Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of polymer flooding technology for oilfields, specifically a multifunctional oil displacement polymer with high temperature resistance, high salt resistance and emulsification ability, and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, as my country's oilfield development has gradually entered the high water-cut stage, tertiary oil recovery technology has become the mainstream method for improving crude oil recovery efficiency. Among the many tertiary oil recovery technologies, polymer flooding technology has become the most crucial means due to its wide application and significant effects. This technology mainly improves crude oil recovery by increasing the viscosity of the displacing fluid and expanding its effective range. Acrylamide (AM) has become one of the most frequently used water-soluble polymers in tertiary oil recovery due to its high monomer activity, simple polymerization process, low cost, and ease of synthesizing high molecular weight polymers. However, HPAM's shortcomings in salt resistance, high temperature stability, and shear stability lead to a rapid decrease in its viscosity in the oil reservoir. In addition, due to the excessively high viscosity of some heavy oils, polymer solutions alone are insufficient for extraction, requiring emulsification for effective oil displacement. Furthermore, changes in the pH value of the reservoir environment also significantly affect polymer performance. Therefore, developing a multifunctional oil displacement polymer that adapts to different pH environments and possesses high temperature resistance, high salt resistance, and emulsification capabilities has significant practical importance and market potential. Summary of the Invention

A hydrophobic associative crosslinking network is constructed using a hydrophobic monomer (HM) synthesized from methyl ricinoleate to enhance the polymer's temperature and salt resistance. A cationic polymeric surfactant monomer (CSM) synthesized from ricinoleic acid provides emulsification in acidic environments and enhances the polymer's salt and temperature resistance in alkaline environments. Simultaneously, a nonionic polymeric surfactant monomer (NSM) synthesized from ricinoleic acid endows the polymer with excellent heavy oil emulsifying ability.

[0092] 3. Performance testing of multifunctional oil displacement polymers and HPAM (commercial)
[0093] The multifunctional oil displacement polymer dry powder of Example 1 was prepared into a polymer solution. The preparation method of the polymer solution is to dilute the impurities with a solution of clean and impure. Specifically, the polymer was prepared into a polymer stock solution of 5000 mg / L using 950 mg / L NaCl saline solution, and then the polymer solution concentration was diluted to 1000 mg / L using 4000 mg / L NaCl saline solution.
[0094] ① Heavy oil emulsification performance: At 45℃ and pH=5, the viscosity of the polymer solution was 59.3 mPa·s. When the polymer brine solution was emulsified with crude oil at a 1:1 ratio, the separation of the aqueous phase was observed. After 72 hours, only 5.8% of the aqueous phase separated, while HPAM showed no significant heavy oil emulsification effect. At 45℃ and pH=10, the viscosity of the polymer solution was 88.7 mPa·s. When the polymer brine solution was emulsified with crude oil at a 1:1 ratio, the separation of the aqueous phase was observed. After 72 hours, only 8.3% of the aqueous phase separated, while HPAM showed no significant heavy oil emulsification effect.
[0095] ② Salt resistance: Figure 2 The effect of different NaCl concentrations on the apparent viscosity of the polymer of Example 1 and HPAM is shown. With increasing NaCl concentration, the apparent viscosity of both the polymer of Example 1 and HPAM showed a decreasing trend, but the salt resistance of the polymer of Example 1 was significantly better than that of HPAM.
[0096] ③ Solubility test: At room temperature, the polymer (0.02g) of Example 1 was dissolved in 20g of salt water. The dissolution time was approximately 0.8 hours. Figure 3 The shorter the dissolution time, the faster the dissolution rate, and the better the water solubility. Clearly, the polymer in Example 1 can dissolve well in the brine of the Daqing oil reservoir.
[0097] ④ The effect of temperature: such as Figure 4 As shown, in the brine of the Daqing oil reservoir, the viscosity-temperature curves of different polymer concentrations (Example 1) show that the viscosity of the polymer solution decreases with increasing temperature, exhibiting the 'thermal thinning' phenomenon similar to most water-soluble polymers, following the Arrhenius law.
[0098] ④Aging stability: An aging test was conducted in a 45℃ oven; Figure 5 The effect of different aging times on the apparent viscosity of the polymer was demonstrated. The results showed that the polymer in Example 1 still had a viscosity of over 50 mPa·s after aging at 45°C for 60 days, exhibiting excellent long-term thermal stability, while the viscosity of HPAM was only about 15 mPa·s after aging for 69 days.
[0099] ⑤ Enhanced oil recovery experiment: This experiment was conducted using a multi-functional oil displacement device. Figure 6-1 , 6-2 The effects of the polymer in Example 1 on oil recovery and injection pressure as a function of injection volume are shown. The results indicate that the polymer in Example 1, at a concentration of 0.3%, increased oil recovery by 10.22%, demonstrating a good oil displacement effect, while HPAM increased recovery by 8.21% under the same conditions.

Stir and dissolve to achieve a total monomer mass fraction of 25wt%. Add 10g urea and 18g sodium dodecyl sulfate sequentially. Then adjust the pH of the solution to 7.5 with NaOH solution (30wt%). Transfer the solution to a reactor, adjust the temperature to 5°C, and add 0.04g ammonium persulfate and 0.08g sodium bisulfite. Turn off the temperature control and purge with nitrogen for 0.5h. After adiabatic reaction for 12h, an elastic block is obtained. After granulation, drying, pulverizing, and sieving, the multifunctional oil-displacing polymer dry powder of Example 2 is obtained.
[0102] Following the polymer solution preparation method of Example 1, the polymer solution of Example 2 was prepared. At 45°C and pH=5, the viscosity of the polymer solution was 45.9 mPa·s. The polymer brine solution was emulsified and mixed with crude oil at a 1:1 ratio. The separation of the aqueous phase after emulsification was observed. After 72 hours, only 6.0% of the aqueous phase had separated. At 45°C and pH=10, the viscosity of the polymer solution was 68.1 mPa·s. The polymer brine solution was emulsified and mixed with crude oil at a 1:1 ratio. The separation of the aqueous phase after emulsification was observed. After 72 hours, only 8.2% of the aqueous phase had separated.
