Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of reservoir protection in oil and natural gas exploitation, and more specifically, to an oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid. Background Art
[0002] Reservoir protectants are core functional materials used to prevent reservoir damage during oil and gas field exploration and development. They maintain the reservoir's original permeability and productivity by inhibiting foreign fluid intrusion, stabilizing formation minerals, and reducing pore blockage. However, existing technologies still have significant limitations in complex formation conditions. Traditional temporary blocking technologies (such as calcium carbonate and oil-soluble resins) rely on a strict match between particle size and formation pore throats. However, actual oil and gas reservoirs are often highly heterogeneous, with a wide distribution of pore throat diameters (0.1 to 500 μm). Temporary blocking particles of a single or limited size struggle to cover the entire range of pore throats, resulting in incomplete blocking and a high risk of drilling fluid intrusion and contamination. On the other hand, although the broad-spectrum "oil film" temporary plugging technology reduces the dependence on pore size matching through particle deformation and electrostatic adsorption, and can adapt to a wider range of pore throat plugging, its core defects are highlighted in the high temperature and high pressure environment often faced by deep oil and gas reservoirs: the temporary plugging agent particles are easily over-softened or even melted due to high temperature, losing their deformation and plugging ability; at the same time, high temperature causes the surface charge density of the particles to decay, weakening the electrostatic adsorption effect with the formation rock, causing the "oil film" barrier to decrease in toughness and increase in permeability, ultimately causing the plugging ring to rupture and lose its protective effectiveness.
[0003] The patent application document with publication number CN118460191A discloses an oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid, which includes the following raw materials, in parts by weight: calcium carbonate, 40-50 parts; silane coupling agent, 0.1-0.5 parts; oil-soluble resin, 15-20 parts; cross-linking accelerator, 0.01-0.03 parts; oil-absorbing swelling resin, 5-8 parts; water-absorbing swelling resin, 1-1.5 parts; antioxidant, 0.1-1 parts; dispersant, 0 .5~1.5 parts; wherein, calcium carbonate accounting for 10~20wt% of the total weight of calcium carbonate is first mixed with a silane coupling agent, an antioxidant and a dispersant, and then kneaded and dispersed with an oil-soluble resin and a cross-linking accelerator at 135~145°C for 1~5h, crushed to a D90 particle size of less than 1mm after natural cooling, and finally cross-linked by electron irradiation; the irradiation time is 5~30min, the irradiation dose is 5~20kGy, and the irradiation time is inversely proportional to the irradiation dose.
[0004] This solution uses calcium carbonate (40-50 parts) as the core temporary plugging particle. After crushing, the D90 particle size of the calcium carbonate is only controlled to 1mm, which is far from adapting to the widely distributed pore throats in the reservoir, especially the microcracks and submicron pores, resulting in the formation of microchannels inside the plugging layer. In addition, only 10-20wt% of the calcium carbonate is modified with a silane coupling agent. The interfacial bonding force between the unmodified particles and the oil-soluble resin is weak, and the unmodified particles are easily detached from the system, causing microcracks to form inside the plugging layer and accelerating the overall instability of the plugging layer. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve the sealing ability of the protective agent on multi-scale pores, the present application provides an oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid.
[0006] The oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid of the present application adopts the following technical solution: An oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid is prepared by including the following raw materials in parts by weight: 15-20 parts of boron zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres, 8-12 parts of magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite, 6-8 parts of gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin composite, 0.8-1.2 parts of short-chain fluorosilicone, 10-12 parts of phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin and 12-15 parts of polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate.
[0007] In this technical solution, a boron-zinc composite oxide layer is constructed on the surface and pores of carbon microspheres. The boron-zinc composite oxide forms a local positive charge area due to charge imbalance, and produces electrostatic adsorption with clay minerals with permanent negative charge, thereby achieving effective blocking of micropores. The magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite is based on the filling of magnesium oxide, which neutralizes the acidic fluid in the short term and reduces the initial acid etching rate. The magnesium oxide between the vermiculite layers can also delay the diffusion of hydrogen ions and extend the life of the blocking layer. At the same time, based on the bridging effect of the vermiculite layer structure, it forms a blockage for larger cracks. The gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin composite fills the tiny pores with the colloidal properties of pre-gelatinized starch, and combines the inclusion effect of cyclodextrin to enhance the adhesion of the blocking layer. Short-chain fluorosilicone forms a bond anchor with the silanol group on the rock surface. The fluoroalkyl chain imparts superhydrophobicity, increases capillary resistance, blocks water intrusion, and thus improves the permeability recovery rate.
[0008] Under high temperature conditions (>160°C), the mobility of the flexible vinyl ester segments in the molecular chain of phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin is significantly enhanced, and it transforms from a glassy state to a highly elastic state. At this time, its rigidity decreases but the cross-linked network remains intact. It can compensate for the expansion of microcracks caused by temperature stress through the elastic deformation of the segments, dynamically fill pore defects, and effectively prevent the sealing layer from being brittle due to excessive rigidity. Due to the rigid structure of the furan ring, polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate forms a rigid skeleton in the form of solid particles, providing temperature structural support for the sealing layer, resisting the erosion and pressure shock of high-temperature fluids, and ensuring continuous sealing of cracks. The two work together to achieve a rigid-flexible balance in the sealing layer under high temperature.
[0009] Preferably, the method for preparing the boron-zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres comprises the following steps: S11: After mixing sugarcane bagasse and kelp bagasse evenly, add water, ultrasonicate for 30-50 minutes, heat to 200-220°C, hydrothermally react for 3-5 hours, cool, separate solid and liquid, wash, and dry to obtain a carbon microsphere precursor; S12: Immerse the carbon microsphere precursor in a zinc nitrate solution containing boric acid and tartaric acid, ultrasonicate for 30-50 minutes, mix for 2-4 hours, separate the solid and liquid, wash, dry, and then in an inert atmosphere at 380-420°C for 120-150 minutes, cool, and crush to obtain boron-zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres.
[0010] In this technical solution, the preparation of carbon microspheres modified with boron-zinc composite oxides uses bagasse and kelp residue as composite carbon sources, and generates a porous carbon microsphere precursor through a hydrothermal reaction. The carbon microsphere precursor is impregnated with a zinc nitrate solution containing boric acid and tartaric acid. During the zinc salt pretreatment and impregnation process, boric acid and zinc nitrate form a complex under the control of tartaric acid, which is evenly anchored on the surface and pores of the carbon microspheres. After thermal conversion, a boron-zinc composite oxide layer is formed. Under the high-temperature drilling environment, this boron-zinc composite structure makes the surface of the carbon microspheres locally positively charged, thereby generating a strong electrostatic attraction with the naturally negatively charged clay minerals in the oil and gas reservoirs, prompting the carbon microspheres to aggregate in a directional manner and block the microporous channels around the clay minerals, thereby improving the targeting and efficiency of the blockage.
[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of the bagasse to kelp bagasse is (5.5-6.5): (3.5-4.5).
[0012] Preferably, the mass concentration of zinc nitrate in the zinc nitrate solution is 8% to 12%.
[0013] Preferably, the mass concentration of boric acid in the zinc nitrate solution is 2.5% to 3.5%.
[0014] Preferably, the mass concentration of tartaric acid in the zinc nitrate solution is 7% to 9%.
[0015] Preferably, the particle size distribution of the boron-zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres is 0.1-5 μm.
[0016] Preferably, the preparation method of the magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite comprises the following steps: The vermiculite was added to a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide solution, heated to 70-90°C, ultrasonically treated for 2-3 hours, solid-liquid separated, washed, immersed in a magnesium nitrate solution, mixed for 2-4 hours, solid-liquid separated, washed, dried, and then transferred to a sintering furnace, first heated to 240-260°C, kept warm for 60-80 minutes, continued to heat to 380-420°C, kept warm for 60-80 minutes, and cooled to obtain a magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite.
[0017] In this scheme, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is inserted into the interlayer of vermiculite through the hydrophobic chain. Its cationic head group combines with the negative charge on the surface of vermiculite, improving the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the vermiculite surface and enhancing the adsorption capacity of vermiculite for magnesium nitrate. Ultrasonic treatment further promotes the uniform dispersion of surfactant molecules and expands the distance between vermiculite layers, providing space for subsequent magnesium oxide loading. When vacuum impregnating magnesium nitrate solution, Mg 2+ It enters the interlayers and surface of vermiculite through ion exchange; during the sintering process, magnesium nitrate is first dehydrated at 240-260°C to form basic salt, and then heated to 380-420°C to decompose into magnesium oxide, which evenly fills the pores between the vermiculite layers and on the surface. It not only uses the bridging effect of the vermiculite layer structure to seal larger cracks, but also uses the chemical inertness of magnesium oxide to delay the erosion of the sealing layer by the formation acidic fluid, thereby extending the sealing life.
[0018] Preferably, the vermiculite has a particle size distribution of 1 to 50 μm.
[0019] Preferably, the mass concentration of the magnesium nitrate solution is 10% to 15%.
[0020] Preferably, the mass concentration of the hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide solution is 2% to 5%.
[0021] Preferably, the preparation method of the gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin complex comprises the following steps: Add 5-7 parts by mass of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to water, heat it to 65-75°C, mix it evenly, add 10-15 parts by mass of pregelatinized starch, mix it evenly, cool it to 40-50°C, add 0.5-1 parts by mass of citric acid, mix it evenly, and spray dry it to obtain a gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin complex.
[0022] Preferably, in the preparation method of the gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin complex, 5-7 parts by mass of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is added to water, heated to 65-75° C., and mixed uniformly, and further comprises the step of adding 1-2 parts by mass of quaternary ammonium salt.
[0023] Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salt is selected from any one of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride and didodecyldimethylammonium chloride.
[0024] In this scheme, the annular cavity of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin can form an inclusion complex with the quaternary ammonium salt, and citric acid serves as a pH-responsive trigger: when the formation fluid is weakly acidic, the hydrogen ions ionized by citric acid destroy the inclusion bond between cyclodextrin and the quaternary ammonium salt, prompting the targeted release of the quaternary ammonium salt to the clay-rich area, neutralizing the negative charge of the clay through cation exchange, and inhibiting its hydration expansion; at the same time, the pregelatinized starch forms a viscoelastic gel to fill the pores and provide adhesion; the cyclodextrin inclusion complex with the quaternary ammonium salt realizes the sustained release of the anti-swelling agent.
[0025] Preferably, the short-chain fluorosilicone is selected from any one of perfluorobutyltriethoxysilane and perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane.
[0026] Preferably, the oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid further includes 1 to 2 parts by mass of chopped carbon fibers.
[0027] In this solution, the chopped fibers can construct a three-dimensional mesh support structure in the plugging layer, synergistically improving the impact strength and crack resistance of the plugging layer and avoiding damage to the plugging layer caused by fluctuations in the drilling fluid circulation pressure.
[0028] Preferably, the carbon fiber has a length of 0.5-2 mm and a diameter of 5-10 μm.
[0029] Preferably, the oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid further includes 2 to 4 parts by mass of fluororubber micropowder.
[0030] In this technical solution, fluororubber micropowders fill cracks through elastic deformation, effectively alleviating the brittleness of polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate and synergizing with the resin matrix to achieve a balance of rigidity and toughness. Furthermore, the strong electronegativity of fluorine atoms imparts excellent permeability and swelling resistance to acidic fluids, significantly enhancing the corrosion resistance of the sealing layer and extending its service life in acidic formations.
[0031] Preferably, the method for preparing the oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid comprises the following steps: S1: dissolving polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate in a cyclohexanone-acetone mixed solvent at 70-80° C. to obtain a polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate solution; In an inert atmosphere, a phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin is added to a mixer, the temperature is raised to 145-155° C., a polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate solution is added, the mixture is distilled, cooled, and crushed to obtain a composite resin; S2: mixing the boron zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres, the magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite, the short-chain fluorosilicone and the gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin composite uniformly, and drying to obtain granules; S3: Under an inert atmosphere, melt the composite resin into atomized form and spray it onto the surface of the particles. Then, keep the temperature at 165-170°C for 60-70 minutes, cool it, and crush it to obtain an oil and gas layer protective agent for drilling fluid.
[0032] Preferably, in step S2, after adding the gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin complex, the step of adding chopped fibers is further included.
[0033] Preferably, in step S1, when adding the phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin, the step of adding fluororubber powder is also included.
[0034] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application uses boron zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres to target and plug clay mineral micropores, and magnesium oxide-vermiculite composites to bridge and plug slightly larger cracks, and the two work together to form a gradient plug. And with the help of the gel effect of gelatinized starch-cyclodextrin composites, tiny pores are filled and the bonding strength of each component is strengthened. Short-chain fluorosilicone and the hydroxyl groups on the rock surface are partially bonded and anchored to form a hydrophobic barrier-hydrophilic filling interface strengthening mechanism. Afterwards, a composite resin is used for coating treatment. The chain segment mobility of phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin is enhanced at high temperature, and it exhibits moderate elasticity to dynamically fill microcracks. Polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate maintains a stable morphology by virtue of its molecular chain structure containing furan rings, and forms good compatibility with phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin. The two work together to effectively alleviate the high-temperature brittle fracture of the plugging layer and significantly improve the impact strength. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0089] Test 3: Comparison of comprehensive performance of protective agents in different embodiments and comparative examples Test conditions: (1) Protective agent dosage: 2.5% of the total mass of drilling fluid, see Table 3; (2) AV, PV, YP: measured at 50°C using a six-speed rotary viscometer, see Table 3; (3) Permeability recovery rate: artificial Bere core was used, see Table 3; (4) HTHP filtration loss: A high temperature and high pressure filtration tester was used, with the test conditions being 180°C, 3.5 MPa (simulating the typical operating conditions of a 160-210°C system), and the test time being 30 min, as shown in Table 3; (5) Sealing layer bearing pressure (MPa): Using an artificial Bailey core, pressurize at a rate of 0.5 MPa / min at 180°C and a base pressure difference of 3.5 MPa until the sealing layer ruptures, and record the peak pressure (see Table 3).
[0090] Table 3 Comprehensive properties of the oil and gas layer protective agents for drilling fluids prepared in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3
[0091] Analysis of the performance test data in Tables 1 to 3 shows that: From the perspective of permeability resistance, the amount of oil and gas layer protective agent added to the drilling fluid in Example 1 has a significant effect on the plugging effect. As the amount is increased from 0% to 4%, the penetration depth of the drilling fluid in the sand bed of each mesh size continues to decrease. Among them, the permeability optimization of the fine-grained sand bed is more obvious, indicating that the synergistic effect of the modified components can enhance the gradient plugging effect. Specifically, the boron-zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres target the plugging of clay micropores, the magnesium oxide-vermiculite composite bridges the cracks, and the filling effect of the gel synergistically covers the full-scale pores. At a dosage of 2.5%, the permeability resistance of Examples 2 to 7 is better than that of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, indicating that the modified components achieve precise plugging of the formation pores through the synergistic effect of surface bonding, bridging stability and gel filling.
[0092] In terms of comprehensive performance, all indicators of Examples 1 to 7 are better than those of the comparative example, and gradually improve with the optimization of components, indicating that the synergistic effect of components such as boron zinc composite oxide modified carbon microspheres and magnesium oxide-vermiculite composites not only enhances the permeation barrier performance, but also significantly improves the high-temperature stability and mechanical strength of the protective agent.
