Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield exploitation, relates to a high-compressive epoxy formulation system, also relates to a preparation method of the above high-compressive epoxy formulation system, and also relates to an application of the above high-compressive epoxy formulation system. Background Art

[0002] In the exploitation mode of loose formations, sand grains migrate into the wellbore along with production fluids such as oil, gas, and water, and this phenomenon is called sand production. Sand production in oil and gas wells will bury the oil reservoir sand and block the tubing with sand, accelerate the abrasion of downhole equipment, tools, etc. When it is serious, it will cause the bottom hole to collapse, damage the casing, stop the production of the oil well, affect the production, and greatly increase the downhole operation volume and oil production cost. Sand production has become a common problem in sandstone reservoirs and is also a major challenge in the petroleum industry.

[0003] In order to reduce the risk of sand production in oil wells, sand control technologies need to be adopted to ensure the normal production of oil wells. Currently, the commonly used sand control methods in oilfields can be divided into two categories: mechanical methods and chemical methods. In mechanical methods, devices such as slotted liners, gravel packs, or wire-wrapped screens are used to prevent sand grains from being transported from the formation to the wellbore. Since the special devices used in this method will be damaged over time, need to be repaired and are not durable, as the water cut in the oil well continuously increases, the formation sand production becomes more and more serious, and the migration of fine silt and clay in the oil reservoir makes the near-wellbore area and the sand control layer gradually blocked, and simple mechanical sand control cannot meet the requirements.

[0004] In chemical methods, fluids are injected into the formation to bond the loose sand grains together, and finally a stable matrix is formed in the nearby wellbore. The main purpose of this method is to increase the compressive strength of sand grains through the adhesion force of the fluid and prevent the absolute permeability from decreasing due to the injection of chemical fluids. A major challenge in current chemical sand consolidation technologies is usually an inverse relationship between strength and permeability. When using polymer resins, the permeability usually decreases by 30 - 50%. Achieving an appropriate balance between compressive strength and permeability through optimizing materials and additives has always been the focus of researchers.

[0005] In existing chemical sand consolidation, epoxy resins are widely used due to advantages such as low cost, high adhesion, and low curing rate. However, the epoxy resin system for sand consolidation has disadvantages such as high viscosity and reduced initial permeability. Solvents need to be used or the resin concentration needs to be reduced to maintain low viscosity. However, using solvents or reducing the resin concentration often leads to a significant reduction in compressive strength. To ensure strength, nanoparticles such as silica, alumina, or quartz sand are often used in epoxy resins to increase the compressive strength. However, the surface of this type of nanoparticle does not have any active functional groups to form covalent bonds with the polymer resin matrix, resulting in low strength and durability. If the dispersion is uneven, it will even reduce the permeability, and it is difficult to simultaneously meet the strength and permeability of the sand consolidant. Summary of the Invention
