Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical technology for oil and gas field development, specifically to an acidizing drag-reducing agent suitable for carbonate reservoirs, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In oil and gas field development, carbonate reservoirs, due to their low porosity and poor permeability, require acidizing operations to dissolve blockages in the rock matrix or fractures, thereby improving reservoir conductivity. To enhance dissolution efficiency, acidizing operations often employ high-concentration hydrochloric acid systems of 15–28 wt%. However, when high-concentration hydrochloric acid is pumped at high flow rates (2–4 m³ / min), it generates significant flow friction in the wellbore and fractures, leading to excessively high surface pump pressure (even exceeding the equipment's pressure limit), limiting the acid penetration distance, and reducing the acidizing effect.

[0003] Drag-reducing agents are the core chemical agents for reducing friction in acid solutions. Existing technologies mainly suffer from the following three major drawbacks:

[0004] First, the problem of strong acid degradation: Traditional drag-reducing agents (such as polyacrylamide PAM and polyethylene oxide PEO) contain amide or ether bonds in their main chain, which are easily hydrolyzed and broken in 20 wt% hydrochloric acid (pH≈-0.3), resulting in a rapid decrease in molecular weight and loss of drag-reducing performance (see patents CN103436321B and US10752845B2).

[0005] Second, the problem of high temperature instability: The temperature of deep carbonate reservoirs is generally 100–120℃. At high temperatures, traditional polymer chains are prone to thermal oxidation and breakage. Existing products generally have a stability time of <24 hours at this temperature, which cannot meet the requirements of long-term construction.

[0006] Third, the drag reduction efficiency is insufficient: existing drag reduction agents (including some surfactant micelle synergistic systems, such as CN108728076B) are still based on linear polymers, and their drag reduction rate in 20 wt% hydrochloric acid is generally <60%, and it further decreases with increasing temperature, which cannot meet the engineering requirement of "drag reduction rate ≥70% + stable for 48 h".

[0007] In addition, existing products also have problems such as significant reservoir damage (high polymer adsorption capacity and difficulty in backflow) and high patent barriers (depending on PAM / PEO structure).

[0008] Therefore, developing a novel drag-reducing agent with a molecular structure resistant to strong acids, an efficient topological configuration, synergistic stability of the system, and low reservoir damage has become a key technical requirement for acidizing operations in deep carbonate reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The first objective of this invention is to solve the technical problem that traditional drag-reducing agents cannot stably improve carbonate rock salt reservoirs under strong acid and high temperature conditions, and to provide an acidizing drag-reducing agent suitable for carbonate rock reservoirs, which is applicable to acid fracturing and acid washing work in deep carbonate rock salt reservoirs.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an acidizing drag-reducing agent suitable for carbonate reservoirs, the drag-reducing agent comprising the following components: 0.15~0.40 wt% hyperbranched polysulfonamide copolymer, 0.10~0.20 wt% cocamidopropyl hydroxysulfonate betaine, and 0.05~0.15 wt% C 12- C 14 The formula comprises fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, 0.3–0.7 wt% soluble calcium salt, 2.0–6.0 wt% C1–C3 lower alcohols, 0.02–0.10 wt% phenolic free radical scavenger, and 31 wt% industrial hydrochloric acid. This formula uses 0.15–0.40 wt% HB-PSA-co-VP as the core component; CAPHS, as an amphoteric surfactant, can be compounded with the alcohol ether to form worm-like micelles, enhancing drag reduction efficiency. Therefore, this formula can improve drag reduction rate through the synergistic effect of "hyperbranched polymer-worm-like micelles".

[0011] Preferably, the C 12- C 14 The ethylene oxide addition number of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is 6–8. The C2000 selected in this scheme... 12- C 14 Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether is a nonionic co-surfactant that can adjust the morphology of micelles and improve their stability at 120°C.

[0017] S13, Hydrolysis and Precipitation: Cool the third solvent to room temperature, add 25 wt% ammonia water dropwise to adjust the pH until the pH is 8-9, so that -SO2Cl in styrene sulfonyl chloride is hydrolyzed to -SO2NH2; add 2 volumes of anhydrous ethanol to the third solvent, after precipitation and filtration, vacuum dry at 60-70℃ for 8-12 hours to obtain a white powder intermediate;

[0018] S14. Quaternization reaction: Dissolve the white powder intermediate in deionized water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:10 (g / mL) to form a fourth solvent; add iodomethane at a molar ratio of 1.2:1 to the N-vinylpyridine derivative unit; stir the reaction at 60±2℃ for 2-3 hours; after the reaction is complete, rotary evaporate to concentrate to 1 / 3 of the original volume of the white powder intermediate, add ethanol for secondary precipitation, and vacuum dry to obtain the target copolymer.

[0019] This method yields HB-PSA-co-VP, which serves as the core drag-reducing component of the acid-reducing drag reducer. HB-PSA-co-VP employs a full CC backbone, enabling it to withstand strong acid hydrolysis. It contains side chains with sulfonamide and quaternized pyridine groups. The hyperbranched structure formed in HB-PSA-co-VP can increase the hydrodynamic volume and is stabilized by quaternized pyridine groups in synergistic micelle formation.

[0028] Preferably, the method further includes the addition of functional additives, which are added between steps S24 and S25, comprising adding 8.0 kg of 0.80 wt% composite corrosion inhibitor and 5.0 kg of 0.50 wt% iron ion stabilizer, and stirring for 15-20 minutes; the iron ion stabilizer includes at least one of citric acid or disodium EDTA.

[0055] This method yields HB-PSA-co-VP, which serves as the core drag-reducing component of the acid-reducing drag reducer. HB-PSA-co-VP employs a full CC backbone, enabling it to withstand strong acid hydrolysis. It contains side chains with sulfonamide and quaternized pyridine groups. The hyperbranched structure formed in HB-PSA-co-VP can increase the hydrodynamic volume and is stabilized by quaternized pyridine groups in synergistic micelle formation.

[0056] The HB-PSA-co-VP has a molecular structure that meets the requirements of "strong acid resistance + high drag reduction", and its specific structure is as follows:

[0057] Main chain structure: It adopts a full CC main chain, which is copolymerized from 40 mol% styrene-derived units, 55 mol% N-vinylpyridine-derived units, and 5 mol% sulfonamide-functionalized styrene-derived units, and has no easily hydrolyzed amide / ether bonds;

By adding the composite corrosion inhibitor, the wellbore metal in oil and gas field development can be protected, preventing hydrochloric acid corrosion; the iron ion stabilizer can complex Fe... 2+ / Fe 3+ To avoid the formation of Fe(OH)3 precipitate, which could clog carbonate reservoirs.

[0065] An acidizing drag-reducing agent suitable for carbonate rock reservoirs is applied to carbonate rock salt reservoirs with a formation temperature of 100~120℃ and a well depth >4000m. During operation, the drag-reducing agent composition is injected into the wellbore through a high-pressure pump at a discharge rate of 2~4m³ / min. During the injection process, the surface pump pressure drops by ≥30%, and the core conductivity recovery rate of the carbonate rock reservoir after acidizing is ≥90%.

[0148] Comparative Examples 2-5 represent the test parameters for drag-reducing agents lacking one or more key components. The drag-reducing agent compositions of the present invention are compared with those of Comparative Examples 2-5, as shown in the table below:

[0149]

[0150] Comparative Example 2 (without CAPHS): CAPHS is a key amphoteric surfactant for the formation of worm-like micelles. Without it, micelles are difficult to form effectively, and the drag reduction rate decreases by 27.1%. At high temperatures, the remaining components are difficult to stabilize the system, resulting in slight stratification and a 9.2% decrease in the recovery rate of core conductivity.

[0151] Comparative Example 3 (Missing C) 12- C 14 Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether: This component can adjust the micelle morphology and improve high-temperature stability. Its absence reduces micelle stability and drag reduction rate by 22.7%. After aging, the drag reduction rate decreases by 24.1%.

[0152] Comparative Example 4 (without soluble calcium salt): Soluble calcium salt provides Ca²⁺ to regulate ionic strength and promotes ordered assembly of micelles. After its absence, the micelle assembly effect deteriorates, the drag reduction rate decreases by 18.2%, and the core conductivity recovery rate decreases by 5.1%.

[0153] Comparative Example 5 (C1-C3 lower alcohols missing): Lower alcohols act as co-solvents to improve the solubility of polymers and surfactants. After their absence, compatibility decreased slightly, drag reduction rate decreased by 15.9%, and the solution became slightly turbid.
