Abstract

This invention relates to a thickener for high-temperature acidizing and its preparation method, belonging to the field of petroleum additives technology. The thickener comprises the following components by weight percentage: 37-45 wt% modified CMC thickener, 5.2-7.0 wt% co-solvent, 1.2-1.6 wt% dispersant, and 2.4-3.1 wt% stabilizer, with the balance being water. The modified CMC thickener uses carboxymethyl cellulose as a matrix and incorporates side chains containing sulfobetaine and cyclosiloxanes for modification. During acid injection, the cyclosiloxane structure undergoes hydrolysis and condensation, significantly increasing the viscosity of the acidizing fluid in the well. This creates a slow-flow splitting effect downhole, maintaining a sustained high-temperature acidic environment. The carboxymethyl cellulose backbone decomposes and breaks down, resulting in adaptive thickening that meets the thickening requirements of downhole acidizing. Simultaneously, it avoids the use of recalcitrant polymers, possessing profound research significance in environmentally friendly oil and gas extraction technologies.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum additives technology, specifically relating to a thickener for high-temperature acidification and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In oil and gas well enhancement processes, acidizing is a key technology that involves injecting acid (such as hydrochloric acid or argonic acid) into the formation to dissolve rock minerals, expand pore channels, and improve permeability. However, conventional acids have low viscosity and a fast acid-rock reaction rate, leading to excessive consumption of acid in the near-wellbore zone, making it difficult to effectively stimulate deep formations. Thickeners, as acid additives, increase viscosity to slow down the acid-rock reaction rate, enabling deeper acid migration and uniform dissolution.

[0003] Currently, acrylamide-based multi-component polymers are commonly used as thickeners in deep well high-temperature acidizing. Their molecular chains contain heat-resistant groups (such as sulfonic acid groups and tert-butylacrylamide), which maintain good stability at high temperatures, thereby maintaining the viscosity of the acid solution. Moreover, the molecular chains of this type of thickener are highly designable, and thermal stability can be improved by introducing heat-resistant monomers, as well as providing basic thickening effects at low concentrations. However, this type of polymer thickener has unavoidable drawbacks: the linear polymer chains depolymerize at high temperatures, leading to a continuous decrease in viscosity, making it impossible to dynamically adapt to changes in well temperature and thus preventing dissolution, resulting in difficulty in achieving breakthroughs in production enhancement. Furthermore, this type of polymer is difficult to biodegrade naturally, and the waste returned to the well is difficult to process, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection development. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a thickener for high-temperature acidification and its preparation method.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A thickener for high-temperature acidification comprises, by weight percentage: 37-45 wt% modified CMC thickener, 5.2-7.0 wt% co-solvent, 1.2-1.6 wt% dispersant, and 2.4-3.1 wt% stabilizer, with the balance being water.

[0007] The modified CMC thickener is prepared by the following method:

[0008] Step A1: Carboxymethyl cellulose and anhydrous acetone are mixed and swollen under dry nitrogen protection. Triethylamine is added and mixed, and the temperature is controlled at 25-40℃ in a water bath. Acryloyl chloride is slowly added and stirred for 4.5-6.5h. Then the temperature is raised to reflux for 1.2-1.8h. After the reaction is completed, acetone is removed by rotary evaporation and the mixture is dried under vacuum to obtain the intermediate.

[0009] Furthermore, the ratio of carboxymethyl cellulose, acryloyl chloride, triethylamine, and anhydrous acetone is 50g:15-22mmol:10-15mL:350-400mL. The highly active acryloyl chloride is esterified with carboxymethyl cellulose, introducing an acrylate structure into the molecular side chain.

[0010] Preferably, the degree of substitution of carboxymethyl cellulose is 0.8-1.2, at which level it exhibits good swelling properties and reactivity.

[0011] Step A2: Mix the intermediate, methacryloyl ethyl sulfobetaine and ethanol solution, heat to 55-65℃, add azobisisobutyronitrile solution and stir for 2.2-3.5h. After the reaction is completed, remove ethanol and water under reduced pressure to obtain the modified matrix.

[0012] Furthermore, the ratio of intermediate, methacryloylethyl sulfobetaine, azobisisobutyronitrile, and ethanol solution is 50g: 25-30mmol: 0.1-0.13g: 280-330mL. Under the initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile, methacryloylethyl sulfobetaine undergoes addition with the acrylate structure grafted into the intermediate molecule, and the sulfobetaine structure is modified by introducing a side chain.

[0013] Step A3: Tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, allyl glycidyl ether and anhydrous toluene are premixed, heated to 70-80℃ under dry nitrogen protection, platinum catalyst is added and the reaction is stirred for 3-4 hours. After the reaction is completed, toluene is removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain the modifier.

[0014] Furthermore, the ratio of tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, allyl glycidyl ether, platinum catalyst, and anhydrous toluene is 0.1 mol: 0.15-0.18 mol: 0.15-0.2 g: 170-220 mL. Allyl glycidyl ether undergoes hydrosilylation with tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane to introduce an epoxy structure.

[0015] Step A4: Mix the modified matrix, modifier and tetrahydrofuran, purge with dry nitrogen, stir in a water bath at 45-60℃ for 8-11 hours, then add 4-dimethylaminopyridine and reflux for 0.4-0.6 hours. After the reaction is complete, remove the tetrahydrofuran by rotary evaporation to obtain the modified CMC thickener.

[0016] Furthermore, the ratio of modified matrix, modifier, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and tetrahydrofuran is 50g:8.5-12g:0.2-0.3g:200-280mL. The betaine structure introduced into the side chain of the modified matrix molecule promotes the ring-opening reaction between the epoxy group of the modifier and the oxygen-containing group (carboxyl group and residual hydroxyl group) on the cellulose molecule, thereby introducing cyclosiloxane into the side chain of cellulose.

[0017] Preferably, the dispersant is sodium dodecyl sulfate, which interacts with the side-chain sulfobetaine structure of the modified CMC thickener to improve its dispersibility.

[0018] A method for preparing a thickener for high-temperature acidification specifically involves: grinding and dispersing a modified CMC thickener, a cosolvent, a dispersant, and water, followed by adding a stabilizer and mixing to obtain the thickener.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This invention is based on the bio-based raw material carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The CMC is modified to serve as the main thickening agent. The modification involves esterification of some hydroxyl groups in the CMC molecule with acryloyl chloride, introducing an acrylate structure. Then, methacryloyl ethyl sulfobetaine is added to the introduced acrylate, introducing sulfobetaine side chains to obtain a modified matrix. Allyl glycidyl ether undergoes hydrosilylation with tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, grafting epoxy groups onto the cyclosiloxane structure to create a modifier. Finally, the modifier ring-opens with the oxygen-containing groups in the modified matrix molecule, introducing cyclosiloxane structures into the cellulose side chains of the modified matrix, thus obtaining the modified CMC thickener. Compared with existing technologies, the modified CMC thickener of this invention contains sulfobetaine in its molecular side chains. With hydrophilic structures such as hydroxyl groups, it is compatible with aqueous acidizing systems. It provides a suitable initial viscosity through water absorption and swelling. As the acidizing fluid is injected and the well temperature rises, under acidic conditions, the cyclosiloxane structure of the side chain hydrolyzes and condenses, significantly increasing the viscosity of the acidizing fluid in the well. This forms a slow flow distribution downhole, which is conducive to the acid agent fully dissolving underground fractures and improving oil and gas extraction efficiency. As acidizing proceeds and the high-temperature acidic environment continues, the carboxymethyl cellulose backbone decomposes and then self-decomposes, which is conducive to flowback. The modified CMC thickener realizes an adaptive thickening mechanism, which is suitable for the thickening requirements of downhole acidizing. In addition, this invention avoids the use of recalcitrant polymers and uses bio-based carboxymethyl cellulose as the matrix, which has profound research significance in the environmentally friendly extraction technology of oil and gas.
