Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oilfield crude oil exploitation, and specifically relates to a degradable temporary plugging agent material, a preparation method thereof, an application and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] China is rich in low-permeability oil and gas resources, and hydraulic fracturing is an important measure for exploiting such resources. However, as production progresses, the failure of hydraulic fractures will lead to a decline in oil and gas production. Chemical temporary plugging and diversion fracturing is one of the important methods to restore and increase the production of low-permeability oil and gas. The temporary plugging agent can block the high-permeability layer, forcing the fracturing fluid to divert, and realizing the fracturing transformation of the remaining oil accumulation area. Due to the disadvantages of traditional mechanical diversion technologies such as high construction risks, high costs, and long cycles, in recent years, chemical diversion technologies have become the mainstream methods for repeated fracturing of oil and gas wells, and temporary plugging agents have been widely used in this technology. The temporary plugging agent can block the mouth of the original fracture and the perforation holes, forming a high-strength filter cake, thereby generating a higher net fracture pressure, forcing the subsequent fracturing fluid not to flow into the original fracture, but promoting it to flow to the area where the remaining oil accumulates and generating new hydraulic fractures, thereby increasing the oil and gas drainage area. Compared with temporary plugging agents for other uses, the temporary plugging agent for fracturing has the characteristics of stronger pressure-bearing capacity, lower formation damage, and more controllable temporary plugging time.

[0003] The temporary plugging agents and materials for oilfield fracturing mainly include inert inorganic solid temporary plugging agents (such as silica powder, rock salt, plugging balls, calcium carbonate powder, etc.) and inert organic resin temporary plugging agents (such as oil-soluble resins, water-soluble polymer gels, etc.). However, the above-mentioned fracturing temporary plugging agents all need to be unblocked by acid dissolution, oil dissolution, or water dissolution subsequently to release the original gaps in the formation. On-site application requires supporting unblocking equipment, and there are easily incomplete and thorough unblocking situations, causing damage to the reservoir formation, which seriously restricts the application and promotion of the fracturing temporary plugging technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a self-degradable fracturing temporary plugging agent material with high temporary plugging strength, simple temporary plugging process, and reduced formation damage to support the development of oilfield fracturing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a degradable temporary plugging agent material and a preparation method thereof. Compared with the existing temporary plugging agent materials for oilfield fracturing, the temperature and salt resistance performance and its compressive capacity are improved, the original gaps can be effectively blocked, and after playing the temporary plugging role, it can be completely degraded autonomously without unblocking, realizing fracturing diversion and improving the single-well production capacity.

[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of the present invention, the first aspect of the present invention provides a degradable temporary plugging agent material, comprising the following components:

[0006] Polyglycolic acid, an emulsifier, and a thickener;

[0007] Among them, based on the total weight of the degradable temporary plugging agent material, the content of polyglycolic acid is 20-95 wt%, the content of emulsifier is 4-70 wt%, and the content of thickener is 0.5-50 wt%.

[0008] The second aspect of the present invention provides a preparation method of a degradable temporary plugging agent material, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) Add the thickener to the brine and stir well to form a stable polymer viscous fluid;

[0010] (2) Add the emulsifier to the polymer viscous fluid obtained in step (1) and stir well to form a stable polymer viscous emulsion;

[0011] (3) Add polyglycolic acid to the polymer viscous emulsion obtained in step (2) and stir well to form a stable suspension emulsion-like degradable temporary plugging agent material;

[0012] The addition amounts of the thickener, emulsifier and polyglycolic acid are such that in the degradable temporary plugging agent material, based on the total weight of the thickener, emulsifier and polyglycolic acid, the content of polyglycolic acid is 20-95 wt%, preferably 30-90 wt%, the content of emulsifier is 4-70 wt%, preferably 8-65 wt%, and the content of thickener is 0.5-50 wt%, preferably 1-50 wt%.

[0013] The third aspect of the present invention provides a degradable temporary plugging agent material prepared by the described preparation method.

[0014] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides the application of the described degradable temporary plugging agent material in oilfield fracturing.

[0015] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides a construction method of the described degradable temporary plugging agent material for use in oilfield fracturing, comprising the following steps:

[0016] (1) Prepare a suspension emulsion according to the described preparation method;

[0017] (2) Mix the suspension emulsion and the crosslinking agent evenly and inject them into the oil well of the oilfield; based on the total weight of the suspension emulsion and the crosslinking agent, the addition amount of the crosslinking agent is 10-150 ppm, preferably 20-100 ppm.

[0018] The degradable temporary plugging agent material and its preparation method of the present invention have the following advantages and effects compared with the prior art:

[0019] (1) The degradable temporary plugging agent material of the present invention includes polyglycolic acid, an emulsifier, and a thickener, and can form a novel composite temporary plugging agent of particles and gel. Compared with the existing temporary plugging agent materials for oilfield fracturing, its temperature and salt resistance performance and compressive capacity are improved, effectively plugging the original gaps, and it can be completely degraded autonomously after playing the temporary plugging role without the need for unplugging, realizing fracture diversion and enhancing the single-well production capacity.

[0020] (2) In the present invention, a sulfonic acid-based polymer is preferably used as the thickener, which can significantly increase the viscosity of the temporary plugging system, making the polyglycolic acid particles evenly dispersed in the three-dimensional space system of polymer chain entanglement. Moreover, the sulfonic acid groups in the polymer can enhance the temperature and salt resistance of the system, and under the combined action of the emulsifier, it can cooperate with the polyglycolic acid particles to prevent agglomeration and adhesion between the particles, greatly improving the suspension stability, injectability, and sand-carrying capacity of the particles.

[0021] (3) In the present invention, during the injection of the temporary plugging system into the formation, under the action of the high temperature (130 °C) of the reservoir, the crosslinking agent and the sulfonic acid-based polymer can achieve rapid crosslinking within 30 minutes to form a mobile gel, further enhancing the temporary plugging and compressive capacity of the temporary plugging material under high-temperature reservoir conditions.

[0022] (4) In the present invention, the polyglycolic acid particles (100 - 200 μm) are insensitive to the salinity of formation water, have strong salt resistance, high particle impact strength, and large compressive strength, playing a role in supporting temporary plugging. When the polyglycolic acid particles are injected into the formation cracks, they will degrade autonomously under high-temperature and high-salt reservoir conditions, and the plugging reduction rate is greater than 98% after 12 hours, without the need for unplugging, causing no pollution or damage to the formation, which is beneficial to the reservoir formation transformation.

[0023] (5) In the present invention, the added emulsifier and sulfonic acid-based polymer also do not need to be back-produced, and can enter the water flooding fluid together with the subsequent injected water, increasing the viscosity of the water phase, reducing the oil-water mobility ratio, and can emulsify with the crude oil, improving the oil washing efficiency and displacement efficiency, and further improving the crude oil recovery rate. Therefore, the degradable temporary plugging agent material of the present invention can provide technical support for acid fracturing and reservoir formation transformation under high oil prices.
