Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemical industry, and in particular to a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the modern oil production process, with the gradual depletion of traditional oil reservoirs, the use of fracturing and dialysis flooding technology has become an important means to improve oil recovery and develop unconventional oil reservoirs. Fracturing and dialysis flooding technology injects high-pressure fluid into the reservoir to promote the expansion of rock cracks and form diversion channels to improve the fluidity of oil and gas, thereby achieving effective exploitation of crude oil in the reservoir. However, traditional water drive and gas drive methods are often difficult to effectively improve oil recovery efficiency, especially in low permeability reservoirs, where there are serious problems such as excessive oil-water interfacial tension, uneven oil-water distribution, and large flow resistance. Therefore, the development of efficient surfactants to improve oil-water interaction, reduce capillary force and improve oil fluidity has become the key to enhancing the effect of fracturing and dialysis flooding.

[0003] Most of the existing surfactants used in fracturing and dialysis oil recovery are based on single functional molecules, and their main function is to reduce the oil-water interfacial tension and stabilize the oil-water emulsion. However, these surfactants have certain limitations in practical applications, such as: poor environmental adaptability: traditional surfactants are prone to failure under high temperature, strong acid or strong alkali conditions, and cannot meet the requirements of complex reservoir environments; weak surface activity: the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of traditional surfactants is not ideal, and they cannot effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, resulting in unsatisfactory oil recovery effects, especially when the reservoir has low porosity and poor permeability, the oil recovery efficiency is difficult to improve; easy to be adsorbed: some surfactants are easily adsorbed by the rock surface in the reservoir, causing them to lose activity after injection, affecting the oil recovery effect, and may cause pollution to the underground environment and oil and gas pipelines.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery and a preparation method thereof, which can achieve the purpose of good oil recovery performance, good stability and easy decomposition without pollution of the surfactant for oil recovery.

[0006] The specific scheme of the present invention is as follows: a method for preparing a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery, comprising the following steps: Step S1, synthesis of Gemini surfactant: Dodecyldimethyl tertiary amine and 1,3-dibromopropane are mixed and reacted, and then a sodium bisulfite aqueous solution is added, the temperature is raised to react, and then the temperature is lowered to obtain a Gemini surfactant containing a sulfonic acid group; Step S2, preparation of modified β-sitosterol: Dissolve β-sitosterol in anhydrous ethanol, heat and stir to dissolve, add KOH, and introduce ethylene oxide, continue heating to react, then add n-hexane, ultrasonically disperse, centrifuge, and freeze-dry to obtain modified β-sitosterol; Step S3, preparation of surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery: The sulfonic acid group-containing Gemini surfactant and modified β-sitosterol are mixed and stirred to prepare a surfactant for fracturing dialysis oil recovery.

[0007] Gemini surfactants have a double-chain amphiphilic head group structure. Compared with traditional single-chain surfactants, they have higher interfacial activity and can significantly reduce the oil-water interfacial tension. The amphiphilic head group structure can enhance stability and adapt to high-mineralization oil reservoirs. In addition, the double-chain structure can reduce the ineffective adsorption of surfactants on the rock surface and improve the utilization rate of surfactants.

[0008] The molecular skeleton of β-sitosterol is composed of a tetracyclic steroid nucleus and a long hydrophobic side chain. It contains a large number of hydrophobic groups and can effectively combine with Gemini surfactants through van der Waals forces to form a synergistic effect and enhance interfacial activity. After β-sitosterol is grafted and modified with ethylene oxide, its hydrophilicity is enhanced, which can effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, thereby improving the wettability and dispersibility of the surfactant at the oil-water interface. At the same time, the rigid steroid nucleus of β-sitosterol can be inserted into the layered structure of crude oil colloid-asphaltene, destroying its π-π stacking effect, which can promote oil desorption and improve the recovery rate of oil reservoirs. β-sitosterol itself has good thermal stability and chemical stability. After modification, β-sitosterol can not only enhance the stability of the surfactant, but also improve its stability in high temperature environment, so that the surfactant can maintain good performance under high temperature conditions and avoid decomposition. As a natural plant sterol, β-sitosterol itself has good biodegradability and is environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

[0009] The introduction of polyoxyethylene chains into modified β-sitosterol improves its hydrophilicity, helps reduce the adsorption of surfactants, prevents surfactants from directly contacting the highly mineralized water phase, and makes it less likely to be adsorbed onto the rock surface in the water phase, thereby reducing damage to oil reservoirs and pipelines.

[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the temperature of the mixed reaction is 60-80°C, and the time is 2-3h; the temperature of the temperature-raising reaction is 90-100°C, the pH is 8-9, and the time is 2-4h; the temperature of the cooling reaction is 70-80°C, and the time is 1-2.5h.

[0011] The sulfonation is carried out in three stages by using a gradient temperature control method, which can reduce the generation of by-products and improve the sulfonation efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, in step S2, the heating temperature is 55-65°C; the heating temperature is continued to be 130-140°C, and the time is 4-5h.

[0013] Preferably, in step S3, a composite synergist is further added for mixing and stirring, wherein the ratio of the sulfonic acid group-containing Gemini surfactant, the modified β-sitosterol and the composite synergist is 6:2:1.

[0014] Preferably, the preparation of the composite synergist includes the following steps: mixing lauric acid and β-sitosterol, introducing nitrogen, adding a catalyst, heating and stirring, adding mesoporous SiO2 for mixing, ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes, and then dispersing in ionic liquid [BMIM] BF6, ultrasonic treatment for 2 hours, and centrifugally drying to obtain the composite synergist.

[0015] Lauric acid is a long-chain fatty acid. Through the esterification reaction with β-sitosterol, it can effectively enhance the lipophilicity of the modified surfactant, making it easier for the final surfactant to interact with the oil phase and form a good adsorption structure at the oil-water interface, which helps to drive and disperse the oil, effectively improve the fluidity of the oil layer, and promote the recovery rate. The long-chain structure and esterification modification of lauric acid help to improve the thermal stability and chemical stability of the surfactant, so that it can still maintain good performance in high temperature and acidic environment, thereby extending the service life of the surfactant used for oil displacement during the oil recovery process.

[0016] Preferably, the catalyst is a SDS-HCL mixed solution, wherein the ratio of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) to HCL (hydrochloric acid) is 1:1.

[0017] Preferably, the temperature of the heating and stirring is 110-130° C., and the time is 2-4 hours.

[0018] Preferably, the pore size of the mesoporous SiO2 is 2-5 nm.

[0019] To achieve the above object, the present invention further provides a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery prepared by the above method for preparing a surfactant for fracturing and dialysis oil recovery, characterized in that it comprises the following components in parts by weight: 6-18 parts Gemini surfactant and 2-6 parts modified β-sitosterol.

[0020] Preferably, the following components in parts by weight are also included: 1-3 parts of compound enhancer; The raw materials of the Gemini surfactant include 12-36 parts of dodecyldimethyl tertiary amine, 6-18 parts of 1,3-dibromopropane and 20-60 parts of sodium bisulfite aqueous solution; The raw materials of the modified β-sitosterol include 1.5-4.5 parts of β-sitosterol and 3-9 parts of ethylene oxide; The raw materials of the composite synergist include 1-3 parts of lauric acid, 2-6 parts of beta-sitosterol, 9-28 parts of ionic liquid [BMIM] BF6 and 0.6-2 parts of mesoporous SiO2.

[0021] The above technical solution of the present invention includes at least the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention introduces modified β-sitosterol. The molecular structure of β-sitosterol contains hydrophobic groups, which can form a synergistic effect with Gemini surfactants to enhance interfacial activity. After being modified by ethylene oxide grafting, its hydrophilicity is enhanced, which can effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, promote oil desorption and improve the recovery rate of oil reservoirs.

[0022] (2) β-sitosterol itself has good thermal and chemical stability. After modification, it can improve the stability of oil displacement surfactants in high temperature environments and avoid decomposition. In addition, as a natural plant sterol, β-sitosterol itself has good biodegradability and is environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

[0023] (3) β-Sitosterol is modified by introducing polyoxyethylene chains to improve its hydrophilicity, which helps to reduce the adsorption of surfactants on rocks and pipelines, making it less likely to be adsorbed on the surface of rocks or pipelines, thereby reducing damage to oil reservoirs and pipelines.
