Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of completion fluid in oilfield development, and particularly relates to a gel breaker for completion, a preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of oil and gas exploration and development, especially in the process of entering into the oil and gas reservoir, the solid particles and polymers in the drilling fluid will enter into the pores near the wellbore, thereby causing the plugging of pore throat in the later development process, and making it difficult for the oil in the formation to enter into the wellbore. Therefore, after drilling, it is generally necessary to drill into the completion fluid to slow down the plugging. The general completion fluid is any liquid contacting the production layer used due to the operation needs from the drilling of the new well to the formal production. The conventional completion fluid is the fluid involved in the preliminary unblocking of the plugging caused by the drilling between the drilling and the completion. The conventional completion fluid is clean brine, such as the brine prepared by using inorganic salts such as NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, or the organic brine prepared by using NaCOOH, KCOOH, CsCOOH, etc. Since 2000, people have begun to introduce biological enzymes into the completion fluid. Li Haibin et al. (Drilling Fluid and Completion Fluid, 2009, 26(4): 1-3.) studied the degradation process of biological enzymes on starch. Subsequently, Lan Qiang et al. (Drilling Fluid and Completion Fluid, 2010, 27(1): 11-13.) began to use amylase F, cellulase C, saccharifying enzyme and complex enzyme in 2010, which can promote the degradation of the commonly used polymer polyacrylamide. Yang Qianyun et al. (Patent document application No. 201110449989.0) proposed a biological enzyme solid-free completion fluid in 2011. The system contains oil biological enzyme degradable drilling fluid filtrate reducer, biological enzyme degradable tackifier and biological enzyme. This system is more accurately defined as a reservoir drilling fluid, wherein the biological enzyme includes cellulase, amylase and complex enzyme. Subsequently, Qu Zhan et al. (Patent document application No. 201010118986.4) formally proposed a biological enzyme completion fluid in 2013. The biological enzyme used includes protease, hemicellulase, NOWEE complex enzyme, trehalose lipid and BOVEE biological active substance, which is combined with biological acid, acetic acid and metal chelating agent to form a biological enzyme completion fluid system. The system can partially remove organic scale and inorganic precipitate and degrade polymers.

[0003] In summary, the commonly used completion fluid at present is simple inorganic brine and organic brine. The biological completion fluid proposed later adds conventional biological enzymes, which can remove part of the plugging in combination with part of the acid liquid. However, such enzymes are only suitable for removing cellulose and protein polymers, and have poor effect on synthetic polymers. Moreover, the biological acid and acetic acid have weak acidity, and the chelating agent has poor effect on the difficultly soluble barite. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new completion fluid system with temperature resistance and high solid phase corrosion. SUMMARY

Test the drilling fluid performance before and after 150°C / 16h aging, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0136] Table 1 Performance of conventional sulfonated drilling fluid

[0137]

[0138] The sulfonated drilling fluid is subjected to high temperature and high pressure filtration experiment at 150℃ / 3.5MPa, and filtration is performed for 30min. After completion, pressure is released and temperature is reduced. The mud in the tank is poured out, and the surface of the mud cake is cleaned with clean water. A plurality of sulfonated drilling fluid mud cakes with a mass of 65g are prepared by repeating the above process. The plurality of mud cakes are taken out and placed into corresponding high temperature and high pressure filtration rate testers. Then, 50mL of completion fluid / breaking agent is added to the test tank, which is set to 150℃ / 3.5MPa. The upper and lower valve rods are closed, and the pressure is maintained for 24h. The mud cake is taken out, and the remaining mud cake mass is detected and divided by the initial mud cake mass, which is the mud cake removal rate.

[0139] The test results of examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-5 are shown in Table 2.

[0140] Table 2: Comparison of test performance of examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-5

[0141]

[0142]

[0143] As can be seen from the results, the degradation rates of all natural polymers in the examples are above 80%, with the highest reaching 92%. The degradation rates of synthetic polymers are above 65%, with the highest reaching 75%. The degradation rates of formation crude oil are above 30%, with the highest being 53%. The degradation rates of barite are the lowest, with the lowest being 31% and the highest being 41%. The comprehensive mud cake removal rates are all above 62%, with the highest being 95%.

[0144] Compared with conventional biological completion fluids (comparative examples 4-5), the performance of the conventional biological completion fluids is poorer. The degradation rates of synthetic polymers, crude oil and barite in the conventional biological completion fluids are relatively low, and the highest comprehensive mud cake removal rate is 54%. The main reason is that the catalase in the breaking agent of the present application has both enzymatic degradation and oxidative degradation, and its addition greatly improves the degradation rates of natural polymers, synthetic polymers and formation crude oil. The introduction of polylactic acid particles in the breaking agent of the present application dissociates hydrogen ions during degradation under high temperature conditions at the bottom of the well, thereby improving the corrosion of inorganic solids. The introduction of organic acid chelating agents further improves the corrosion of barite and other insoluble solids. During the preparation of the breaking agent of the present application, the addition of polylactic acid activator and lactase when entering the wellbore significantly promotes the degradation of polylactic acid, thereby further improving the ability of the system to remove inorganic solids.
