Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil drilling, and particularly relates to a rheological response cross-linked resin plugging slurry, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Compared with conventional oil wells, problems such as ultra-high temperature, alternating high and low pressure layers, and fracture-type severe leakage exist in ultra-deep wells, unconventional oil wells, and offshore oil wells, making them difficult to plug. In particular, severe leakage occurring in fractured formations has become a difficult problem in drilling and completion technology. In response to this problem, the current mainstream view is that polymer gel plugging materials have strong self-adaptive ability, strong viscous resistance and shear dilution resistance, and are not easily diluted and washed away in large fractures or karsts, making them more suitable for plugging operations in fractured leakage.
[0003] Currently, polymer plugging materials studied in the laboratory include polyacrylamide, polyethyleneimine, polyvinyl alcohol, phenolic resin, natural compounds, etc. These materials can achieve good plugging effects when used alone, but after being blended with drilling fluid, the regularity of the molecular chains of the plugging materials will be damaged, and the reactive groups will also lose their activity, resulting in the inability of the plugging materials to gel or solidify after being blended with the drilling fluid.
[0004] The development trends of gel resin materials at home and abroad mainly focus on the screening of cross-linking agents for polyacrylamide, the synthesis of main agents, epoxy modification, silica modification, and polyethyleneimine modification, etc. There is less research on other materials. It is undeniable that polyacrylamide has natural advantages such as simple operation and controllable gelation time as a drilling plugging resin, but it has high requirements for construction technology at high temperatures, the preparation process of chemical cross-linking agents is cumbersome, the preparation cost is high, and it also has disadvantages such as poor anti-pollution ability. Therefore, it cannot achieve the expected effect in actual applications. If a resin material with low viscosity, good anti-pollution ability, and controllable gelation time can be developed, this kind of problem will be effectively solved, creating a safe and efficient construction environment.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Specific Embodiments
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] It should be noted that: for those not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. For reagents or instruments not specified by the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.
[0021] In the present invention, all features defined in the form of numerical ranges or percentage ranges, such as numerical values, quantities, contents, and concentrations, are only for the sake of brevity and convenience. Accordingly, the description of a numerical range or percentage range should be regarded as having covered and specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and individual numerical values within the range (including integers and fractions).
[0022] The features mentioned in the present invention can be combined arbitrarily as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these features, and all possible combinations should be considered as being within the scope described in this specification. Each feature disclosed in the specification can be replaced by any alternative feature that can provide the same, equivalent, or similar purpose. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the disclosed features are only general examples of equivalent or similar features.
[0023] The present invention provides a rheological response cross-linked resin plugging slurry, its preparation method and application. The plugging slurry comprises the following components in parts by volume: 20 - 75 parts of a base fluid, 25 - 80 parts of an aqueous emulsion, 0.2 - 1 part of a demulsifier, 0 - 5 parts of a retarder, 0 - 50 parts of a weighting material, 0.5 - 2 parts of a rheological regulator, and 0.5 - 3.5 parts of a cross-linking agent, and the total volume fraction of the base fluid and the aqueous emulsion is 100 parts; wherein, the aqueous emulsion is selected from one or a combination of an aqueous polyurethane emulsion and an aqueous acrylate emulsion, and these aqueous emulsions are all anionic emulsions; the cross-linking agent can react with the active groups in the aqueous emulsion; the demulsifier is an organic weak acid; the rheological regulator can avoid the occurrence of flocculation; the retarder can reduce the reaction rate between the aqueous emulsion and the cross-linking agent; and the base fluid is a polymer drilling fluid.
[0024] Based on the fact that the acidic material (i.e., the demulsifier in the present invention) will reduce the electrophoretic potential of the emulsion, lower the stability of the emulsion, cause the latex particles to attract each other and gradually increase in particle size. With the further destruction of stability, the attraction between the latex particles increases and finally an associated structure is formed. In this state, the force between the gels mainly comes from polar interactions and the entanglement of molecular chains, so it is physical cross-linking. According to this principle, the consistency can remain unchanged during the stirring process, and the consistency can increase rapidly under static conditions. At the same time, the associated structure can be destroyed by applying shear force, and physical cross-linking can be re-realized through self-healing under static conditions, and this reaction process is reversible. The ionization of the weak acid is relatively weak and the acidity is easy to control. Therefore, the rate of reduction of emulsion stability can be controlled by the weak acid, thereby further controlling the rate of physical cross-linking. After physical cross-linking, the cross-linking agent reacts with the reactive groups on the molecular chain of the aqueous emulsion, thereby further increasing the strength of the gel, which is chemical cross-linking, and this reaction is irreversible. Therefore, the present invention combines physical cross-linking and chemical cross-linking to achieve the rheological response characteristics of non-gelling during the stirring process and gel formation under static conditions.
[0025] For plugging slurries, their viscosity, pumpable time, and bearing strength after gelling are very important. In drilling plugging operations, it is necessary to ensure that the plugging material penetrates deep into the cracks to form a sealing plugging layer. However, if the viscosity of the plugging material is too high, the flow will be blocked, pumping will be difficult, and the operation risk will increase. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the viscosity to balance the transportation and retention capabilities and maintain the stability of the plugging barrier. In addition, if the plugging material cannot be pumped and the slurry cures prematurely, it will cause plugging failure or blockage risk due to retention in the wellbore. Therefore, it is also necessary to accurately match the construction window period, and different pumpable times need to be designed according to the requirements of different wells, generally controlled above 180 minutes. For the bearing strength of the plugging material after gelling, it is necessary to ensure that if the final strength of the plugging slurry is insufficient, it is easily penetrated by the formation pressure, resulting in secondary leakage. It is necessary to optimize the strength to match the formation conditions to ensure that the strength of the plugging layer is sufficient to maintain the long-term plugging effect. The rheological response cross-linked resin plugging slurry of the present invention has significant advantages in terms of viscosity and pumpable time, and the bearing strength after gelling can meet the requirements without secondary leakage.
[0026] The plugging material of the present invention generates a gel by relying on the polarity between molecules and the synergistic effect of cross-linking reactions. The water-based drilling fluid has basically no effect on the gelling reaction and can gel after being blended with the drilling fluid in different proportions in the experimental examples, showing good anti-pollution performance.

[0051] Experimental Example Performance Test 1. Viscosity Measurement According to GB / T 15357-2014, a viscometer was used for viscosity testing. The liquid sample to be tested (i.e., the plugging slurry prepared in the examples and comparative examples) was poured into the test tank of the viscometer to ensure that the rotor was completely immersed in the liquid. The instrument was started and the viscosity reading was recorded. The test steps were repeated until stable measurement results were obtained.
[0052] 2. Judgment of Pumpable Time The gelation state was evaluated by visual inspection. The plugging slurries prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were poured into glass bottles, the bottle caps were tightened, and they were placed in a water bath at the corresponding gelation reaction temperature. They were taken out every 10 minutes, the glass bottles were rotated, and the gelation situation was observed. The time when it could not flow was used as the pumpable time and recorded.
[0053] 3. Evaluation of Pressure-bearing Capacity after Complete Gelation The plugging material experimental device QD-81 was used to carry out the pressure-bearing capacity evaluation experiment under the condition of a ball bed. The QD-81 cylinder was filled with marbles of Φ14.3 mm, and the plugging slurry was filled in the pores of the marbles. The cylinder was sealed and left standing for 7 days at a given temperature. After the plugging slurry was completely gelled, the cylinder was taken out, installed at the bottom inside of the QD-81 outer cylinder, and then 200 mL of clear water was added to the outer cylinder. The connecting bolt was removed, and the No. 6 plate (full-diameter ring) was installed and tightened. The ball valve was opened, a collection cylinder was placed at the outlet, the air source was connected, the air release valve rod of the three-way was closed, and the valve rod was opened. The outer cylinder cover of the plugging instrument was tightened, and the valve rod was screwed into the outer cylinder cover in turn to fix the three-way with a fixing pin. The timer was started, and the pipe manifold pressure regulating handle was rotated to pressurize at a speed of 2 psi per second until the plugging was damaged and the clear water in the instrument container flowed out. The maximum pressure reached was recorded.
[0054] 4. Test Results The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0055] Table 2 Experimental Results As can be seen from the data in Table 2 above, the plugging slurries of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 can all form effective plugging layers and have good plugging effects. In Comparative Example 1, a high-solid-content polyacrylate was used to replace the aqueous polyurethane resin emulsion, and the viscosity of the prepared slurry decreased, and the pressure-bearing strength after gelation decreased, indicating that the acrylate resin used in this system has a lower consistency than polyurethane and is more conducive to pumping, but the mechanical strength decreases. In Comparative Examples 2 to 3, the addition amount of the aqueous emulsion was reduced, resulting in an increase in the gelation time and a significant decrease in the pressure-bearing capacity. In Comparative Example 4, the addition amount of the demulsifier was increased, the demulsification rate was accelerated, and the mechanical properties were improved, but the safe pumping time was significantly shortened, less than 3 hours, which is not conducive to on-site construction. Therefore, the addition amount of the demulsifier should not be too high. In Comparative Example 5, the addition amount of the cross-linking agent was increased, and the mechanical properties increased, indicating that a small increase in the cross-linking agent is beneficial to the gelation performance. From the performance of Example 1 after gelation at different reaction temperatures, when the gelation temperature was reduced, the pumpable time of the system increased, and the strength after complete gelation remained basically unchanged. In Comparative Example 6, the gelation temperature was reduced and the addition amount of the retarder was reduced, and the gelation time was similar to that of Example 1, indicating that this system can meet the requirement of controllable gelation time under different temperature gradients. In Comparative Example 7, the traditional chemical plugging method was used, that is, an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide was reacted with organic chromium to prepare a hydrogel plugging material. From the results, it can be seen that the initial consistency of this material is higher and the gelation strength is on the low side. In actual applications, nano-silica, calcium carbonate, mica flakes, etc. are often added for reinforcement. In Comparative Example 8, a polyacrylamide aqueous solution was prepared using a polymer drilling fluid, and this plugging slurry could not gel, indicating that the anti-drilling fluid contamination of polyacrylamide is insufficient.
