Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield exploitation, and specifically refers to a selective and efficient inorganic composite plugging agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Plugging technology is a very critical technical means in oil production. It is mainly used to plug high permeability channels or water drive channels in underground oil and gas reservoirs to improve the recovery rate of oil fields and extend the production life of oil fields. With the deepening of oil field exploitation, traditional water plugging and plugging technology can no longer meet the needs, especially in the face of complex underground environments, low oil recovery efficiency and growing environmental protection pressure. There is an urgent need to develop more efficient, more environmentally friendly and more selective plugging materials.

[0003] Traditional plugging agents mainly include two categories: organic and inorganic. Inorganic plugging agents are widely used in cement plugging, well wall stabilization and other fields in oil fields due to their advantages such as good high temperature resistance, salt and alkali resistance and relatively low price. However, traditional inorganic plugging agents also have some shortcomings. First, the effect of inorganic plugging agents in selective water plugging is limited, and it is often difficult to achieve precise control, resulting in poor plugging effect on the oil layer, and may even affect the exploitation of the oil-producing layer. Secondly, inorganic plugging agents may lose stability under extreme conditions such as certain temperature and pressure, resulting in difficulty in maintaining the plugging effect, affecting the long-term effect of plugging. Furthermore, traditional inorganic plugging agents often have the problem of being difficult to degrade, which may cause secondary pollution.

[0004] In response to these problems, the traditional inorganic plugging agent is modified to improve its plugging performance and selectivity, so that it can better meet the exploitation needs of complex oil and gas reservoirs. The main advantage of inorganic composite plugging agent is that by adding different additives and modified materials, its physical and chemical properties are adjusted to improve the selective plugging ability of different permeability layers, while maintaining high stability and durability. Summary of the invention

The plugging agent can accurately block the water flow channel without causing too much impact on the oil layer through the synergistic effect of modified sludge and inorganic gel. The addition of inorganic gel ensures the stability of the plugging agent in the underground oil field. The gel can form a solid plugging layer in a short time, thereby effectively blocking the water flow channel and preventing further flow of water.

[0040] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0041] The present invention provides a selective and efficient inorganic composite plugging agent. Through the synergistic effect of modified sludge and inorganic gel, the plugging agent can accurately block the water flow channel without causing too much impact on the oil layer. The addition of inorganic gel ensures the stability of the plugging agent in the underground oil field. The gel can form a solid plugging layer in a short time, thereby effectively blocking the water flow channel and preventing the further flow of water. At the same time, the thickener and modified sludge in the plugging agent enhance the long-term stability of the plugging agent under high temperature and high pressure environment, ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the plugging effect; the modified sludge, as one of the key components in the present invention, is mainly derived from oily sludge. After multi-step modification treatment, it has good physical and chemical stability and strong selective plugging ability. Through acid washing, oil removal, surface modification (such as silane coupling agent KH550 treatment, cysteine ​​modification, etc.) of the sludge, the modified sludge can significantly improve its compatibility with the inorganic gel and enhance its plugging effect in the high permeability layer. Through these treatments, the modified sludge can not only effectively improve the adhesion of the plugging agent, but also continue to play a plugging role in the complex underground environment of the oil field, reducing the formation of water drive layers; the inorganic gel can quickly form a stable gel structure in the high permeability channel through the gelation reaction, block the water flow channel, prevent water from entering the oil layer, and maintain the crude oil production of the oil field. Specifically, the preparation process described in steps P1 and P2 generates SiO2 wet gel through the reaction of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, which is then mixed with aluminum sec-butoxide and treated with ammonia water to form an inorganic gel, ensuring that it has good gel strength and stability. When the inorganic gel is mixed with other components, it can quickly solidify in the underground environment and form a solid plugging layer. The high stability of the inorganic gel ensures that it will not fail under high temperature and high pressure environments and can maintain the plugging effect for a long time; the addition of the viscosity enhancer to the plugging agent is to enhance its rheology and adhesion so that it can be more evenly distributed in the complex underground oil reservoirs. The thickener (copolymer of acrylamide-lipoic acid ester and methacrylamide) described in steps P6 and P7 can increase the viscosity of the plugging agent, ensure the stability of the plugging agent during the injection process of the oil field, and is not prone to stratification or sedimentation. This enhanced rheological property enables the plugging agent to accurately block the water flow channel in the underground oil layer, while maintaining good permeability to the oil layer, avoiding negative impact on crude oil production; the selective and efficient inorganic composite plugging agent prepared by the present invention can effectively improve the plugging efficiency in oil field exploitation, prolong the plugging effect, reduce the impact of water drive on the oil layer, and ultimately improve the oil field recovery rate. In addition, the use of a combination of various raw materials such as modified sludge and inorganic gel not only enhances the performance of the plugging agent, but also reduces the cost, and has good economy and environmental protection. These technical advantages make the present invention have broad application prospects and practical value in the process of oil field development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0094] Comparative Example 1

[0095] This comparative example provides an inorganic profile control agent and a preparation method thereof, which is different from Example 1 only in that the modified sludge is replaced with the oil-containing sludge of the same weight, and the other components and component contents are the same as those in Example 1.

[0096] Comparative Example 2

[0097] This comparative example provides an inorganic profile control agent and a preparation method thereof, which differs from Example 1 only in that in step P1 of the preparation method of the inorganic gel, tetraethoxysilane is used instead of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane in the same weight fraction, and the remaining components and component contents are the same as those in Example 1.

[0098] Comparative Example 3

[0099] This comparative example provides an inorganic profile control agent and a preparation method thereof, which differs from Example 1 only in that the preparation method of the tackifier does not include P6, that is, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide is not modified by lipoic acid, and the remaining components and component contents are the same as those in the example.

[0100] Experimental Example 1

[0101] In this experimental example, the suspension performance of the inorganic profile control agent prepared in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-3 was measured. The inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-3 was diluted with deionized water at 30 wt %, stirred and mixed at a speed of 2000 rpm, placed in a measuring cylinder, and allowed to stand at room temperature. The sedimentation was observed and the water separation rate was calculated according to the following formula:

[0102] Water separation rate (%) = (Vs-Vg) / Vs×100%;

[0103] Wherein, Vs is the total volume of the inorganic composite plugging agent dilution liquid before sedimentation, mL; Vg is the volume of the inorganic composite plugging agent after sedimentation, mL.

[0104] Figure 1The suspension performance result graph of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent prepared by Examples 1-3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1-3 is as shown in the figure. The water separation rates of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent prepared by Examples 1-3 within 10 minutes are 2.6%, 3.5% and 3.2%, and the water separation rates within 1 hour are 25.0%, 23.1% and 22.7%. Compared with the comparative example, the present invention removes oil and modifies the oily sludge, selects silane containing mercapto groups, and enhances the cross-linking ability of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent in the oil displacement system through the active effect of disulfide bonds. In the tackifier, the oil-containing thioctic acid side chain also enhances the stability of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent in the oil displacement system through the regulating performance of the disulfide bonds.

[0105] Experimental Example 2

[0106] In this experimental example, the consolidation mud properties of the inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested. The inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was diluted with deionized water at 30wt%, and a certain amount of mudstone sample was taken. After grinding and passing through a 40-mesh sieve, the mudstone sample was fully dried to remove moisture, and then added to a high-temperature and high-pressure consolidation device. The mudstone sample was added, and the temperature was usually set to 80°C, the pressure was set to 30 MPa, and 100 mL of the inorganic plugging agent was injected. After consolidation for 48 hours, the compressive strength was measured to represent the consolidated mud properties;

[0107] Figure 2 The consolidated mud performance result diagram of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent prepared by Examples 1-3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1-3 is shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the compressive strength of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent reaches 11.4 MPa under mud-free conditions. As the mud ratio increases, the compressive strength after consolidation decreases. When the mud ratio reaches 90% of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent, the compressive strength of Examples 1-3 can reach more than 5.0 MPa, while the compressive strength of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent prepared by Comparative Example 1 is close to 1 MPa. The compressive strength of the inorganic composite profile controlling agent prepared by Comparative Example 2 is higher at the beginning, and the compressive strength decreases significantly with the increase of the mud ratio.

[0108] Experimental Example 3

[0109] In this experimental example, the scour resistance of the inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was measured, and the single-tube experimental model was used for measurement. The experimental steps included filling a sand filling tube, diluting the inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 with deionized water at 30wt%, injecting it into a 1 / 2PV oil displacement system, placing it in a constant temperature box at the experimental temperature to achieve gelation, switching to water displacement, the pressure is 2PV, and observing the injection pressure.

[0110] Figure 3The results of the scour resistance of the inorganic composite profile control agent prepared in Examples 1-3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, when switching to water drive, the subsequent displacement pressure gradually increases and stabilizes at 8.4 MPa, indicating that the plugging agent has formed an effective plugging on the core, and there is no obvious change in the subsequent water drive 2PV pressure, and the scour resistance is good.
