Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of temporary plugging agents, specifically to a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is one of the core technologies for enhancing oil and gas field production. It involves injecting high-pressure fluid into the formation to form a fracture network and improve reservoir permeability. In multi-layered or heterogeneous reservoirs, temporary plugging technology is needed to achieve directional propagation of fractures or repeated fracturing in order to balance the stimulation effect. As a key material, temporary plugging agent needs to achieve precise control of temporary plugging and unplugging under specific conditions. Traditional temporary plugging agents (such as inert particles, fibers or chemically cross-linked gels) have the following limitations: (1) Insoluble residues: Quartz sand, polymer gels, etc., can easily cause reservoir damage and reduce conductivity; (2) Incomplete unplugging: It is necessary to backflow or acid unplugging, which increases the operating cost and complexity.
[0003] Water-soluble temporary plugging agents have emerged, with their core advantages being self-degradability, controllability, and environmental friendliness. These advantages make water-soluble temporary plugging agents consistent with the trend of green oil and gas field development. However, the most commonly used acrylamide polymer-based water-based temporary plugging agents currently have some problems during use: (1) the water absorption and expansion rate is too fast during use, resulting in expansion before reaching the target location, which leads to a low plugging rate; (2) they lack sufficient stability and strength, making them prone to structural damage and membrane collapse. Therefore, in order to address the problems of existing water-soluble temporary plugging agents, researchers need to develop a water-soluble temporary plugging agent with excellent strength, water solubility, and high plugging rate to meet the needs of practical applications. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing and its preparation method.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for preparing a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing includes the following steps:
[0007] Step S1: Mix 10g acrylic acid, 3-3.2g sodium hydroxide and 50mL water until homogeneous, and react in an ice-water bath until the neutralization degree of the acrylic acid aqueous solution is 60%-70%. Then add 9-9.5g acrylamide, 0.18-0.21g aluminum nitrate and 0.15-0.17g potassium persulfate and stir until homogeneous. Then add 0.5-1g sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide (LSC / GO) and ultrasonically mix for 20min. Then stir and react at 60-80℃ for 5-7h. Filter and dry to obtain LSC / GO@PAA-PAM particles (polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer coated LSC / GO particles).
[0008] Step S2: Stir 10g of LSC / GO@PAA-PAM particles in 200mL of ethanol until homogeneous, heat to 80℃, add 0.1-0.5g of acrylate-modified chitosan and stir for 30min, then add 0.015-0.02g of potassium persulfate and 0.02-0.03g of aluminum nitrate, maintain the temperature and stir for 24h, filter, wash and dry to obtain water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing.

[0014] Step A3: Sonicate 5g of graphene oxide in 200mL of water for 1-2 hours, collect the upper dispersion, filter, and dry to obtain pretreated graphene oxide; disperse the pretreated graphene oxide evenly in a mixture of ethanol and water (ethanol to water volume ratio of 1:3), add 30wt% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to adjust the pH of the system to 8.5, add amination sodium lignosulfonate, sonicate in a water bath for 30 minutes, react under nitrogen at 75-85℃ for 5-7 hours, then add allylamine to maintain the temperature for 6 hours, filter, wash, and dry to obtain sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide (LSC / GO).
[0015] Furthermore, in step A3, the ratio of pretreated graphene oxide, ethanol, water, aminated sodium lignosulfonate, and allylamine in the sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide process is 1g:20mL:60mL:1-2g:0.3-0.6g.
[0016] Further, the acrylate-modified chitosan is prepared by the following steps:
[0017] Step B1: Mix 3-chloro-1-propanol, dichloromethane and triethylamine, stir in an ice-water bath for 30 min, add acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution and stir for 1-2 h, then heat to 30-40℃ and react for 12 h, wash, rotary evaporate, column chromatography for purification, and rotary evaporate a second time to obtain acrylate derivatives.
[0018] Further, in step B1, the ratio of the amounts of 3-chloro-1-propanol, dichloromethane, triethylamine, and acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution is 0.01-0.03 mol: 50 mL: 1-3 g: 20 mL;
[0019] Furthermore, in step B1, the acryloyl chloride dichloromethane solution is prepared by mixing and stirring acryloyl chloride and dichloromethane at a volume ratio of 0.01-0.03 mol: 20 mL;
[0020] Step B2: Soak 5g of chitosan in 30mL of 3wt% glacial acetic acid for 30min, then wash with anhydrous ethanol until neutral, dry, and collect the pretreated chitosan; mix the pretreated chitosan with 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid, stir in an oil bath at 80℃ for 1.5-2.5h, then add 1,2-epoxydodecane, maintain the temperature and stir for 8-10h, add an ethanol / acetone mixture (ethanol and acetone volume ratio of 1:1) and stir for 10min, filter, wash, and dry to obtain hydrophobically modified chitosan;

[0023] Furthermore, in step B3, the ratio of hydrophobically modified chitosan, sodium hydroxide, tetrahydrofuran, and acrylate derivative is 2g:2.5-3.5g:50mL:0.5-1.5g.
[0024] The present invention also discloses a water-soluble temporary plugging agent for oil well fracturing prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0026] The water-soluble temporary plugging agent prepared in this invention uses sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide as the core, then coats the core layer with polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer to form a first shell layer, and then coats the first shell layer with acrylate-modified chitosan to form a second shell layer. When applied to oil well fracturing, this temporary plugging agent not only has excellent plugging performance, dissolving performance, and shear resistance, but also improves the transport capacity of the temporary plugging agent during the oil well fracturing process.
[0027] In this invention, the water-soluble temporary plugging agent contains a core layer of sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide that is chemically bonded to the first shell layer of polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer. The graphene oxide and the benzene ring structure in the sodium lignosulfonate work synergistically to form a stable structure, which improves the strength of the temporary plugging agent and ensures good shear strength before reaching the target location. Furthermore, the sodium lignosulfonate absorbs water and swells after water molecules enter the agent, working synergistically with the polyacrylic acid-polyacrylamide copolymer in the shell structure to increase the expansion ratio and sealing effect of the temporary plugging agent. The first shell is made of acrylate-modified chitosan, which is based on small-molecule chitosan. A small amount of hydrophobic alkyl long chains and acrylate structures are introduced on its surface through chemical grafting. The acrylate structure can cross-link with the first shell to achieve coating, while the hydrophobic long chains can delay the water absorption and swelling of the temporary plugging agent in the initial stage by using their hydrophobic effect. After the hydrophobic layer is hydrolyzed, water molecules can enter the interior through the pores on the surface of the temporary plugging agent and absorb water and swell by using the hydrophilic groups inside. By introducing hydrophobic structures on the surface of the temporary plugging agent, the migration ability of the temporary plugging agent in the formation is improved. Detailed Implementation

[0062] Comparative Example 1: This comparative example is a water-soluble temporary plugging agent. The difference between this example and Example 6 is that graphene oxide is used instead of sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide prepared in Example 3. All other aspects are the same.
[0063] Comparative Example 2: This comparative example is a water-soluble temporary plugging agent. The difference between this example and Example 6 is that sodium lignosulfonate is used instead of the sodium lignosulfonate / graphene oxide prepared in Example 3. All other aspects are the same.
[0064] Comparative Example 3: This comparative example is a water-soluble temporary plugging agent, which is the LSC / GO@PAA-PAM particles prepared in Example 6, and all other aspects are the same.
[0065] The performance of the water-soluble temporary plugging agents prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested:
[0066] Dissolution performance test: The dissolution time of the test samples in simulated formation water (total salinity of 7000 mg / L) at 80℃ and fracturing fluid containing 0.5 wt% guar gum was tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0067] Shear strength test: In simulated formation water (total salinity of 7000 mg / L), the material was fully expanded at 20℃ for 350 min. After the expansion ratio remained basically unchanged, the shear strength was measured using a bulk-expanded particle shear tester. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0068] Plugging rate performance test: The test was conducted in accordance with the testing method for plugging rate in patent number CN115197364A;
[0069] Expansion performance test: The sample was added to simulated formation water (total salinity of 7000 mg / L) and allowed to fully absorb water and expand at 20°C. The sample was periodically removed and dried with filter paper. The expansion ratio of the temporary plugging agent was measured at room temperature. The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0070]
[0071] As can be seen from Table 1, the water-soluble temporary plugging agent prepared by this invention has excellent solubility, shear strength and high plugging rate.
[0072]
[0073] As can be seen from Table 2, after the expansion performance test, the expansion ratio of the water-soluble temporary plugging agent prepared in this invention is relatively small in the early stage, and gradually increases with the extension of time. This indicates that the hydrophobic components on the surface of the temporary plugging agent can delay the entry of water molecules into the interior in the early stage, thereby improving its migration ability in the formation.

Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the scope defined by the inventive concept, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
