Description

A pH-responsive flow pattern regulator suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids, its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pH-responsive flow pattern regulator suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids, its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical field of drilling fluid treatment agents. Background Technology

[0002] As oil and gas exploration and development continues to advance into deeper, ultra-deep, and unconventional formations, the complex geological environments encountered during drilling are becoming increasingly severe, with CO2 intrusion leading to drilling fluid contamination being a particularly prominent issue. In deep, ultra-deep wells and CO2-bearing reservoirs, CO2 in the formation continuously dissolves in water-based drilling fluids, triggering a series of chain reactions. On one hand, CO2 reacts with water in the drilling fluid to form carbonic acid, causing a decrease in the system's pH value, disrupting clay dispersibility, and leading to particle aggregation. On the other hand, the carbonate and bicarbonate ions produced by the dissociation of carbonic acid react with metal ions in the drilling fluid, further exacerbating the deterioration of rheological properties. Ultimately, this manifests as increased drilling fluid viscosity and shear stress, which in severe cases can cause downhole accidents such as stuck pipe and well kicks.

[0003] The rheological properties of drilling fluid are a core indicator for ensuring safe and efficient drilling, and their stability directly affects wellbore cleanliness, wellbore stability, and drilling fluid circulation efficiency. When CO2 pollution occurs, traditional drilling fluid treatment agents can reduce viscosity to some extent, but they lack the ability to respond to changes in pH value and are often unable to cope with this dynamically changing acidic environment.

[0004] Currently, although some scholars have proposed pH-responsive treatment agents, such as the Chinese patent document CN114075303A which discloses a drilling fluid for formation environment [H] + This invention relates to a responsive wellbore stabilizing agent, its preparation method, and its application. The agent is made from acrylic copolymers, polyesters, organic bases, iron salts, dispersants, and small-molecule organic acids. It achieves a plugging rate exceeding 95% under different temperature conditions, demonstrating excellent plugging ability. Chinese patent document CN113416527A discloses the synthesis of a temperature- and pH-responsive nanogel. This invention has a particle size distribution approximately between 40-120 nm, effectively plugging nanoscale pores in shale wellbores, thereby effectively stabilizing the wellbore and preventing collapse. However, research on rheological control technology for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids is currently relatively scarce.

[0005] Therefore, developing a pH-responsive flow modulator that can adaptively adjust its performance according to the degree of CO2 pollution (i.e., changes in the pH value of the system) has become a key requirement for solving the CO2 pollution problem in deep drilling. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, particularly the inability of existing drilling fluid treatment agents to cope with dynamic pH changes caused by CO2 pollution and to synergistically regulate rheological properties, this invention provides a pH-responsive flow modifier suitable for CO2-polluted drilling fluids, along with its preparation method and application. The pH-responsive flow modifier of this invention can sense changes in the pH value of the drilling fluid system caused by CO2 pollution through pH-sensitive groups in its molecular structure, adaptively adjusting the interaction strength with clay particles. Specifically, when acidity increases, it enhances adsorption capacity through protonation of the groups, effectively dispersing aggregated clay particles and reducing drilling fluid viscosity and shear force. During the pH recovery phase, it maintains system stability through charge density regulation while simultaneously improving the mud cake structure to reduce filtration loss.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A pH-responsive flow pattern modifier suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-10 parts acrylic acid (AA), 10-20 parts pH-responsive monomer, 10-30 parts 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), 5-20 parts N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 0.1-1 parts initiator, and 100-200 parts water.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pH-responsive flow pattern modifier suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluid is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 6-8 parts acrylic acid (AA), 15-20 parts pH-responsive monomer, 15-30 parts 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), 10-15 parts N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 0.2-0.6 parts initiator, and 100-150 parts water.

[0010] Preferably, the pH-responsive flow pattern modifier suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluid is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 7.2 parts acrylic acid (AA), 18.5 parts pH-responsive monomer, 20.7 parts 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), 11.14 parts N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 0.5 parts initiator, and 120 parts water.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pH-responsive monomer is ethyl 2-(diethylamino)methacrylate (DMAEMA) and / or ethyl 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)acrylate (DMAE).

[0012] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the initiator is azobisisobutylamidine hydrochloride (AIBA).

[0013] The preparation method of the above-mentioned pH-responsive flow pattern regulator suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids includes the following steps:

[0014] Acrylic acid (AA), pH-responsive monomers, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) were dispersed in deionized water to obtain a monomer mixture. The pH of the monomer mixture was adjusted to 7-9, an initiator was added, and the reaction was carried out to obtain a pH-responsive flow pattern regulator suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with a mass fraction of 20-30% is used to adjust the pH to 7-9.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the initiator is added to the system in the form of an aqueous initiator solution, wherein the mass ratio of the initiator to deionized water in the aqueous initiator solution is 0.1-1:15.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, before adding the initiator, a protective gas is first introduced into the system to remove oxygen for 20-40 minutes, wherein the protective gas is nitrogen or argon.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reaction temperature is 65-75°C, the reaction time is 3-5 hours, and the reaction is carried out under the protection of a protective gas and under stirring conditions, wherein the protective gas is nitrogen or argon.

[0019] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned pH-responsive flow pattern regulator suitable for CO2-contaminated drilling fluids is applied as a flow pattern regulator to CO2-contaminated drilling fluids to reduce drilling fluid viscosity, shear stress and filtration loss.

[0020] The technical features and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. The preparation process of this invention is simple. The raw materials used, such as acrylic acid, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and N-vinylpyrrolidone, are common varieties in the chemical industry, which are inexpensive and easy to obtain. The parameters such as temperature and time in the synthesis process are easy to control, and no complicated equipment is required. The resulting pH-responsive rheology modifier is safe and environmentally friendly, has no irritating odor, and has a low production cost, making it suitable for industrial production.

[0022] 2. The pH-responsive rheology modifier of this invention addresses the core problem of CO2-contaminated drilling fluids and has excellent rheological regulation capabilities. Its outstanding feature is its strong responsiveness to changes in pH value. When CO2 intrusion leads to increased acidity in the drilling fluid, the pH-sensitive groups in the pH-responsive monomer molecular structure will be protonated, enhancing the interaction with clay particles and effectively reducing the apparent viscosity (AV) and plastic viscosity (PV) of the drilling fluid. At the same time, it can improve the quality of the mud cake, reduce filtration loss, and significantly improve drilling efficiency under CO2 contamination conditions.

[0023] 3. The introduction of pH-responsive monomers in this invention is the key to achieving pH-responsive function: the tertiary amino group in its molecule can be protonated to form a cationic group in an acidic environment, which enhances the electrostatic adsorption with negatively charged clay particles and promotes particle dispersion; while when the pH value rises, the tertiary amino group is deprotonated, which can reduce the viscosity rebound caused by excessive adsorption and achieve dynamic control of drilling fluid rheology.

[0024] 4. The addition of N-vinylpyrrolidone in this invention can improve the stability of the drilling fluid system. The pyrrolidone ring it contains has strong polarity and hydrogen bonding, which can enhance the combination of molecular chains and water molecules, increase the hydration degree of clay particles, and inhibit shale hydration dispersion, thus helping to maintain wellbore stability.

[0025] 5. The rheology modifier of the present invention contains a variety of functional groups such as carboxyl groups and sulfonic acid groups in its molecular chain. It can regulate the degree of stretching of the viscosity reducer molecular chain through appropriate electrostatic repulsion, avoid excessive entanglement of the molecular chain, and at the same time help regulate the charge distribution on the surface of clay particles, further inhibiting agglomeration.

[0026] 6. The rheology modifier of the present invention can react with CO2 and HCO3 produced by CO2 dissolving in water. - CO3 2- Ions form competitive adsorption, which reduces the damage to clay dispersion caused by CO2 and acid radical ions by occupying active sites on the surface of clay particles, ensuring that the drilling fluid can maintain stable rheological properties even in polluted environments; at the same time, the polar groups in the molecular chain have good thermal stability, and can maintain pH response performance and regulation effect under high temperature drilling conditions.

[0027] 7. The raw material composition and preparation method of the present invention work together to form a synergistic effect: the ratio of each monomer and the control of reaction conditions directly affect the distribution of pH-sensitive groups and functional groups in the molecular chain, thereby determining the response sensitivity and regulation efficiency of the regulator; any substitution of raw materials or unsuitable process parameters will lead to a decrease in pH response performance or a weakening of rheological regulation effect, making it impossible to achieve efficient treatment of CO2-contaminated drilling fluid.
