Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oilfield chemicals, in particular to an acid liquid reverse emulsion thickening agent for super-high-temperature gelled acid and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of oil and gas exploitation, especially in acidizing treatment operation, acid liquid is usually used to dissolve carbonate minerals in rocks to improve the permeability of the reservoir. In order to improve the viscosity of the acid liquid and slow down the penetration speed of the acid liquid in the rock formation, a thickening agent is usually needed to be added. However, the existing acid liquid thickening agents have problems such as poor solubility and poor temperature adaptability, which affects the effectiveness of the acid liquid and the operation effect. In recent years, in order to solve the problem of insufficient high-temperature resistance of polymers in hydrochloric acid environment, increasing the cationic degree of the polymer itself has become an effective solution. As a commonly used cationic monomer, the higher the cationic degree of DMC is, the stronger the temperature resistance of the polymer is. In theory, using DMC homopolymerization can obtain a cationic homopolymer with super-high-temperature resistance. However, in the industry, there is only a case of preparing a dry powder from a water solution polymer, and there is no case of obtaining a uniform emulsion by reverse emulsion polymerization. The advantages of reverse emulsion polymerization over dry powder preparation are as follows: first, the product can be used directly without subsequent treatment; second, the solubility and dispersion of the product are greatly reduced compared with dry powder, and the prepared acid liquid is more uniform and stable in properties. However, the main difficulties in reverse emulsion polymerization are as follows: first, the strong hydrophilicity and high charge density characteristics of DMC monomer itself are in conflict with the physical and chemical requirements of the reverse emulsion system; second, the traditional Span / Tween non-ionic emulsifier (HLB 4-6) relies on the space steric stabilization mechanism, but the hydrophilic segment (polyoxyethylene) and the cationic group have charge repulsion, which reduces the adsorption efficiency of the emulsifier at the oil-water interface. Stable W / O emulsion requires low HLB (4-6), but the strong hydrophilicity of DMC requires high HLB (>10) to reduce the interfacial tension. The two cannot be compatible, and the conventional emulsifier compound fails to effectively synthesize the required product, which is a technical bottleneck. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to provide an acid liquid reverse emulsion thickening agent for super-high-temperature gelled acid, to solve the problems of difficult synthesis of pure homopolymerization of methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) reverse emulsion, insufficient thickening effect of the thickening agent in super-high-temperature environment, and poor temperature resistance.

[0019] S4. The uniform emulsion is subjected to oxygen removal treatment, and a water solution of a reducing initiator with a concentration of 1-5% is added to initiate the polymerization reaction, to obtain an acid liquid reverse phase emulsion thickener for super-high temperature gelling acid.

[0020] Further, in step S1, ultrasonic waves are used in combination with mechanical stirring, at a speed of 300 rpm; the oxygen removal treatment is performed by passing nitrogen, for 2-3 h.

[0062] Comparative Example 1

[0063] The comparative example is basically the same as example 1, except that dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and lauryl alcohol polyether are not added, so as to verify the influence of the cationic surfactant on the synthesis reaction of the DMC system reverse-phase emulsion thickening agent.

[0064] Comparative Example 2

[0065] The comparative example provides an existing reverse-phase emulsion thickening agent product, the production manufacturer is 835 of Shandong Nuoer Biological Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

[0066] Comparative Example 3

[0067] This comparative example provides a prior art inverse emulsion viscosifier product, which is an emulsion produced by Guanghan Huaxing New Technology Development Institute.

[0068] Comparative Example 4

[0069] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that lauryl alcohol polyether and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide are replaced by fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO-9 and octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride to verify the influence of other cationic surfactants on the synthesis reaction of the DMC system inverse emulsion viscosifier.

[0070] In order to better understand the present application, the following will be further described by testing the products of the above examples and comparative examples.

[0071] A 20% HCl acid solution is prepared, including 20% HCl and 3% heterocyclic quaternary ammonium salt corrosion inhibitor, and 1%, 1.2%, 2.5%, and 3% of the products of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are added respectively, and a viscosity test is performed at room temperature using a viscometer, and the test results are shown in Table 1:

[0072]

[0073] The temperature resistance performance in the 20% HCl acid solution is shown in Table 2:

[0074]

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The acid solution product diagram prepared from the product of Example 1, as can be seen from the test results, Examples 1-3 can all obtain effective products, among which the viscosity-increasing effect of Example 1 is the best, and the temperature resistance is the best, which can reach 200℃. Comparative Examples 1 and 4 attempt to use lauryl alcohol polyether and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide as water phase surfactants, and are replaced by other cationic surfactants, due to the problem of reaction polymerization, the target product cannot be obtained smoothly, and the reaction fails. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 are commercially available existing products, the viscosity of the products of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 decreases obviously at a temperature of 160℃, and the temperature resistance is not as good as Examples 1-3. Please refer to Figures 2-3 , Figure 2 The product state diagram of Example 1 after temperature resistance test, Figure 3 The product state diagram of Comparative Example 2, as can be seen from the diagram, the product of Example 1 is stable in shape and uniform in appearance, the product of Comparative Example 2 is seriously layered and caked, and has appeared incompatibility, indicating that the temperature resistance of Comparative Example 2 is poor, while the product of the present application has good temperature resistance.

[0076] The present application solves the problem that the current DMC homopolymer emulsion cannot be effectively synthesized. The product prepared by Example 1 is shown in Figure 4 , the molecular formula is , the infrared spectrum is shown in Figure 5 , and the product deuterium water phase 1H-NMR diagram is shown in Figure 6 .

[0077] The core difficulty of the industrial application of pure DMC (methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) as a single monomer for reverse phase emulsion homopolymerization lies in the strong hydrophilicity and high charge density characteristics of the monomer itself, which is in conflict with the physical and chemical requirements of the reverse phase emulsion system. The technical bottlenecks are analyzed from the following three aspects:

[0078] First, the electrostatic repulsion is insufficient and the droplets are coalesced: each repeat unit on the DMC homopolymer chain carries a quaternary ammonium salt cation group (+N(CH3)3), resulting in a Zeta potential on the surface of the emulsion droplets higher than +50 mV. High charge density should enhance the electrostatic repulsion between droplets, but due to the low dielectric constant of the oil phase (ε≈2), the electrostatic shielding effect is significant, and the actual repulsion energy barrier is less than 10 kT (much lower than the required 25 kT). Therefore, the emulsified droplets are prone to coalescence during the emulsification process and the reaction process.

[0079] Second, the reverse phase emulsion nucleation relies on monomer droplets as reaction sites, but the interfacial tension between DMC aqueous solution and oil phase is high (>40 mN / m), the droplet size distribution is wide (PDI>0.5), and the reaction rate after initiation is not uniform, part of the droplets gel prematurely, please refer to Figures 7-8 , Figure 7 for the optical micrograph of premature gelation, Figure 8 for the emulsion state under 50 times optical microscope, from the figure it can be observed that a large number of droplets coalesce.

[0080] Third, emulsification problem: traditional Span / Tween type non-ionic emulsifiers (HLB 4-6) rely on steric hindrance stabilization mechanism, but the hydrophilic segment (polyoxyethylene) and the cationic group exist charge repulsion, resulting in reduced adsorption efficiency at the oil-water interface. Stable W / O emulsion requires low HLB (4-6), but DMC strong hydrophilicity requires high HLB (>10) to reduce interfacial tension. The two cannot be compatible, and the conventional emulsifier compounding fails.

[0081] Based on this, the present application adds two cationic monomers, dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and lauryl alcohol polyether, in the aqueous phase, uses polymerization method, uses homogenizer as mechanical emulsification scheme, and cooperates with multiple emulsifiers and multiple types of white oil compounding to improve the "core-shell structure stability" of water-in-oil, greatly improve the viscosity of the emulsion, and improve the overall stability of the reaction system.

[0082] The embodiments described above are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
