Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular to a channeling blocking agent for carbon dioxide flooding and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During oilfield development, low-permeability reservoirs are typically developed using water flooding or CO2 flooding technologies. CO2 flooding offers advantages such as excellent injection performance, wide applicability, low recovery costs, and significant enhanced oil recovery. However, due to reservoir heterogeneity, differential mobility, and density, CO2 flow in the formation can cause viscous fingering and gravity differentiation, leading to channeling through high-permeability channels. This channeling is particularly severe within artificially fractured fractures. This gas channeling leads to ineffective gas circulation, reduced sweep efficiency, decreased crude oil recovery, and severe impacts on development effectiveness. Therefore, controlling and delaying CO2 channeling within fractures is a key challenge facing CO2 flooding.

[0003] Applying sealing agents before CO2 injection is an effective way to mitigate CO2 gas channeling. Currently, commonly used sealing agents include inorganic particle-based sealing agents and gel-based sealing agents. Inorganic particle-based sealing agents have the disadvantages of a short effective range and significant formation damage. With increasing awareness of oil well formation protection, their use is declining, leading to the development of gel-based sealing agents as a major research focus. Polymer gel-based sealing agents are the most widely used of these gel-based sealing agents. While they offer excellent channeling and water blocking effects, they have limited temperature tolerance. Conventional polymer gel-based sealing agents are only suitable for medium- and low-temperature reservoirs with temperatures between 60 and 120°C. They have poor salt tolerance and are prone to failure in highly salinized reservoirs. Long-term use can significantly reduce permeability, ultimately leading to production losses. For example, patent CN104293330A discloses a CO2 gas drive sealing agent for high-temperature, low-permeability oil reservoirs. The sealing agent consists of acrylamide, a modifier, an emulsifier, an initiator, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide, formaldehyde, a retarder and water. It has good stability at 126°C, is not suitable for high-temperature oil reservoirs, and does not involve salt resistance.

[0004] Therefore, providing a carbon dioxide flooding channeling blocking agent with good channeling effect, good temperature resistance and good salt resistance is still an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a carbon dioxide flooding channeling blocking agent and a preparation method thereof. The channeling blocking agent has good channeling effect, good temperature resistance, good salt resistance, does not separate water for a long time, and can be used for a long time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:

[0007] A carbon dioxide flooding channeling blocking agent comprises the following raw materials, calculated by mass percentage: 8-15% of a reaction monomer, 1.5-2% of N-sulfonated chitosan, 0.5-1% of a cross-linking agent, 0.1-0.5% of an initiator, and the balance being water;

[0008] Wherein, the reaction monomers include a first monomer and a second monomer 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid.

[0009] Furthermore, the N-sulfonated chitosan is prepared by sulfonating chitosan with sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate; the molecular weight of the chitosan is 20kDa to 50kDa, the degree of deacetylation is 75 to 90%, and the degree of sulfonation of the N-sulfonated chitosan is 0.33 to 0.48.

[0010] Furthermore, the N-sulfonated chitosan is prepared by the following method:

[0011] Chitosan is added to an acetic acid solution, stirred, and a sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate solution with a mass concentration of 45% is added, and the temperature is raised to react to obtain a crude product; then water is added to the crude product, the pH is adjusted to neutral, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain N-sulfonated chitosan.

[0012] Optionally, the weight ratio of chitosan to sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate is 1:(1.5-2.2).

[0013] Optionally, the temperature of the temperature-raising reaction is 60-80° C. and the time is 3-4 hours.

[0014] This application adds N-sulfonated chitosan to the channeling agent. Compared with chitosan, the addition of N-sulfonated chitosan can form a grafted structure with acrylamide and other materials, thereby increasing the gel strength and the plugging effect, enabling it to maintain a high gel strength for a long time at 160°C, and improving its temperature resistance. However, the study found that the introduction of sulfonated chitosan led to a decrease in its long-term storage stability, affecting the gel strength and plugging performance of the channeling agent. In addition, it was found that although the addition of N-sulfonated chitosan can improve the temperature resistance of the material, the molecular weight and deacetylation degree of N-sulfonated chitosan need to be controlled. Too high or too low a molecular weight, or too high or too low a deacetylation degree, can easily lead to a decrease in the temperature and salt resistance of the channeling agent. In addition, the sulfonation degree of chitosan also affects the performance of the channeling agent. The higher the sulfonation degree, the more sulfonated groups there are, resulting in a decrease in salt resistance and poor stability.

[0015] Furthermore, the first monomer is selected from at least one of acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-ethylacrylamide, N-methylmethacrylamide, N-isopropylacrylamide, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and N,N-diethylacrylamide.

[0016] Furthermore, the reaction monomers further comprise a third monomer, N-(isobutyloxy)methyl acrylamide, and the molar ratio of the first monomer, the second monomer and the third monomer is 10:(3-3.5):(0-0.7), preferably 10:(3-3.5):(0.4-0.7).

[0017] This application uses a free radical polymerizable monomer containing only acrylamide as the first monomer, and the second monomer 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as the main monomer to react and prepare a polyacrylamide gel-type channeling blocking agent. The presence of the sulfonic acid group in 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid improves the material's temperature resistance and salt tolerance, with a blocking rate of over 85%. However, its temperature resistance is around 160°C, making it unsuitable for oil reservoir development at higher temperatures. Research has found that introducing a certain amount of N-(isobutyloxy)methyl acrylamide into the reaction monomer can help further improve the material's temperature resistance, enabling it to withstand temperatures of 200°C and withstand temperatures for two months without dehydration, increasing the blocking rate to over 90%.

[0018] Furthermore, the cross-linking agent is glutaraldehyde and epichlorohydrin in a weight ratio of (88-95): (5-12).

[0019] Furthermore, the initiator is selected from organic or inorganic peroxides. Specifically, the initiator illustratively includes but is not limited to at least one of potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, benzoyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, dodecyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, tert-butyl peroxyvalerate, and cumene hydroperoxide.

[0020] Furthermore, the water is any one of clean water, river water, and simulated formation water.

[0021] While the aforementioned channeling agents have good temperature and salt resistance and a high blocking efficiency, their long-term storage stability needs to be improved. Therefore, in a further embodiment, the carbon dioxide flooding channeling agent further includes a polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether grafted siloxane polymer in an amount of 0-2.7%, preferably 2-2.7%. The addition of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether grafted siloxane polymer can improve its storage stability, but the grafting rate of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether should be carefully considered to avoid excessive polyethylene glycol grafting, which can reduce temperature resistance and salt resistance.

[0022] Furthermore, the preparation method of the polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether grafted siloxane polymer comprises the following steps:

[0023] Polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether is added to polydiethoxysiloxane ethanol solution to carry out ester exchange reaction. After the reaction is completed, the pressure is reduced, the ethanol is extracted, and the solution is dried to obtain the product.

[0024] Optionally, the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether is 200-800.

[0025] Optionally, the viscosity of the polydiethoxysiloxane ethanol solution is 4000-10000 cp (at 20-30° C.).

[0026] Optionally, the mass ratio of the polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether to the polydiethoxysiloxane is 1:(0.2-0.5).

[0027] Optionally, the temperature of the transesterification reaction is 60-70° C., and the time is 2-4 hours.

[0028] According to another aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a carbon dioxide flooding channeling blocking agent is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0029] The reaction monomers are added into water and dispersed evenly, and N-sulfonated chitosan, a cross-linking agent, an initiator and polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether grafted siloxane polymer are added and mixed evenly to obtain the product.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. The present application provides a polyacrylamide gel-based carbon dioxide flooding sealing agent. The sealing agent has low viscosity at room temperature before gelling and is easy to pump into the formation. After gelling, it has high strength, good temperature resistance, good salt resistance, and strong sealing properties. It can be used to prevent and control carbon dioxide gas channeling in carbon dioxide flooding mining.

[0032] 2. A certain amount of N-sulfonated chitosan is added to the channeling sealant of the present application, which can form a stable structure with acrylamide, etc., improve the gel strength, and enhance the blocking performance; the channeling sealant uses a certain proportion of acrylamide-containing free radical polymerizable monomers as the main reactive monomers, and the addition of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and N-(isobutyloxy)methacrylamide helps to improve the temperature resistance and salt resistance of the channeling sealant. In combination with N-sulfonated chitosan, it can withstand high temperatures of 160°C.

[0033] 3. A certain amount of polyethylene glycol grafted siloxane polymer is also added to the channel sealing agent of the present application, which helps to improve the stability of the channel sealing agent and further improves the temperature resistance, so that it can maintain good gel performance and blocking properties during long-term storage.

The following contents are merely illustrative of the scope of protection claimed in the present application. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the invention of the present application based on the disclosed contents, and such changes and modifications shall also fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present application.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, the various chemical reagents used in the examples of this application were obtained through conventional commercial channels. Among them, acrylamide was purchased from Shandong Yukang Chemical Co., Ltd., N-isopropylacrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and N-(isobutoxy)methacrylamide were purchased from Hubei Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd.; polydiethoxysiloxane was purchased from Hubei Yongkuo Technology Co., Ltd., polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether was purchased from Hubei Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd.; sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate was purchased from Hubei Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd., and chitosan was purchased from Hubei Xinmingtai Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0040] The molecular weight of chitosan is 20kDa to 50kDa, and the degree of deacetylation is 75 to 90%;

[0041] The sulfonation degree of sulfonated chitosan in this application is mainly adjusted by controlling the ratio of the sulfonating agent sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate to chitosan. This application limits the weight ratio of chitosan with a specific molecular weight and deacetylation degree to sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate to 1: (1.5-2.2), and can obtain N-sulfonated chitosan with a sulfonation degree in the range of 0.33-0.48. As long as the N-sulfonated chitosan meets the above conditions, it can achieve the technical effect of this application, improve the gelling strength of the sealing agent, improve the temperature resistance and salt resistance, etc.; if you want to obtain N-sulfonated chitosan with a sulfonation degree lower or higher than this range, you can adaptively adjust the ratio of chitosan and sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate.

The temperature of the temperature-raising reaction is 60-80°C and the time is 3-4 hours.

[0043] Specifically, N-sulfonated chitosan with a sulfonation degree of 0.33 was prepared by the following method:

[0044] 1 part of chitosan (molecular weight of 20kDa, degree of deacetylation of 75%) was added to 20 parts of 2% acetic acid solution by mass, stirred and fully swollen, and then 6 parts of 30% sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate solution by mass were added (heated to 60 ° C and reacted for 4 hours. After the reaction, water was added and the pH was adjusted to neutral. The mixture was filtered, washed, dialyzed and dried to obtain the product. The infrared characterization of N-sulfonated chitosan and chitosan was performed. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that compared with chitosan (curve a), N-sulfonated chitosan (curve b) has a -1 、1036cm -1 -SO3 appears nearby - The characteristic peaks of S=O and O=S=O in the groups indicate that sulfonic acid groups have been introduced into N-sulfonated chitosan.

[0045] N-sulfonated chitosan with a sulfonation degree of 0.48 was prepared by the following method:

[0046] Add 1 part of chitosan (molecular weight of 50kDa, degree of deacetylation of 90%) to 20 parts of 2% acetic acid solution, stir to fully swell, then add 4.8 parts of 40% sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate solution, heat to 80°C and react for 4 hours. After the reaction is complete, add water and adjust the pH to neutral. Filter, wash, dialyze, and dry to obtain the product.

[0047] N-sulfonated chitosan with a sulfonation degree of 0.51 was prepared by the following method:

[0048] Add 1 part of chitosan (molecular weight of 50kDa, degree of deacetylation of 90%) to 20 parts of 2% acetic acid solution, stir to fully swell, then add 5.5 parts of 50% sodium trichlorodihydroxypropyl sulfonate solution, heat to 80°C and react for 4 hours. After the reaction is complete, add water and adjust the pH to neutral. Filter, wash, dialyze, and dry to obtain the product.
