Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas field exploitation and relates to a self-degradable gel temporary plugging agent and a preparation method and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the oil and gas production process, the use of the wellbore will cause a series of damages, which requires repair to ensure stable production operations in the later stage. However, when using workover fluid to work over a gas well, the pressure difference will cause leakage to varying degrees, which not only hinders the normal workover operation, but also pollutes the formation. Therefore, how to take effective measures to achieve temporary plugging of the wellbore and successfully return the temporary plugging fluid after the workover operation is completed is of great practical significance.

[0003] For shielding temporary plugging technology, the quality of temporary plugging agents determines the degree of development of the technology. Liquid rubber plugs have gradually developed and been widely used in the past 30 years. The so-called liquid rubber plugs are non-Newtonian fluids that are resistant to heat and pressure and have a certain strength. After reaching the designated position, they are injected into the wellbore during the actual operation, and cross-linked to form temporary plugging. The temporary plugging agent is used to temporarily form gel and jelly in the cracks of the original production layer of the wellbore to prevent external liquid from flowing into the reservoir and causing pollution. The well repair operation is completed within the range of the temperature and pressure resistance of the rubber plug. After the operation is completed, the liquid rubber plug is discharged back to the ground by breaking the gel. CN202210446126.6 discloses a degradable temporary plugging agent for offshore large-loss oil and water well repair and a method of use. The formula uses rigid materials such as degradable fibers and degradable gel particles as temporary plugging agents, and uses the bridging effect of materials of different sizes to seal the blasthole. It is mainly suitable for the sealing of wells with large leakage. CN201410828250.4 discloses a low-damage temporary plugging gel for low-pressure gas well repair and a preparation method, and CN202111035970.1 discloses a pressure-bearing degradable plugging agent for well repair and a preparation method. Both are gel systems, but the formula systems are different. The amphoteric metal ions used in the cross-linking agent of CN201410828250.4 and the hypochlorite used in the gel breaker have low pressure strength. CN202111035970.1 has many types and a complex liquid system. CN202110215770.8 discloses a new type of well killing method and well killing fluid for well repair. The patent first uses an oil pipe to inject fracturing fluid, then mixes the well killing fluid and fine sand and injects it, forming a sealable liquid plug of a certain length in the wellbore, and finally adds a gel breaker to backwash and complete the well, which has poor practicality on site. In addition, the temporary plugging agents currently used generally have problems such as short cross-linking time, difficult to control temporary plugging strength and toughness, and incomplete gel breaking and flowback, resulting in poor operating results and secondary pollution of the reservoir. Summary of the invention

The temporary plugging agent is in a liquid state before gelation, has low viscosity, good fluidity, and is easy to pump; when pumped into the wellbore, the temporary plugging agent is cross-linked under the temperature of the target layer section to form an elastic gel with high strength; as time goes by, sodium silicate is used as a degradation aid, and because the degradation aid is weakly alkaline, the water-soluble cross-linking agent begins to degrade under the action of the weakly alkaline degradation aid, and the temporary plugging agent gradually degrades from the previous three-dimensional network structure to a linear structure, resulting in a decrease in the viscosity of the temporary plugging agent, so as to achieve self-return.

[0026] Furthermore, the concentration of the polyacrylamide aqueous solution is 3‰ to 5‰, which can allow the monomers to be fully and effectively cross-linked.

[0027] Furthermore, the temperature of the reservoir section is 50-80° C., which allows the monomers to be fully and effectively cross-linked.

[0055] In various examples, the temporary plugging agent was reacted in a 60° C. water bath to simulate the cross-linking of the temporary plugging agent at the reservoir temperature.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] A degradable temporary plugging agent, the preparation method is as follows: 40g acrylonitrile, 2.5g polyethylene glycol (200) diacrylate, 1.5g ammonium persulfate, and 1g of degradation aid are weighed in sequence. 500mL of temporary plugging agent solution is prepared and placed in a blue-capped bottle; the obtained temporary plugging agent is a liquid aqueous solution, and its viscosity and density are basically the same as those of water, so it is easy to pump;

[0058] The temporary plugging agent solution is reacted in a 60° C. water bath to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The properties of the temporary plugging agent are shown in Table 1.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of the degradation aid added is 3 g, and the temporary plugging agent solution is reacted in a 60° C. water bath to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The properties of the temporary plugging agent are shown in Table 1.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of the degradation aid added is 5 g, and the temporary plugging agent solution is reacted in a 60° C. water bath to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The properties of the temporary plugging agent are shown in Table 1.

[0063] Example 4

[0064] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of the degradation agent added is 7 g, and the temporary plugging agent solution is reacted in a 60° C. water bath to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The properties of the temporary plugging agent are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Example 5

[0066] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of the degradation agent added is 9 g, and the temporary plugging agent solution is reacted in a 60° C. water bath to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The properties of the temporary plugging agent are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Effect of different amounts of degradation aids on the performance of temporary plugging agents

[0068]

[0069] As shown in Table 1, the addition amount of different degradation aids has a great influence on the degradation time of the temporary plugging agent, but has little effect on the gelation time and the final degradation viscosity, both of which gel in about 3 hours. With the increase of the addition amount of degradation aids, the initial degradation time of the temporary plugging agent is gradually shortened, but the strength can be maintained above 8 days. Finally, it is completely degraded at 10 to 14 days, and the viscosity of the temporary plugging agent return fluid after degradation is very low, all lower than 15 mPa·s, which is easy to return.

[0070] Example 6

[0071] A degradable temporary plugging agent, the preparation method is as follows: 35g acrylic acid, 1.5g polyethylene glycol (200) diacrylate, 0.5g ammonium persulfate, 5g sodium silicate are weighed in sequence, added into 454mL tap water, stirred to prepare a temporary plugging agent solution, the temporary plugging agent solution is placed in a 50°C water bath to react, and a gelled temporary plugging agent product is obtained, and the performance of the self-degradable temporary plugging agent is tested. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0072] Example 7

[0073] The difference from Example 6 is that the temporary plugging agent solution is placed in a 60° C. water bath to react and obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The performance test of the temporary plugging agent is shown in Table 2.

[0074] Example 8

[0075] The difference from Example 6 is that the temporary plugging agent solution is placed in a 70° C. water bath to react and obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The performance test of the temporary plugging agent is shown in Table 2.

[0076] Example 9

[0077] The difference from Example 6 is that the temporary plugging agent solution is placed in a water bath at 80° C. to react to obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The performance test of the temporary plugging agent is shown in Table 2.

[0078] Example 10

[0079] The difference from Example 6 is that the temporary plugging agent solution is placed in a 90° C. water bath to react and obtain a gelled temporary plugging agent product. The performance test of the temporary plugging agent is shown in Table 2.

[0080] Table 2 Effect of different temperatures on the performance of self-degradable temporary plugging agent

[0081]

[0082] As shown in Table 2, the gelling time of temporary plugging agents at different temperatures is stable within 3 to 5 hours, and the strength after gelling is maintained for more than 5 days. As the temperature increases, the final degradation time of the temporary plugging agent is shortened, but the final degradation supervision is lower than 15mPa·s, indicating that the performance of the temporary plugging agent remains good at different temperatures.

[0083] Embodiment 11

[0084] A degradable temporary plugging agent is prepared as follows: 45g acrylic acid, 4g polyethylene glycol (200) diacrylate, 2.5g ammonium persulfate, and 3g sodium silicate are weighed in sequence and added into 445.5mL tap water to prepare a temporary plugging agent solution, which is injected into a core with a permeability of 101.6mD at a rate of 0.5mL / min, and then the core holder carrying the core is placed in a 60°C oven to wait for it to gel. After gelation, the pressure bearing performance of the self-degradable gel temporary plugging agent is tested by reverse injection method using gas drive. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that the self-degradable temporary plugging agent can withstand a maximum pressure of about 19 MPa after gelation, indicating that the self-degradable temporary plugging agent developed has good pressure resistance, and the curve has only one breakthrough point, indicating that the gas breaks through by penetrating the gel rather than through the gap between the gel and the inner wall of the core holder, indicating that the temporary plugging agent has a high degree of adhesion to the barrel wall.

[0085] Example 13

[0086] A degradable temporary plugging agent, the preparation method is as follows: 35g acrylic acid, 1.5g polyethylene glycol (200) diacrylate, 0.5g ammonium persulfate, 5g sodium silicate are weighed in sequence, added to 454mL tap water, stirred evenly, and placed in cores with different permeabilities. Before injection, the water permeability of different cores is tested by displacement, and the temporary plugging agent is gelled and degraded in the core and then discharged, and then the water permeability is tested again. The damage rate of the temporary plugging agent to the core is calculated by comparing the permeability of the core before and after temporary plugging. The experimental results are shown in Table 3:

[0087] Table 3 Core damage test before and after temporary plugging under different core conditions

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] It can be seen from Table 3 that the self-degradable gel temporary plugging agent has little damage to the cores at different permeabilities after degradation, all less than 8%, indicating that the prepared gel self-degradable temporary plugging agent can protect the reservoir well on the one hand and reduce pollution to the environment on the other hand during actual operation.

[0091] It can be seen from the above examples that the temporary plugging agent provided by the present invention is in liquid form before gelling, has low viscosity, good fluidity, and is easy to pump; it has good gelling performance and can be self-degraded.

[0092] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
