AI Technical Summary
Existing surfactants exhibit poor thermochemical stability in high-temperature reservoirs, and their ability to alter interfacial properties and wettability fails, resulting in low oilfield recovery rates.
A high-temperature oil displacement agent was prepared by combining polyacrylamide, enhanced surfactant, and nano-silica. The enhanced surfactant uses a triazine structure as a bridge, grafted with benzene rings and sodium sulfonate structures, to provide strong hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, thereby reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water.
Maintaining the structural integrity of the oil displacement agent at high temperatures enhances oil recovery, reduces oil-water interfacial tension, forms an oil-in-water emulsion, prevents oil droplet aggregation, and improves crude oil recovery.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oilfield exploitation, in particular to a high-temperature-resistant oil displacement agent for oilfields and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the increasing depletion of conventional oil resources, how to efficiently exploit the residual oil in developed oil reservoirs has become a severe challenge for the oil industry. Water flooding, as the main technology for secondary oil recovery, can maintain the formation energy, but its recovery rate is usually only 30% to 50%, and a large amount of crude oil remains in the formation pores due to capillary force. In order to improve the recovery rate of crude oil, chemical flooding, especially surfactant flooding, has become one of the core technologies for tertiary oil recovery. The basic principle is to add surfactants to the injected water to greatly reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and change the wettability of the reservoir rock, thereby stripping and starting the residual crude oil after water flooding, forming oil bands and driving them to the production well.
[0003] However, surfactant flooding technology faces great bottlenecks when applied to high-temperature reservoirs. There are a large number of deep reservoirs in China and around the world, and the formation temperature is often higher than 85℃, even reaching more than 120℃, with high salinity and divalent ion (such as Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) content. Under such harsh conditions, traditional surfactants, such as conventional petroleum sulfonates, alkyl benzene sulfonates or nonionic surfactants, have inherent defects, such as poor thermal chemical stability, and the interfacial performance and wettability change ability fail at high temperatures. Therefore, developing a new type of oil displacement agent with high oil displacement efficiency and outstanding high-temperature stability has great practical significance and economic value for fully tapping the potential of deep oil and gas resources and improving the recovery rate of crude oil. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a high-temperature-resistant oil displacement agent for oilfields and a preparation method thereof.
[0005] The object of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A high-temperature-resistant oil displacement agent for oilfields, comprising the following raw materials by weight: polyacrylamide 15-25 parts, nano-silicon dioxide 1-5 parts, enhanced surfactant 25-35 parts, and water 40-60 parts.
[0007] The enhanced surfactant is prepared by the following steps:
[0008] Step A1, uniformly mix 4-vinylphenol, sodium hydroxide and acetonitrile, slowly add trichlorocyanuric acid acetonitrile solution and stir uniformly, then stir in an ice water bath for 4h to obtain product 1 solution;
[0009] Further, the ratio of the amount of 4-vinylphenol, sodium hydroxide, acetonitrile and cyanuric chloride acetonitrile solution in step A1 is 0.01-0.03 mol:0.4-1.2 g:100 mL:100 mL;
[0010] Further, the cyanuric chloride acetonitrile solution in step A1 is prepared by mixing and stirring cyanuric chloride and acetonitrile in a ratio of 0.01-0.03 mol:100 mL;
[0011] In step A2, ethylenediamine, sodium hydroxide and acetonitrile are mixed and stirred uniformly to form a mixture 1. The product 1 solution is heated to 55°C, 1 / 2 volume of the mixture 1 is added, and the temperature is maintained for 4-6 h. The temperature is then increased to 90°C, the remaining mixture 1 is added, and the temperature is maintained for 12 h. Filtration, washing and drying yield the triazine derivative.
[0012] Further, the ratio of the amount of ethylenediamine, sodium hydroxide and acetonitrile in the mixture 1 in step A2 is 0.02-0.06 mol:0.8-2.4 g:100 mL.
[0013] In step A3, the triazine derivative and sodium 2-chloroethyl sulfonate are sequentially added to a reactor, water is added, and the temperature is increased to 90-95°C under nitrogen protection. The system is heated to reflux for 24 h while maintaining the pH at 9-10. After the reaction is completed, rotary evaporation, washing and drying yield the triazine-sodium sulfonate derivative.
[0014] Further, the molar ratio of the triazine derivative and sodium 2-chloroethyl sulfonate in step A3 is 1:2.
[0015] Further, in step A3, a 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution is used to maintain the pH of the system at 9-10.
[0016] In step A4, the triazine-sodium sulfonate derivative is mixed and stirred in water and heated to 60°C. A chloroplatinic acid solution is added and stirred for 10-20 min. Then, heptamethyltrisiloxane is added and stirred for 30 min. The temperature is increased to 100-120°C for reflux stirring for 5-7 h. Chloroform is added for dilution, and activated carbon is added to remove the remaining catalyst. Distillation under reduced pressure and drying yield the enhanced surfactant.
[0017] Further, the ratio of the amount of triazine-sodium sulfonate derivative, water, chloroplatinic acid solution, heptamethyltrisiloxane, chloroform and activated carbon in step A4 is 0.02 mol:100 mL:0.25-0.35 mL:0.02 mol:30 mL:5-10 g.
[0018] Further, the chloroplatinic acid solution in step A4 is prepared by mixing and stirring chloroplatinic acid, isopropyl alcohol and water in a ratio of 0.001 mol:3 mL:2 mL.
[0019] A preparation method of a high-temperature-resistant oil displacement agent for oil fields comprises the following steps:
[0020] The raw materials are weighed by weight parts, the enhanced surfactant is added into water and mixed and stirred for 15-25 min, the polyacrylamide is added and stirred for 30 min, and finally the nano silicon dioxide is added and stirred for 10 min, and then ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 2 h, so that the high-temperature-resistant oil displacement agent for oil fields is obtained.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0022] The oil displacement agent for oil fields prepared by the present application is mixed and stirred by polyacrylamide, enhanced surfactant, nano silicon dioxide and water, and has excellent oil displacement performance, low surface tension and excellent high-temperature resistance when used in the oil field exploitation process; wherein, compared with the traditional surfactant, the introduction of the enhanced surfactant improves the high-temperature resistance and oil displacement efficiency of the oil displacement agent.
[0023] The enhanced surfactant prepared by the present application is prepared by taking triazine structure as a "bridge", and then grafting benzene ring, -Si-(CH3)3 and sodium sulfonate structure; wherein, the sodium sulfonate structure provides strong hydrophilicity, so that the molecule can be firmly anchored in the water phase, the benzene ring, -Si-(CH3)3 and sodium sulfonate structure provide strong hydrophobicity, this "one end hydrophilic and one end hydrophobic" amphiphilic structure enables it to be enriched on the oil-water interface, the hydrophobic group penetrates into the oil phase, and the hydrophilic group remains in the water phase, thereby effectively reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water, this surfactant can stabilize these oil droplets to form oil-in-water emulsion, prevent small oil droplets from re-coalescing into large oil beads to block pores again, and thus greatly improve the oil recovery. Ordinary surfactants will quickly degrade or fail in high-temperature (such as >85℃) reservoirs, while the enhanced structure in the present application endows it with excellent thermal stability, because the triazine ring structure is an aromatic heterocyclic structure with excellent thermal stability, its chemical bond energy is high, and a very high energy is required to break it, so it is very resistant to thermal decomposition, and the Si-C bond and Si-O bond contained therein both have high bond energy and good thermal stability, and the benzene ring is a classic aromatic ring structure, its resonance effect makes it very stable and not prone to ring-opening or degradation reaction at high temperature, which ensures the structural integrity of the surfactant at high temperature. In addition, the nitrogen atom on the triazine ring has a lone pair of electrons, which can form a coordination with metal ions on the surface of rocks (such as clay minerals), or form a hydrogen bond with the surface hydroxyl group, this strong adsorption effect is equivalent to "anchoring" the surfactant molecules on the surface of the rock, greatly reducing the desorption rate under the scouring of high-temperature water flow, thereby prolonging the effective period.
