Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum additives technology, and in particular to a plugging polymer, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Shale is a sedimentary rock formed by the cementation of clay minerals under certain temperature and pressure. It is relatively brittle and hard, and is prone to hydration and expansion when immersed in water. During oil and gas extraction, water enters the nano- and micro-sized pores. The hydration and expansion of clay minerals in shale can easily cause wellbore instability phenomena such as wellbore collapse, diameter reduction, and wellbore enlargement. At the same time, water entering shale fractures and nano- and micro-sized pores can easily cause well leakage.

[0003] To address well leakage issues, current methods involve using plugging agents to seal the leaking layers. Conventional bridging plugging, the most widely used method in the field, has a complex formulation, making it difficult to match particle size with the formation. It also suffers from a low success rate on the first attempt, poor temperature resistance (<120℃), short effective period, and a high risk of re-leakage. Expandable resins, after expansion, exhibit some elasticity and plasticity, improving their ability to seal fractures to some extent; however, their expansion rate and strength after water absorption are difficult to control. High-water-loss plugging formulations are unsuitable for mudstone well sections where the wellbore is prone to instability. Furthermore, in large fracture leakage channels, the poor retention capacity of the plugging material prevents water loss and the formation of a plugging sluice. Cement plugging, due to its high density and poor retention capacity, carries high construction risks and is prone to being used as a filler or flagpole. Its high strength after solidification makes it highly susceptible to creating new holes in loose sandstone formations.

[0004] With the continuous improvement of drilling technology, leakage plugging technology has also made significant progress, and the variety of leakage plugging materials has been increasing. Gel materials, due to their excellent deformability, can be shaped to suit the size of leakage channels. They absorb water and swell, swelling but not dissolving, thus filling and blocking the leakage. They play a crucial role in leakage plugging materials. For example, CN118165712A discloses a three-dimensional network gel plugging agent, belonging to the field of drilling fluid leakage prevention and plugging technology. It comprises the following raw materials by mass percentage: 5%-10% monomer composition, 1%-3% POSS-based crosslinking component, 1%-5% bentonite component, 0.02%-0.2% initiator, 0.2%-0.5% surfactant, and the balance being deionized water. The monomer composition undergoes polymerization under the action of the initiator and POSS-based crosslinking component to form a viscoelastic organic gel. At high temperatures, the isocyanate groups in the POSS-based crosslinking component unblock and release active isocyanate groups, which react with amino and hydroxyl groups in the organic gel to form a three-dimensional network. The bentonite hybrid component is then stably filled within this network, ultimately forming an organic-inorganic composite hybrid gel. However, gel plugging materials are expensive and difficult to penetrate the leaking layer under conditions where well shut-in pressure is not maintained. Furthermore, their strength alone is insufficient to meet the requirements for plugging severe leakage.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a sealing material with excellent retention capacity and good sealing effect in formation fractures has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of poor size matching between existing gel-based bridging and plugging materials and formation fractures, as well as poor inter-particle bonding leading to easy dispersion by formation fluids, this invention provides a plugging polymer, its preparation method, and its application. The plugging polymer is a pressure-responsive smart polymer material that can dissolve in water-based drilling fluids, allowing it to smoothly enter leakage channels. Under pressure stimulation, the material particles undergo self-healing and consolidation, thereby improving the material's retention capacity in formation fractures and achieving excellent plugging results.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a plugging polymer having a structure as shown in Formula I:

[0009]

[0010] Among them, R1, R2, R 1 and R 2 Each is independently selected from H, C1-C6 (e.g., C2, C3, C4, C5) straight-chain or branched alkyl groups;

[0011] The A in each structural unit is independently selected from Na. + K + Ca 2+ or NH4 + ;

[0012] z represents a group The quantity is selected from natural numbers between 0 and 3, for example, it can be 0, 1, 2 or 3;

[0014] x, y, s, and t are each independent natural numbers, and x and y are not both 0, and s and t are not both 0.

[0015] The plugging polymer provided by this invention contains imine bonds in its molecular chain, which are dynamic covalent bonds. In aqueous environments, imines undergo reversible condensation and hydrolysis reactions. When gel particles containing this polymer accumulate in formation fractures, they come into contact with each other under pressure, and the imine bonds in the gel particle molecules are recreated, causing adjacent gel particles to heal. This macroscopically manifests as consolidation, thereby preventing the gel particles from being dispersed by formation fluids and improving the retention capacity of the plugging gel in formation fractures, thus contributing to a higher plugging success rate. Furthermore, this invention uses natural polysaccharide carrageenan as the matrix structure, which can be extracted from red algae such as *Euphorbia tirucalli*, *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, and *Gnaphalium affine*. It is widely available and inexpensive, and the resulting plugging polymer and gel meet the modern technological requirements of green development.

[0016] In this invention, the A values ​​in each structural unit may be the same or different; when A is Ca 2+ Then, the two sulfonic acid groups in Formula I share a total of one Ca. 2+ .

[0017] In this invention, C1-C6, etc., all refer to the number of carbon atoms contained in the group.

[0018] In this invention, the term "alkyl" refers to a group formed by losing any one hydrogen atom from an alkane molecule.

[0179] Example 8

[0180] A plugging polymer, the only difference between the plugging polymer and Example 1 is that the κ-carrageenan (Mn = 400000 g / mol) used to prepare the amino carrageenan derivative and the aldehyde carrageenan derivative is replaced with an equal mass of κ-carrageenan (Mn = 160000 g / mol), while the other materials, amounts and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1. The resulting plugging polymer is denoted as S8.

[0181] Example 9

[0182] A leak-stopping polymer, the only difference between the leak-stopping polymer and Example 1 is that the water bath heating temperature during the preparation of the amino carrageenan derivative is replaced with 85°C instead of 65°C. All other materials, amounts and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1. The resulting leak-stopping polymer is denoted as S9.

[0183] Example 10

[0184] A leak-stopping polymer, the only difference between the leak-stopping polymer and Example 1 is that the freezing time during the synthesis of the leak-stopping polymer is replaced by 1 hour instead of 4 hours. All other materials, amounts and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1. The resulting leak-stopping polymer is denoted as S10.

[0185] Comparative Example 1

[0186] A leak-stopping polymer, the only difference between the leak-stopping polymer and Example 1 is that the amino carrageenan derivative C1 in the preparation step of the leak-stopping polymer is replaced with chitosan (degree of deacetylation ≥80%), and the other materials, amounts and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1. The resulting leak-stopping polymer is denoted as D1.

[0187] Comparative Example 2

[0188] A leak-sealing polymer, differing from Example 1 only in that the aldehyde-based carrageenan derivative K1 in the preparation step is replaced with dialdehyde starch (aldehyde degree ≥80%), while all other materials, amounts, and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1. The resulting leak-sealing polymer is designated D2. The above-mentioned leak-sealing polymer was subjected to the following tests:

[0189] (1) Leakage sealing performance

[0190] The prepared plugging polymers S1-S10, D1, and D2 were added to 4.0% bentonite slurry to prepare a 6.0% plugging slurry. This slurry was poured into a DLM-01 high-temperature, high-pressure plugging evaluation device. Wedge-shaped crack molds with widths of 1.0mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm were selected, and the test temperature was set to 100℃. Pressure was applied uniformly at a frequency of 0.2MPa / min. When positive displacement with the plugging slurry was used, the pressure at which liquid dripped from the rear end of the artificial core crack was the positive breakthrough pressure (P). 正 The test results are shown in Table 3. When deionized water is used for reverse displacement, the pressure at the front end of the wedge-shaped crack mold when liquid drips is the reverse breakthrough pressure (P). 反 The test results (MPa) are shown in Table 4.

[0191] Table 3

[0192]

[0193] Table 4

[0194]

[0195]

[0196] As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4, under the action of pressure difference, the sealing slurry obtained in Examples 1-7 can form a gel plug in the crack, thereby effectively sealing the crack. In contrast, when the carrageenan used in Examples 8-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 has a smaller molecular weight, a higher synthesis temperature of the amino carrageenan derivative, a shorter freezing time of the sealing polymer, or does not use carrageenan as a raw material, the sealing effect is poor.

[0197] (2) Consolidation properties under pressure stimulation

[0198] The prepared plugging polymers S1-S10, D1, and D2 were added to 4.0% bentonite slurry to prepare a 5.0% plugging slurry. This slurry was poured into a DLM-01 high-temperature, high-pressure plugging evaluation device. A wedge-shaped crack mold with a crack width of 2.0 mm was selected. The test temperature was set to 100℃, and pressure was applied uniformly at a frequency of 0.2 MPa / min until it reached 8.0 MPa. After standing for 1 hour, pressure was applied uniformly again at a frequency of 0.2 MPa / min, and the pressure (P) was measured. 正 .

[0199] Repeat the above steps, except that the settling time is set to 2h, 3h, and 4h respectively, and P is measured after different settling times. 正 The measurement results are shown in Table 5.

[0200] Table 5

[0201]

[0202]

[0203] As can be seen from Table 5, with the extension of the standing time, the crack P formed by the plugging polymer prepared by the present invention in the formation of gel decreases. 正 The gradual increase indicates that the gel trapped in the crack underwent self-healing after being squeezed together, i.e., a consolidation process occurred. This increased the pressure at which the gel septum in the crack migrated, which played a positive role in improving the success rate of plugging and preventing re-leakage.

[0204] When the carrageenan used in Examples 8-10 has a small molecular weight, the synthesis temperature of the amino carrageenan derivative is high, and the freezing time of the plugging polymer is short, the positive breakthrough pressure of the resulting plugging slurry is small, and the consolidation effect deteriorates.

[0205] When the amino carrageenan derivative was replaced with chitosan or the aldehyde carrageenan derivative was replaced with dialdehyde starch in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, no obvious solidification phenomenon was observed.

[0206] In summary, the carrageenan-based plugging polymer provided by this invention can adapt to various fracture sizes. Through reversible imine condensation and hydrolysis, the material particles undergo self-healing and consolidation, thereby improving the material's retention capacity in formation fractures. The fracture breakthrough pressure is significantly increased, achieving a good plugging effect. At the same time, it can prevent re-leakage and solve the problems of poor matching between existing gel-based bridging plugging materials and formation fracture sizes, poor bonding ability between material particles, and easy dispersion by formation fluids.
