Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sand control in oil and gas field development, and particularly relates to a self-assembled nano anti-swelling sand control agent, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Maintaining the stable seepage capacity of the reservoir is the key to the efficient development of highly argillaceous unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs. However, due to poor diagenesis and strong sensitivity of reservoir minerals, under factors such as high liquid production intensity and incompatibility of the fluid entering the well, reservoir fine particles are prone to expand and migrate, resulting in a decrease in the reservoir seepage capacity and low liquid production of oil wells.

[0003] Performing reservoir anti-swelling and sand inhibition pretreatment during sand control operations is an important means to solve the above problems, and the technical key lies in achieving a balance among efficient anti-swelling, sand control, and maintaining the reservoir seepage capacity.

[0004] Cationic polymers are currently widely used anti-swelling and sand inhibition systems. For example, Chinese invention patent CN 106753283B discloses a compound oil reservoir anti-swelling and sand inhibition agent, which is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20-30 parts of epichlorohydrin-trimethylamine polymer, 20-30 parts of cationic polyacrylamide, 20-30 parts of polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride, 37.5 parts of ammonium chloride, 3.75 parts of dibutyl phthalate, 2.27-2.75 parts of hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine, 1.0-1.25 parts of triethylenetetramine, 5-10 parts of graphite powder, 1-4 parts of methyl methacrylate, 2-5 parts of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, 2-5 parts of N-pentamethylene dithiocarbamate-zinc piperidine complex, and 5-10 parts of titanate coupling agent.

[0005] Another example is Chinese invention patent application CN105820808A, which discloses an anti-sand and anti-swelling agent and a preparation method thereof. The anti-sand and anti-swelling agent is compounded from an organic amine salt with an anti-swelling function and a terpolymer with an anti-sand function, and can effectively prevent clay swelling and fine silt sand production.

[0006] Although cationic polymers are widely used as anti-swelling and sand inhibition agents, there are still deficiencies: 1. The molecular weights are generally relatively high, which has a greater impact on the reservoir seepage capacity; 2. Cationic polymers mainly rely on electrostatic action to stabilize clay and fine silt sand, and the sand control performance is weak; 3. The components of the compound system are complex, and there is a chromatographic separation phenomenon during the migration in the reservoir, making it difficult to achieve uniform protection of the entire layer section.

[0007] Chinese invention patent CN111100290B discloses a preparation method of a vegetable oil asphalt cationic amide resin with dual functions of anti-swelling and sand control. The specific steps are as follows: (1) Vegetable oil asphalt and diamine react under the conditions of a catalyst and nitrogen protection at 90 °C and normal pressure for 2.0 hours; the temperature is raised to 200 °C and reacted at a pressure of 1.5 MPa for 2 hours; the pressure in the reaction kettle is reduced to normal pressure within 2 hours and then evacuated to carry out a decompression reaction for 1 hour to obtain an amide resin; (2) The vegetable oil asphalt amide resin is dissolved in xylene, and an excessive amount of methyl iodide or ethyl iodide or chloroethane or bromopropane is added dropwise and stirred at 90 °C for reaction; the product is washed with acetone and the solvent is evaporated to obtain a vegetable oil asphalt cationic amide resin. Compared with the conventional cationic polymer system, the anti-swelling and sand control ability of the vegetable oil asphalt cationic amide resin is greatly enhanced, and the chromatographic separation phenomenon in the reservoir migration process of the compound system is avoided. However, the above technical solutions have the following deficiencies: 1. The vegetable oil asphalt cationic amide resin needs to be dispersed in an organic solvent for use, with a low flash point and poor construction safety; 2. The organic solvent is volatile and has a great harm to the environment; 3. The molecular weights of resin products are generally high, which has a great impact on the reservoir seepage capacity.
