Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a small-size high-viscosity microemulsion pressure drive integrated system and application, and belongs to the technical field of efficient oilfield exploitation. BACKGROUND

[0002] China is rich in unconventional oil and gas resources, and the potential is huge. Efficient development of unconventional oil and gas resources has important strategic significance for guaranteeing China's oil and gas safety and optimizing energy structure. However, the geological conditions of unconventional oil and gas are complex, and the reservoir properties are generally poor, which determines that fracturing reconstruction is a necessary measure for industrialized exploitation of oil and gas. The "after-life injury" feature also puts forward strict reservoir protection requirements for reconstruction operations. Conventional water-based fracturing fluid has the characteristics of stratum adsorption, incomplete gel breaking, high residue content, difficult flowback, and the like, and is easy to cause blockage and pollution of porous media, cracks and support agent filling layer, and reduce the permeability, resulting in poor exploitation effect of oil and gas production layer after fracturing, and even cannot produce normally. Therefore, it is urgent to study a reasonable development method for supplementing stratum energy and improving recovery after fracturing development.

[0003] At present, the fracturing-energy-increasing-displacement integrated technology is considered as an important technical means for efficient development of unconventional oil reservoirs, and needs to meet the requirements of "small amount, strong drag reduction, high oil displacement, and low damage" of the pressure drive process. Displacement is a continuous energy supplementing method, especially the chemical displacement system with a size of nanometer, which can combine displacement with imbibition mechanism, can effectively expand the microcosmic swept volume of unconventional oil reservoirs, improve the oil displacement efficiency, and effectively reduce and resolve the water-out and injection failure risks, and is a good follow-up development method for unconventional reservoirs such as tight oil and shale oil. However, for the complex geological conditions of low-permeability and ultra-low-permeability tight oil reservoirs, the chemical oil displacement system which has been applied on a large scale in conventional oil reservoirs has encountered serious challenges, such as serious loss of adsorption, retention and precipitation of surfactants in the migration process, greatly reduced migration distance and oil displacement effect, and the like, which makes the original technical advantages of the chemical oil displacement system unable to effectively play. Therefore, a new pressure drive integrated system which can break through these limitations must be developed to meet the actual application of unconventional oil reservoirs.

[0004] The emergence of microemulsion brings new progress to the integration technology of water flooding and chemical flooding in unconventional reservoirs. Microemulsion is a kind of isotropic, thermodynamically stable, transparent or translucent highly dispersed system formed spontaneously by two immiscible liquids of oil phase and water phase under the action of surfactant and co-surfactant. The particle size of microemulsion is generally 1-100 nm, which has high surface activity, good solubilization and wetting capacity. The formation and arrangement of internal micelles can significantly reduce the adsorption loss of surfactant. In addition, microemulsion also has good viscosity and imbibition function, which can break through the application limit of traditional chemical flooding in unconventional reservoirs, and is expected to become a replacement chemical flooding technology to realize the integration of water flooding and chemical flooding. The results of indoor core imbibition experiment and field huff and puff test have confirmed that microemulsion can effectively improve the imbibition recovery of ultra-low permeability-dense reservoirs, which shows its great development potential in the field of unconventional EOR.

[0005] Currently, anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants are mainly used to prepare microemulsion for oil displacement. The mixture of equimolar cationic and anionic surfactants can be used to prepare alcohol-free microemulsion, which reduces environmental problems. However, for sandstone reservoirs, due to the negative charge on the rock surface, cationic surfactants are less used for oil displacement, and there are few related literatures in the oil and gas industry. Table 1 lists the viscosity and particle size of microemulsion for oil displacement reported in the literature. It can be found that the existing systems cannot simultaneously meet the small particle size (≤10 nm) and high viscosity characteristics (≥50 mPa·s), which cannot meet the requirements of the integration of water flooding and chemical flooding in low permeability, ultra-low permeability-dense reservoirs. How to improve the viscosity characteristics (≥50 mPa·s) while maintaining the small droplet (≤10 nm) characteristics of microemulsion, increase the scanning volume in micro-nano pore throat, and improve the permeability and displacement efficiency in micro-nano pore matrix, is a major technical problem that needs to be broken through to realize the integration of water flooding and chemical flooding in unconventional reservoirs.

[0006] Table 1 Particle size and viscosity of microemulsion system for oil displacement reported in the literature

[0007]

[0008] The formation and phase transition process of microemulsion depends on the curvature energy (bending energy) of the surfactant oil-water interface film, and its phase behavior is influenced by a variety of factors, important influencing factors are the molecular properties of the surfactant, pressure, temperature, salinity, the application of co-surfactant or cosolvent, water-oil ratio, pH and the properties of the oil. The viscosity of microemulsion can be controlled by the type of hydrocarbon, the type of surfactant, the concentration of electrolyte, the amount of water and the co-surfactant. Due to the rapid development of the surfactant industry, the traditional surfactant has been unable to meet the needs of people's research and application, and the new type of amphiphilic molecules, especially the high molecular surfactant, has become a research hotspot because of its unique properties. Its unique solution aggregation behavior and rheological behavior make it have a wide application prospect in oil and gas fracturing, profile control and water plugging, medical carriers, daily necessities and water treatment industries. The self-assembly of amphiphilic high molecular surfactant is one of the important means to obtain highly ordered structure on the nanometer scale by "bottom-up" method. As a self-assembly building unit, it can be used to grow one-dimensional or two-dimensional nano-micro self-assembly morphology by using crystallization driving, electrostatic interaction and cross-linking interaction as driving force. Therefore, the base material for synthesizing microemulsion for oil displacement is upgraded from conventional surfactant to amphiphilic high molecular surfactant, and the synthesis of amphiphilic high molecular surfactant with controllable hydrophilic and lipophilic groups is introduced into the preparation of microemulsion, which is a key way to realize the small size characteristics of microemulsion and improve its viscosity characteristics, and to obtain a conventional oil reservoir displacement and integration system.

[0052] Example 2: Preparation of a small-sized, high-viscosity microemulsion hydraulically driven integrated system

[0053] The raw material composition of the small-size, high-viscosity microemulsion hydraulic drive integrated system, by weight percentage:

[0054] Example 1 synthesized an amphiphilic polymeric surfactant of 2.25 wt%, a co-surfactant n-butanol of 5.75 wt%, tap water of 46.00 wt%, and white oil of 46.00 wt%.

[0055] The small-sized, high-viscosity microemulsion hydraulic drive integrated system of this embodiment was prepared through the following steps:

[0056] The amphiphilic polymeric surfactant synthesized in Example 1 was mixed evenly with the oil and aqueous phases, and then a co-surfactant was added dropwise until a clear, transparent, and pale blue mid-phase microemulsion was obtained. Figure 1 (Figure a) shows particles with a diameter of 7–9 nm. At 60°C, the shear rate is 170 s⁻¹. -1 Under a shearing condition of 3600 s, the viscosity remained essentially constant within the shearing time range, maintaining a viscosity of approximately 50 mPa·s. Figure 2 (middle curve a).

[0057] The fracturing fluid undergoes a series of processes upon entering the formation: filtration loss, well-sealing and adsorption, and displacement. In the early stages of the experiment, the core sample needs to be saturated with simulated oil: (1) Simulated filtration loss stage: The fracturing fluid filtration rate is set to 0.1 mL / min, and the temperature to 60℃. The filtration pressure changes are recorded in real time during the filtration process. (2) Simulated well-sealing and adsorption stage: After filtration is complete, the valves on both sides of the clamp are closed, allowing the filtrate to remain in the core sample for a period of time to simulate well-sealing. (3) Simulated displacement stage: At the same temperature and flow rate, the fracturing fluid is used for reverse displacement, and the hydrogen signal intensity and pressure changes inside the core are recorded in real time. The oil recovery rate is calculated based on the changes in hydrogen signal intensity inside the core.

[0058] Further analysis of the final recovery rate of each working fluid system showed that the final recovery rate of the small-size high-viscosity microemulsion hydraulic drive integrated system was 38.6%.
