Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of oil field chemistry, and particularly relates to an oxygen-reduced air flooding corrosion inhibitor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Air flooding oil is a method of flooding oil reservoirs by injecting air into the stratum, which can effectively maintain the stratum pressure, reduce the viscosity of crude oil, and produce a thermal expansion effect on the crude oil, and is a good medium for supplementing the stratum energy and is more suitable for the development requirements of low-permeability oil reservoirs.

[0003] However, the oxygen corrosion problem restricts the application of air flooding. On the one hand, due to the serious heterogeneity of the sedimentary oil reservoir, direct injection can easily cause gas channeling, and when the air and natural gas are mixed in the wellbore and bottom pipeline, there is an explosion risk. To solve this problem, the air flooding process is assisted by foam, and when the oxygen is mixed with the liquid in the foam, it can cause strong corrosion of the pipe string. On the other hand, in order to reduce the problems of explosion and pipe string corrosion, oxygen-reduced air flooding is currently more commonly used, but even if the oxygen content control flooding is implemented, the water introduced into the reservoir during the construction process and the water produced by the reservoir itself can also cause strong corrosion of the pipe string in the presence of oxygen. Therefore, in addition to strictly controlling the oxygen content in the air, a corresponding corrosion inhibitor is often introduced to protect the pipe string during the air flooding process, which can be used to coat the pipe string before it is lowered into the well, or a protective fluid is injected after the pipe string is lowered into the well, so that the corrosion inhibitor in the protective fluid is adsorbed on the surface of the pipe string to form a protection.

[0004] According to the results of a large number of practical applications, the main problem of air flooding is the corrosion protection failure of the inner pipe below the packer and the outer wall of the pipe string under high temperature, pressure and salinity conditions. Among them, the ground pipeline part and the inner wall of the oil pipe can be protected by an inner coating, and the corrosion inhibitor used to protect the pipe string under complex stratum conditions is easily affected by the environment and fails, resulting in serious corrosion. Therefore, improving the stability of the corrosion inhibitor under complex stratum conditions has become a problem that needs to be solved in the field of air flooding. SUMMARY

[0005] The application provides an oxygen-reduced air flooding corrosion inhibitor and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem that the corrosion inhibitor used to protect the pipe string under complex stratum conditions is easily affected by the environment and fails, resulting in serious corrosion.

[0044] The test results are as follows:

[0045] I. Corrosion resistance test:

[0046] The static coupon weight loss method is used to test the corrosion resistance of the product. The test solution simulates the water used in some oilfields, and the main ion concentrations are as follows: sodium ion 10 g / L, calcium ion 2 g / L, sulfate ion 0.05 g / L, carbonate ion 0.3 g / L, potassium ion 2 g / L, magnesium ion 1 g / L, and the rest is chloride ion.

[0047] The test uses N80 steel coupons with dimensions of 50 x 20 x 3 mm as blank samples. The specific test operation is as follows: 5 L of test solution is filled into a high temperature and high pressure kettle to ensure that the blank sample is completely immersed in the test solution inside the kettle. The temperature in the kettle is raised to 120 °C, and 5% oxygen-reduced air is pumped into the high temperature and high pressure kettle, and the pressure is increased to 30 MPa. After keeping the conditions for 7 days, the corrosion rate of the blank sample is determined by weight loss method.

[0048] The sample using the corrosion inhibitor also uses a 50mmx20mmx3mm N80 steel sheet as a sample, and the corrosion inhibitor can be added to water to configure a protective solution to immerse the sample, or can be configured as a corrosion inhibitor liquid surface spraying form for use, and in this case, a protective solution with relatively weak protective effect is selected for testing, and the specific test operation is as follows: the corrosion inhibitor is added to the test solution at a mass concentration of 200mg / L, and the steel bottle is immersed in the test solution in the high temperature and high pressure kettle with the corrosion inhibitor, the temperature in the kettle is raised to 120℃, and the oxygen volume of 5% of the oxygen reducing air is pumped into the high temperature and high pressure kettle, and the pressure is increased to 30MPa, and the condition test is kept for 7d, and then the weight loss method is used to measure the corrosion rate of the blank sample.

[0049] The specific results of the test of the examples and the comparative examples are shown in Table 1:

[0050] Table 1: Corrosion inhibition effect test results

[0051]

[0052] The calculation method of the corrosion rate V is shown in formula (1):

[0053]

[0054] In formula (1), △W is the weight loss of the sample before and after the corrosion experiment, g; ρ is the density of the sample steel sheet, g / cm 3 ; t is the experimental time, h; s is the area of the sample steel sheet, cm 2 .

[0055] The calculation method of the release rate η is shown in formula (2):

[0056]

[0057] In formula (2), V0 is the corrosion rate of the steel sheet as a blank sample, mm·a -1 ; V is the corrosion rate of the steel sheet with the corrosion inhibitor, mm·a -1 .

[0058] Based on the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the corrosion rates of the samples in each group to which the corrosion inhibitor in each group is added are significantly reduced, and the sample to which the corrosion inhibitor in the comparative example is added has a certain corrosion inhibition effect relative to the blank sample. This is because the corrosion inhibitor in the examples introduces an aldehyde with a benzene ring on the basis of the amino acid copolymer including lysine acid, so that the aldehyde group reacts with the amino group of the lysine side chain to form an imine structure, thereby introducing a part of the benzene ring to the copolymer. The imine group can effectively enhance the adsorption on the metal surface, and the benzene ring can improve the temperature resistance to a certain extent. In the comparative example, the amino acid copolymer formed alone can also be adsorbed on the metal surface, that is, it has a certain corrosion inhibition effect, but it is easily affected by temperature and decomposed and desorbed, resulting in a significant difference in corrosion inhibition effect relative to the examples.

[0059] In addition, the corrosion inhibition rate of the group corresponding to Example 2 is the highest, which may be because the raw material usage of the corrosion inhibitor in Example 2 is larger and the reaction time is longer, so that more imine structures are introduced into the polymer, enhancing its adsorption capacity with metal atoms, so that the corrosion inhibitor can be adsorbed on the surface of the steel sheet for a longer time to play a protective role.

[0060] II. Temperature resistance test

[0061] The corrosion inhibitor in Example 2 is selected, and on the basis of setting a blank sample, the temperature resistance test is carried out by using the above-mentioned steps for corrosion resistance test, the difference being that the temperature condition is changed, and the rest of the test conditions remain unchanged. The specific results are shown in Table 2:

[0062] Table 2 Temperature resistance test results

[0063]

[0064] According to the results shown in Table 2, it can be seen that under high temperature conditions above 120℃, the sample using Example 2 as the corrosion inhibitor still has good corrosion inhibition performance, proving that the corrosion inhibitor in the present application has certain temperature resistance effect and can be applied to scenes under high temperature conditions.

[0065] In summary, the present application copolymerizes aspartic acid with part of lysine with an amino branch to form a polymer, and introduces a phenyl aldehyde on the amino group of the lysine branch to form an imine structure containing a benzene ring. On the one hand, the imine structure improves the bonding effect with the metal surface, and on the other hand, the benzene ring also improves the temperature resistance of the whole polymer, so that the corrosion inhibitor in the present application can be stably adsorbed on the metal surface under relatively high temperature conditions, improving its protection effect on part of the casing in the deep formation in the oxygen-reduced air drive construction, so that the corrosion inhibitor in the present application has a large application range and good corrosion inhibition effect.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present application is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments and areas of application, and the above-described specific embodiments are merely illustrative and instructive, but are not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications under the teachings of the specification, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present application protected by the claims.
