Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drilling fluid technology, specifically to a high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluid and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In oil drilling, drilling fluid plays a crucial role, not only carrying rock cuttings and cooling the drill bit, but also stabilizing the wellbore and preventing blowouts. As drilling depth increases, formation temperature and pressure also rise, placing higher demands on drilling fluid performance. While existing phenolic resins for drilling fluids can meet the requirements of high-temperature environments to some extent, they still have shortcomings in salt resistance and temperature resistance. Especially in high-salt formations, traditional phenolic resins are prone to degradation, leading to a sharp decline in drilling fluid performance. Therefore, avoiding this phenomenon is key to solving the problem. Summary of the Invention
[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluids and its preparation method, which exhibits good temperature and salt resistance.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluid, comprising the following weight components: 2-4 parts by weight of benzenesulfonic acid modified phenolic resin and 5-10 parts by weight of modified cashew nut phenol.
[0007] The preparation method of the benzenesulfonic acid modified phenolic resin is as follows: 3.7-4.1g of o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 6.3-6.7g of glyoxal and 3.1-3.4g of p-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid are dissolved in 40-50mL of dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing sulfuric acid (mass fraction of 96%, amount of sulfuric acid of 0.2mL), mixed evenly, and then the mixture is transferred to a 200mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and reacted at 115-120℃ for 42-48h. After the reaction, the product is washed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water to obtain intermediate 1. Intermediate 1 is added to a reactor containing toluene, and then 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone is added dropwise and reacted at 105-110℃ for 45-48h. After the reaction, the mixture is filtered to obtain benzenesulfonic acid modified phenolic resin.
[0008] Furthermore, the ratio of intermediate 1, toluene, and 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone is 1-2g: 25-30mL: 3.1-3.6g.
[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified cashew phenol is as follows:
[0010] S1. Add 4-vinylbenzoyl chloride to N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, stir and disperse, then add 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanethiol and benzoin dimethyl ether photoinitiator, irradiate with 365nm ultraviolet light at 25-40℃ for 2-3h, centrifuge, wash and dry to obtain tertiary amine-modified benzoyl chloride;
[0011] S2. Add 2-2.3 g of 3-pentadecanylphenol to 5-6 mL of 1,2-bromoethane, then add 0.51-0.53 g of potassium hydroxide, heat the mixture for 3-4 h, and then separate the reaction by column chromatography to obtain 3-pentadecanylphenoxyethyl bromide.
[0012] S3. Add 1.1-1.3 mmol of tertiary amine-modified benzoyl chloride and 1.26-1.41 mmol of 3-pentadecanylphenoxyethyl bromide to 40-50 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, stir and mix, react at 80-90 °C, distill under reduced pressure after reaction, filter, and dry to obtain modified cashew phenol.
[0013] Further, the ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, 4-vinylbenzoyl chloride, 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanethiol, and benzoin dimethyl ether photoinitiator in S1 is 45-55 mL: 1.6-1.8 g: 0.9-1.2 g: 0.02-0.03 g.
[0014] Furthermore, the reaction temperature in S2 is 62-68℃.
[0015] Furthermore, the reaction time in S3 is 6-9 hours.
[0016] Further, the preparation method of the high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluid is as follows: 50-65 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, 2-4 parts by weight of benzenesulfonic acid modified phenolic resin, and 0.01-0.02 parts by weight of pyridine are added to a reactor. After stirring and dissolving, 5-10 parts by weight of modified cashew phenol are added. The reaction is carried out at 60-68°C. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is distilled under reduced pressure and filtered to obtain the high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluid.
[0017] Furthermore, the reaction time is 2-4 hours.
[0018] (III) Beneficial Technical Effects
[0019] In the above reaction process, the alkenyl group in 4-vinylbenzoyl chloride and the mercapto group in 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanethiol undergo a click reaction to introduce a tertiary amine group and an acyl chloride group, thereby obtaining tertiary amine-modified benzoyl chloride; the tertiary amine group in the tertiary amine-modified benzoyl chloride reacts with the bromine group in 3-pentadecanylphenoxyethyl bromide to generate a quaternary ammonium salt group, thereby obtaining modified cashew phenol; the acyl chloride group in the modified cashew phenol reacts with the phenolic hydroxyl group in the benzenesulfonic acid-modified phenolic resin to obtain a high-temperature resistant sulfonated phenolic resin for drilling fluid.
[0020] The quaternary ammonium salt groups and cashew phenol in high-temperature sulfonated phenolic resin can reduce filtration loss and improve salt resistance. Quaternary ammonium salts can adsorb onto clay particles or formation minerals to form a dense filter cake, reducing drilling fluid penetration into the formation. The hydrophobic long chains of cashew phenol can enhance the filter cake's resistance to high temperatures and salt, reducing filtration loss under high temperature and pressure. Furthermore, the combination of modified cashew phenol with benzenesulfonic acid-modified phenolic resin can form a more stable network structure, further reducing filtration loss. The abundant sulfonic acid groups and benzene ring structure in high-temperature sulfonated phenolic resin can improve the drilling fluid's high-temperature resistance, salt resistance, and reduce filtration loss.
