Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield drilling materials, in particular to a lignite resin for high-temperature resistant drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lignite resin, a core fluid loss additive in drilling fluid systems, is primarily a copolymer of nitrohumic acid and sulfomethylphenolic resin. Through the strong hydration of the sulfonic acid groups and the rigid support of the phenolic structure, it exhibits excellent temperature resistance (≤180°C), salt tolerance (≤10% NaCl), and fluid loss reduction properties in freshwater and low- to medium-concentration saline environments. The resulting thin, tough mud cake effectively lubricates drill tools and maintains rheological properties, resulting in its long-standing dominance in the domestic oilfield market. However, as oil and gas exploration extends into deeper formations (such as ultra-deep wells and shale gas horizontal wells in the Tarim Basin) and high-salinity environments (such as carbonate formations in the Middle East), existing treatment agents primarily focus on single-performance enhancements (such as viscosity enhancement or fluid loss reduction), making them incapable of addressing the complex damage of deep formations characterized by high-temperature softening, high-salinity flocculation, and high-solids clogging.

[0003] The existing lignite resins on the market have the following technical defects: 1. Insufficient thermal stability: the main chain of sulfomethylphenolic resin is a CC single bond, which is prone to chain scission and degradation above 180°C, resulting in a system viscosity retention rate of less than 50% (water loss after 16h hot rolling> 30mL); 2. Weak salt pollution resistance: the sulfonic acid group is easily Shielding, hydration film thickness reduced by 30%, causing clay particle flocculation (API filtration loss increased sharply to 25mL / 30min); 3. Failure of dynamic filtration control: Under high temperature and high shear conditions, the resin molecular chain cannot be re-crosslinked after breaking. The addition amount needs to be increased to more than 8% to maintain the filtration loss ≤15mL, but excessive use will lead to a thick mud cake (>4mm), causing the risk of differential pressure sticking.

[0004] In view of this, it is of great significance to prepare a lignite resin for high temperature resistant drilling fluid. Summary of the Invention

The lignite resin for high-temperature resistant drilling fluid of the present application has a benzene ring-pyridine heterocyclic double-rigid molecular skeleton, and is crosslinked with a nitro humic acid and nano-silica sol system, and has excellent composite performance in deep formation drilling: the 220 DEG C ultra-high temperature thermal stability of the resin can ensure that the molecular chain remains intact in the extreme heat environment, avoiding the viscosity of the system from suddenly dropping and the filtration loss from being out of control due to degradation; under the condition of 25% NaCl high salt, the double electronic shielding layer formed by the benzene ring pi-pi conjugation and the pyridine ring lone pair electron can effectively resist the damage of salt ions to the hydration film, so that the filtration loss is reduced; in the dynamic drilling process, the synergistic toughening effect of the double-rigid unit and the nano-silica can form a dense and elastic mud cake on the well wall, which can not only inhibit the hydration and swelling of shale, but also reduce the torque through the lubricating molecular layer, while significantly reducing the drilling fluid loss, and greatly improving the drilling efficiency and reservoir protection effect of deep and ultra-deep wells.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] In this document, reference to“an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase“in an embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described herein are illustrative of the application and are not meant to be limiting.

[0023] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely below.

[0024] Lignite resin is a functional polymer material prepared by chemical modification or physical blending process with natural lignite as the core raw material. Its core structure is derived from the unique molecular structure of lignite and the active groups introduced in subsequent processing. Natural lignite as the main body, its molecular chain is rich in polar functional groups such as carboxyl (-COOH), hydroxyl (-OH) and phenolic hydroxyl. These groups not only endow lignite with certain hydrophilicity and reactivity, but also become the key modification site. Through chemical means such as sulfonation, oxidation or graft polymerization, strong polar side chains such as sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) and amide group (-CONH2) can be introduced on the lignite skeleton, forming a network structure with lignite carbon chain as support and polar group as functional unit. For example, sulfonated lignite resin is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to make sulfonic acid groups uniformly distributed on the molecular chain, which significantly improves its water solubility and ion exchange capacity, thereby playing a role in reducing filtration loss and inhibiting clay hydration in drilling fluid.

[0025] In order to further optimize the performance, formaldehyde, hexamethylene tetramine and other crosslinking agents are added to build a three-dimensional crosslinking network by reacting with hydroxyl or amino groups, thereby enhancing the temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the resin. At the same time, phthalate plasticizers are used to reduce the intermolecular force and improve the flexibility and processing performance of the resin. However, due to the limitation of the thermal stability of lignite (usually less than 180℃ starts to decompose) and insufficient crosslinking density, the resin is prone to structural damage in high temperature and high pressure environment, resulting in a sharp increase in filtration loss and performance degradation, which is difficult to meet the needs of deep well and ultra-deep well drilling.

[0026] In the high-temperature resistant modification of lignite resin, the synergistic doping of benzene ring and heterocycle significantly improves the thermal stability and comprehensive performance of the material through multiple chemical mechanisms. First, the introduction of benzene ring (modification of benzene ring structure in p-bromostyrene) forms a stable conjugated structure through its delocalized pi electron system, which can effectively disperse thermal stress and inhibit molecular chain rupture and oxidative degradation at high temperatures. The rigid planar structure of the benzene ring can also form physical crosslinking points with the lignite skeleton, enhancing the mechanical strength of the resin and enabling it to maintain structural integrity at 220℃, while ordinary lignite resin has already softened and decomposed at this temperature. Second, the doping of heterocycle (modification of pyridine ring in 2-vinylpyridine) further optimizes the thermal stability through the electronic effect of nitrogen-containing heteroatoms. The nitrogen atom (electronegativity 3.0) in the pyridine ring can form hydrogen bonds or coordination bonds with the hydroxyl or carboxyl groups in lignite, constructing a dynamic crosslinking network. This network can release thermal stress by reversible bond breaking and recombination at high temperatures, avoiding structural collapse caused by local overheating. Meanwhile, the aromaticity of the heterocycle (six-membered conjugated system of the pyridine ring) forms pi-pi stacking with the benzene ring, enhancing intermolecular forces and increasing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin, significantly expanding its high-temperature application range. In addition, the synergistic effect of benzene ring and heterocycle also endows the resin with multiple functional characteristics: on the one hand, the hydrophobicity of the brominated benzene ring can reduce the swelling rate of the resin in high-temperature salt water, and the hydrophilicity of the pyridine ring can form a hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance structure, enabling the resin to quickly form a thin and dense mud cake in the drilling fluid at 220℃, reducing the filtration loss; on the other hand, the basic nitrogen atom of the heterocycle can adsorb acidic inhibitors (such as KCl) in the drilling fluid, enhancing shale inhibition and reducing the risk of wellbore instability. These structural optimizations enable the modified lignite resin to exhibit excellent high-temperature resistance and comprehensive performance advantages in deep well and ultra-deep well drilling.
