AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing CO2 foam flooding technology, the low viscosity of CO2 leads to an excessively high flow ratio, which easily causes viscous fingering and gas channeling during the gas flooding process. At the same time, the injected CO2 causes severe corrosion to the tubing, and the poor compatibility between corrosion inhibitors and flow control agents results in the corrosion problem not being effectively solved.

Method used

A polyether polyamine compound containing a triazine ring is used as a corrosion inhibitor and flow control agent. It forms a protective film on the metal surface to prevent corrosion and interacts with CO2 to form a Lewis acid-base relationship, thereby improving foam performance and salt resistance and enhancing gas flow control.

Benefits of technology

In high-temperature, high-salinity gas drive reservoirs, corrosion inhibitors effectively control gas flow and significantly improve the plugging ability of foam, preventing tubing corrosion and maintaining good corrosion inhibition.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon dioxide foam flooding technology, and more specifically, to a corrosion inhibitor flow control agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] CO2 flooding is one of the most effective methods for enhancing oil recovery in complex reservoirs. However, because the viscosity of injected CO2 is much lower than that of underground crude oil, the mobility ratio becomes too high, easily leading to viscous fingering and gas channeling during the gas flooding process, thus reducing oil production. Given the intelligent control characteristics of foam—"blocking large volumes but not small ones" and "blocking water but not oil"—the technology of using foam to control CO2 mobility has attracted widespread attention. However, CO2 dissolved in water causes severe corrosion to the injection and production tubing. Corrosion inhibitors are usually added to delay corrosion, but these inhibitors have complex compositions and poor compatibility with most mobility control agents, easily leading to flocculation and precipitation, causing both the mobility control agent and the corrosion inhibitor to fail, thus affecting the application prospects of CO2 foam flooding.

[0003] Extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on CO2 foaming agents. For example, patent CN 108570318A discloses a CO2 foaming liquid composition for oilfield use and its preparation method. The foaming liquid composition contains 0.05–1% fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, 0.01–0.5% α-olefin sulfonate, 0.005–0.3% alkyl glycoside, 0.004–0.1% coconut oil diethanolamide, and 0.001–0.05% hydrophobically modified nano-silica particles. CN101619210A discloses a carbon dioxide foam stabilizer suitable for low-permeability reservoirs, composed of modified guar gum, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and dodecyl alcohol. However, none of these studies considered corrosion issues.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a CO2 foam flooding method that can control its flow rate while solving the corrosion problem, as well as the problems of gas channeling and severe tubing corrosion in gas-driven systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a corrosion-inhibiting flow control agent, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] The corrosion-inhibiting flow control agent in this invention uses a polyether polyamine compound containing a triazine ring. The triazine ring has a high electron cloud density and contains N and O heteroatoms to increase active sites. Under acidic conditions, it carries a positive charge and adsorbs negatively charged iron, forming a protective film on the metal surface to prevent corrosion. Simultaneously, it contains multiple N atoms, which form Lewis acid-base interactions with CO2, increasing the adsorption amount at the CO2 / water interface and improving foaming performance. It also contains multiple polyether fragments to enhance salt resistance and does not contain functional groups such as amide bonds that are easily decomposed at high temperatures, giving it excellent gas flow control and corrosion inhibition properties in high-temperature, high-salinity oil reservoir gas drive applications.

[0007] The corrosion inhibitor flow rate control agent of the present invention can effectively control the gas flow rate during gas drive and has a good corrosion inhibition effect on the tubing.

[0141]

[0142] As shown in Table 1, the slow-release flow control agents prepared in Examples 1 to 3 have good corrosion inhibition properties, with a corrosion inhibition rate of 80.1-86.3% at 80°C and 72.6-80.0% at 200°C when the mineralization is 200,000 mg / L.

[0143] Table 2 shows that sodium α-olefin sulfonate, at a mineralization of 200,000 mg / L, exhibited a corrosion inhibition rate of 11.6% at 80°C and 8.8% at 200°C, indicating virtually no corrosion inhibition effect. Corrosion inhibitor XSH-4, at a mineralization of 200,000 mg / L, showed a corrosion inhibition rate of 85.1% at 80°C and 54.2% at 200°C. Its corrosion inhibition effect at 80°C was comparable to that of the corrosion-inhibiting flow control agent. However, when the temperature rose to 200°C, due to the presence of amide bonds in XSH-4, it decomposed at high temperature, resulting in a poorer corrosion inhibition effect. Compared with the comparative examples, the slow-release flow control agents prepared in Examples 1-3 showed better corrosion inhibition properties.

[0144] The 30% slow-release flow control agent solutions obtained in Examples 1-3 were further prepared into 0.1wt%, 0.5wt%, and 1wt% aqueous solutions, respectively, and co-injected with carbon dioxide to control gas flow. The permeability of the sand-filled pipe was 2103 mD. First, brine was used to drive the flow control agent solution to a constant pressure. Then, brine was used to prepare the required concentration of flow control agent solution and co-injected with CO2 at a gas-liquid ratio of 2:1 until the pressure remained constant. The resistance factor was calculated, and the specific test data are shown in Table 2.

[0146]

[0147] As shown in Table 3, when the concentration of Examples 1 to 3 is 0.1 to 1 wt%, the mineralization is 0 to 200,000 mg / L, and the temperature is 80 to 200°C, the resistance factor is 102 to 625. Among them, when the concentration of Example 1 is 1 wt%, the resistance factor reaches 625, which shows good gas flow control.

[0148] Table 4 shows the drag factors for comparative examples.

[0149]

[0150] Table 4 shows that corrosion inhibitor XSH-4, at concentrations of 0.1–1 wt%, mineralization of 0–200,000 mg / L, and temperatures of 80–200°C, has a resistance factor of 2–3, exhibiting virtually no foaming properties and failing to form a good plugging effect. Sodium α-olefin sulfonate, at concentrations of 0.1–1 wt%, mineralization of 0–200,000 mg / L, and temperatures of 80–200°C, has a resistance factor of 24–596, demonstrating good plugging ability. At 80–100°C, its resistance factor is comparable to that of the corrosion flow control agent. However, sodium α-olefin sulfonate has poor salt tolerance and easily precipitates and decomposes at 200°C and 200,000 mg / L, resulting in a decrease in the resistance factor. Compared to the comparative examples, the slow-release flow control agents prepared in Examples 1–3 exhibit better gas flow control performance.

[0151] The corrosion-inhibiting flow control agents prepared in Examples 1-3 have good sealing ability and can effectively prevent oil pipe corrosion at 80-200℃. They also have good gas flow control and corrosion inhibition properties in gas drive of high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs.
