fluorinated imidazolium salt is that the halogenated hydrocarbon reacts with methylimidazole, and similar technical effects can be produced when the halogen atom is Br, I or Cl.

[0125] The anti-swelling performance of the fluorinated imidazolium salts prepared in the above Examples 1 to 6 was tested as a clay stabilizer. The fluorinated imidazolium salt samples prepared in Examples 1 to 6 were selected, and the evaluation standard referred to SY / T5971-2016 "Performance Evaluation Method for Clay Stabilizers Used in Oil and Gas Field Fracturing Acidizing and Water Injection". The anti-swelling rate of the fluorinated imidazolium salt was tested by the centrifugation method. The specific operation is as follows:

[0126] S1. Add the clay stabilizer to 100 g of distilled water and shake well to obtain a clay stabilizer solution with a concentration of 125 mmol / L;

[0127] S2. Weigh 0.50 g of sodium bentonite, accurate to 0.01 g, put it into a 10 mL centrifuge tube, then add 10 mL of the clay stabilizer solution, shake well, let it stand at room temperature for 2 h, put it into the centrifuge, and centrifuge at a speed of 1500 r / min for 15 min, and read the volume of the sodium bentonite after swelling; V 1 ;

[0128] S3. Replace the clay stabilizer solution with distilled water, and measure the volume of the sodium bentonite after swelling; V 2 ;

[0129] S4. Replace the clay stabilizer solution with kerosene, and measure the volume of the sodium bentonite after swelling; V 0 ;

[0130] S5. Calculate the anti-swelling rate of the clay stabilizer solution according to the following formula (1):

[0131] Formula (1)

[0132] In the formula: B —The anti-swelling rate of the anti-swelling agent to bentonite (%);

[0133] V 0 —The volume of the bentonite after swelling in kerosene (mL);

[0134] V 1 —The volume of the solution after swelling in the bentonite sample (mL);

[0135] V 2 —The volume of the bentonite after swelling in distilled water (mL).

[0136] Taking the commonly used organic cationic clay stabilizer tetramethylammonium chloride (TMC) in oilfield field as a control, the anti-swelling rate test results of the fluorinated imidazolium salt as a clay stabilizer are shown in Table 1.

[0137] Table 1 Anti-swelling rate test results of clay stabilizers

[0138]

[0139] As can be seen from Table 1, when the use concentration is 125 mmol / L, the fluorinated imidazolium salt Cmim-FC X (X = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8) as a clay stabilizer, its anti-swelling rate is greater than 90%, and the highest of Cmim-FC4 reaches 91.48%; while the anti-swelling rate of the commonly used product TMC in the market is less than 85%. Therefore, the anti-swelling rates of the invented clay stabilizers are all greater than those of similar commercially available products.

[0140] Example 8 Evaluation of the water-washing resistance of the fluorinated imidazolium salt as a clay stabilizer

[0141] Select the fluorinated imidazolium salt samples prepared in Examples 1-6 and the commercially available inorganic salt clay stabilizer TMC, and measure the water-washing resistance of the fluorinated imidazolium salt as a clay stabilizer. The specific operations are as follows:

[0142] S1. Add the clay stabilizer to 100 g of distilled water and shake well to obtain a clay stabilizer solution with a concentration of 125 mmol / L;

[0143] S2. Weigh 0.50 g of sodium bentonite, accurate to 0.01 g, put it into a 10 mL centrifuge tube, then add 10 mL of the clay stabilizer solution, shake well, place it at room temperature for 2 h, put it into a centrifuge, centrifuge at a speed of 1500 r / min for 15 min, take the precipitated part, add 10 mL of distilled water, shake well, let it stand for 2 h, then put it into a centrifuge and centrifuge at a speed of 1500 r / min for 15 min. Repeat the above operation 2 times, read the volume of the swollen sodium bentonite, and the calculation method is the same as formula (1) in Example 7.

[0144] Taking the commonly used organic cationic clay stabilizer TMC in oilfield field as a control, the water-washing resistance test results of the clay stabilizer are shown in Table 2.

[0145] Table 2 Water-washing resistance test results of clay stabilizers

[0146]

[0147] As can be seen from Table 2, the fluorinated imidazolium salt Cmim-FC of the present invention X(X = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8)as a clay stabilizer, the anti-swelling rate after 3 washes with water is greater than 85%, and the highest reaches 91.09%; among them, the clay stabilizers Cmim-FC corresponding to X = 4 and 8 X After 3 washes with water, the decrease in anti-swelling rate < 1%. For the commonly used product TMC in the market, the anti-swelling rate after 3 washes with water is only 73.95% (lower than 80%), and the anti-swelling rate decreases by 10.34% after washing. Therefore, the water resistance of the fluorinated imidazolium salt of the present invention as a clay stabilizer is better than that of similar commercially available products.

[0148] Example 9 Evaluation of the ability of fluorinated imidazolium salt to weaken the surface hydration ability of clay minerals

[0149] For the fluorinated imidazolium salts prepared in Examples 1 - 6, where the anion is Cl - , Br - or I - The corresponding compounds have similar effects. Therefore, the compounds prepared in Examples 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are selected to evaluate the ability of the fluorinated imidazolium salt to weaken the surface hydration ability of clay minerals. The specific operations are as follows:

[0150] S1. Take the fluorinated imidazolium salt Cmim-FC X Add it to 100 g of deionized water, stir well, and prepare a compound solution with a concentration of 125 mmol / L;

[0151] S2. Weigh 1.0 g of sodium bentonite and mix it evenly with 20 mL of the compound solution, and let it stand for 2 h until the compound is fully adsorbed on the montmorillonite surface;

[0152] S3. Use the centrifugation method for solid-liquid separation to obtain the treated montmorillonite; then rinse the surface of the montmorillonite with deionized water to elute the excess compound;

[0153] S4. The treated montmorillonite is dried at 105 °C until it reaches a constant weight; then it is ground fine to 300 - 500 mesh with a mortar;

[0154] S5. Weigh 0.2 g of the montmorillonite treated with the fluorinated imidazolium salt, place it in a constant temperature and humidity environment (25 °C, relative humidity of 100%), and wait for the montmorillonite to fully adsorb water vapor;

[0155] S6. Use a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC823 type) to measure the DSC curve of the moisture-absorbed montmorillonite; the test conditions are: nitrogen atmosphere, temperature rise range 10 - 200 °C, temperature rise rate 10 °C / min;

[0156] Taking the fully moisture-absorbed original montmorillonite as the control group, the DSC curve of the montmorillonite treated with the fluorinated imidazolium salt and moisture-absorbed is as Figure 2 shown.

[0157] From Figure 2 It can be seen that after the original montmorillonite absorbs moisture, there are two obvious peaks at 109 °C and 132 °C, which are the endothermic peaks of the vaporization of free water and bound water vapor on the surface of montmorillonite. After the fluorinated imidazolium salt, the two groups of peaks shift to lower temperatures and the intensity decreases significantly, indicating that the fluorinated imidazolium salt significantly weakens the hydration effect on the surface of montmorillonite. When the fluorinated imidazolium salt acts on the formation, this will be beneficial to weakening the thickness of the water film on the pore surface and increasing the effective pore radius and pore connectivity.

[0158] The present invention has been described according to the above embodiments. It should be understood that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form. Any technical solution obtained by using equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of the present invention.
