Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil field chemistry, and particularly relates to a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant slow-swelling microsphere based on double emulsion and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background of the continuous growth of global energy demand, the efficient development of ultra-high temperature and high salinity reservoirs (temperature > 120℃, salinity > 2×10 5 mg L -1 ) has become a key issue to ensure energy security. Such reservoirs account for more than 40% of the world's proven oil and gas reserves. After long-term water injection development, the reservoir heterogeneity is intensified, and the preferential seepage channels are developed, which leads to the bypass flow of injected water and the remaining oil recovery rate is generally less than 25%, seriously restricting the improvement of oil and gas production.

[0003] Deep profile control technology, which blocks high permeability channels by injecting profile control agents and guides fluid flow to low permeability areas, is a core means to improve the development effect of such reservoirs. However, the existing profile control agent system has significant limitations: in-situ cross-linked gel has low cost, but the gelation time is difficult to control and is easily degraded by shearing, and the plugging stability is poor; preformed particle gels (PPGs) have good salt resistance, but the particle size is mostly millimeter level, which is difficult to enter the deep pore throat of the formation, and the expanded particles are easy to break; traditional polyacrylamide microspheres face the dual dilemma of "rapid swelling leading to near-well plugging" and "molecular chain hydrolysis failure under high temperature and high salinity", and cannot achieve long-term deep plugging.

[0004] To break through the above bottleneck, researchers optimize the performance of microspheres through molecular design, such as constructing a double network and introducing salt-tolerant monomers, but single function optimization is difficult to meet the three core requirements of ultra-high temperature resistance (> 120℃), high salt resistance (> 2×10 5 mg L -1 ) and slow swelling. Menzel proposed a new strategy to synthesize micron-sized core-shell particles, using water-in-oil-in-water (W1 / O / W2) double emulsion as a template, synchronously polymerizing the inner water phase and the intermediate oil phase, and forming a cross-linked poly-porous hydrophobic shell. The "oil phase locking" mechanism of rapid gelation of the oil phase can reduce the mass transfer from the inner water phase to the outer phase, and stabilize the W1-W2 phase. Acrylic acid monomer makes the W1 / O interface lose stability, which promotes the coarsening of the inner water phase, and affects the formation of the particles. The particles can be used as adsorbents to simultaneously remove and encapsulate organic and inorganic cationic substances in the aqueous solution. The O / W / O type double emulsion has the advantages of multi-phase encapsulation and precise structure control, and can construct a stable layered structure to provide a separate microenvironment for active components. However, such a method has not been applied to the preparation of polymer microspheres for oil fields. In summary, there is little research on the synthesis of polymer microspheres for oil fields using double emulsion. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop profile control microspheres based on double emulsion technology, which have multiple excellent properties. SUMMARY

[0051] To further illustrate the technical effects of the present invention, the present invention also provides relevant performance evaluations of the above embodiments in practical applications.

[0052] I. Evaluation of the microstructure and stability of the emulsion

[0053] The microstructure of the primary emulsion and the double emulsion prepared in step (2) of Example 1 was observed using an optical microscope, and their stability was evaluated by monitoring the emulsification index. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that Figure 1 The microscopic observation results shown clearly show a structure where large droplets enclose small droplets, which is a typical double emulsion structure. The emulsion droplets are relatively uniform, and the small droplets inside are obvious, proving that the emulsion has good stability.

[0054] Meanwhile, the pre-emulsion prepared in step (2) of Example 1 was mixed with different proportions of the external oil phase to form a double emulsion. The ratio of the pre-emulsion to the external oil phase was 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4. The sedimentation was observed after standing for 14 days, and the specific results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Based on Figure 2 The test results show that the ratio of primary emulsion to external oil phase is the key factor affecting the stability of double emulsion: no sedimentation occurred at an oil-water ratio of 1:2, which is the optimal oil-water ratio, and the emulsion index of the emulsion changed very little within 1 day and 14 days, indicating good stability.

[0055] II. Infrared characterization of temperature- and salt-resistant slow-swelling microspheres (PTS)

[0056] The PTS microspheres prepared in Examples 1-3 were mixed with KBr at a mass ratio of 1:100, ground, and pressed into transparent sheets. The microspheres were then analyzed in a scanning range of 4000-4000 cm⁻¹. -1 4cm resolution -1 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was performed under the condition of 32 scans. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, by Figure 3 As you can see, 3432.15cm -1 The peak value is the stretching vibration peak of NH in AM, at 1590.58 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak value is the bending vibration peak of NH in AM, at 1455.25 cm⁻¹. -1 and 2929.10cm -1corresponding to the C=C stretching vibration and the aromatic ring C-H stretching vibration of the benzene ring in NaSS and DVB, respectively, 1122.83 cm -1 is the characteristic stretching vibration peak of -SO3H in NaSS, 1628.8 cm -1 is the absorption peak of C=O in SMA-18, 643.31 cm -1 corresponding to the C-H bending vibration of the vinyl group in DVB, which together confirm that the raw materials in Examples 1-3 have successfully achieved copolymerization, and the synthesis of PTS microspheres is complete.

[0057] III. Evaluation of the temperature resistance and salt resistance of temperature-resistant and salt-resistant slow-swelling microspheres PTS

[0058] Take the temperature-resistant and salt-resistant slow-swelling microspheres (PTS-1, PTS-2, PTS-3) prepared in Examples 1-3, respectively, to prepare a microsphere solution with a mass concentration of 0.5%, seal the solution in a high-temperature resistant bottle, set the reaction kettle temperature to 120°C, and conduct a constant temperature aging experiment, with an aging period of 90 days. After the aging is completed, take out the high-temperature resistant bottle, and after the solution cools to room temperature, observe the morphological changes of the microspheres, and the specific results are shown in Figure 4 .

[0059] As can be seen from Figure 4 , the microspheres are initially spherical, uniformly dispersed, and have good stability at 120°C. After 90 days of aging, the microsphere emulsions in each example can still maintain the initial state without creaming or precipitation, demonstrating excellent thermal stability. This is because the three-dimensional crosslinked network structure of the microspheres effectively suppresses the thermal motion of the polymer chains, the benzene ring rigid monomer significantly improves the thermal deformation temperature of the microspheres, and the stable multiple emulsion interface design forms a dense microsphere shell. The hydrophobic interaction and covalent bond crosslinking between molecules together maintain the structural integrity and dispersion stability of the PTS microspheres in a high temperature environment.

[0060] Weigh the PTS microspheres into a solution with a salinity of 25 x 10 4 mg·L -1 , prepare a 0.5% PTS dispersion, and place it in a 120°C constant temperature oven. Periodically take out the sample and use a laser particle size analyzer to detect its particle size distribution, and an optical microscope to test whether the spherical shape of the microspheres is intact. The experimental results prove that the microspheres of the three examples all perform excellently in terms of temperature resistance and salt resistance, and the specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0061] Table 1 Comparison of the temperature resistance and salt resistance of PTS microspheres (120°C, salinity 25 x 10 4 mg·L -1 )

[0062]

[0063] IV. Evaluation of plugging and oil displacement performance of temperature and salt resistant and slow swelling microspheres PTS

[0064] The plugging and oil displacement performance of the microspheres with a concentration of 0.3% prepared according to examples 1-3 at 120°C was studied by core displacement experiment. The injection rate during displacement was 0.4 mL / min.

[0065] The experimental results of examples 1-3 are shown in FIGS. 1-3, respectively. In example 2, the injection pressure showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing after the injection of the PTS microsphere solution, and increased significantly from the initial 0.056 MPa to 0.195 MPa after the injection of 0.6 PV. The experimental results of examples 1 and 3 were similar to that of example 2. The specific data of the enhanced oil recovery and plugging efficiency of the three examples are shown in Table 2. Figures 5-7

[0066] Table 2. Plugging and oil displacement performance of PTS microspheres (120°C)

[0067]

[0068] The above data show that the temperature and salt resistant and slow swelling microspheres prepared in the present application can form effective plugging in the deep part of the core, and the plugging efficiency is more than 90%. At the same time, the microspheres can significantly improve the oil recovery by improving the mobility ratio and expanding the sweep efficiency.

[0069] The above description is only the preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, and should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
