AI Technical Summary
Traditional alkyl glycoside surfactants have high surface tension, poor drainage effect and temperature resistance, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-temperature oil and gas reservoir development.
A heat-resistant oil displacement aid was prepared by quaternizing dimethylaminoethyl-4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside to form a glycoside containing phenylpyrrolidone and quaternary ammonium salt. This glycoside has high surface activity and heat resistance, and was formulated into a displacement aid solution.
It improves the surface activity and high temperature resistance of the drainage aid, resulting in excellent drainage performance. Even under high temperature conditions, it can effectively reduce the surface tension of the drainage liquid and promote liquid drainage.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of oil field chemicals, in particular to a temperature-resistant oil displacement and cleanup agent, a preparation method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] The oil displacement and cleanup agent is a common oil exploitation aid. The cleanup agent can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, so that the liquid such as fracturing fluid residue is more easily returned to the ground, thereby reducing the damage to the formation. Moreover, the cleanup agent can destroy the oil film and emulsion structure, enhance the flowability of crude oil, and improve the recovery rate. Developing a new type of efficient oil displacement and cleanup agent is a research focus. For example, cationic, anionic and zwitterionic surfactants have important applications in cleanup agents.
[0003] Alkyl glycoside is a green and environmentally friendly surfactant, which can be used as a cleanup agent, oil displacement agent, anti-sloughing inhibitor, drilling fluid aid and the like, and is widely applied in oil and gas well exploitation and oil field chemical industry. The traditional alkyl glycoside has low surface activity, large solution surface tension, poor cleanup and return performance, and poor high-temperature resistance, and is difficult to meet the needs of high-temperature oil and gas reservoir exploitation. The patent with the publication number CN114426838B discloses that dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, alkyl glycoside and the like are compounded to obtain a synergistic cleanup agent to reduce the oil-gas field fracturing fluid interfacial tension, but the patent does not solve the problem of poor high-temperature resistance of the alkyl glycoside cleanup agent.

The preparation reaction formula is as follows:
[0007] .
[0008] Step (2), adding dimethylaminoethyl-4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside in a ratio of 100g: (18-45) into N,N-dimethylformamide, stirring and reacting, adding acetone into the solution to precipitate the precipitate, washing with acetone after filtration, drying, then adding the product into deionized water to prepare a solution with a mass fraction of 0.05-0.4%, which is a temperature-resistant oil displacement agent. The preparation reaction formula is:
[0009] .
[0010] Further, the temperature for stirring and activating in step (1) is 65-75℃, and the activation time is 1-1.5h.
[0011] Further, the temperature for stirring and reacting in step (1) is 90-110℃, and the reaction time is 7-12h.

[0014] The application has the beneficial technical effects that: the dimethylaminoethyl-4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside are subjected to quaternary ammonium reaction to obtain a glycoside containing phenylpyrrolidone and quaternary ammonium salt, which has amphiphilic structure containing hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt cationic group and hydrophobic benzene ring, has very high surface activity, and the prepared water-soluble solution of the displacement agent has low surface tension, which is beneficial to reducing the surface tension of the flowback fluid, promoting the flowback of the liquid, and has excellent displacement performance.
[0015] The aspect grafts the benzene ring and pyrrolidone ring structure with heat resistance in the glycoside, which is beneficial to improving the high-temperature resistance of the displacement agent and preventing thermal decomposition, and after high-temperature heat treatment, the displacement agent solution still has very low surface tension and will not affect the displacement and flowback performance.

[0037] Table 1 Surface tension test of displacement agent
[0038]
[0039] In Examples 1-4, dimethylaminoethyl-4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside were subjected to quaternary ammonium reaction to obtain glycoside containing phenyl pyrrolidone and quaternary ammonium salt, and an aqueous solution of the displacement agent was prepared, which contains hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt cationic group and hydrophobic benzene ring amphiphilic structure, has very high surface activity, low surface tension, is beneficial to reduce the surface tension of the flowback fluid, and promotes the flowback of the liquid. The displacement agent has excellent displacement performance. And the heat-resistant benzene ring and pyrrolidone ring structure are grafted in the glycoside, which significantly improves the high temperature resistance of the displacement agent. After high temperature heat treatment, the displacement agent still has very low surface tension and does not affect the displacement performance of the flowback.
[0040] In Comparative Example 1, the solution of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside was used as the displacement agent, which has low surface activity and high solution surface tension, which is not conducive to improving the displacement performance.
[0041] The quaternary ammonium reaction of N,N-dimethyl decylamine and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside in Comparative Example 2 does not contain the benzene ring and pyrrolidone ring structure with heat resistance, and the heat treatment is easy to decompose the heat, the high temperature resistance is poor, the surface tension of the solution is obviously increased, and the performance of the drainage agent is affected.
[0042] The substitution reaction of the chlorine atom of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl glycoside and the imino of 4-phenyl-2-pyrrolidone in Comparative Example 3 does not contain the quaternary ammonium salt cationic group, the surface activity is low, the surface tension of the drainage agent is high, and the drainage performance is not improved.
[0043] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
