Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to a plugging agent for reconstructing inefficient horizontal wells and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Inefficient horizontal wells in old oilfields, during long-term development, are generally affected by formation pressure fluctuations, fluid scouring, casing corrosion, and reservoir heterogeneity. They commonly face core problems such as wellbore damage and leakage, severe formation water channeling, and water cut exceeding 90%. This results in reservoir utilization rates of less than 30%, an average annual decline in single-well production, and some wells being forced to shut down due to excessive water production, causing significant resource waste and economic losses. Wellbore reconstruction, a key technology for restoring horizontal well productivity, focuses on efficiently sealing the pore channels of old wellbores with chemical plugging agents to cut off water channeling. However, existing plugging agents are difficult to adapt to complex and harsh formation environments and suffer from insufficient initiator performance. Traditional plugging agents often use single oil-soluble or water-soluble initiators (such as ammonium persulfate and azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride AIBA), which suffer from poor water solubility, uneven dispersion, and mismatch between decomposition temperature and polymerization system. This leads to incomplete monomer polymerization, a wide molecular weight distribution, and pore defects in the gel network, ultimately resulting in low gelation efficiency and weak gel strength. Meanwhile, the crosslinking system is simple, with insufficient shear resistance and strength; the stabilization mechanism is imperfect, resulting in poor temperature and salt resistance; and there is a sharp contradiction between injectability and plugging properties.

[0003] Therefore, developing a wellbore reconstruction plugging agent with strong temperature and salt resistance, good injectability, and high sealing efficiency is of great significance for solving the problem of inefficient horizontal well development. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a plugging agent for reconstructing inefficient horizontal wells and its preparation method. The method involves synthesizing sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate and compounding it with lauroyl peroxide as an initiator. The resulting plugging agent exhibits high plugging efficiency and good injectability.

[0005] A plugging agent for rebuilding the wellbore inefficient horizontal wells is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts water, 26-31 parts composite monomer, 0.35-0.55 parts functional monomer, 0.012-0.016 parts initiator, 0.9-1.3 parts crosslinking agent, and 0.055-0.075 parts stabilizer. The composite monomer is a mixture of acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid; The functional monomer is a mixture of 1-vinylimidazole and N-vinylcaprolactam; The initiator is prepared by the following method: sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate and lauroyl peroxide are mixed and added to an aqueous solution of Tween 80 at a mass ratio of (18-22):100. The mixture is stirred and dispersed at 10-20°C for 25-35 min, deoxygenated for 8-12 min, and then sealed and refrigerated.

[0006] Preferably, the stirring and dispersing speed is 1200-1600 rpm.

[0007] Preferably, the sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate is prepared by the following method: (1) Mix azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride with methyl acrylate, add it to N,N-dimethylformamide, and react at 40-50℃ for 6-8h to obtain the intermediate azobisisobutyramidine propionate methyl acrylate. (2) Mix the methyl azobisisobutyramide propionate with sodium sulfite, add water, react at 65-75℃ for 7-9h, cool to room temperature, add anhydrous ethanol for recrystallization, let stand and filter, wash the crystals with ethanol, and dry under vacuum to obtain sodium azobisisobutyramide propionate sulfonate.

[0008] Preferably, the molar ratio of azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride to methyl acrylate is 1:(2-2.2), and the molar ratio of azobisisobutyramamide propionate to sodium sulfite is 1:(2.0-2.1).

[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate to lauroyl peroxide is (2-4):1; and the concentration of the Tween 80 aqueous solution is 0.03-0.06wt%.

[0010] Preferably, the mass ratio of acrylamide to 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid is 7.2:2.8-8.8:1.2.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of 1-vinylimidazole to N-vinylcaprolactam is (3-5):1.

[0012] Preferably, the crosslinking agent is a mixture of polyethyleneimine and polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether in a mass ratio of (4-6):1; the number average molecular weight of the polyethyleneimine is 1900-2100 Da, and the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether is 400-600 Da.

[0013] Preferably, the stabilizer is a mixture of sulfonated hydroxyethyl cellulose and povidone K30 in a mass ratio of (2-4):1; the sulfonated hydroxyethyl cellulose has a degree of sulfonation substitution of 3.0 and a viscosity of 12000 mPa·s, and the viscosity corresponds to the viscosity of a 2wt% aqueous solution at 25°C.

[0014] Preferably, the raw materials are composed of the following parts by weight: 100 parts water, 28 parts composite monomer, 0.45 parts functional monomer, 0.014 parts initiator, 1.1 parts crosslinking agent, and 0.065 parts stabilizer; and the composite monomer is a mixture of acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid in a mass ratio of 8.2:1.8.

[0015] The method for preparing the plugging agent for rebuilding the wellbore of inefficient horizontal wells includes the following steps: Step 1: Weigh the composite monomer and functional monomer, add them to water, stir to dissolve, and then adjust the pH of the system to 6.5-7.5 with NaOH solution to obtain a mixed monomer solution; Step 2: Deoxygenate the mixed monomer solution for 16-21 min, add the initiator, first heat to 45-50℃ and react for 1-1.5 h, then heat to 55-60℃ and react for 1-1.5 h, cool to room temperature to obtain polymer colloid; Step 3: Add a stabilizer to the polymer adhesive, first ultrasonically disperse for 10-20 minutes, then stir at 380-480 rpm for 30-40 minutes, and finally add a crosslinking agent and continue stirring for 18-24 minutes to obtain the plugging agent.

[0016] Preferably, the deoxygenation in this invention is carried out by introducing nitrogen gas, and the flow rate of nitrogen gas is 1.1-1.6 L / min.

[0017] In this invention, acrylamide (AM) in the composite monomer provides a good crosslinking basis, and the sulfonic acid group of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) can enhance the salt resistance and thermal stability of the polymer. By precisely adjusting the ratio of the two, the optimal balance of the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the molecular chain is achieved, which greatly improves the stability of the plugging agent in a high-mineralization environment. The rigid imidazole ring of 1-vinylimidazole (VIM) in the composite functional monomer forms a synergistic steric hindrance effect with the caprolactam ring of N-vinylcaprolactam (NVC), which inhibits the hydrolysis of amide groups in a dual manner, while enhancing the rigidity and heat resistance of the polymer chain, enabling the plugging agent to adapt to higher temperature formation environments. Among the initiators, sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate (AIBA-PS) has better water solubility than traditional AIBA, its decomposition temperature is suitable for the reaction range of the system, and it can slowly release free radicals; lauroyl peroxide (LPO), as a long-chain oil-soluble initiator, is combined with AIBA-PS to form a "water-oil biphase precise initiation system", which solves the problems of uneven polymerization and wide molecular weight distribution of traditional initiators leading to weak gel strength. It helps to form a denser polymer network, significantly improves the mechanical properties of the gel, and increases the plugging rate and injection efficiency. In the dual crosslinking agent, polyethyleneimine (PEI) provides nitrogen atom crosslinking sites to form the main crosslinking network, while polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) reacts with the active groups on the polymer chain through epoxy groups to form a secondary crosslinking network. The dual crosslinking structure significantly improves gel strength and shear resistance, and avoids structural damage to the plugging agent during injection. In the stabilizer, sulfonated hydroxyethyl cellulose (S-HEC) can both entangle polymer molecular chains to inhibit thermal motion and resist salt ion erosion through electrostatic repulsion. It forms a triple stabilization mechanism of "electrostatic protection-structural entanglement-hydrolysis resistance" with the hydrogen bonding of polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30), which further extends the shelf life of the plugging agent in high temperature and high salt environment.

[0018] Advantages of this invention: (1) This invention innovatively synthesizes a composite initiation system. The synthesized sodium azobisisobutyramide propanesulfonate (AIBA-PS) is combined with lauroyl peroxide (LPO) to form a "water-oil biphase precise initiation system". AIBA-PS has better water solubility than traditional AIBA, and its decomposition temperature is precisely matched with the segmented heating mode, which slowly and stably releases free radicals. LPO has good dispersibility. The two work together to achieve uniform monomer polymerization, narrow molecular weight distribution, and dense and defect-free gel network. Compared with traditional initiators, the gelation time is shortened, the gel strength is improved, and the water separation rate is reduced, which solves the core pain points of "random polymerization, slow gelation, and weak strength". (2) The stabilizer described in this invention has a long chain structure of sulfonated hydroxyethyl cellulose that wraps around the polymer molecular chain to inhibit thermal motion, and sulfonate groups resist salt ion erosion through electrostatic repulsion; PVP K30 inhibits the hydrolysis of amide groups through hydrogen bonding. This mechanism enables the plugging agent to stabilize and gel under high temperature and high salt conditions, thus expanding the applicability of the plugging agent and meeting the needs of extreme formation environments. (3) The preparation process of this invention is simple, the cost is controllable, and it is highly practical. The resulting plugging agent has high sealing efficiency and can effectively block the bottom water flow channel. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Comparative Example 1: A conventional polyacrylamide wellbore plugging agent for oil fields, composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts deionized water, 27.5 parts polyacrylamide (PAM), 0.05 parts ammonium persulfate, 1.0 part phenolic crosslinking agent, and 0.05 parts thiourea. Preparation method: (1) Weigh PAM, add it to deionized water, stir at 300 rpm for 2 hours at room temperature until completely dissolved to obtain PAM mother liquor, and adjust the pH to 7.5 with 30% NaOH solution; (2) Add 0.05 parts of thiourea (oxygen scavenger) to the PAM mother liquor, stir for 15 min, then purge with nitrogen for 20 min to remove oxygen (flow rate 1.2 L / min), add ammonium persulfate, heat to 60℃ and react for 3 h to obtain the polymer intermediate system; (3) Cool down to room temperature, add phenolic crosslinking agent, stir at 400 rpm for 20 min, let stand and mature for 4 h to obtain the plugging agent; Performance testing: The gelation performance of the plugging agent under the conditions of 80℃ and 64000 mg / L mineralization is shown in Table 1.

[0026] Comparative Example 2: A conventional azo initiator, azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride (AIBA), was used instead of the initiator in Example 2, and everything else was the same as in Example 2; The performance of the obtained plugging agent in gelation under the conditions of 80℃ and 64000 mg / L mineralization is shown in Table 1. The resistance coefficient is dimensionless. Table 1 Performance tests of Comparative Examples 1-2 and Example 2 , As shown in Table 1, the gelation time of Example 2 was only 24 hours, which is 50% shorter than that of Comparative Example 1 (48 hours), and the gel strength reached Grade G, while the gel strength of Comparative Example 1 was only Grade D. The difference in gelation efficiency and strength is significant. In the 60-day aging test, the water separation rate of Example 2 was 0% under the conditions of 80℃ and 64000mg / L, and the gel morphology was intact without cracking. The water separation rate of Comparative Example 1 was as high as 15.7%, and it was prone to local collapse. For the 3.0×3.0mm wide fracture core, the plugging rate of Example 2 reached 94.4%, which is 15.9 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (78.5%). In the 1mD low-permeability core, the injection efficiency of Example 2 reached 1.4PV / h, which is 75% higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (0.8PV / h), and the resistance coefficient was only 45.2, which is much lower than that of Comparative Example 1 (230.5). There was no blockage during the injection process, which solved the contradiction of "easy blockage or insufficient gel strength" of the existing plugging agent, and greatly improved the efficiency of on-site construction. The gelation time of Comparative Example 2 was 36 hours, which was 50% longer than the 24 hours of Example 2. This was due to the poor water solubility of traditional AIBA and uneven dispersion, resulting in a slow polymerization rate. The water separation rate at 60 days was 12.3%, which was much higher than the 0% of Example 2. This was because the decomposition rate of traditional AIBA fluctuated greatly, the molecular weight distribution of the polymerized product was wide, and the gel structure was loose and prone to water separation. The gel strength was only grade E, which was lower than grade G of Example 2. This was due to insufficient density of the gel network caused by uneven polymerization. The core plugging rate was 82.7%, which was 11.7 percentage points lower than the 94.4% of Example 2. The loose gel could not effectively fill the fracture channels. The injection efficiency was 1.0 PV / h, which was lower than the 1.4 PV / h of Example 2, and the resistance coefficient was 156.8, which was higher than the 45.2 of Example 2. This was because some initiators that were not sufficiently dispersed caused local overpolymerization, which increased the injection resistance. Therefore, the plugging agent provided by this invention has faster gelation, better long-term stability, higher plugging efficiency, and better injectability, perfectly solving the technical problems of "poor dispersion, disordered polymerization, and weak performance" of traditional initiators in horizontal well plugging agent applications.
