Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial control in oilfield systems. Specifically, the present invention discloses a method for treating hydrogen sulfide in oil wells. Background Art
[0002] Sulfate-reducing bacteria (abbreviated as SRB) is a general term for bacteria that can reduce SO 4 2- to H 2 S and obtain energy for themselves. SRB is a type of anaerobic microorganism that uses organic matter as a nutrient, and is widely present in oxygen-deficient environments such as soil, seawater, sludge, underground pipelines, and oil and gas wells with a pH value of 6-9. SRB is widely present in all aspects of the oilfield system. According to statistics, more than 70% of the H 2 S generated in domestic and foreign oilfield systems is caused by SRB, which can cause microbial corrosion, water quality deterioration, reduction of polymer viscosity, endanger human health, etc., seriously affecting the safe production of oilfields and causing environmental hazards and economic losses.
[0003] At present, the sterilization technologies for SRB mainly include physical methods, chemical methods and biological control methods. Physical methods often use cathodic protection, ultraviolet and ultrasonic sterilization, high-voltage pulse sterilization technology, etc. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN106542622 A discloses a magnetic field and ultrasonic treatment equipment for sulfate-reducing bacteria in oilfield produced fluid, which includes a metal pipe, a copper pipe, an ultrasonic generator, a transducer and a coil. The metal pipe is connected to the oilfield produced fluid delivery pipeline, the transducer is located outside the metal pipe, the transducer is closely connected to the outer diameter of the metal pipe, the ultrasonic generator is connected to the transducer, the copper pipe is located outside the metal pipe, the inner diameter of the copper pipe is closely connected to the outer diameter of the metal pipe, and the coil is wound outside the copper pipe. However, the physical method is difficult to operate and has high economic cost, and is not suitable for use on site in oil fields. Chemical method mainly refers to adding bactericide, is widely used in oil field, and the bactericide used in domestic oil field is mainly based on quaternary ammonium salt bactericide, such as Chinese invention patent application CN103168775A discloses a kind of double quaternary ammonium salt type gas field reinjection water bactericide and the bactericidal composition comprising the above-mentioned bactericide. Double quaternary ammonium salt of the present invention has higher positive charge density relative to traditional bactericide 1227, and the ability of adsorbing negatively charged bacterial cell surface increases, therefore has stronger bactericidal activity, and drug effect duration is long, foam is few. Double long-chain quaternary ammonium salt has one hydrophilic group and two lipophilic groups, has stronger ability to reduce surface tension, can enhance water solubility, even when water hardness is larger, also presents quite good solubility and stability. The above-mentioned gas field reinjection water bactericidal composition was used to conduct bacterial tests with reference to the extinction dilution method described in SY / T0532-93, and bactericidal experiments were conducted on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), iron bacteria (FB) and saprophytic bacteria (TGB). The effective bactericidal concentration was 20-30ppm, and the bactericidal rate reached more than 99.9%, meeting the reinjection requirements. However, long-term use of bactericides will cause SRB to develop drug resistance, and the amount of agents used will increase accordingly. At the same time, chemical agents are highly toxic and will cause environmental pollution. How to improve the bactericidal efficiency of bactericides and reduce the amount of bactericides used is an urgent problem to be solved. The biological control method mainly uses the symbiotic, competitive, and antagonistic relationship between microorganisms to prevent and control harmful microorganisms. It is a green, environmentally friendly, economical and efficient sterilization method.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN101229943 A discloses a method for strengthening the activity of native microorganisms to control hydrogen sulfide. It uses the activation of nitrate-reducing bacteria in oilfield water to competitively inhibit the growth of SRB bacteria, thereby controlling hydrogen sulfide. However, this method is only applicable to water samples with nitrate-reducing bacteria, and biological competition can only suppress SRB bacteria to a certain level of quantity. When SRB bacteria develop resistance, there is a risk of rapid recovery of quantity, which increases the difficulty of later treatment.
[0005] At present, using bacteriophages to kill bacteria is a new research direction in biological control. Bacteriophages, also known as bacterial viruses, are a type of virus widely present in nature. Virulent bacteriophages can specifically invade "host" bacterial cells, replicate and proliferate within the host cells, produce progeny bacteriophages exponentially, and destroy the cell wall through enzymatic action, causing the bacteria to lyse and killing the bacteria through "lysis". Using bacteriophages to kill bacteria is a research idea for biological control of SRB and inhibition of H in oil wells 2 S, which has the advantages of high specificity, strong reproductive ability, and no drug resistance.
[0006] Chinese invention patent CN109439305 B discloses a method for improving the viscosity stability of polymer solutions, which specifically includes the isolation and screening of sulfate-reducing bacteria phages. By inhibiting SRB, the content of sulfide produced by its metabolism is reduced, thereby ensuring the polymer viscosity and effectively solving the problem of viscosity loss caused by sulfide produced by SRB during the transportation of oilfield polymer solutions.
[0007] Chinese invention patent CN111119818 B discloses a method for directional regulation of endogenous functional microorganisms in oil reservoirs, which also includes the isolation and screening of sulfate-reducing bacteria phages. Through the screening of a directional activation system, the endogenous functional microorganisms in the oil reservoir are directionally regulated, which is a regulation method for inhibiting SRB and activating other functional bacteria.
[0008] Both of the above two patents involve the screening and isolation of SRB phages, but they fail to effectively evaluate and optimize the action effects of SRB phages, so the obtained SRB phages may not be in the optimal state and concentration; at the same time, through literature research, it is known that the bactericidal effect of using bacteriophages alone is about 90%, which can control the number of SRB at a low level, but cannot completely eliminate them; and currently, the highest bactericidal efficiency of bactericides used in oilfields against SRB is 90%. Using bactericides easily makes SRB develop drug resistance, and the bactericidal efficiency gradually decreases. The biological competition inhibition effect, the use of bacteriophages alone and the use of bactericides alone cannot achieve the effect of complete sterilization, and SRB will rapidly proliferate in the short term after use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can completely eliminate SRB bacteria in oil wells. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Further, the screening conditions for the test reservoirs in step (1) are as follows: H 2 S wellhead concentration > 10 ppm, and the concentration of sulfate-reducing bacteria present in the reservoir water sample > 25 cells / ml.
[0019] Furthermore, the sulfate-reducing bacteria are one or more of the genus Desulfovibrio, Desulfomonas, Desulfococcus, Desulfobacter, Desulfobullbus, Desulfobulbus, and Desulfotomaculum.
[0020] Further, the specific steps of step (2) are as follows:
[0021] (21) Take at least 3 L of the produced water from the oil wells in the test reservoir. After standing indoors in a closed state for at least 36 h, the oil and water are separated. Take 1 L of the water sample from the lower layer and centrifuge it at 10000 - 12000 RPM for 15 - 30 minutes to remove the solid impurities therein, and collect the supernatant;
[0022] (22) Use a cellulose filter membrane to filter the supernatant. First, add 50 - 100 mL of autoclaved sulfate-reducing bacteria medium to an anaerobic bottle, then add 50 - 100 mL of the supernatant to it, and then inoculate 5 - 10 mL of the test oil reservoir sulfate-reducing bacteria culture solution cultured indoors and mix well. After using a vacuum pump to remove the air in the anaerobic bottle, introduce nitrogen or inert gas. After at least 4 cycles to achieve an anaerobic environment, seal it. After standing at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, place the anaerobic bottle in a constant temperature incubator and culture it at the oil reservoir temperature for at least 24 h; centrifuge at 10000 - 12000 RPM for 15 - 30 minutes and collect the supernatant. Then, the filtrate obtained by filtering the centrifuged supernatant through a cellulose filter membrane is the stock solution of obligate virulent SRB phage.
[0023] Furthermore, the pore diameter of the filtration holes of the cellulose filter membrane in step (22) is not greater than 0.22 μm, preferably 0.22 μm.
[0024] Furthermore, the preparation steps of the sulfate-reducing bacteria medium are as follows: Dissolve 0.5 - 1 g of yeast extract, 0.3 - 0.5 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 1.0 - 1.5 g of ammonium chloride, 0.1 - 0.5 g of anhydrous calcium chloride, 2.0 - 3.0 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.5 - 1.0 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 1.0 - 1.5 g of sodium chloride, 0.3 - 0.5 g of ascorbic acid, 0.3 - 0.5 g of L-cys cysteine, 3 - 5 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, 3.0 - 5.0 g of sodium lactate in 1 L of water, adjust the pH value to 6.5 - 7.0, and after complete dissolution, the sulfate-reducing bacteria medium is obtained.

[0026] Dissolve 0.5 - 1 g of yeast extract, 0.3 - 0.5 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 1.0 - 1.5 g of ammonium chloride, 0.1 - 0.5 g of anhydrous calcium chloride, 2.0 - 3.0 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.5 - 1.0 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 1.0 - 1.5 g of sodium chloride, 0.3 - 0.5 g of ascorbic acid, 0.3 - 0.5 g of L-cys cysteine, 3 - 5 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, and 3.0 - 5.0 g of sodium lactate in 1 L of the produced fluid from the test oil reservoir oil well. After complete dissolution, use a vacuum pump to remove the air in the culture bottle, then introduce nitrogen for at least 4 cycles and seal it. Place the anaerobic bottle in a constant temperature incubator and culture it at the oil reservoir temperature for at least 7 d to obtain the test oil reservoir sulfate-reducing bacteria culture solution cultured indoors.
[0027] Further, the specific steps of step (3) are as follows:
[0028] Take 10 - 20 mL of the original stock solution of the obligate virulent SRB phage and inoculate it into 1 - 2 L of the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase for enlarged culture. Cultivate it at the test reservoir temperature until the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution becomes clear, then centrifuge and filter to collect the filtrate to obtain the obligate virulent SRB phage. After freeze - drying, obtain the dry powder of the obligate virulent SRB phage and store it at - 4°C;
[0029] Furthermore, the specific steps of step (4) are as follows:
[0030] Inoculate 0.1 - 0.3 wt% of the dry powder of the obligate virulent SRB phage into five portions of 1 L of the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase, and cultivate them at the reservoir temperature for 6 d, 8 d, 10 d, 12 d, and 15 d respectively. Then take 10 ml of the cultivated phage and add it to 1 L of the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase, and monitor the H 2 S concentration, and determine that the co - culture days of the phage and sulfate - reducing bacteria with the longest H 2 S inhibition time is the optimal titer of the obligate virulent SRB phage liquid.
[0031] Even further, the specific steps of step (5) are as follows:
[0032] Add five portions of 10 ml of the obligate virulent SRB phage with the optimal titer determined in step (4) to five portions of 1 L of the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase together with 10 ml of the bactericide THPS aqueous solution, 10 ml of the bactericide 1227 aqueous solution, 10 ml of the bactericide S - 29 aqueous solution, 10 ml of the bactericide KSG aqueous solution, and 10 ml of the bactericide SJT aqueous solution respectively. Cultivate them at the reservoir temperature and monitor the H 2 S concentration to determine the most suitable type of bactericide, where:

[0034] Even further, after determining the type of bactericide, take 10 ml of the obligate virulent SRB phage with the optimal titer determined in step (4) and add it to 1 L of the test reservoir sulfate - reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase together with 10 ml of bactericide aqueous solutions with different concentrations. Cultivate them at the reservoir temperature and monitor the H 2 S concentration to determine the most suitable bactericide concentration, where:

[0036] Further, step (6) includes the following steps: the optimal titer of the obligate virulent SRB phage liquid
[0037] Respectively add 10 portions of 10 ml of the obligate virulent SRB phage cultured to the optimal titer of the obligate virulent SRB phage liquid into 1 L of the test reservoir sulfate-reducing bacteria culture solution in the logarithmic growth phase. After co-culturing for 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 4 d, 5 d, 6 d, 7 d, 8 d, 9 d, and 10 d respectively, add the optimal bactericide at the optimal concentration, culture at the reservoir temperature, and monitor the H 2 S concentration in the anaerobic bottle, where:
[0038] The number of days before adding the bactericide that can inhibit H 2 S to < 2 mg / L for the longest number of days is the optimal intervention point of the bactericide.
[0039] Further, step (7) includes the following steps:
[0040] Add the obligate virulent SRB phage cultured to the optimal titer and the optimal type and concentration of the bactericide to the corresponding combined station of the test reservoir in the order of first the phage and then adding the bactericide at the optimal intervention point, each adding 0.2 - 0.5 PV. At the same time, monitor the H 2 S concentration at the wellhead of the corresponding oil well for effect evaluation.
