Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drilling fluid, in particular to a preparation method and application of modified resin based on lignite. BACKGROUND
[0002] In traditional drilling fluid treatment agents, lignite resin is often used to improve the filtration performance due to its wide source and low cost, but the content of active groups (such as carboxyl and hydroxyl) in the molecular structure of lignite resin is limited, and the molecular chain regularity is poor, which cannot meet the use requirements in complex drilling environments. The water content of traditional lignite resin is usually more than 15%, and the water-insoluble content is as high as 20-30%, which cannot meet the requirements of the new standard Q / SHCG 0166-2023 (water content ≤10%, water-insoluble content ≤15%), seriously affecting the dispersibility and stability of lignite resin in drilling fluid. The molecular chain of lignite resin is prone to thermal oxidative degradation at a high temperature of 120℃ or above, losing the control ability of the filtration amount of drilling fluid, resulting in thickening of the drilling fluid filter cake and sudden increase of the filtration amount, and further causing well wall collapse, sticking and other risks. For example, application No. 202010614775.3 discloses a drilling fluid filtration reducer lignite resin and a preparation method thereof, which has good filtration reduction effect, but the water-insoluble content of lignite resin is high. In the prior art, lignite resin is modified by methods such as sulfonation and hydroxymethylation, but the modified product still has the problem of single function, which cannot meet the demand for high-performance drilling fluid treatment agents in deep well, ultra-deep well and complex formation drilling operations. Therefore, it is a key problem to be solved in the field of drilling fluid technology to develop a lignite-based modified resin with excellent temperature resistance, salt resistance and high filtration reduction performance.

[0005] TECHNICAL SCHEME
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a preparation method of modified resin based on lignite, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Polyhexanedioic acid-1,4-butanediol glycol and hexamethylene diisocyanate are reacted under the action of dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst, then a chain extender is added for chain extension reaction, and finally glutamic acid is added for reaction to obtain a polyurethane solution;
[0008] S2. The polyurethane solution is added to the lignite resin, stirred and mixed at 60-65°C for 20-30 min, dried, and a modified lignite-based resin is obtained.
[0009] Further, the preparation method of the polyurethane solution is as follows:
[0010] The reaction bottle is added with 0.006-0.009 mol polyhexanedioic acid-1,4-butanediol glycol, vacuum dried at 110-120°C for 2-3 h, cooled to 75-80°C, and then 0.02-0.03 mol hexamethylene diisocyanate and 0.1-0.12 mmol dibutyltin dilaurate are continuously added under nitrogen gas, reacted for 1-2 h, then the temperature is kept at 65-70°C, 0.01-0.016 mol chain extender is continuously added, reacted for 1-1.5 h, the temperature is adjusted to 40-45°C, 0.005-0.006 mol glutamic acid is added, reacted for 1-3 h, and then 65-70 mL deionized water is added at room temperature after the reaction is completed, stirred and mixed to obtain a polyurethane solution.
[0011] Further, the chain extender is any one of 2,2-dimethylol butyric acid, 1,2-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, and a sodium sulfonate intermediate.
[0012] Further, the preparation method of the sodium sulfonate intermediate is as follows:
[0013] Step 1: 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol and malonyl chloride are added to N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, stirred and mixed, and then triethylamine catalyst is continuously added, reacted at 45-50°C for 1-2 h, distilled under reduced pressure after the reaction is completed, washed, and an intermediate 1 is obtained;
[0014] Step 2: The intermediate 1 and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid sodium are added to 25-30 mL of a 5-6% mass fraction sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, reacted at 50-55°C for 5-7 h, cooled, and then 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid is added dropwise to adjust the pH to neutral, and rotary evaporation is performed to obtain a sodium sulfonate intermediate.
[0015] Further, in Step 1, the amount ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol, malonyl chloride, and triethylamine catalyst is 50-60 mL: 1-2 mmol: 0.5-1 mmol: 0.01-0.02 mmol.

[0018] Further, the application in the drilling fluid.
[0019] (Three beneficial technical effects
[0020] By wrapping lignite resin with the hydrophobic segment of the polyurethane solution (such as butylene adipate), the water content is reduced, which meets the Q / SHCG 0166-2023 standard (≤10%); the stable composite structure is formed by physical wrapping and chemical adsorption between the polyurethane molecular chain and the lignite resin molecules, which can coat the originally difficult-to-dissolve macromolecular impurities in the lignite resin inside the composite system; at the same time, the hydrophilic groups (carboxyl and sodium sulfonate groups) introduced by the chain extender and the carboxyl groups capped by glutamic acid can improve the dispersion and solubility of the modified resin in water, reduce the water-insoluble content, and meet the requirements of the new standard for product purity.
[0021] The flexible structure of the polyurethane segment and the rigid skeleton of the lignite resin form a complementary structure, which can build an "elastic plugging network" in the drilling fluid, uniformly adsorb on the surface of the bentonite particles, reduce the interparticle pores, and form a thin and dense filter cake; at the same time, the carboxyl groups introduced by capping the polyurethane with glutamic acid can form coordination bonds with metal ions in the drilling fluid, further improving the filter cake bonding strength and reducing the fluid loss, which is much better than traditional lignite resin, effectively reducing the leakage of drilling fluid into the formation, and having good salt resistance.

[0063] The modified lignite-based resins prepared in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated for performance according to the standard Q / SHCG0166-2023 "Lignite Resin-Based Filtration Reducers for Drilling Fluids".
[0064] The evaluation of the filtration reduction performance of the product in the drilling fluid was carried out in fresh water mud and salt water mud. After aging at 180°C for 16 h, the high pressure filtration loss was determined using a 42-type high temperature and high pressure filtration instrument according to Q / SHCG0166-2023 "Lignite Resin-Based Filtration Reducers for Drilling Fluids". The compositions of the two evaluation systems are shown below:
[0065] Base mud formulation: In a sample cup containing 350 mL of distilled water, 0.79 (±0.05) g of anhydrous sodium carbonate and 22.5 (±0.5) g of bentonite for drilling fluid test mud were added, and stirred at high speed for 20 min, with at least two interruptions to scrape the sample adhering to the wall of the cup.

[0070] As can be seen from Table 1, the modified resin based on lignite prepared by the present application has good salt resistance and temperature resistance, and at the same time has low water insolubility. The polyurethane molecular chain (containing adipic acid butanediol ester hydrophobic segment) locks the free water in the lignite resin by physical wrapping effect and efficiently removes the water during the drying process; the carboxyl groups introduced by the chain extender (such as 2,2-dimethylol butyric acid, sodium sulfonate intermediate) and the hydrophilic groups of sodium sulfonate cooperate with the terminal carboxyl groups capped with glutamic acid to greatly improve the dispersibility and solubility of lignite resin in water, and convert the originally insoluble macromolecular impurities (such as undegraded lignin) into dispersible components.
[0071] Proportions 1-2 respectively lack the core process link of the present application (proportion 1 without sodium sulfonate intermediate, proportion 2 without polyurethane solution), and the performance is greatly deteriorated. After the sodium sulfonate intermediate is omitted in proportion 1, the hydrophilic group (sodium sulfonate) is insufficient, the dispersibility and solubility of lignite resin decrease, the insoluble impurities cannot be effectively dispersed, the water insoluble matter increases; at the same time, the salt resistance is lost, Na⁺ in the salt water system destroys the filter cake structure, leading to a sharp increase in filtration loss, and the water content exceeds the standard due to the decrease in polyurethane wrapping efficiency. Proportion 2 does not add polyurethane solution (only unmodified lignite resin), and the performance decreases. Without polyurethane solution, there is neither hydrophobic segment to reduce water content nor hydrophilic group to improve solubility, and the lignite resin retains the original defects (high water content and high insoluble matter); at the same time, the polyurethane-lignite interpenetrating network is missing, the molecular chain is easily degraded at 180℃, the filter cake structure is loose, and the filtration loss, temperature resistance and salt resistance are completely lost, which cannot meet the requirements of drilling fluid.
