Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial enhanced oil recovery technology, and in particular to a high-temperature resistant lipopeptide-enhanced foam flooding system, its screening method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] As old oilfields in eastern my country enter the high water-cut development stage, the main focus of oilfield exploration and development is shifting towards high-temperature, high-salinity, and low-permeability reservoirs to ensure increased production. While chemical flooding technology has made significant contributions to the development of conventional oil reservoirs in my country, its effectiveness decreases sharply in extreme environments such as high temperature, high salinity, and narrow pores, and it also faces challenges such as difficulty in demulsification, thus reducing the extent of enhanced oil recovery. In recent years, foam flooding technology has become a widely used enhanced oil recovery technology to address the development challenges of high heterogeneity and difficult water injection in medium- and low-permeability reservoirs. Its system mainly consists of gases such as air, nitrogen, and CO2, foaming agents primarily composed of chemical surfactants, and foam stabilizers primarily composed of polymers and nanoparticles. However, chemical surfactants and polymers have problems such as low efficiency, emulsification stability and poor biodegradability under extreme environments. Therefore, as high-temperature, high-salt and low-permeability reservoirs have become the main battleground for increasing reserves and production, there is an urgent need to develop biofoam flooding technology with composite oil displacement mechanisms such as profile control and water shut-off, temperature and salt resistance, no demulsification effect and low interfacial tension. This can not only help promote the national "dual carbon" strategy, but also realize the green and high-quality development of my country's oilfields.
[0003] According to literature search, the patent "Foam Base Liquid, Preparation Method and Preparation Method of Temperature and Salt Resistant CO2 Foam Oil Displacement System" (CN119684993 A) discloses the foam base liquid, preparation method and preparation method of temperature and salt resistant CO2 foam oil displacement system. The foam base liquid includes a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer and water. The foaming agent is a betaine-type surfactant and the foam stabilizer is a biopolysaccharide polymer. The present invention effectively solves the problem of viscosity reduction or even failure of traditional foam stabilizer polyacrylamide in high temperature and high salt environment, and can significantly improve the stability of CO2 foam. However, the above technical solution still has the following shortcomings: (1) The foaming agent used in the patent is a betaine-type surfactant. This type of chemical surfactant has the problem of large reservoir adsorption, so it is difficult to effectively migrate to the deep part of the reservoir to foam, resulting in a significant reduction in water shut-off and profile control performance; (2) The temperature of the foam base liquid in the patent is 20-130℃, and the foam system has weak temperature resistance.
[0004] A literature search revealed a patent, "A Foam System and Its Preparation Method and Application" (CN118530709A), which discloses a foam system, its preparation method, and its application. The foam system provided by this invention uses alkyl glycosides and betaine as foaming agents. These, along with a foam stabilizer, form a three-dimensional foam framework in a brine solution. The compound system formed by alkyl glycosides and betaine enhances the solubilization ability for methane (a major component of hydrocarbons). Furthermore, the foaming agent and foam stabilizer do not precipitate or degrade in the brine solution, giving the foam system long-term stability and effectively solving the problem of adaptability of foam systems in high-temperature, high-salinity oil and gas reservoirs. However, the above technical solutions still have the following shortcomings: (1) The foaming agent used in this patent is a combination of betaine and alkyl glycoside. This type of foaming agent combination has the risk of large reservoir adsorption and chromatographic separation during migration; (2) The foaming agent combination in this patent enhances the solubilization ability of methane (the main component of hydrocarbon gas). Although the foam is more stable, it will also form a stable emulsion with crude oil, which will affect subsequent demulsification; (3) The temperature of the high-temperature and high-salinity oil and gas reservoirs applicable to the system in this patent is 20-130℃, and the salinity is 5000-230000mg / L. The upper limit of its reservoir temperature is relatively low.
[0005] A literature search revealed a patent titled "High-Temperature Resistant Foam Displacement Agent" (CN117467423B), which provides a high-temperature resistant foam displacement agent. This high-temperature resistant foam displacement agent comprises a foaming agent and hydrophilic nanoparticles. The high-temperature resistant foam displacement agent of this invention has good temperature resistance and foaming properties, and also has good plugging properties under high-temperature conditions, thereby improving the recovery rate of crude oil. However, the above technical solution still has the following shortcomings: (1) the foaming agent used in this patent is mainly a chemically synthesized surfactant; (2) the maximum formation water salinity applicable to this patent is only 20,000 mg / L.
[0006] According to literature search, a patent "A method for regulating carbon dioxide foam" (CN106590600B) provides a method for regulating carbon dioxide foam. The foam regulating agent contains: nonionic oligomer surfactant, organic foam stabilizer and water. The foam regulating agent used has a low dosage in actual use, good foaming ability and easy demulsification, and carbon dioxide foam regulation has a good blocking and profile control ability. However, the above technical solution still has the following shortcomings: (1) The foaming agent used in this patent is mainly chemically synthesized nonionic oligomer surfactant; (2) The temperature resistance of the system in this patent is 40-80℃ and the pressure resistance is 8-12MPa, which is a small range of temperature resistance and pressure resistance.
[0007] A literature search revealed a patent, "A Demulsifier and its Preparation Method and Application" (CN116023667B), which provides a demulsifier, its preparation method, and its application. The demulsifier provided by this invention contains a large number of tertiary amine groups, effectively reducing the strength of the oil-water interface film and exhibiting good dehydration effects and rapid dehydration speed for foam flooding produced fluids at low temperatures. However, the above technical solution still has the following shortcomings: this patent adds a demulsifier to the foam flooding produced fluid to achieve rapid dehydration, but does not reduce the difficulty of demulsification from the source.
[0008] How to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is the challenge facing this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the shortcomings of the existing technologies, this invention discloses a high-temperature resistant lipopeptide-enhanced foam flooding system and its application. Focusing on the problems of strong heterogeneity in high-temperature, high-salt, and low-permeability oil reservoirs, and the insufficient performance of chemical foaming agents and foam stabilizers under extreme environments, this invention utilizes the characteristics of lipopeptide surfactants in biosurfactants, such as low critical micelle concentration (CMC), small micelle size, strong temperature and salt resistance, easy demulsification, significant reduction of oil-water interfacial tension, and effective dispersion and stabilization of nanoparticles. These characteristics are combined with biosynthetic nanoparticles to construct a high-temperature resistant lipopeptide-enhanced foam flooding system.
[0010] Currently, nanomaterials are mainly synthesized using physical, chemical, and biological methods. Among these, the biological method for synthesizing nanoparticles has advantages such as simple synthesis steps, low cost, abundant raw materials, and environmental friendliness, thus showing good application potential. However, the poor dispersion stability of nanoparticles is the main factor limiting their application in oilfields. Therefore, the high-temperature lipopeptide-enhanced foam flooding system constructed in this invention utilizes biosynthesized nanoparticles as foam stabilizers to increase the gas-liquid-liquid film strength, achieving the purpose of diffusion. On the other hand, after foam rupture, lipopeptide surfactants can be used to encapsulate the nanoparticles, effectively reducing nanoparticle aggregation and sedimentation, and fully leveraging the oil displacement characteristics of nanoparticles. Furthermore, due to the small size of lipopeptide micelles and nanoparticles, both can easily enter the fine pores of low-permeability reservoirs, and the synergistic effect between the two can further reduce interfacial tension and change wettability. In addition, the produced fluid of this system easily precipitates in the aqueous phase under normal temperature conditions, without demulsification problems, thus it is suitable for high-temperature, high-salinity, and low-permeability reservoirs, significantly improving their development effect.
