Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant heavy oil viscosity-reducing and oil displacement agent and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Improving oil recovery rates in old oilfields through new methods and technologies is a crucial means of increasing oil and gas production and ensuring national energy security. Chemical flooding, a primary method of enhanced oil recovery, has made significant contributions to the stable production and increased output of oilfields in my country over the past 30 years. For example, chemical flooding in Daqing Oilfield has resulted in a cumulative oil production of 260 million tons, while chemical flooding in Shengli Oilfield has resulted in a cumulative increase in crude oil production of 34.58 million tons. Currently, chemical flooding technology has achieved full coverage of Class I and II reservoirs, but there is a lack of highly efficient displacement agents for Class III and IV high-temperature, high-salinity heavy oil reservoirs. This is because displacement agents used in Class I and II reservoirs undergo structural changes under high-temperature and high-salinity environments, significantly reducing their displacement performance. Therefore, developing temperature- and salt-resistant viscosity-reducing displacement agents for heavy oil is of great significance for improving oil recovery rates in Class III and IV heavy oil reservoirs.

[0003] High-temperature, high-salinity heavy oil reservoirs contain a high proportion of gum and asphaltenes in their crude oil, resulting in high viscosity and a large oil-water mobility ratio, making them prone to waterflooding. To effectively suppress waterflooding, the most common method is to reduce the crude oil viscosity using viscosity reducers to lower the mobility ratio. Viscosity reducers include water-soluble and oil-soluble types. Water-soluble viscosity reducers have advantages such as low cost and wide applicability, making them the main research focus for heavy oil viscosity reducers.

[0004] CN20181104172.6 discloses a water-soluble viscosity reducer for heavy oil composed of humic acid condensate and N-dialkylN'N-dialkyldimethylpyridinium salt. This type of viscosity reducer possesses good interfacial participation ability and viscosity-reducing effect. Through strong penetration and dispersion, it enters between the lamellar molecules of gum and asphaltenes, partially breaking down the planar overlapping aggregates and forming a randomly stacked, loosely structured aggregate of gum, asphaltenes, and viscosity reducer molecules, thereby reducing the viscosity of heavy oil. This invention's heavy oil viscosity reducer is applicable in the temperature range of 40–80℃, but in reality, the temperature of most high-temperature, high-salinity oil reservoirs exceeds 85℃, thus limiting the applicable reservoir range. Furthermore, this invention uses quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactants, which are severely adsorbed in the reservoir, causing chromatographic separation and affecting oil displacement performance.

[0005] CN20111044108.8 discloses a fluorinated amphiphilic polymer crude oil viscosity reducer. It is prepared by dissolving a water-soluble monomer and a perfluoroalkyl acrylate monomer in water to obtain an aqueous solution, followed by the addition of cyclohexane, an emulsifier, and an initiator, and stirring to obtain a water-in-oil emulsion. The water-in-oil emulsion is then adjusted to alkaline pH and subjected to reverse emulsion polymerization to obtain the final product. Viscosity reduction experiments show that this agent has good emulsifying effects on heavy oil, with a viscosity reduction rate ≥90%. However, the heavy oil viscosity reducer prepared by this invention is a compound product, and its adsorption during well displacement can cause chromatographic separation problems, affecting the oil displacement effect. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the problem of poor reservoir environmental adaptability of viscosity reducers encountered in current heavy oil extraction by providing a temperature- and salt-resistant viscosity reducer and its preparation method. This viscosity reducer has the advantages of simple synthesis process, low dosage, and good effect.

[0007] Therefore, in order to achieve the above objectives, on the one hand, the present invention discloses a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant heavy oil viscosity-reducing displacement agent, the molecular structural formula of which is as follows:

[0008]

[0009] Where: m = 2 - 50;

[0010] n = 5 - 100.

[0011] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned temperature-resistant and salt-resistant heavy oil viscosity-reducing and displacement agent, the preparation method comprising: 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone reacting with ammonium formate in a first solvent at 80-90°C in a Leuckart-Wallach reaction; and then, under the action of a catalyst, in a second solvent, in an oxygen-isolated environment, and under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the reaction product undergoing an etherification reaction with ethylene oxide.

[0012] The third objective of this invention is to disclose the application of the above-mentioned temperature-resistant and salt-resistant heavy oil viscosity-reducing and oil displacement agent in the development of heavy oil reservoirs.

[0013] This invention relates to a temperature- and salt-resistant heavy oil viscosity reducer and displacement agent, which is a special fluorinated composite surfactant. Two polyether groups are nonionic hydrophilic groups, and two fluorophenyl groups are lipophilic groups. The structure of this invention does not contain anionic hydrophilic groups, thus exhibiting good salt resistance. To address the poor temperature resistance of the polyether groups, highly polar fluorophenyl groups are introduced to reduce the precipitation of polyethers caused by hydrogen bonding at high temperatures, significantly improving the temperature resistance of the molecule. This invention has higher surface / interfacial activity and a lower critical micelle concentration than conventional heavy oil viscosity reducers, thus requiring a lower dosage. The fluorophenyl groups have good lipophilic properties and can spontaneously insert into the aggregated structure of gums and asphaltenes in crude oil, disrupting the π-π conjugation of gums and asphaltenes, weakening their aggregation force, and easily combining with large aromatic ring compounds in crude oil. This allows for easier stripping of gums and asphaltenes adsorbed at the oil-water interface of W / O type heavy oil emulsions, converting the W / O emulsion into an O / W emulsion, thereby significantly reducing the viscosity of the emulsion. Polyether groups have strong hydrophilicity, and the external phase can easily form a continuous water film. Moreover, polyether groups have good flexibility and can easily entangle with crude oil, thus enabling the entire oil-water system to form a stable O / W emulsion under low dynamic conditions, which greatly improves the crude oil permeability and enhances the water drive efficiency of heavy oil.

In contrast, the surface tension of the comparative petroleum sulfonate is 29.4 mN / m, significantly higher than that of this invention. Furthermore, the interfacial tension of the oil displacement agents B1-B7 of this invention is all less than 6.5 × 10⁻⁶ mN / m. -2 mN / m, with B5 reaching a minimum of 2.5×10 mN / m. -2 The surface tension of the comparative petroleum sulfonate was 8.69 × 10 mN / m. -2 The mN / m ratio is significantly higher than that of this invention.

In contrast, the viscosity reduction rate of the comparative petroleum sulfonates is 69.8%, which is significantly lower than that of the present invention.

[0093] Example 10: Contact Angle Test

[0094] The viscosity-reducing and oil displacement agent B5 of this invention was prepared into a 500 mg / L solution with petroleum sulfonate from Shengli Chemical Plant. A hydrophobic core model was placed in the above solution in a sealed container and placed in a 90°C oven for 12 hours. The core model was then removed, dried in a 100°C oven for 4 hours, and after cooling, the contact angle was tested with distilled water. The results are shown below. Figure 1 .

[0095] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the contact angle of the hydrophobic core model before treatment was 89.6°, and after treatment with the viscosity-reducing oil displacement agent B5 of this invention, the contact angle decreased to 16.5°, while the contact angle after treatment with petroleum sulfonate was reduced to 51.0°.
