Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of enhanced oil recovery technology, specifically to a carbon dioxide viscosity enhancer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Injecting recovered CO2 into oil and gas reservoirs to enhance oil recovery not only allows for long-term CO2 storage to fulfill emission reduction obligations but also improves recovery rates for greater economic benefits, successfully transforming what was once a "hazard in the air" into a "treasure underground." However, a serious technical challenge exists in CO2 displacement: the large viscosity contrast between underground crude oil and injected CO2 leads to an unfavorable mobility ratio, causing early CO2 breakthrough, reduced reservoir sweep efficiency, and decreased oil production.

[0003] Therefore, to achieve good CO2-driven oil recovery, it is essential to control gas channeling, adjust the injection profile, and expand the gas sweep area to maximize CO2 contact with remaining oil, thereby improving oil washing efficiency and ultimately achieving cost-effective and efficient enhanced oil recovery. The development of viscosity enhancers dissolved in CO2 to increase the viscosity of the mobile phase CO2 for mobility control has attracted considerable attention.

[0004] Due to the low dielectric constant ε (1.0–1.6) and unit oxidative efficiency α / v of supercritical CO2, it is a very weak solvent for most non-volatile solutes. Therefore, the low solubility of polymers in CO2 prevents them from effectively thickening. For example, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is a polymer with a relatively high affinity for CO2 and can interact with multiple CO2 molecular sites. Even so, dissolving 5 wt% of PVAc with a degree of polymerization of 8000 at room temperature requires a pressure as high as 75 MPa, resulting in a negligible thickening effect. Furthermore, the use of large amounts of co-solvents (toluene or others, 10–50%) significantly increases costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thickener that can effectively increase the viscosity of carbon dioxide. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problem of low viscosity of carbon dioxide in existing technologies, which leads to easy cross-flow during oil displacement, this invention provides a carbon dioxide viscosity enhancer, its preparation method, and its application.

The product was then evacuated under reduced pressure for 30 minutes and cooled to room temperature to obtain a transparent, viscous liquid, namely aminosiloxane (poly[dimethylsiloxane-co-(3-aminopropyl)methylsiloxane).
