Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil exploitation, and particularly relates to a bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thickened oil viscosity reducer and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a strategic mineral resource, oil is related to the economic lifeline and energy security of a country. In recent years, China's dependence on foreign crude oil remains high, and energy security and the stable development of the economy and society are facing major threats. However, most domestic oilfields, especially the old oilfields in the east, are generally characterized by high water flooding recovery and high comprehensive water cut, and it is difficult to further tap the potential. High-temperature and high-salt heavy oil reservoirs are faced with low recovery, high water cut and low water flooding efficiency, and have a large potential for tapping. At present, the oil displacement agent used for the development of conventional oil reservoirs is affected by high temperature and high salinity, and the oil displacement efficiency is low, which cannot meet the development needs of such reservoirs. Therefore, the development of temperature-resistant and salt-resistant thickened oil viscosity reducers is of great significance for improving the recovery of high-temperature and high-salt reservoirs.

[0003] Bio-based surfactants are a kind of natural surfactants, including rapeseed polyphenol, lignin, cardanol and tannic acid, and have the advantages of abundant source, economic and renewable, good biological friendliness and the like. Among them, rapeseed polyphenol has the characteristics of wide source and strong molecular structure plasticity, and will become an important raw material for preparing oilfield chemicals. Due to the poor water solubility of rapeseed polyphenol, molecular modification is usually carried out to improve its water solubility and interfacial activity. In addition, the water-soluble surfactant alone has poor viscosity reduction effect on thickened oil, and needs to be prepared into a microemulsion viscosity reducer to improve its effect. However, the commonly used emulsion viscosity reducer uses a chemical synthetic surfactant which is not temperature-resistant and salt-resistant, resulting in poor adaptability of the viscosity reducer in high-temperature and high-salt reservoirs.

[0004] CN201210202927.4 discloses a microemulsion thickened oil viscosity reducer and a preparation method thereof. The weight ratio of the components of the viscosity reducer is as follows: oil-soluble viscosity reducer 33-37, non-ionic surfactant 16-20, sulfonate anionic surfactant 18-22, Tween-type emulsifier 2-4, isomeric alcohol 3-5, and water 20-24. The above raw materials are prepared into products in a reaction kettle under certain temperature and rotation speed conditions. The microemulsion viscosity reducer is mixed with oilfield hot wastewater to form an aqueous solution, which is injected into the ground for use, has the characteristics of high viscosity reduction rate and strong economy, and can reduce the viscosity of thickened oil by more than 98%. The invention uses a sulfonate anionic surfactant, which precipitates when encountering calcium and magnesium ions, and therefore is not suitable for high-salinity reservoirs.

[0005] Patent CN202310438189.1 discloses a preparation method of a complex surfactant thick oil microemulsion, which comprises non-ionic surfactant APE-9 and two kinds of amphoteric surfactants CAB-35 and BS-12. The complex surfactant thick oil microemulsion has the advantages of small amount of surfactant, low price, simple preparation method, and high viscosity reduction rate of 99.53% to 99.68%, and can achieve the beneficial effect of improving the recovery rate. However, the non-ionic surfactant APE-9 used in the invention is not temperature-resistant, and therefore is not suitable for high-temperature and high-salt oil reservoirs. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thick oil viscosity reducer and a preparation method thereof, aiming at the poor adaptability of current thick oil viscosity reducers for high-temperature and high-salt oil reservoirs. The microemulsion viscosity reducer has the advantages of simple single-agent synthesis process, simple microemulsion preparation process, small amount, good viscosity reduction effect, and low cost.

[0007] Therefore, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the present application provides a bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thick oil viscosity reducer, the composition and mass components of which are as follows:

[0008]

[0009] The molecular structure of the sodium rapeseed polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate is as follows:

[0010]

[0011] The solvent oil is one of 120#, 200#, 220#, 240#, and 260#.

[0012] The electrolyte is one of NaCl, NaNO3, and CaCl2.

[0013] The alcohol additive is one of propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, n-pentanol, and n-hexanol.

[0014] On the other hand, the present application provides a preparation method of a bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thick oil viscosity reducer, which is as follows:

[0015] (1) Under the conditions of heating and stirring, the electrolyte is dissolved in water, and then the sodium rapeseed polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate is added to form a solution;

[0016] (2) The solvent oil is added to the above-mentioned solution, and the alcohol additive is added dropwise under stirring until the solution is transparent, to obtain the bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thick oil viscosity reducer.

[0017] The bio-based temperature-resistant and salt-resistant microemulsion thickened oil viscosity reducer of the present application is a colorless transparent liquid, which is composed of water-soluble surfactant, solvent oil, alcohol additive and electrolyte. As an emulsifier for preparing microemulsion, the synthesized rapeseed polyphenol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate sodium of the present application has both ethoxy and carboxyl groups on the molecule, which is a typical anionic-nonionic surfactant. The carboxyl group on the molecular structure can effectively reduce the precipitation problem caused by the high-temperature hydrogen bonding of ethoxy, so the temperature resistance is greatly improved. At the same time, the ethoxy has a certain negative charge, which has a good electrostatic protection effect on the carboxylate, reducing the interaction with divalent metal ions, so the calcium and magnesium ion resistance is improved. In addition, the other components in the microemulsion have good temperature resistance and salt resistance, so the prepared microemulsion can withstand high-temperature and high-salt reservoir environment. Compared with water-soluble viscosity reducer, the present application uses the strong emulsifying property of rapeseed polyphenol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate sodium to prepare a microemulsion with nanoscale oil phase particle size, greatly improving the contact efficiency of solvent oil and thickened oil. In the contact process of solvent oil and thickened oil, rapeseed polyphenol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate sodium is brought into the oil phase. At this time, the methoxybenzene on the rapeseed polyphenol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate sodium molecule can enter the colloid-asphaltene glue nuclear structure in the thickened oil, destroy the strong interaction between colloid and asphaltene, and thus realize emulsification and viscosity reduction and dispersion viscosity reduction at the same time, greatly reduce the viscosity of thickened oil and increase the flowability.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects and advantages:

[0019] (1) The rapeseed polyphenol used for synthesizing rapeseed polyphenol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate sodium is widely available, and the synthesis process is simple and clean without pollution.

[0020] (2) The bio-based microemulsion viscosity reducer of the present application has good temperature resistance and salt resistance, the temperature resistance can reach 120℃, the salt concentration resistance can reach 100000mg / L, and the calcium and magnesium ion concentration resistance can reach 2000mg / L.

[0021] (3) The bio-based microemulsion viscosity reducer of the present application has good surface / interface performance, the surface tension is reduced to below 28mN / m, and the interfacial tension is reduced to below 7x10 -2 mN / m.

[0022] (4) The bio-based microemulsion viscosity reducer of the present application has high-efficiency viscosity reduction characteristics, and can reduce the viscosity of thickened oil with a viscosity of 100000mPa·s by more than 99.0% under the condition of a use concentration of 500mg / L.
