Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of treating agents for oilfield drilling fluids, and in particular relates to a foam enhancer for high-temperature resistant microbubble drilling fluids, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, during the drilling process of low-pressure reservoirs at home and abroad, due to the low formation pressure coefficient (less than 1.0), the use of conventional drilling fluid is very likely to cause well leakage, affecting the safety of underground construction. For this type of formation, low-density drilling fluid is often used for drilling to reduce drilling fluid leakage. At present, a micro-bubble drilling fluid has been developed in China, which has the advantages of low density and no need to add injection gas equipment on site. It can effectively prevent low-pressure crushing, high permeability sandstone and fracture leakage formation leakage, protect oil and gas layers, and reduce drilling costs.

[0003] The Chinese patent with application number 200710113558.0 discloses a high temperature resistant recyclable micro-foam drilling fluid or completion fluid, wherein the foaming agent is fatty alcohol glyceryl ether sulfonate AGES, polyol, coconut oil amide sulfosuccinic acid monoester sodium salt F873, and the foam stabilizer is a mixture of LV-CMC and HV-PAC. The biggest advantage of the micro-foam drilling fluid is that the micro-foam therein can gather at the bottom of the well to block the micro-cracks in the well wall, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing (or reducing) the loss of the drilling fluid. Therefore, the micro-foam must maintain a certain compression resistance under the high pressure condition at the bottom of the well to prevent the foam wall from breaking and affecting the leakage-proof performance of the micro-foam drilling fluid. However, although the mixture of LV-CMC and HV-PAC can increase the viscosity of the drilling fluid and improve the half-life of microbubbles, due to its large relative molecular mass (generally 500,000 to 2 million), the large steric hindrance effect makes it difficult for it to play a synergistic role with the foaming agent to improve the sealing of the hollow nucleus in the microbubbles, resulting in insufficient compression resistance of the microbubbles under high pressure at the bottom of the well, rupture of the foam wall, resulting in an increase in the density of the microbubble drilling fluid and a decrease in the anti-leakage performance.

[0004] The Chinese patent application number 201811166966.7 discloses a foam enhancer for microbubble drilling fluid, which is prepared by copolymerization of vinyl monomers and utilizes the synergistic effect with the foaming agent to enhance the stability and compression resistance of microbubbles under high pressure conditions at the bottom of the well, thereby improving the leakage-proof performance of microbubble drilling fluid. However, its temperature resistance is insufficient and it is difficult to meet the requirements for improving the compression resistance of microbubbles under high temperature conditions of 150°C.

[0005] It can be seen that it is very necessary to develop a foam enhancer for drilling fluid that can work well with the foaming agent and significantly enhance the stability and compression resistance of microbubbles under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Summary of the invention

[0093] (1) Influence on the foaming ability and foam stability of the foaming agent

[0094] 1.0 g of a foaming agent, sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate (AES) and 0.3 g of a foam enhancer (the foam enhancer samples synthesized in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Example 1, respectively) were added to 100 mL of water, and then stirred at high speed for 5 min at a high speed of 10,000 r / min with a high-speed stirrer. The foam slurry was poured into a measuring cylinder, and the volume of the foam was recorded. The time taken for the foam system to precipitate 50 mL of the foaming base liquid was recorded as the foam half-life. The experimental results are shown in Table 2:

[0096]

[0097] (2) Evaluation of microbubble anti-compression performance

[0098] Add 2.5g of foam enhancer (the foam enhancer samples synthesized in Example 2, Example 4 and Comparative Example 1, respectively), 5g of foaming agent sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate (AES) and 2.5g of xanthan gum to 500g of clean water, mix the treatment agent evenly with a stirrer, and then roll age at 150°C for 6h. Stir the aged liquid at 600 rpm for 10min to obtain a density of 0.82g / cm 3 The microbubble system was prepared and the effect of pressure change on the density of the system at 150°C was investigated using a PVT fluid tester. In order to better compare the effects, a control group without adding foam enhancer was set up during the experiment.

[0099] The experimental results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a graph showing the test results of the microbubble compression resistance provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 It can be seen that the foam enhancer synthesized in the present invention has good temperature resistance and can significantly improve the compression resistance of microbubbles at a high temperature of 150° C., which is beneficial to enhancing the leakage-proof performance of microbubble drilling fluid at high temperatures.

[0100] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
