Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield chemistry, and in particular to pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Problems with chemical and mechanical temporary plugging technologies in high-temperature reservoirs: Deep, high-temperature reservoirs and complex wellbore environments result in insufficient reliability and poor effectiveness of temporary plugging technologies. With the continued advancement of exploration and development, deep, heterogeneous gas reservoirs face urgent demands for reservoir protection and productivity release. The complex geological conditions at depth and the impact of low reservoir permeability pose additional challenges to completion processes. For openhole completions in abnormally high-pressure reservoirs, to meet the dual requirements of well control safety and wellbore cleanliness, large amounts of high-density completion fluids are required during the scraping and flushing phase, resulting in fluid losses. Furthermore, high-volume circulation flushing can easily cause openhole leakage, necessitating the use of downhole mechanical plugging tools such as reservoir isolation valves and leakage prevention valves. However, complex factors such as high reservoir temperatures, oil-based drilling fluid environments, complex wellbore trajectories, and abnormal reservoir pressures place even higher demands on the safety and reliability of mechanical plugging tools. Failure to properly close or open these tools leads to further wellbore complexity, limited treatment options, and increased engineering complexity and operational costs. Secondly, when openhole completion is not possible, casing perforation completion is required. Conventional chemical temporary plugging fluids have a temperature limit of only 140°C, making it difficult to effectively seal the reservoir during the perforation and production string installation stages, and therefore unable to meet the temporary plugging needs of high-temperature wells in the East China Sea. Furthermore, they are prone to filtration and water lock in the reservoir, causing reservoir damage and hindering subsequent induced blowback and production release. To address the problem of the existing solidified water temperature limit of only 120°C, we constructed pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles through optimization of key material components and research on basic physical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particle. By adopting a specific mass ratio of two-phase ionic monomers, nanomaterials, anionic monomers and high-temperature resistant crosslinking agents, a temperature resistance of 160°C and an absorption density of 1.55g / cm 3 The pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel of potassium formate brine temporarily plugs the particles, thereby ensuring the problem of completion fluid loss during the perforation completion process of high-temperature and high-pressure wells and reducing reservoir damage.

[0004] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles. The pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles are composed of 5% to 15% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) (relative to the mass of acrylic acid, the same below), 5% to 15% zwitterionic monomers, and one or more of 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (PC), [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SB), (3-(methacrylamido)propyl)dimethyl(3-thiopropyl)ammonium hydroxide inner salt (SPP), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). The particles also contain 0.1% to 1% nanomaterial, which is a combination of one or both of nanosilica and carboxymethylated nanofibers. The particles also contain 0.1% to 1% crosslinking agent, which is tetraallyl ammonium chloride (TAAC). The invention comprises a certain mass of acrylic acid (neutralization degree 60% to 90%), the anionic monomer being provided by neutralized acrylic acid salt, the neutralization raw material being sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution, 10wt% to 30wt% of a temperature-resistant monomer, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), and 0.5wt% to 1wt% of an initiator, which is one or a combination of potassium persulfate (KPS) and ammonium persulfate (APS).

[0006] The preparation method of the pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles of the present invention comprises: adding a certain amount of carboxymethylated nanofibers and an appropriate amount of distilled water into a flask, ultrasonicating for 10 minutes to completely disperse the nanomaterials, then adding a certain amount of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), heating to 60°C and stirring to dissolve the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; taking a certain amount of deionized water into a beaker, adding an initiator and stirring until dissolved, and then pouring the initiator into a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution to activate it; taking a certain amount of deionized water into a clean beaker, adding sodium hydroxide, and stirring in an ice-water bath to completely dissolve it to obtain a sodium hydroxide solution, weighing a certain amount of acrylic acid, and adding the acrylic acid dropwise to the sodium hydroxide solution to obtain an anionic monomer solution so that the acrylic acid reaches a designed neutralization degree; then weighing a certain amount of a temperature-resistant monomer, a zwitterionic monomer and a crosslinking agent in sequence into a beaker, adding a certain amount of deionized water and stirring until completely dissolved to obtain a composite solution; finally, adding the acrylic acid solution and the composite solution into the activation solution, heating to 70°C while stirring, and reacting for 3 hours. After the reaction, the gel in the flask was removed, chopped, and washed three or more times with deionized water to remove unreacted monomers. The washed gel was placed in an 85°C oven for 12 hours and finally ground into a 40-60 mesh size to obtain the desired pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles.

[0007] Notes: ① To increase the reaction rate and yield, use a stirrer to stir the solution thoroughly to ensure uniform concentration throughout the reaction. ② To prevent oxidation of the reactants by oxygen in the air, maintain a constant flow of nitrogen through the system. ③ To allow the reaction system to communicate with the outside world, remove nitrogen, and retain low-boiling-point reactants, install a reflux condenser on the flask.

[0008] The final pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles obtained in the present invention need to be mixed with high-density brine to swell and form solidified water nanocomposite gel particles with a certain shape and mechanical properties to play a role. The solidified water particles enter the wellbore blasthole with the high-density brine and then accumulate at the blasthole to reduce the loss of brine to the formation.

[0009] The composition of the pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles of the present invention includes 5% to 15% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), for example, 5%, 6%, 7%, 10%, 12% or 15%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0010] 5 wt% to 15 wt% of the cationic monomer, for example, 5%, 6%, 10%, 12%, 14% or 15%, etc., but is not limited to the values listed, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable;

[0011] 0.1 wt% to 1 wt% of nanomaterials may be, for example, 0.1%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9% or 1%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0012] 0.1 wt% to 1 wt% of the crosslinking agent may be, for example, 0.1%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 0.95% or 1%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0013] Acrylic acid with a neutralization degree of 60% to 90% can be, for example, 60%, 74%, 86%, 88% or 90%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values. Other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0014] 10 wt% to 30 wt% of the temperature-resistant monomer may be, for example, 10%, 20%, 25% or 30%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0015] 0.5 wt% to 1 wt% initiator, for example, can be 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 0.95% or 1%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.

[0016] In the present invention, when the mass percentage of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is preferably between 5% and 15%, the pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles have good temperature resistance and salt water absorption performance. When the mass percentage is higher than this, the network structure complexity of the gel temporary plugging particles will increase, resulting in a decrease in salt water absorption performance. When the mass percentage is lower than this percentage range, the network pore size of the gel temporary plugging particles will increase, the particle strength will decrease, and the temperature resistance will decrease.

[0017] Preferably, the zwitterionic monomers include one or more of 2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (PC), [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SB), (3-(methacrylamido)propyl)dimethyl(3-thiopropyl)ammonium hydroxide inner salt (SPP), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Because the zwitterionic content within each monomer molecule is the same, different ratios of the monomers will not significantly affect the positive charge density of the gel temporary plugging particle network. However, due to different intramolecular functional groups (double bonds, lipid bonds, anionic groups), the molecular weight of the zwitterionic monomers is different, so different compounding ratios will affect the salt water absorption and mechanical properties of the gel temporary plugging particles.

[0018] Preferably, the anionic monomer is provided by neutralized acrylic acid, and the acrylic acid is neutralized by sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution. The mass fraction of the anion is determined by the neutralization degree of acrylic acid. The greater the neutralization degree, the greater the anion mass fraction.

[0019] Preferably, the initiator is one or more combinations of potassium persulfate (KPS) and ammonium persulfate (APS). Different ratios of the two initiator combinations will result in different amounts of substances under the same initiator mass, which will ultimately affect the polymerization effect. When the initiator mass fraction is too high, the polymerization rate will be accelerated, resulting in an incomplete gel network structure, and ultimately reducing the water absorption and temperature resistance.

[0020] The molecule described in the present invention has high temperature resistance and salt water absorption performance, and is applied to the completion and testing process of high-temperature wells to ensure safe, accurate and efficient operations. The water absorption performance of pre-crosslinked particles is mainly related to the fixed charge of the gel network charge structure, the hydrophilicity and the degree of gel crosslinking. The more fixed charge, the stronger the hydrophilicity and the smaller the degree of crosslinking, the stronger the salt water absorption performance; in addition, it is also related to the salt water density (i.e., ionic strength). The higher the salt water density of the same salt, the worse the salt water absorption performance. According to Flory's law of water absorption, the increase in the fixed charge and hydrophilicity inside the unexpanded gel network structure can enhance the water absorption performance. The present invention uses amphoteric monomers, anionic monomers, and cationic crosslinking agents to crosslink and polymerize, while improving the fixed charge inside the gel network and the hydrophilicity of the polymer, thereby improving the salt water absorption performance. In addition, the temperature-resistant crosslinking agent increases the complexity of the cross-linked polymer network and improves the temperature resistance.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles provided by the present invention have good high-temperature stability, can quickly absorb high-density saline and form high-density gel temporary plugging particles, and are suitable for large-scale promotion and application.

[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below. However, the following examples are merely simplified examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.

[0034] In the following examples and comparative examples, all raw materials used are commercially available products, and all methods used are conventional methods in the art.

[0035] The high temperature resistance and salt water absorption rate and performance testing methods of the pre-crosslinked zwitterionic nanocomposite gel temporary plugging particles in the following examples and comparative examples include:

[0036] Weigh a certain amount of product into a beaker, then add excess high-density saline into the beaker. After a period of time, the product will absorb the liquid completely.

[0037] Pour the mixture in the beaker into a 120-mesh sieve and let it sit for 30 minutes. Finally, weigh the filtered gel using an electronic balance and calculate the gel's liquid absorption performance using the following formula.

[0038] Q s =(M1-M0) / M0

[0039] Where:

[0040] Q s ———Brine solution absorption rate, g / g. The larger the rate, the better the salt solution absorption performance;

[0041] M1——The mass of solidified water temporarily blocked particles when they completely absorb the salt solution, g;

[0042] M0——dry weight of solidified water temporary blocking particles, g;

[0043] In the following examples, the temperature resistance was measured using the following method:

[0044] After saturation, solidified water particles are filtered and weighed, and the solid phase mass is recorded as m0. Then, the solidified water particles are mixed with high-density brine and poured into an aging tank. The aging tank is placed in a high-temperature constant temperature oven for aging. The aging tank is opened every other day, filtered and re-weighed, and recorded as m1, m2...m i , the curing water mass retention rate is calculated by the following formula to evaluate its temperature resistance:

[0045] F=mi / m0*100%

[0046] Among them, F represents the quality retention rate of the curing water after aging, with a maximum value of 100%. For the same aging time, the larger the F value, the better the temperature resistance of the curing water.
