Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas extraction technology, and specifically relates to a green microcapsule oil displacement agent based on gelatin / sodium alginate, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the most important energy sources in modern society, the efficiency of petroleum extraction directly impacts energy supply and economic development. With the gradual depletion of easily recoverable oil and gas resources, oilfields are generally entering a high water-cut development stage, leading to increasingly prominent problems such as enhanced reservoir heterogeneity, dispersed residual oil, and declining recovery rates. Against this backdrop, chemical flooding has become an important technical means to improve oil recovery. Among these, surfactant flooding can significantly reduce oil-water interfacial tension and improve wettability, thereby utilizing difficult-to-recover residual oil, and has promising application prospects.

[0003] However, traditional surfactant flooding has many shortcomings: surfactants are easily adsorbed by rocks or prematurely extracted with water during injection, resulting in insufficient effective concentrations in deep reservoirs and unsatisfactory oil displacement effects. Especially in complex reservoir environments with high temperature, high salinity, and strong heterogeneity, the stability and oil displacement performance of surfactants decrease significantly, limiting oil displacement efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, microencapsulation technology has been introduced into oil displacement systems. By encapsulating surfactants within polymeric wall materials, delayed release and targeted action of the surfactants in the target area can be achieved, thereby improving their utilization and extending the duration of action. In existing microencapsulation systems, the wall material and core material often have different hydrophilic / hydrophobic balances: typically, the wall material is more hydrophilic, while the core material (surfactant or oil-phase active substance) is relatively hydrophobic. Although such designs can form a certain core-shell structure, they are prone to the following problems in oil displacement applications: (1) The large difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties leads to instability of the capsule interface in the aqueous system, which can easily cause premature rupture or leakage of the core material. (2) In high mineralization and high temperature environments, the interfacial compatibility between the wall material and the core material is poor, resulting in low encapsulation rate and uneven release process; (3) During the migration process in the reservoir pores, the capsule is prone to lose its integrity due to phase separation or interface mismatch, which reduces the deep oil displacement effect.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a green microcapsule system with matching hydrophilicity of wall material and core material, and improve its stability and controllable release performance under reservoir conditions, is a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a hydrophilic-hydrophilic matched green microcapsule system using a compound of gelatin (GEL) and sodium alginate (SA) as the wall material and a surfactant of similar hydrophilicity as the core material. This overcomes the poor stability of traditional hydrophilic-hydrophobic structures in aqueous environments. By controlling the pH to induce the self-assembly of the wall and core materials, and combining this with organic cross-linking with tea polyphenols to achieve shell solidification, the microcapsules can maintain a relatively long stable migration time under formation conditions and gradually rupture under temperature and environmental influences, releasing high concentrations of surfactant in a directed manner. The resulting microcapsules possess excellent dispersibility, stability, and controllable release performance, effectively reducing oil-water interfacial tension and improving oil recovery.

[0020] The green microcapsule oil displacement agent of the present invention exhibits the following controllable release behavior during the oil displacement process: Stable migration: In the initial stage of injection, the microcapsule shell remains intact, and the particles are uniformly dispersed in the formation pores, avoiding premature loss of surfactants. Response rupture: When the microcapsules reach the deep oil layer, under the action of a certain temperature for a long time, the shell gradually ruptures, releasing the internal surfactant solution; Oil displacement and enhancement: The released surfactants can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, improve wettability, and increase the utilization rate of residual oil; at the same time, the ruptured shell natural polymers can enhance the viscosity of the aqueous phase and block high-permeability channels, thereby achieving profile control and water shut-off effects.

Calculate the encapsulation efficiency of the microcapsules using the following formula: ; Calculations showed that the encapsulation efficiencies of microcapsules S1-S4 in Examples 1-4 were 50.4%, 85.3%, 44.3%, and 28.3%, respectively. (See attached figures.) Figure 1 .

[0039] II. Morphological Inspection 1. Optical microscopic morphology of the solidified liquid reaction products in step (2) of Examples 2, 5, and 6 is as follows: Figure 2 .Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that microcapsules are generated in all cases. Microcapsules S2 have a uniform spherical structure and high size consistency. In Example 5, when the pH in step (2) is adjusted to 3.9, the number of spherical microcapsules is greatly reduced, and there is collapse and the microcapsules stick together. In Example 6, when the pH in step (2) is adjusted to 10.0, some microcapsules swell, the size consistency is not high, and the number of microcapsules is relatively small. High pH solidification may lead to microcapsule degradation. 2. Optical microscopic morphology analysis of the solidified liquid reaction products in step (2) of Examples 2, 7, 8, and 9 is as follows: Figure 3 .Depend on Figure 3 The results show that microcapsules were formed in all samples, but the microcapsules of S7 and S8 were not uniform in size and were not fully solidified; while the number of microcapsules in S10 was reduced, and prolonged solidification would lead to microcapsule degradation. Microcapsules S2 had a uniform spherical structure and high size consistency, and a large number of microcapsules. 3. Observe the products of step (2) in Examples 2 and 10-12. See the optical photographs below. Figure 4 It can be seen that when the mass of tea polyphenols in Example 2 is 10% of gelatin, the product is uniformly distributed and there is no sedimentation, indicating that the curing is complete; while when the mass of tea polyphenols in Examples 10-12 is 5%, 3.3%, and 2.5% of gelatin, respectively, the liquid product shows obvious sedimentation and adhesion to the wall, indicating that the microcapsule solution is not completely cured.

[0040] IV. Simulated Release Experiment The microcapsules prepared in Example 2 were used to conduct a simulated release experiment. Specifically, the solidified liquid product from step (2) was heated in a water bath at different temperatures (30, 40, 50, and 60°C) for different durations. Samples were taken, and the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The absorbance intensity of the supernatant was recorded by scanning at 265 nm using a UV-Vis absorption spectrometer.

Specifically, crude oil was diluted with kerosene at a mass ratio of 5:4, resulting in simulated crude oil with a viscosity of approximately 16 mPa·s. The microcapsule oil displacement agent S2 was diluted to different concentrations according to volume fractions and placed at 60°C for 100 h to allow the core material surfactant to be fully released. The interfacial tension between the oil displacement agent and the simulated crude oil was measured using a rotating drop interfacial tensiometer at 40°C. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 6 Wherein S / A is the hydrophilic surfactant mixture solution. Results show that after complete release, the interfacial tension between the green microcapsule oil displacement agent of this invention and the model oil is within 10. −3 ~10 −2 It has a capacity in the mN / m range and a significant oil-washing ability.

[0042] VI. Simulated Oil Displacement Experiment The microcapsule oil displacement agent S2 prepared in Example 2 was used to conduct simulated oil displacement experiments on a micro-glass etching model. S2 was diluted to 60 vol% of the original solution by volume, as the apparent viscosity at this point was closest to 16 mPa·s, which is close to the viscosity of the prepared simulated crude oil, and the two have good comparability in terms of flow resistance. Specifically, a microchannel model prepared by etching glass was used to simulate the capillary structure of the oil reservoir. After connecting the inlet and outlet pipes of the glass etching model, it was fixed on a 40°C hot stage to simulate the reservoir conditions. First, a high injection rate (2 µL·min) was used... -1 Pump oil phase into the model to ensure the channels are saturated with oil. After saturation, pump at a rate of 2 µL / min. -1 Aqueous phase is injected into the channel at a rate of ( Figure 7 ) or microcapsule oil displacement agent system ( Figure 8 , Figure 9 Displacement was carried out, and the displacement process was recorded using a high-resolution optical microscope; The results showed that after 96 hours, the microcapsule-assisted oil displacement method had less residual oil compared to water-assisted oil displacement, and oil droplets generated by the interaction between the microcapsules and the oil could be clearly observed.
