Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield gas recovery in high-salt environments, and particularly to a salt-tolerant oilfield gas production defoamer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the process of oilfield gas production, foaming phenomena often stem from the coexistence of gas-liquid two-phase flow in pipelines. When gas and liquid flow mixed inside the pipeline, gas bubbles are prone to form, and this phenomenon is particularly significant under conditions of pressure fluctuations, flow rate changes, or when the liquid contains air bubbles. In addition, surfactants existing in the oilfield itself will further reduce the surface tension of the bubbles, which not only promotes the formation of bubbles but also enhances the stability of the foam structure.

[0003] The generation of foam poses significant challenges to the gas production efficiency of oilfields and the stable operation of equipment. On the one hand, it will reduce the gas flow rate, thereby reducing the overall gas production efficiency; on the other hand, it increases the operating load of key equipment such as pumping units and compressors, and may even cause equipment failures in severe cases.

[0004] In addition, foam may also cause pipeline blockages, interfering with the smooth progress of gas production operations. Especially in high-salt environments, due to the interference of salts, traditional defoamers often cannot effectively play their roles. Therefore, a new defoamer needs to be developed to meet the defoaming requirements in high-salt environments.

[0005] Upon retrieval, a preparation method of an organosilicon-modified polyether ester defoamer is disclosed in the patent with the patent application number CN202411574199.9. It mainly includes 30 - 40 parts of low hydrogen-containing silicone oil, 20 - 25 parts of allyl silicone oil, 12 - 15 parts of polyether-modified siloxane, 4 - 8 parts of lauric acid, 3 - 5 parts of p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyst, 8 - 12 parts of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether, 10 - 15 parts of heptamethyltrisiloxane, 1 - 2 parts of Tween80, and an appropriate amount of chloroplatinic acid catalyst.

[0006] It can be seen that from the application situation of this defoamer in the process of oilfield gas production in the current market, high-efficiency defoamers usually have relatively high costs, and the defoaming effect may decrease with the change of the viscosity of the fluid. Specifically, the organosilicon raw materials used in organosilicon-modified defoamers are relatively expensive in themselves, and in order to achieve good performance, some special modifiers and other auxiliary materials may need to be added, which will all lead to an increase in raw material costs.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to research and develop an efficient and salt-resistant defoamer. The active silicone paste of the defoamer described in this patent is prepared by promoting the reaction of Si-H with polyetheramine substances under the catalysis of Lewis acid to form a silicon amino bond (Si-N), enhancing the crosslinking and chemical stability of polyetheramine. And under the action of the supramolecular surfactant derived from cyclodextrin, it has high salt resistance. Therefore, the main application focus of the defoamer described in this patent is in the oilfield gas production field under the above high-salt environment. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Comparative Example 1: A commercially available oilfield gas production defoamer, whose main components are silicone, polyether, emulsifier, etc.

[0030] 1. Measure the defoaming and foam inhibition performance of the product prepared above under high-salt environment.

[0031] (1) The defoaming performance test method (circulating bubbling method) is as follows: Add the foaming liquid to the 500 mL circulating bubbling apparatus to the 100 mL scale. Start the instrument until the foam height rises to 400 mL, then add a certain amount of defoamer, and start the stopwatch at the same time to record the time taken for the foam to disappear.

[0032] (2) The foam inhibition performance test method (circulating bubbling method) is as follows: Start the circulating bubbling apparatus in (1) again, and observe the time required for the foam height to reach 400 mL again, which is the foam inhibition time of the defoamer.

[0033] 2. Defoaming and foam inhibition performance test: (1) Foaming liquid: Add 5% NaCl salt solution to 5% tubing slurry, and add 5% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate to the above mixture as the foaming liquid.

[0034] (2) Test method: Use the circulating bubbling method to test and observe the defoaming and foam inhibition effects.

[0035] The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0036] Table 1 Sample Defoaming time Anti-foaming time Example 1 2 min 4.5h Example 2 2.5 min 4h Comparative Example 1 5 min 2h 3. Defoaming and foam inhibition performance test: (1) Foaming liquid: Add 10% NaCl salt solution to 5% tubing slurry, and add 5% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate to the above mixture as the foaming liquid.

[0037] (2) Test method: Use the circulating bubbling method to test and observe the defoaming and foam inhibition effects.

[0038] (3) The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

[0039] Table 2 Sample Defoaming time Anti-foaming time Example 1 2.5 min 4h Example 2 3 min 3.5h Comparative Example 1 6.5 min 1.5h 4. Defoamer salt resistance test: (1) Take 5% tubing slurry as Liquid A, add 5% NaCl to 5% tubing slurry to get Liquid B, and add 10% NaCl to 5% tubing slurry to get Liquid C. Add 5% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate to the three slurries to form foam, and then add the defoamer prepared in Comparative Example 1. The influence of the defoamer on the density recovery rate is shown in Table 3.

[0040] (2) Test method: Use the circulating bubbling method for testing and observe the defoaming effect.

[0041] (3) The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0042] Table 3 As can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2, the defoamer of this patent application has good defoaming and foam inhibition effects in oilfield gas production, and is superior to the commercially available defoamer in Comparative Example 1. It can be seen from Table 3 that the defoamer has good defoaming effects in tubing slurry, 5% brine slurry and 10% brine slurry, and the density recovery rate is above 97%, indicating that the defoamer of this invention has good salt resistance and defoaming ability.

[0043] The comprehensive advantages of this invention also include: in the actual application scenario, the defoamer of this invention shows far better adaptability than traditional products. The oilfield gas production operation environment is complex and changeable. In addition to the challenge of high salinity, fluctuations in temperature and pressure are also very common.

[0044] The defoamer of this invention can still stably exert its defoaming and foam inhibition performance under different temperature and pressure conditions.

[0045] For example, in a high-temperature environment, the chemical bonds between hydrogen-containing silicone oil and polyamide polyether copolymer and their interactions with other components remain stable, and the defoaming performance will not decrease due to the increase in temperature; in a high-pressure environment, its molecular structure will not be damaged, and it can continuously and effectively inhibit the generation and growth of foam.

[0046] Due to its high defoaming performance, it can greatly reduce the equipment failure maintenance cost, downtime loss and additional gas production energy consumption caused by foam problems.

[0047] Traditional defoamers need to be added frequently to maintain a certain defoaming effect, while the defoamer of this invention has a relatively small addition amount and a long-lasting effect. Overall, it can save a large amount of operating costs for oilfield exploitation enterprises.

[0048] During the oilfield gas production process, it is inevitable that part of the defoamer will enter the surrounding environment along with the produced fluid.

[0049] The defoamer of this invention can be quickly decomposed by microorganisms in soil and water bodies, and will not accumulate residues for a long time. It has almost no negative impact on the surrounding ecological environment, such as the soil ecosystem and aquatic organisms, effectively protecting the ecological balance around the oilfield.

[0050] During the production process, strict raw material screening and precise reaction condition control ensure the consistency of the quality of each batch of defoamers.

[0051] By precisely controlling key parameters such as the hydrogen content of hydrogen-containing silicone oil, the type and proportion of polyamide-polyether copolymer, and strictly monitoring the reaction temperature, time, and pressure, the defoamers produced in different batches maintain high consistency in terms of defoaming performance, salt resistance, and stability, providing reliable quality assurance for oilfield gas production operations.

[0052] In summary, high-efficiency defoaming and foam suppression: The defoamer of the present invention has strong defoaming and foam suppression capabilities in a high-salt environment. By promoting the reaction of Si-H with polyetheramine through a Lewis acid to form a silicon amino bond (Si-N), enhancing the cross-linking and chemical stability of polyetheramine, and combining with a supramolecular surfactant derived from cyclodextrin, it can quickly inhibit foam generation and rapidly break foam. Experimental data shows that in the foaming liquid of 5% NaCl salt solution, the defoaming time of the defoamer in Example 1 is only 2 min, and the foam suppression time reaches 4.5 h, which is superior to the commercially available defoamers mainly composed of silicone, polyether, and emulsifier (defoaming time 5 min, foam suppression time 2 h), effectively solving the problem of foam accumulation in oilfield gas production.

[0053] Improving gas production efficiency: It effectively reduces the obstruction of foam to gas flow, reduces the energy consumption during gas production, and thus significantly improves the gas recovery efficiency of oilfields. The presence of foam will reduce gas flow and affect gas production efficiency, while this defoamer can quickly eliminate foam, ensuring smooth gas flow and bringing higher economic benefits to oilfield exploitation.

[0054] Reducing the risk of equipment failure: It reduces the adverse effects of foam on key gas production equipment such as pumping units and compressors, reduces the equipment operation load, and avoids equipment failures caused by excessive foam. For example, in actual gas production operations, a stable defoaming effect can enable the equipment to operate stably for a long time, extend the service life of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs and downtime, and ensure the continuity of gas production operations.

[0055] Good salt resistance: It can still maintain excellent defoaming performance in a high-salt environment, solving the problem of the failure of traditional defoamers in high-salt aqueous solutions. From the experimental data, in the foaming liquid of adding 10% NaCl salt solution to 5% tubing slurry, the density recovery rate of the defoamer of the present invention is above 97%, indicating that it can still effectively defoam at high salinity and has strong adaptability.

[0056] Environmental protection and safety: The defoamer of the present invention is non-toxic and harmless, meets the environmental protection standards, avoids pollution to the oilfield environment, and ensures the safety of production. During the oilfield exploitation process, it will not cause harm to the surrounding soil, water bodies and other environments, safeguards the ecological balance, and also creates a safer working environment for the staff.
