Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield profile control and water plugging, and in particular to a pre-crosslinked surface active copolymer nano-microsphere profile control agent for oil production and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The pores in low-permeability rocks are typically tiny pore throats and channels. Low permeability reservoirs in low-permeability oilfields present a significant challenge, resulting in insufficient crude oil production capacity. Common profile control and water-blocking agents, due to their large particle size, tend to form blockages at the formation entrance, preventing them from penetrating deeply into the formation. Therefore, their effective application in low-permeability reservoirs is limited. Microspheres, as a new type of profile control and water-blocking product, have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physical properties. Typical microsphere products typically have an initial diameter ranging from a few microns to tens of microns and are capable of expanding several times within a short period of time (e.g., minutes to hours). Once injected into the formation, the microspheres can penetrate deep into the formation, where their expansion effectively seals the formation's pore throats and pores, thereby increasing oil recovery. However, complex formation environments place higher demands on the use of microspheres. Existing polymer microspheres absorb water rapidly and expand rapidly upon contact with water. This can cause premature expansion at the formation entrance, hindering their migration deeper into the formation.

[0003] Chinese invention patent publication number CN110317289A discloses a polyacrylamide nanosphere profile control agent for oilfield chemical recovery. The agent comprises the following raw materials: an active agent, a reactive monomer, an oil-phase medium, a crosslinking agent, an initiator, a co-initiator, and water. The profile control agent prepared by this invention has controllable particle size, good salt tolerance, high water absorption, rapid expansion at room temperature, and a large particle size after swelling. It also exhibits high strength, elastic deformation, and resistance to breakage. However, its rapid expansion rate affects its migration into deeper formations. Summary of the Invention

[0076] The preparation method of the cross-linking agent is substantially the same as that of Example 4, except that undecenyl alcohol is replaced by an equimolar amount of 3-buten-1-ol.

[0077] The raw materials used in the examples and comparative examples of the present application are as follows: nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether model NP-10; strong acid cation exchange resin is a polymer of divinylbenzene and sodium vinylbenzene sulfonate, brand Amberlite® IMACHP1110 resin; coal-based Fischer-Tropsch liquid wax model is Fischer-Tropsch paraffin liquid wax No. 2, with a Saibot number of +30, a distillation range of 179.5-308.5°C, and an alkane content of 99.9wt%, produced by Ningxia Coal Industry Co., Ltd. of the State Energy Group.

[0080] Table 1 Performance test data table

[0081]

[0082] From the data of Examples 5, 6 and 7 in Table 1, it can be seen that the copolymerized nano-microsphere profile control agent prepared in the present invention has a small particle size and can penetrate deep into the formation. The moderate expansion property enables the microsphere solution to achieve efficient step-by-step plugging.

[0083] The emulsifier prepared by the present invention contains lipophilic long-chain alkyl groups, hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, and ether bonds, which can reduce the interfacial tension between the aqueous and oil phases, reduce the aggregation of droplets, and thus improve the stability of the emulsion. The polyhydroxyl hydrophilic groups in the emulsifier prepared by the present invention promote the formation of more polymer particles, thereby effectively reducing the particle size of the microspheres. The branched structure derived from pentaerythritol provides a steric hindrance effect, preventing droplet collision and merging, and inhibiting the coarsening of the nano-microspheres. The long alkyl chains fully extend in the oil phase, forming a thick hydrophobic barrier, effectively preventing droplet collisions and reducing the particle size of the nano-microspheres.

[0084] The molecular structure of the cross-linking agent prepared by the present invention contains a benzene ring structural unit, a flexible ether bond, and an alkyl chain segment. The rigid characteristics of the benzene ring structure and the hydrophobic alkyl chain form a physical barrier to the diffusion of water molecules, slowing down the solvent penetration rate, thereby slowing down the expansion rate of the copolymerized nano-microsphere profile control agent during the water absorption process; the presence of the flexible alkyl chain and the ether bond gives the polymer chain segment a certain flexibility and extensibility, which is conducive to the diffusion of water molecules, thereby improving the overall expansion performance of the profile control agent; the synergistic effect of the two enables the copolymerized nano-microsphere profile control to have good water absorption and expansion capabilities while maintaining structural stability. The profile control agents used in Comparative Examples 4 and 6 have a slow expansion rate and a small swelling multiple, making it impossible to establish an effective plugging in time, thereby weakening their plugging ability. The profile control agent used in Comparative Example 5 has an excessively fast expansion rate, which is not conducive to its entry into the deep formation, reducing its plugging performance.
