Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of blowout preventer protection parts for drilling, and particularly relates to an oil-resistant rotary rubber core and a preparation method thereof. Background Technique

[0002] Underbalanced drilling technology is a drilling technology that can improve drilling exploration and efficiency, and is one of the essential technologies in oil and gas resource development. So-called underbalanced drilling means that during the drilling process, the circulating pressure of the drilling fluid is lower than the pore pressure of the formation, keeping a slight overflow at the bottom of the well, allowing the formation fluid to flow into the wellbore, and it can be circulated to the ground and effectively controlled on the ground. This technology is called underbalanced pressure drilling technology. Compared with conventional drilling technology, the main advantages of underbalanced drilling are that it can reduce formation damage and increase the productivity of oil wells. For exploration wells, implementing underbalanced drilling can produce good productivity shows and provide conditions for correctly evaluating reservoirs. In addition, using underbalanced drilling can also increase the mechanical drilling rate and reduce or prevent differential sticking. The equipment required for implementing underbalanced drilling mainly includes: wellhead control equipment and surface treatment equipment. Among them, the wellhead control equipment mainly refers to the rotating control head or the rotating blowout preventer, which together with the original annular blowout preventer, ram blowout preventer, four-way joint, etc. form the wellhead blowout preventer group. Its function is to control the pressure of the oil and gas well, prevent, monitor, and control accidents, and ensure the safety of drilling personnel, drilling equipment, and oil and gas wells. The performance of the rotating control head or the rotating blowout preventer will directly affect the success or failure of the underbalanced construction of the oil and gas well. Once a failure occurs during the construction process, serious drilling accidents such as blowout may occur. One of the key components of the rotating control head or the rotating blowout preventer is the rotary rubber core, which is mainly used in the rotating blowout preventer to achieve the sealing and protection of the wellhead. Its functions include: (1) Sealing function: During the drilling process, the rotary rubber core can effectively cooperate closely with the drill string to form a good seal to prevent the leakage of well fluid and gas; (2) Withstand high pressure: The rotary rubber core can work normally under high pressure conditions to ensure that the blowout preventer can be closed in time when a blowout occurs and protect the operation safety; (3) Adapt to rotation: Since the drill string needs to rotate during the drilling process, the design of the rotary rubber core enables it to maintain good sealing performance in the rotating state and avoid seal failure caused by rotation. The mud medium acting on the rotary rubber core is a mixture composed of oil, gas, water, drill cuttings, and high molecular compounds, containing abrasive fine particles, which requires the rotary rubber core to have good oil resistance, wear resistance, and relatively high strength, etc.

[0003] Patent CN112480497A discloses a composition for preparing a rubber material, a rubber material, a preparation method thereof, and a blowout preventer. The composition of this invention uses nitrile rubber, a modified resin, silica, a vulcanization activator, a vulcanizing agent, and a vulcanization accelerator as raw materials. The modified resin modified by a silane coupling agent can combine with silica. The double bonds contained in the modified resin undergo a vulcanization cross-linking reaction, and cross-linking reactions occur between the modified resins to form a rigid resin cross-linking network. Cross-linking reactions occur between the modified resin and the nitrile rubber to form an interpenetrating cross-linking network, which can effectively increase the hardness and modulus of the rubber, and at the same time improve the oil resistance and heat swelling resistance.

[0004] Patent CN104530508A discloses a core material for a rubber and a preparation method thereof. This invention uses nitrile rubber, high abrasion furnace black, semi-reinforcing furnace black, graphene composite material, ultrafine fluidized powder, stearic acid, dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, a promoter, and an antioxidant as raw materials. By using the ultrafine fluidized powder and the graphene composite material obtained after modification, the uniform dispersion of graphene is achieved, and the abrasion resistance and hardness of the core are improved.

[0005] Patent CN115716949A discloses an oil-resistant core material for a rubber, an oil-resistant core for a rubber, a preparation method thereof, and an application. This invention uses a rubber matrix, carbon black, a vulcanizing agent, an antioxidant, a promoter, a plasticizer, a lubricant, and a heat-conducting material as raw materials, so that the prepared core for a rubber has good oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and other properties.

[0006] The rotary core for a rubber used in the drilling process needs to have oil resistance. The above-mentioned inventions all use nitrile rubber with excellent oil resistance as the matrix. However, due to the poor mechanical properties of nitrile rubber, in actual use, it is often necessary to improve its mechanical properties by additionally adding reinforcing fillers such as carbon black and silica. However, due to reasons such as the fine particle size, large specific surface area, and easy electrostatic attraction of the reinforcing fillers, the reinforcing fillers are prone to agglomeration and uneven distribution, resulting in poor improvement of mechanical properties, and it is necessary to strictly control the preparation conditions and addition ratios.

[0007] Therefore, it is of great significance to design a rotary core for a rubber that can improve the uniform dispersion of the reinforcing filler to achieve oil resistance and good mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The carboxyl-modified carbon black, glycol derivative, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 3:3 to 4:0.5 to 0.8 and reacted in a temperature environment of 20°C to 25°C for 20 h to 24 h to obtain hydroxyl-modified carbon black;

[0017] The hydroxyl-modified carbon black, acrylic acid derivative, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 3:4 to 5:0.8 to 1 and reacted in a temperature environment of 20°C to 25°C for 20 h to 24 h to obtain acrylic acid derivative-modified carbon black;

The mixed emulsion is mixed with a radical initiator and heated to 60°C to 70°C and reacted for 3 h to 5 h, and then a polymerization inhibitor is added and the reaction is controlled at 30°C to 40°C for 20 min to 30 min to obtain the carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber.

[0019] Furthermore, the mass concentration of the nitric acid solution is 50% - 60%.

[0029] The second object of the present invention is to provide a rotary rubber core prepared by the preparation method of a rotary rubber core with oil resistance.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] In the present invention, the reinforcing filler carbon black is subjected to oxidation treatment to obtain functional groups carboxyl groups on its surface, and then condensed and esterified with glycol derivatives, so that functional groups hydroxyl groups are loaded on the surface of the carbon black, and then hydroxyl-modified carbon black is obtained. Then, through an esterification reaction, the hydroxyl-modified carbon black and an acrylic acid derivative are condensed through the carboxyl group and the hydroxyl group, and the carbon-carbon double bond in the structure of the acrylic acid derivative is introduced onto the surface of the carbon black to obtain acrylic acid derivative-modified carbon black with a carbon-carbon double bond functional group. Then, the acrylic acid derivative-modified carbon black is subjected to a polymerization reaction with methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate under the action of a radical initiator, so that the carbon black is introduced into the polyacrylate raw rubber through a chemical reaction to obtain carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber. Compared with the adverse effect that directly adding carbon black easily causes agglomeration, the modified carbon black is dispersed in the polyacrylate raw rubber through a chemical reaction, which not only enhances the dispersibility of the carbon black in the polyacrylate raw rubber, but also improves the binding force with the polyacrylate raw rubber. Finally, it is crosslinked with nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber containing a high content of acrylonitrile through a vulcanization system. By utilizing the characteristic that a high content of acrylonitrile in nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber can improve the oil resistance, through the synergistic cooperation of carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber, nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber, while further improving the oil resistance of the rubber, the mechanical properties of the rubber are improved, so that the finally prepared rotary rubber core not only has good oil resistance, but also has good toughness, wear resistance and tensile strength.

Subsequently, continuously introduce nitrogen into the reaction flask for 10 min to 15 min to completely expel the air in the reaction flask. Then place the reaction flask in an ultrasonic cleaner and disperse it with an ultrasonic power of 300 W for 25 min. Subsequently, place it in an oil bath at 100 °C and heat it for reaction for 20 h. After the reaction is completed, naturally cool it to room temperature, then filter and separate to collect the particles, and repeatedly rinse the particles with deionized water until the pH of the rinsing water reaches neutral.

Then raise the temperature to 70 °C and stir and react at a speed of 500 r / min for 5 h. After the reaction is completed, lower the temperature to 40 °C, then add 2.21 parts by weight of N-isopropylhydroxylamine and stir and react for 30 min.

[0103] Comparative Example 2:

[0104] The preparation of an oil-resistant rotary rubber core specifically includes the following process:

[0105] Replace the carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber in Example 6 with the carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber obtained in Preparation Example 8, and keep the other conditions the same as those in Example 6.

[0106] Comparative Example 3:

[0107] The preparation of an oil-resistant rotary rubber core specifically includes the following process:

[0108] Replace the carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber in Example 6 with the silica-modified polyacrylate raw rubber obtained in Preparation Example 9, and keep the other conditions the same as those in Example 6.

[0109] According to the standards of "GB / T 531.1-2008 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of indentation hardness", "GB / T 528-2009 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of tensile stress-strain properties", "GB / T 1690-2010 Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Resistance to liquids" and "GB / T 1689-214 Rubber, vulcanized - Determination of abrasion resistance", the performance tests were carried out on the rotary rubber cores prepared in Examples 1-6 and the rotary rubber cores prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3. The results are shown in the following table.

[0110]

[0111] It can be seen from the above test results that:

[0112] (1) In the present invention, carbon black is introduced into the polyacrylate raw rubber through a chemical reaction to obtain a carbon black-modified polyacrylate raw rubber, which has a good improvement in the dispersion performance of carbon black. Then, it is co-vulcanized and crosslinked with nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber. Through the synergistic cooperation among the three, not only does the prepared rotary rubber core retain the good oil resistance of nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber, but also has a good improvement in mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength and abrasion resistance.

[0113] (2) It can be seen from the analysis of Comparative Example 1 that due to the treatment with high-concentration nitric acid and oxidation for a long time, it may cause a large decomposition effect on the carbon skeleton on the surface of carbon black, resulting in great changes in the properties of carbon black, poor improvement in the mechanical properties of the prepared rotary rubber core, and poor wear resistance.

[0114] (3) It can be seen from the analysis of Comparative Example 2 that 10-undecenoic acid has a longer saturated carbon chain structure in terms of spatial structure compared with methacrylic acid. The longer saturated carbon chain structure increases the rotational freedom within the molecule, which in turn makes the relative movement between polymer segments easier to achieve, resulting in a further increase in the flexibility of the prepared rotary rubber core, a further decrease in the tensile strength, being not conducive to improving the hardness of the rotary rubber core, showing poor wear resistance, and a slight decrease in oil resistance.

[0115] (4) It can be seen from the analysis of Comparative Example 3 that when using silica, although the silica surface has a silanol structure and there is no need to introduce hydroxyl groups through oxidation and re-condensation, the silanol groups on the silica surface can self-condense and crosslink, resulting in fewer hydroxyl groups reacting with the carboxyl functional group in methacrylic acid, leading to poor dispersion modification effect of silica, and thus poor mechanical properties and wear resistance of the prepared rotary rubber core.

[0116] The above-described embodiments have detailed the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
