Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemical fracturing, and particularly relates to an anti-salt and antibacterial hydrophobic associating fracturing thickening agent and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas field exploration and development, fracturing technology is a crucial means for enhancing production. By injecting fracturing fluid into underground rock formations under high pressure, fractures are generated, thereby increasing the flow channels of oil and gas and improving the oil and gas recovery rate. However, with the in-depth development of oil and gas fields, the formation environment has become increasingly complex, and problems such as high temperature, high salt, and high pollution have gradually become challenges in fracturing operations. Therefore, developing a new type of fracturing fluid dry powder that not only has antibacterial properties but also can maintain stability in high-temperature and high-salt environments is of great significance for improving the efficiency of oil and gas field development and reducing development costs.
[0003] Traditional fracturing fluid dry powder mainly consists of polymers, crosslinking agents, breaker agents, etc. These materials can better meet the requirements of fracturing operations in conventional environments. However, in high-temperature and high-salt environments, polymers are prone to degradation and crosslinking agents are prone to failure in a bacterial environment, resulting in a decline in the performance of fracturing fluid and affecting the fracturing effect. In addition, due to the possible presence of bacteria and other microorganisms in the formation, they will decompose the organic matter in the fracturing fluid, leading to unstable performance of the fracturing fluid and even the generation of precipitates that block the fractures, seriously affecting the oil and gas recovery rate. When facing a large number of bacteria, a certain amount of strong oxidizing bactericide is generally added to the fracturing fluid. Although it can effectively sterilize, it will break the bacterial cells and generate a large number of disinfection by-products, polluting the water environment. On the other hand, the strong oxidizing bactericide will reduce the viscosity of the fracturing fluid to a certain extent.
[0004] The purpose of this research is to synthesize a new type of antibacterial, anti-salt, and anti-high-temperature fracturing fluid dry powder to meet the requirements of fracturing operations in complex formation environments. Through laboratory simulation experiments and on-site application tests, the performance and effect of the new type of fracturing fluid dry powder are verified. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the fracturing fluid has poor stability in high-temperature and high-salt environments, and when the fracturing fluid is transferred underground, it will be degraded by bacteria existing underground, resulting in a decrease in viscosity and even failure. Therefore, the present invention proposes a new type of thickening agent with anti-salt, anti-high-temperature, and antibacterial properties. When the fracturing fluid reaches underground, the fracturing fluid has good antibacterial properties to prevent bacteria from decomposing the fracturing fluid.
[0006] The present invention provides a preparation method for an anti-salt and antibacterial hydrophobic associating fracturing thickening agent, and the preparation method includes the following steps: 1. By mass parts, 190 - 300 parts of tetradecene or hexadecene or octadecene are subjected to a substitution reaction with 80 - 130 parts of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) or 100 - 150 parts of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to obtain 1-chloro-tetradecene or 1-chloro-hexadecene or 1-chloro-octadecene or 1-bromo-tetradecene or 1-bromo-hexadecene or 1-bromo-octadecene. Then, 20 - 35 parts of 1-chloro-tetradecene or 1-chloro-hexadecene or 1-chloro-octadecene or 1-bromo-tetradecene or 1-bromo-hexadecene or 1-bromo-octadecene are dissolved in 40 - 50 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide, and then transferred to a four-necked flask. Nitrogen is introduced, and then 7 - 8 parts of trimethylphosphine are dissolved in 10 - 12 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide and transferred to a constant-pressure dropping funnel. The four-necked flask is placed in an oil bath at 130 - 160 °C. Under nitrogen gas flow and magnetic stirring, trimethylphosphine is slowly dropped into the flask through the constant-pressure dropping funnel, and the reaction is carried out for 10 - 12 h. After the reaction is completed, the product is filtered by suction, and then the obtained product is extracted with n-hexane. After separation, it is placed in a vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain the quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer product.
[0007] 2. (1) Solution preparation: Pure water, acrylamide, acrylic acid, sodium hydroxide, quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer, and salt-resistant monomer are mixed and stirred evenly, and then frozen to -2 °C and transferred to a heat preservation kettle. (2) Nitrogen is introduced into the solution in the reaction kettle, and a complexing agent and a chain transfer agent are added. (3) After 12 minutes, an initiator is added. (4) After 5 minutes, an oxidant is added. (5) After 0.5 minute, a reducing agent is added. After the polymerization reaction starts, the nitrogen pipe is removed and nitrogen gas flow is stopped. (6) After the reaction is complete, it is aged for 2 h, and then granulated, dried, and ground.
[0008] The salt-resistant and antibacterial hydrophobic associating fracturing thickening agent of the present invention comprises the following components by mass parts: 1000 - 1100 parts of pure water, 220 - 280 parts of acrylamide, 50 - 80 parts of acrylic acid, 25 - 45 parts of sodium hydroxide, 2 - 5 parts of quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer, 40 - 50 parts of salt-resistant monomer, 0.01 - 0.02 parts of complexing agent, 0.01 - 0.06 parts of chain transfer agent, 0.2 - 0.5 parts of initiator, 0.002 - 0.006 parts of oxidant, and 0.002 - 0.006 parts of reducing agent.
[0009] The anti-salt monomer is one of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and N-vinylpyrrolidone, the complexing agent is one of sodium citrate, sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid sodium salt, the chain transfer agent is one of sodium hypophosphite and sodium methallylsulfonate, the initiator is one or more of azodiisobutylamidine hydrochloride and azodiisobutimidazoline hydrochloride, the oxidant is one of tert-butyl hydroperoxide and sodium persulfate, and the reducing agent is one of ammonium ferrous sulfate and sodium metabisulfite.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following benefits: (1) By copolymerizing a quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer, an anti-salt monomer, acrylamide and acrylic acid, the present invention obtains an anti-salt and antibacterial hydrophobic associating fracturing thickening agent, which has good anti-salt and high-temperature resistance capabilities, has a relatively high viscosity in high salinity brine and relatively high stability.
[0011] (2) Thanks to the high antibacterial ability of the quaternary phosphonium salt, when the thickening agent reaches underground, it can effectively remove bacteria in formation water, and the thickening agent can kill bacteria without breaking bacterial cells, effectively reducing the outflow of substances inside bacterial cells. On the one hand, it reduces the influence of the outflow of the surfactant contained in the cells on the viscosity of the thickening agent, and on the other hand, it reduces the pollution to groundwater.

After the polymerization reaction starts, remove the nitrogen tube and stop passing nitrogen; (6) After the reaction is complete, cure for 2 h, then granulate, dry, and grind. The reaction process is as follows: .
[0026] Comparative Example 1: Comparative Example 1 is basically the same as Example 1, except that: when preparing the solution, the quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer is replaced with cetyl dimethyl allyl ammonium chloride.
[0027] Comparative Example 2: Comparative Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that when synthesizing polyacrylamide, the quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer is not added, and when preparing the thickener, 10 parts of the quaternary phosphonium salt hydrophobic monomer are added as a bactericide.
[0028] Comparative Example 3: Comparative Example 3 is basically the same as Comparative Example 2, except that when preparing the thickener, 3% hydrogen peroxide is added as a bactericide.
[0029] Test Example: Evaluate the performance of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3.
[0030] (1) Thickening property: Preparation of 40000 salinity brine: Accurately weigh 6.93 g of calcium chloride, 4.67 g of magnesium chloride, 21.07 g of sodium sulfate, and 47.33 g of sodium chloride respectively, and then dilute to 2 L with pure water to obtain 40000 salinity brine.
[0031] The samples of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were respectively prepared into solutions with mass fractions of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6% and 0.7% using brine with a salinity of 40,000, and the original solution of Bacillus was added to the thickener solution to make the bacterial concentration in the thickener solution reach 10 5 CFU / mL. After stirring, dissolving and standing for 30 min, the viscosities were measured respectively. The specific results are shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the results indicate that for Examples 1-6, due to the presence of quaternary phosphonium salts in the thickener, there is a significant antibacterial effect, and the longer the carbon chain, the higher the viscosity at the same concentration. For Comparative Example 1, as the concentration of the thickener increases, the viscosity increases very slowly, indicating that bacteria have an obvious impact on the thickener, showing that quaternary ammonium salts have a weak resistance to Bacillus. The reason for the obvious decrease in viscosity in Comparative Example 2 is that when preparing the thickener, a quaternary phosphonium salt monomer is added again. Although it has an antibacterial effect, the quaternary phosphonium salt monomer, as a surfactant, affects the viscosity of the thickener. The viscosity of Comparative Example 3 increases steadily with the increase in concentration, indicating that the bactericide has an obvious effect on Bacillus, and there is no obvious phenomenon that bacteria affect the viscosity of the thickener
[0032] (2) Viscosity and retention rate at high temperature: To balance the viscosity and dissolution performance, a dosage concentration of 0.4% was selected, and then the viscosities of different thickeners at 60 °C were measured respectively. The results are shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the results indicate that the viscosity retention rates of Examples 1-6 at 60 °C are all above 60%, indicating that in addition to good antibacterial and salt resistance properties, Examples 1-6 also have good high-temperature resistance. Due to the poor antibacterial ability of the thickener in Comparative Example 1, and the quaternary phosphonium salt added alone in Comparative Example 2, as a surfactant, affects the viscosity of the thickener at high temperature, so the viscosity retention rate at high temperature is very low. The viscosity retention rate of Comparative Example 3 is slightly lower than that of the examples because hydrogen peroxide has a degradation effect on the thickener at high temperature
[0033] (3) Sand-carrying performance: 0.8 g of the samples of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were respectively weighed and dissolved in 199.2 g of brine, and the original solution of Bacillus was added to make the bacterial content in the thickener solution reach 10 5 CFU / mL. After dissolution and standing for 30 min, 100 mL was taken and placed in a 250 mL beaker, 0.4 mL of a crosslinking agent (such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, etc.) and 25 mL of fine sand (20-40 mesh) were added. After stirring evenly, it was transferred to a graduated cylinder, and the sedimentation rate of the fine sand was observed and recorded. The specific results are shown in the following figure, as shown in the appendix Figure 3As shown, Examples 1-6 have good antibacterial and salt resistance properties, can fully react with the crosslinking agent, and have good proppant-carrying performance. In Comparative Example 1, the viscosity of the thickening agent was affected by bacteria, and the effect was significantly reduced, and it could not produce a strong crosslinking effect with the crosslinking agent. In Comparative Example 2, due to the absence of hydrophobic monomers, it was difficult to produce a crosslinking effect with the crosslinking agent, so the proppant-carrying ability was poor. The bactericide in Comparative Example 3 had a significant effect on bacteria, and the thickening agent and the crosslinking agent could act effectively. Therefore, the proppant-carrying ability was significantly better than that of Comparative Examples 1-2.
[0034] (4)Antibacterial performance: To further understand the antibacterial ability of the thickening agents of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 against Bacillus subtilis, we separately weighed 0.8 g of the samples of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 and dissolved them in 199.2 g of brine, and added the original Bacillus subtilis solution to make the bacterial content in the thickening agent solution reach 10 5 CFU / mL. After dissolution, it was left standing for 30 min, and the bacterial content in different thickening agents was detected respectively. The results are as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the results show that the thickening agents containing quaternary phosphonium salts in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 2 have strong antibacterial ability against Bacillus subtilis, the remaining bacteria count is less than 5000 CFU / mL, and the removal rate of bacteria is as high as about 95%. However, the thickening agent in Comparative Example 1 has poor antibacterial ability and cannot effectively antibacterial. Comparative Example 3 added a bactericide, further improving the bactericidal effect, and the removal rate of bacteria reached about 98%.
[0035] (5)Content of disinfection by-products: Although the bactericide has a significant removal rate of Bacillus subtilis, the bactericide directly breaks the bacterial cells to carry out sterilization, which will cause the substances inside the bacterial cells to flow out, generating disinfection by-products to pollute the formation water. The quaternary phosphonium salt thickening agent can sterilize without breaking the bacterial cells, so it can effectively reduce the generation of disinfection by-products. We detected some typical disinfection by-products of the thickening agents of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The results are as shown in the appendix Figure 5 As shown, taking the content of disinfection by-products produced in Comparative Example 3 as 100%, the content of disinfection by-products produced in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 2 is extremely low, effectively reducing the pollution of the formation water. In Comparative Example 1, the quaternary ammonium salt thickening agent damaged the bacterial cells to a certain extent, resulting in the generation of medium disinfection by-products, while Comparative Example 3 using the bactericide produced a large amount of disinfection by-products, which was easy to pollute the formation water.
