Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drilling fluid fluid loss reducers and relates to a novel salt-resistant drilling fluid fluid loss reducer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Drilling fluid loss reducers are a type of chemical additive used to reduce the amount of drilling fluid loss. They play an important role in controlling drilling fluid loss, maintaining wellbore diameter and protecting oil layers. Loss refers to the process in which the liquid part of the drilling fluid penetrates into the formation through the pores of the wellbore rock. Excessive loss will not only lead to a reduction in the volume of the drilling fluid, but also cause problems such as wellbore instability and reduced drilling speed. Therefore, loss reducers play a vital role in the drilling fluid system.
[0003] At present, drilling fluid loss reducers are mainly divided into natural polymer and modified material loss reducers, synthetic polymer loss reducers, and inorganic / organic composite material drilling fluid loss reducers. Among them, natural polymer and modified material loss reducers include starch-based loss reducers, humic acid-based loss reducers, and cellulose-based loss reducers. Natural polymer materials have outstanding advantages in environmental protection, but natural polymer materials have obvious deficiencies in temperature and salt resistance, and it is difficult to meet the actual needs of the site. Inorganic / organic composite material drilling fluid loss reducers mainly include silica / polymer loss reducers and graphene / polymer loss reducers. Although inorganic / organic composite materials can achieve excellent temperature and salt resistance, the preparation cost is relatively high and is not suitable for industrial development. Synthetic polymer fluid loss reducers mainly include linear polymer fluid loss reducers, branched polymer fluid loss reducers and slightly cross-linked polymer fluid loss reducers. Synthetic polymer fluid loss reducers are the most widely used due to their advantages such as good thermal stability of molecular chains, strong controllability of molecular structures, a wide variety of functional monomers and a wide range of sources, and a relatively simple synthesis process.
[0004] However, the current synthetic polymer drilling fluid loss reducers have limited salt resistance. When used in salinity environments, the performance of the fluid loss reducers will be limited. Therefore, the development of synthetic polymer fluid loss reducers with stronger salt resistance is the focus of research. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a novel salt-resistant drilling fluid fluid loss reducer and a preparation method thereof. The fluid loss reducer of the present invention has excellent salt resistance, fluid loss reduction performance and good thermal stability.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve its purpose is as follows:
[0007] A novel salt-resistant drilling fluid fluid loss reducer, wherein the raw materials include, by weight, 15-20 parts of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, 10-14 parts of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 6-8 parts of N-vinyl pyrrolidone, 0.9-1.2 parts of silane coupling agent KH570, 1-3 parts of nano clay, 5-6 parts of polyethylene glycol, 0.5-0.8 parts of hexadecyl methyl ammonium bromide, 20-30 parts of hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.5-1 parts of initiator, 0.3-0.5 parts of cross-linking agent and 60-70 parts of deionized water.
[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone and silane coupling agent KH570 is 5:3.5:2:0.3.
[0009] Preferably, the polyethylene glycol is polyethylene glycol 400 and / or polyethylene glycol 600.
[0010] Preferably, the initiator is ammonium persulfate or azobisisobutyronitrile.
[0011] Preferably, the cross-linking agent is N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide or ethylene glycol dimethacrylate.
[0012] A method for preparing a novel salt-resistant drilling fluid fluid loss reducer comprises the following steps:
[0013] S1. Dissolve hexadecyl methyl ammonium bromide in deionized water, stir until completely dissolved, add nanoclay, and disperse by ultrasonication to obtain a nanoclay dispersion;
[0014] S2. Add polyethylene glycol to deionized water and stir until completely dissolved to obtain a polyethylene glycol solution;
[0015] S3. N,N-dimethylacrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone and silane coupling agent KH570 were mixed in proportion and stirred to obtain a monomer mixture;
[0016] S4. Add the nano-clay dispersion, polyethylene glycol solution and hydroxyethyl cellulose to the monomer mixture, stir evenly, introduce nitrogen under nitrogen protection, add initiator and cross-linking agent, react at 60-70°C, and after the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, dry and crush to obtain a new salt-resistant drilling fluid loss reducer.
[0017] Preferably, the ultrasonic dispersion time is 50-60 min.
[0018] Preferably, the nitrogen is introduced for at least 30 minutes.
[0019] Preferably, during the reaction, the stirring speed is controlled at 200-300 rpm, and the reaction time is 4-6 hours.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] The drilling fluid filtrate reducer of the present invention has good temperature and salt resistance effects. In a freshwater-based system, with a 1% addition amount, the filtrate loss before and after aging is only 2.8-3.3 mL and 7.2-8.8 mL; in a saltwater-based system, with a 2% addition amount, the filtrate loss before and after aging is only 8.2-9.0 mL and 9.5-11.6 mL.
[0022] The present invention uses N,N-dimethylacrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and silane coupling agent KH570 as composite monomers to synthesize a quaternary copolymer. Among them, N,N-dimethylacrylamide has high polymerization activity, a certain hydration effect, and a strong adsorption effect on clay; 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid has a strong hydration effect, which prevents viscosity particles from aggregating. Through the introduction of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, the polymer is endowed with strong anionic properties, which can effectively resist high-valent metal ions (such as Ca 2 +, Mg2+); N-vinyl pyrrolidone strengthens the rigid structure of the polymer and improves its resistance to temperature and salt; silane coupling agent KH570 forms a high-temperature stable silicon-oxygen bond with clay to enhance high-temperature adsorption capacity. At the same time, N,N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid work synergistically to form a dense polymer network, effectively reducing filtration loss.
[0023] The addition of nanoclay enhances the barrier properties of the polymer and further reduces filtration loss. Polyethylene glycol adjusts the hydrophilicity and molecular weight distribution of the polymer and improves the stability of the material. Hexadecyl methyl ammonium bromide is used as a dispersant to ensure that the nanoclay is evenly dispersed in the system to avoid agglomeration.
[0024] The addition of hydroxyethyl cellulose can form hydrogen bonds or coordination bonds with clay particles, thereby being adsorbed on the clay. Through hydration, the hydration film on the surface of the clay particles becomes thicker, which can produce a protective effect. In addition, multiple clay particles will be adsorbed on the same macromolecular chain at the same time to form a grid-like structure, thereby forming a thin and tough mud cake on the well wall, effectively reducing the filtration loss. At the same time, it also has good salt and high temperature resistance and good compatibility. It does not foam when added to the drilling fluid, is environmentally friendly and easy to degrade.
