Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drilling fluid, in particular to a drilling fluid suspending agent, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the deepening of exploration and development, the demand for ultra-high temperature drilling fluid is more intense in deep well and ultra-deep well drilling. In the process of ultra-deep well drilling, weighting materials such as barite are usually added to balance the formation pressure, when drilling through high temperature formation, various components in the drilling fluid will undergo physical changes and chemical reactions at ultra-high temperature, resulting in dramatic changes in the rheological properties, sedimentation stability and other properties of the drilling fluid, especially the high temperature degradation of polymer treatment agent in the drilling fluid, which causes the viscosity of the drilling fluid to decrease, resulting in poor suspension and carrying performance of the drilling fluid, and the drilling fluid may be seriously settled and the system performance may be deteriorated after long-term static, which causes the pipe string to be blocked or the pump to be difficult to start, increasing the risk of drilling and completion operation. Therefore, how to ensure that the weighting material is well dispersed and suspended in the drilling fluid under high temperature environment and maintain the suspension stability of the drilling fluid is one of the key technologies for ultra-high temperature drilling fluid in ultra-deep well.

[0003] In the prior art, there are generally two methods to improve the dispersibility and suspension stability of weighting materials such as barite in the drilling fluid under high temperature conditions: (1) using structure stabilizers, suspending agents or dispersants to enhance the spatial network structure of the drilling fluid, improve the supporting capacity of the drilling fluid to barite, and improve the dynamic stability of the weighted drilling fluid; (2) modifying the barite, using a certain surfactant to make the surface of the barite hydrophilic or oleophilic, hindering the barite from coalescing into a cluster, and improving the dispersibility and suspension stability of the barite in the drilling fluid.

[0004] Through the study of the influence of temperature on the stability of organic matter, it is found that the current synthesis method of drilling fluid treatment agent has the following problems: (1) aqueous solution initiation polymerization method: the aqueous solution initiation polymerization reaction temperature is relatively low, therefore, the further reaction / side reaction of the high molecular material under high temperature environment cannot be realized, causing the performance of the additive to be unstable; (2) explosive polymerization synthesis method: the performance of the high molecular material synthesized by explosive polymerization is unstable, and the molecular weight range of the additive is too large, which is caused by the non-uniformity of the system temperature and the raw materials during the explosive polymerization process, therefore, if the mixing is not sufficient, the performance of the additive will be unstable.

The sulfonic acid groups and benzene ring groups increase the molecular chain's resistance to high temperatures and shear failure, thereby improving the drilling fluid's temperature resistance.

[0097] Experimental Example 1

[0098] A base slurry of 500 mL fresh water + 20 wt% NaCl + 3.0 wt% DSP-1 was prepared, and the density of the base slurry was adjusted to 2.4 g / cm 3 using barite with a density of 4.2 g / cm 3 After stirring and sealing for 24 hours, 1.0 wt% of the drilling fluid suspending agent of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was added, respectively, and the slurry was stirred for 20 min to obtain a slurry, which was placed in a 500 mL graduated cylinder to measure the slurry settling performance.

[0099] The slurry was left to stand in an environment of 25±1°C, and the density difference between the upper and lower liquid phases of the slurry was tested using a drilling fluid densitometer. When the density difference was ≥0.02 g / cm 3 , it was recorded as the slurry settling instability time, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0100] Table 1 Influence of suspending agent on stability of base slurry

[0101]

[0102] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the suspending agent in the examples and the comparative examples is applied to the drilling fluid respectively, the suspending agent in the examples is applied to the drilling fluid, the settling stability of the drilling fluid is obviously better than that of the suspending agent in the comparative examples. Among them, the suspending agent prepared by redox initiation in the comparative example 4 has the worst settling stability when applied to the drilling fluid, which is because the polymer in the suspending agent prepared by redox initiation is a straight chain structure, and its supporting effect on the base slurry is much lower than that of the product synthesized by the thermal initiation polymerization method.

[0103] Figure 1 The morphology diagram of the suspending agent prepared in Example 2 dispersed in the aqueous solution is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 It can be seen that the suspending agent is unfolded in the aqueous solution, showing a lamellar structure. This lamellar structure can better improve the static shear force of the drilling fluid, and maintain the suspending stability of the drilling fluid through the static shear force, so that the solid particles in the base slurry will not settle.

[0104] Experimental Example 2

[0105] A base slurry of 500 mL fresh water + 20 wt% NaCl + 3.0% wt DSP-1 was prepared, and barite with a density of 4.2 g / cm 3 was used to adjust the density of the base slurry to 2.4 g / cm 3 After stirring and sealing for 24 hours, 1.0 wt% of the drilling fluid suspending agent of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was added respectively, and after stirring for 20 min, a slurry was obtained. The slurry was placed in an aging tank, and the aging tank was placed in a high-temperature roller oven, and was heated and rolled at 230°C for 16h, and then cooled to room temperature. After stirring the slurry at 10000 rpm for 20 min, it was placed in a 500 mL measuring cylinder, and the settling performance of the slurry was tested.

[0106] The slurry was placed in an environment of 25±1°C, and the density difference between the upper and lower liquid phases of the slurry was tested by using a drilling fluid densitometer. When the density difference was ≥0.02 g / cm 3 , it was recorded as the settling instability time of the slurry, and the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0107] Table 2 Influence of suspending agent on the stability of base slurry at high temperature

[0108]

[0109] The suspending agent prepared in the embodiments 1-6 of the present application can still maintain the stability of the drilling fluid after high temperature treatment. The suspending agent prepared in the embodiment 2 can be applied to the drilling fluid, and the stability time of the drilling fluid can reach 12 days. In the comparative example 1, the polymer is polymerized in the acidic environment without adjusting the pH, and the polymerization degree is higher than that in the alkaline environment, the polymer chain is longer, and the thickening effect is obvious, but the effect of increasing the viscosity is not obvious, and the polymer chain is more likely to break during the high temperature aging process, so the settling stability after aging is poorer. In the comparative example 2, the heating temperature in step (3) is 150 DEG C, which leads to incomplete polymerization reaction, but further branch chain reaction occurs during the high temperature aging process, so the settling stability is improved. In the comparative examples 3 and 5, the monomers are not completely dissolved, so the participation of the monomers and the arrangement order of the monomers are affected during the thermal initiation polymerization process, the suspending agent has weak temperature resistance, the branch chain structure is relatively simple, and the settling stability is poorer. The straight chain structure of the comparative example 4 not only reduces the supporting effect of the polymer on the base slurry, but also greatly reduces the temperature resistance.
