Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Surfactants, possessing both lipophilic (hydrophobic) and hydrophilic (oleophobic) properties, disperse their molecules primarily at the oil-water interface when dissolved in water. This significantly reduces interfacial tension, meaning the surfactant system can overcome the cohesive forces between crude oil particles, thereby increasing the flow rate of crude oil through pore throats. The oil displacement effect of surfactants also manifests in reversing the wettability of lipophilic rock surfaces, emulsifying crude oil, increasing surface charge density, and promoting oil droplet coalescence.
[0003] The surfactants widely used in oilfields for enhanced oil recovery mainly include anionic and nonionic surfactants. However, single surfactants are limited by reservoir conditions and rarely achieve ideal oil recovery rates. For example, anionic surfactants (petroleum sulfonates, petroleum carboxylates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, etc.) have relatively poor interfacial activity and are not resistant to salt and salinity. Nonionic surfactants (polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene, etc.) can tolerate salt and poor salinity, but are not temperature resistant. Therefore, most surfactants used in tertiary oil recovery currently employ compound systems. Compounding surfactants can improve their oil recovery efficiency and enhance the temperature resistance, formation water salinity, and salt resistance of individual surfactants.
[0004] Chinese invention patent 201510683628.0 discloses a composite surfactant composition for oil displacement in medium-salinity reservoirs, consisting of anionic and cationic surfactants. This composition addresses the problem of poor oil displacement efficiency in tertiary oil recovery processes in medium-salinity reservoirs (10,000–50,000 mg / L), but it is insufficient for the development of high-salinity (above 50,000 mg / L) reservoirs. Chinese invention patent 202010939526.1 discloses a nonionic-anionic composite surfactant, its preparation method, and its application, composed of sodium octanoate and Sapindus mukorossi extract. This composite surfactant maintains good foaming performance at salinity levels of 20,000–40,000 mg / L, but its foaming performance is poor at salinity levels above 40,000 mg / L, affecting oil recovery efficiency. Chinese invention patent 202410788746.7 discloses a cationic surfactant microemulsion and its preparation method, which is made of quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant, fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether, alkyl pyrrolidone, isomeric alcohol ether, and water. This microemulsion has a formation water salinity tolerance of up to 90,000 mg / L, which is not suitable for higher salinity requirements. Moreover, the problem of poor formation adsorption performance of the aforementioned composite surfactant remains unresolved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs and its preparation method. This composite surfactant can still achieve ultra-low interfacial tension in high-salinity reservoirs (50,000-200,000 mg / L), thus solving at least some of the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs, by weight percentage, comprises: 0.1-0.3% anionic nonionic surfactant, 0.01-0.03% cationic surfactant, and the balance being formation water; wherein the anionic nonionic surfactant is obtained by reacting a hydroxyl-containing compound with ethylene oxide to obtain polyoxyethylene ether, and aconitine is reacted with rosin and aconitine to obtain aconitine-modified rosin, then the polyoxyethylene ether and aconitine-modified rosin undergo esterification, then a sulfonating agent is added for sulfonation, and finally neutralization is performed to obtain the final product.
[0007] Furthermore, the aconitic acid-modified rosin is prepared by an addition reaction between rosin and aconitic acid; wherein, The molar ratio of rosin to aconitic acid is 1:(1.2-2); The reaction conditions are: temperature 170-190℃, time 2-4h.
[0008] Typically, the conjugated double bonds in rosin and the double bonds in aconitic acid can undergo an addition reaction at high temperatures, generally above 150°C, and for more than 1 hour. The specific reaction temperature and time are adjusted based on the actual amount and ratio of rosin and aconitic acid used. In this application, a reaction temperature of 170-190°C and a reaction time of 2-4 hours are preferred.
[0009] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the polyoxyethylene ether to aconitic acid-modified rosin is 10:(3-5).
[0010] The anionic-nonionic surfactant of this application is a modified fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfonate surfactant. Traditional fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfonates combine the advantages of both anionic and nonionic surfactants and can be used in reservoirs with a salinity of less than 100,000 mg / L, but they cannot be used under higher salinity conditions. Compared with conventional fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfonates, the surfactant of this application introduces aconitine-modified rosin. On the one hand, the carboxyl groups and other groups in aconitine-modified rosin can chelate with these metal ions to form stable chelates. This not only reduces the impact of metal ions on surfactant performance but may also improve the dispersibility and stability of surfactants in high-salinity solutions through chelate formation. Furthermore, the introduction of aconitic acid-modified rosin increases steric hindrance, hindering salt ions and other impurity particles from approaching surfactant molecules, reducing their interference with surfactant performance and thus improving salinity tolerance. Additionally, it facilitates interaction with salt ions, such as forming ion pairs with cations, which to some extent shields the electrostatic repulsion between surfactant ion head groups, making it easier for the surfactant to form micelles in salt solutions, thereby improving salt tolerance. Moreover, the combination of this anionic / nonionic surfactant with a cationic surfactant also helps improve the stability of the system, enabling it to maintain good low interfacial tension stability under long-term high-salinity reservoir conditions. However, the introduction of aconitic acid-modified rosin can affect the formation adsorption performance of the surfactant; therefore, the amount of aconitic acid-modified rosin used needs to be limited to avoid a significant decrease in the formation adsorption tolerance of the composite surfactant.
[0011] Furthermore, the hydroxyl-containing compound includes at least one dihydroxy alcohol; the dihydroxy alcohol is selected from dihydroxy alcohols having 12-16 carbon atoms, such as 1,2-dodecanediol, 1,2-hexadecanediol, etc.
[0012] This application selects dihydroxy alcohols with 12-16 carbon atoms to prepare fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, whose hydrophobic segments give them certain resistance to mineralization and salt.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the hydroxyl-containing compound further comprises 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone; the weight ratio of the dihydroxy alcohol to 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone is 10:(0-6), preferably 10:(1-2).
[0014] In the preparation process of polyoxyethylene ether in this application, 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone is used to replace part of the dihydroxy alcohol. The introduction of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone changes the arrangement and distribution of the composite surfactant near the formation, reducing the number of polyoxyethylene ether molecules adsorbed on the formation surface per unit area, which helps to reduce the amount of formation adsorption and make up for the defects brought about by the introduction of aconitic acid modified rosin. In addition, the molecular structure of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone can form a more stable structure with polyoxyethylene ether, which helps to resist ion interference under high mineralization conditions and improve its mineralization resistance.
[0015] Furthermore, the sulfonating agent is selected from chlorosulfonic acid or fuming sulfuric acid.
[0016] Furthermore, the preparation method of the anionic nonionic surfactant includes the following steps: (1) Mix catalyst I with a hydroxyl-containing compound, heat to 100-150℃ under inert gas protection, add ethylene oxide to react, and obtain polyoxyethylene ether; (2) Mix the polyoxyethylene ether obtained in step (1) and aconitine-modified rosin, add catalyst II, and react at 80-90℃ for 4-6 hours to obtain esterified modified polyoxyethylene ether. (3) Mix the esterified modified polyoxyethylene ether, catalyst III and sulfonating agent, and react at 100-130℃ for 6-10h; after the reaction is complete, cool down to below 70℃, add alkali solution for neutralization, cool to room temperature, distill under reduced pressure, add ethanol to precipitate solid, filter, continue to distill under reduced pressure, and evaporate the solvent to obtain the product.
[0017] Optionally, in step (1), the molar ratio of the hydroxyl-containing compound to ethylene oxide is 1:(12-20); the reaction time is at least 0.5h, and can be 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h or even longer, depending on the amount of reactants, reaction temperature, and the type and amount of catalyst. The catalyst I is selected from at least one organic alkali metal hydroxide, sodium alkoxide, or organic amine, and is exemplary but not limited to sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, triethylamine, etc. The amount of catalyst I is 0.1-0.5% of the total mass of the hydroxyl-containing compound and ethylene oxide.
[0018] Optionally, in step (2), the catalyst II is p-toluenesulfonic acid, and the amount of catalyst II is 0.1-3% of the total mass of the reaction raw materials.
[0019] Optionally, in step (3), the catalyst III is selected from urea and the amount used is 0.3-3% of the weight of the esterified modified polyoxyethylene ether.
[0020] Furthermore, the cationic surfactant is a quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant, which contains at least one C12-C18 alkyl quaternary ammonium salt or imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, preferably a C12-C18 alkyl quaternary ammonium salt.
[0021] Optionally, the C12-C18 alkyl quaternary ammonium salt is selected from at least one of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride, hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, and octadecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride.
[0022] Optionally, the imidazoline-type cationic surfactant is selected from at least one of oleic acid-based imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, benzoic acid-based imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, naphthenic acid-based imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, salicylic acid-based quaternary ammonium salt, or lauric acid-based imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt.
[0023] In a further embodiment, the quaternary ammonium salt-type cationic surfactant further comprises an acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt, wherein the acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt is selected from at least one of methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, methacryloyloxyethyl-dodecyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride, and methacryloyloxyethyl-dodecyl-dimethyl ammonium bromide.
[0024] Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salt-type cationic surfactant is a combination of acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt and C12-C18 alkyl quaternary ammonium salt, wherein the proportion of acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt is 0-30%, preferably 10-30%. That is, the proportion of acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt in the quaternary ammonium salt-type cationic surfactant is 0-30%.
[0025] This application combines acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt with C12-C18 alkyl quaternary ammonium salts, exhibiting a certain synergistic effect. Combined with anionic-nonionic surfactants, this helps to further improve the salinity resistance of the composite surfactant and reduce formation adsorption, enabling its use in reservoirs with a salinity of 200,000 mg / L. However, the dosage of acryloyloxyethyl alkyl quaternary ammonium salt should not be excessive to avoid increasing formation adsorption.
[0026] According to another aspect of this application, a method for preparing a composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs is provided, comprising the following steps: adding an anionic nonionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant to formation water and mixing them thoroughly to obtain the product.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. This application provides a composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs. By combining anionic nonionic surfactants with quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactants, the system exhibits low interfacial tension, stability, and good salt tolerance under high salinity conditions (50,000-200,000 mg / L), and can be used to improve oil recovery in high-salinity reservoirs.
[0028] 2. The composite surfactant for oil displacement in high-salinity reservoirs of this application, with the addition of specific anionic-nonionic surfactants, has higher resistance to salinity, formation adsorption, and stability compared with conventional anionic-nonionic surfactants.
[0029] 3.

[0050] Test Example 1 Composite surfactants were prepared using simulated formation water with a total mineralization of 50,000-200,000 mg / L and a total calcium and magnesium ion concentration of 2,827 mg / L, respectively, according to the methods provided in the above examples and comparative examples. The oil-water interfacial tension was tested using a TX-500C rotating drop interfacial tensiometer at a test temperature of 50°C.
[0051] The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0052] Table 1
[0053] As shown in the table, compared to the comparative example, the composite surfactant obtained in the examples can best reduce the oil-water interfacial tension to 10 under a mineralization degree of 50,000 mg / L. -4 It has a concentration of mN / m and can form low interfacial tension even under salinity conditions of 100,000 mg / L and 200,000 mg / L, making it suitable for reservoirs with salinity of at least 50,000-200,000 mg / L.
[0054] Test Example 2 A composite surfactant was prepared using simulated formation water with a total mineralization of 200,000 mg / L and a total calcium and magnesium ion concentration of 2,827 mg / L, according to the methods provided in the above examples and comparative examples. The oil-water interfacial tension (denoted as the initial oil-water interfacial tension) was measured at 80°C. The surfactant was then encapsulated and subjected to a long-term stability thermal test in an 80°C water bath for 6 months. The oil-water interfacial tension after 6 months was then measured.
[0055] Test results are as follows Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 Groups 1-15 correspond to Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively, as shown in the figure. Compared with the comparative examples, the composite surfactants obtained in the examples show a smaller change in oil-water interfacial tension and better stability after long-term heat treatment.
[0056] Test Example 3 The static adsorption test mainly explores the adsorption loss of surfactant on the formation core. The test method is as follows: the composite surfactant is mixed with 80-mesh quartz sand at a ratio of 5:1, shaken at 90℃ for 24 hours, cooled and centrifuged, the supernatant is taken, and the concentration of surfactant is determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to calculate the adsorption amount of surfactant in mg / g. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0057] Table 2
[0058] As shown in the table, compared with the comparative examples, the composite surfactants obtained in Examples 1-2 have lower static adsorption capacity and better formation adsorption resistance, thus reducing surfactant loss. Comparing Examples 1 and 2 with Comparative Examples 3-6, it can be seen that the presence of aconitic acid-modified rosin in the anionic-nonionic surface modifier can improve the adsorption resistance of the surfactant to a certain extent, but its dosage needs to be controlled to avoid excessive dosage leading to a decrease in the formation adsorption resistance of the surfactant. Furthermore, the introduction of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone can further enhance the formation adsorption resistance and compensate for the poor formation adsorption resistance.
[0059] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, this application is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of this application without departing from the scope of this application should be within the protection scope of this application.
