Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum extraction, in particular to a plant-based nano petroleum viscosity reducer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, heavy oil has high viscosity and density, which makes it difficult to drive in the reservoir environment and has too much flow resistance during transportation. Therefore, the exploitation of heavy oil faces a series of problems such as high cost and difficulty in exploitation. In terms of chemical composition, heavy oil is mainly a mixture of various hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons. The relative content of various components is different, and their physical properties are also different. Among them, the content of asphaltene and colloid in heavy oil is particularly high, and their structure is complex and the molecular weight is large. Microstructural studies on the interaction of asphaltene and colloid show that their molecules contain a large number of hydroxyl, carboxyl or amino groups, forming strong hydrogen bond interactions between colloid molecules, between asphaltene molecules, and between colloid and asphaltene molecules. At the same time, the aromatic condensed ring planes of asphaltene molecules overlap and stack together, and are fixed by hydrogen bonds between polar groups to form asphaltene particles. The colloid molecules overlap and stack on the surface of asphaltene particles with aromatic condensed ring planes, and are fixed by hydrogen bonds to form a coating layer of asphaltene particles. These particles are then connected to each other through multiple hydrogen bonds to form supramolecular aggregates, which ultimately create the high viscosity characteristics of heavy oil.

[0003] Therefore, in order to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, its aggregate structure must be broken. For example, Chinese patent CN113755147A discloses a petroleum viscosity reducer and its preparation process, which specifically includes (A) preparing raw materials by weight, weighing diethanolamine, dichloroethane, epichlorohydrin, polyacrylate, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, polyethylene glycol, octadecanoyl chloride, phosphorus pentoxide, sodium hydroxide, and deionized water; (B) adding diethanolamine and dichloroethane to a mixing container A in a petroleum viscosity reducer preparation device, controlling the temperature in the mixing container to 60-100°C, and continuously introducing nitrogen protection into the mixing container, and obtaining a mixture A after stirring; (C) then adding epichlorohydrin, polypropylene, and propylene glycol to the mixture; (D) adding diethanolamine and dichloroethane to the mixture; (E) adding epichlorohydrin, polypropylene, and propylene glycol to the mixture; (F) adding epichlorohydrin, polypropylene, and propylene glycol to the mixture; (F) adding epichlorohydrin, polypropylene, and propylene glycol to the mixture; (F) adding epichlorohydrin, polypropylene, and propylene glycol to the mixture; (G ... Acid esters, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and deionized water are stirred and mixed in a mixing container B in a petroleum viscosity reducer preparation device to obtain a mixture B; (D) the mixture B is then dripped into the mixture A in the mixing container A, with 1-2 drops being dripped per second until the mixture B is completely dripped into the mixture A; although the petroleum viscosity reducer can reduce the viscosity of crude oil to a certain extent and improve the recovery rate of crude oil, as the crude oil separates from the rock layer where it is adsorbed, the rock layer loses the filling of crude oil, the structure of the rock layer will change, microcracks are likely to appear, resulting in instability of the well wall structure, which is likely to cause well wall collapse accidents. Summary of the invention

[0007] Furthermore, the heat treatment is specifically performed by heating the temperature to 120-145°C at a rate of 5-8°C / min, keeping the temperature for 1-3h, and then heating the temperature to 200-210°C at a rate of 3-6°C / min, and keeping the temperature for 1-2h; The calcination treatment is specifically performed as follows: calcining at 300-310°C for 30-50min, then heating to 410-420°C at a rate of 5-8°C / min, keeping the temperature for 30-50min, then heating to 540-560°C at a rate of 5-8°C / min, and keeping the temperature for 1-3h.

[0008] Furthermore, the porous graphene oxide is prepared by chemical concentrated acid etching, wherein the concentrated acid is fully mixed with a graphene oxide dispersion having a concentration of 0.5-2.5 mg / mL, wherein the volume ratio of the graphene oxide dispersion to the concentrated acid is 1:(3-8); the mixture is ultrasonically reacted at 200-300 W for 1-2 hours, and then allowed to stand at room temperature, and the concentrated acid is removed by centrifugation, and then dried, wherein the concentrated acid is selected from any one or a combination of concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, and concentrated phosphoric acid.

After the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, wash by centrifugation, and dry to obtain modified bentonite.

[0011] Furthermore, the ratio of potassium antimony tartrate, deionized water, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and thioacetamide is (7.5-11.0) g: (30-70) mL: (0.2-0.3) g: (1.3-2.0) g; The stirring speed is 180-260r / min; The ultrasonic oscillation has a power of 200-300W.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pretreated bentonite is prepared by the following method: 1) Add 1.1-1.8g of bismuth nitrate to 30-60mL of deionized water, stir thoroughly to dissolve, and obtain a bismuth nitrate solution. Then add 0.3-0.5g of sodium tungstate to 45-80mL of deionized water, stir thoroughly to dissolve, and obtain a sodium tungstate solution. 2) Add the sodium tungstate solution to the bismuth nitrate solution, stir thoroughly and transfer to a high-temperature reactor, react at 160-170°C for 16-20 hours, cool naturally to room temperature, centrifuge, wash repeatedly with deionized water and ethanol, and dry to obtain flower-like nanoparticles; 3) After drying and crushing the bentonite and removing sand by multi-stage water washing, bentonite powder is obtained, the flower-shaped nanoparticles are dispersed in deionized water, and the dispersion is obtained after uniform ultrasonic dispersion. Then, according to a certain solid-liquid ratio, the bentonite powder is placed in a vacuum impregnation tank, evacuated to 50-80Pa, maintained for 20-30min, and then the dispersion is injected. The vacuum is continued to be maintained for 20-30min under the action of 200-300W ultrasound, and the pressure is slowly released to normal pressure. After centrifugal washing, it is dried to obtain the pretreated bentonite.

[0013] Furthermore, the dispersion has a solid content of 1-3 wt %; The solid-liquid ratio is 1: (100-130) g / mL.

[0014] A method for preparing a plant-based nano-petroleum viscosity reducer comprises the following steps: Under normal pressure and 50-58℃, slowly add penetrant, wetting agent and stabilizer into water in turn, stir until mixed evenly, raise the temperature to 92-97℃, then add bentonite-based composite materials and nano-silicate, sterilize and then naturally cool to 26-30℃, add vegetable oil-based surfactant, compound biological enzyme and emulsifier, and mix evenly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, firstly, bismuth nitrate and sodium tungstate are used as precursors to obtain flower-shaped nanoparticles through hydrothermal reaction, and then bentonite is dried, crushed and sanded, and then the flower-shaped nanoparticles are injected into the multi-layer structure of bentonite through vacuum impregnation to obtain pretreated bentonite. In the impregnation process, ultrasonic action is applied to increase the depth and firmness of the nanoparticles embedded in the gaps of the bentonite layer structure. By embedding the nanoparticles, on the one hand, the stability of the layer structure can be increased to avoid the collapse of the layer structure. At the same time, the embedded nanoparticles, due to the petal-shaped outer protrusion structure, can effectively increase the specific surface area and surface roughness of the bentonite, which is conducive to the subsequent deposition of antimony sulfide particles on the surface of the bentonite and forming a stable network structure. Secondly, potassium antimony tartrate and thioacetamide are used as The invention uses antimony source and sulfur source as the deposition matrix, and uses pretreated bentonite as the deposition matrix. Antimony sulfide nanoparticles are deposited on the flower-like structure between the pretreated bentonite layers through hydrothermal reaction. As the reaction proceeds, agglomeration occurs between the antimony sulfide particles, and some network structures grow from the surface. As the antimony sulfide particles gradually disappear, the network structure continues to grow, thereby forming a continuous network structure between the bentonite layers, thereby obtaining modified bentonite. The formation of the network structure can play a good role in transmitting and dispersing stress, and enhance the resistance of the modified bentonite to external forces. By introducing it into the petroleum viscosity reducer, it can be well attached to the cracks on the rock layer to form an efficient pressure-bearing belt, play a supporting role in the cracks, and enhance the stability of the rock layer. In the process of crude oil extraction, the well wall is stabilized and complex accidents such as shrinkage and collapse are not likely to occur.

[0016] At the same time, in order to further enhance the stability of the well wall, in the present invention, zinc acetate and polyvinyl alcohol are used, and the zinc cation interacts with the hydroxyl group on the polyvinyl alcohol to enrich the zinc acetate in the gap of the polyvinyl alcohol, and decomposes in the gap formed by the polyvinyl alcohol through step-by-step rapid heating, and the zinc oxide nanowires are obtained by controlling the heating, and porous graphene oxide is added to the reaction solution, so that the formed zinc oxide nanowires are embedded in the holes of the porous graphene oxide, and are entangled and cross-linked, thereby forming a stable composite nanomaterial, and in order to enhance the bonding strength of the two, vacuum impregnation is performed, assisted by mechanical stirring and ultrasonic action, so that the nano-iron tetroxide particles can be better embedded in the hole gaps where the zinc oxide nanowires and the porous graphene oxide are combined, and the bonding stability of the two is enhanced; finally, modified bentonite is added by shaking, and the nanowires in the composite nanomaterial are very easy to be entangled and cross-linked with the network structure in the modified bentonite, so that they are combined and fixed together to obtain a bentonite-based composite. The invention discloses a material, and because the introduced nano-iron tetroxide particles are magnetic, when they remain in the crude oil, they can be removed by simple magnetic adsorption, and no impurities will be formed in the crude oil. The porous graphene oxide is a lamellar structure, which is easier to be embedded in the fine cracks of the rock layer, and is firmly embedded in the deep cracks of the rock layer, and the zinc oxide nanowires act as a traction rope, pulling the modified bentonite to move into the rock cracks, so that the bentonite-based composite material is completely embedded in the cracks, and plays a role in filling and supporting the cracks, thereby enhancing the stability of the well wall. Moreover, in the cracks, a certain degree of cross-linking will occur between the zinc oxide nanowires to form a network structure, so that an inner and outer double-layer network structure is formed in the bentonite-based composite material, while achieving enhanced resistance to external forces, the hydrated and dispersed clay in the well wall can also be retained to avoid the loss of clay in the well wall, thereby further enhancing the stability of the well wall, so that the well wall structure is stable during crude oil extraction, and accidents such as collapse are not easy to occur.

[0017] The plant-based nano-petroleum viscosity reducer of the present invention is composed of plant-based raw materials, inorganic materials and high molecular organic materials. The plant oil-based surfactant and composite enzyme in the plant-based raw materials are used in combination with penetrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and stabilizers to quickly peel off the thick oil on the surface of rock minerals, destroy the polycyclic aromatic structure formed by porphyrin heavy metals in the thick oil, reduce the complexing force between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and rock minerals, and effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, fully emulsify the oil and reduce the viscosity, thereby greatly improving the fluidity of the oil. The bentonite-based composite material in the inorganic material can It forms an efficient pressure-bearing zone by attaching to the cracks in the rock layer, plays a supporting role in the cracks, enhances the stability of the rock layer, and stabilizes the well wall during crude oil extraction, making it less likely to have complex accidents such as shrinkage and collapse. At the same time, the porous graphene oxide in the bentonite-based composite material, used in combination with nano-silicates, can penetrate between the colloid and asphaltene flaky molecules, break up the aggregates formed by the stacking of colloid and asphaltene, destroy the spatial network structure formed by asphaltene and colloid, and release the light components of the petroleum wrapped therein, thereby effectively reducing the viscosity.

Then, the method specified in Q / SH10201519-2016 "General Technical Conditions for Viscosity Reducers for Heavy Oil" was referred to, wherein the parameter conditions of the viscometer were temperature 50°C, speed 200 rpm, torque 70, the viscosity of the heavy oil after viscosity reduction was tested, and the viscosity reduction rate of the heavy oil was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0034] Experiment 2: Blocking performance test The plugging performance of bentonite-based composite materials in oil viscosity reducers in crude oil production was evaluated by using constant pressure microporous (nanoscale) filter membranes.

It has the advantages of accuracy and convenience, and is suitable for rapid evaluation in the laboratory and on-site. Based on this, the microporous filter membrane was used to replace the filter paper, and the emulsion loss experiment was carried out at 0.1MPa to simulate the plugging of the reservoir pore throat by the bentonite-based composite material.

[0038] (2) Nuclear pore membrane plugging experiment: Place the nylon filter membrane at the bottom of the filter loss test tank, clamp it tightly, add 100 mL of the evenly stirred dispersion system into the tank, seal the evaluation tank, and record the time for the dispersion system to be completely filtered out under a pressure of 0.1 MPa.
