Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of oil drilling, well cementing is a very crucial oil well engineering technology used to seal the wellbore and isolate underground fluids during oil well drilling and production. However, with the increasing proportion of unconventional oil and gas wells being developed, the geological environment where the oil wells are located becomes more and more complex, including factors such as high temperature, high pressure, geological stress, and differences in media inside and outside the well. The cured cement sheath may encounter various damages or cracks during use. These damages may lead to the loss of well cementing integrity, thereby triggering serious accidents such as oil and gas leakage or wellbore collapse, posing a threat to the environment and personnel safety, and also causing economic losses.

[0003] To solve the problem of damage to well cementing materials, self-healing agents have been introduced into the field of well cementing. A self-healing agent is a special material that has the ability to automatically repair or fill cracks when encountering damage.

[0096] Cool to room temperature, filter, wash the particles and dry them at room temperature.

[0097] The product obtained in Example 13 contains lipophilic particles, but the ratio of polymerization monomer to water is too high, and suspension adhesion occurs during the polymerization process, resulting in uneven particle size distribution of the synthesized product, with the maximum particle size reaching 1 mm, which cannot meet the requirements of well cementing.

[0098] Based on the performance of the products prepared in each example, the products obtained in Examples 1 to 6 are used as self-healing agents.

[0099] Performance test of each example:

[0100] (1) Wettability test:

[0102] And place the samples of each example in a mixed solution of water and ethanol of hydrofluoric acid (100 mL of 2 wt% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution and 10 mL of ethanol) to remove the silica particles on the surface, and then conduct the contact angle measurement.

[0103] The contact angle measurement results are shown in Table 1.

[0109] The measurement results are shown in Table 2.

[0110] Table 2:

[0112] Note: The "-" in Examples 9 and 12 indicates that the sample dissolved in kerosene and there was no solid substance after filtration.

[0113] (3) Thermal stability test:

[0114] The initial temperature of thermal weight loss can be used to represent the initial temperature when the material decomposes, so it can be used to represent the thermal stability of the material. The initial temperature of thermal weight loss of each example is shown in Table 3.

[0116]

[0117] Cement slurry performance test:

[0118] Referring to the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB / T 19139-2012 "Test Methods for Oil Well Cement", the self-healing agents of Examples 1 to 6 were formulated into cement slurries, and the performance evaluation was carried out at 80 °C. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0119] Table 4:

[0120]

[0121] The formulation is Class G oil well cement (Jiahua) + 2.5% fluid loss reducer + self-healing agent (dosage as shown in Table 3) + 44% water. The measurement of fluid loss is carried out under the condition of 80°C. The sedimentation density difference is carried out under the condition of 80°C. The thickening conditions are 80°C, 35 MPa, and the heating and pressure increasing time is 40 min.

[0122] Performance testing of cement stone

[0123] Referring to the national standard of the People's Republic of China GB / T 19139-2012 "Test Methods for Oil Well Cement" and SY-T6466-2016 "Test Methods for Performance of Oil Well Cement Stone", the self-healing agents of Examples 1 to 6 were added to the cement slurry, and the performance of the formed cement stone was evaluated. The cement slurry containing the self-healing agent of the present invention (density 1.90 g / cm 3 ) was placed in a strength module (5.08 cm * 5.08 cm * 5.08 cm) and cured for 1 day and 7 days at a test temperature of 80°C, and its strength was measured. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0124] Table 5:

[0125]

[0126] The strengths of each example after removing the silica particles on the surface of the self-healing agent are shown in Table 6.

[0127] Table 6:

[0128]

[0129] The cement slurry containing the self-healing agent of the present invention (density 1.90 g / cm 3 ) was placed in a cylindrical mold (inner diameter 2.5 cm, length 5 cm), cured for 2 days at 80°C, a crack was made using the Brazilian splitting method, the crack width was measured, and it was cured for 1 day in a kerosene medium at 80°C. The permeability of the cured cement stone was tested. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0130] Table 7:

[0131]

[0132] Based on the above embodiments, it can be seen that Embodiments 2 to 13 all contain lipophilic particles compared to Embodiment 1, and the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 lies only in this. The products formed in Embodiment 2 are better than those formed in Embodiment 1 in terms of the oil-swelling persistence ability and thermal stability, indicating that the addition of lipophilic particles helps to improve the thermal stability of the products; however, the thermal stability of the products formed in Embodiment 9 and Embodiment 12 is lower than that of the product in Embodiment 1, indicating that although lipophilic particles contribute to improving the thermal stability, the final thermal stability of the products is also related to the type and proportion of oil-soluble monomers and the dosage of initiators. Among the embodiments, the products prepared in Embodiments 1 to 6 have good thermal stability, and the oil-swelling property is still greater than 4.5 g / g after multiple uses, indicating their excellent swelling property and durability. By comparing Embodiment 6 with Embodiments 7 and 8, it is found that adjusting the dosage of the suspending agent in water has a great influence on the particle size and uniformity of the formed products. Too small a dosage results in too large particle size of the products, while too large a dosage leads to the remaining of some suspending agents. Therefore, the dosage of the suspending agent should be controlled at 1.5 - 6 wt% of the water quality; by comparing Embodiment 3 with Embodiments 9 and 10, too high or too low mass ratio of the olefin monomer with long alkane chain to the rigid olefin monomer will affect the performance of the prepared products. Therefore, the mass ratio of the olefin monomer with long alkane chain to the rigid olefin monomer should be controlled between 1:1 and 3:1; by comparing Embodiment 3 with Embodiments 11 and 12, too high or too low dosage of the initiator will reduce the oil-swelling performance of the products. Therefore, its dosage accounts for 1 - 2 wt% of the sum of the masses of the olefin monomer with long alkane chain and the rigid olefin monomer. It can be seen from Embodiment 13 that the ratio of the oil-soluble monomer to water should not be too large, not greater than 1:5. By removing the surface particles of the self-healing agent synthesized in Embodiments 1 to 6 and making comparisons, it is found that hydrophilic silica as a suspending agent can appropriately reduce the contact angle of the self-healing agent, improve the hydrophilicity, and contribute to enhancing the strength of the cement stone. The thickening curves of the cement slurries prepared with the self-healing agents formed in each embodiment at various dosages are normal, indicating that they have a relatively wide range of applications and can be increased or decreased according to the actual situation.
