Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil drilling technology, specifically to a plugging agent and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fractured formations exhibit large leakage channels and rapid leakage rates, making it difficult to form a structurally stable, dense, and pressure-bearing sealing layer within the fractures. This results in significant challenges for on-site drilling fluid plugging operations, often leading to substantial economic losses. With the increasing prominence of drilling fluid leakage problems in complex formations, highly efficient leakage prevention and plugging materials have become crucial for the rapid and efficient treatment of well leakage. Domestic and international experts have conducted extensive research on leak prevention and plugging materials. Existing plugging materials can be classified into bridging plugging materials, high-water-loss plugging materials, temporary plugging materials, chemical plugging materials, inorganic cementitious plugging materials, and soft (hard) plugging materials according to different mechanisms and functions. However, the above-mentioned traditional plugging materials do not have intelligent characteristics and cannot deform according to formation temperature. When dealing with well leakage in large-aperture fractured wells, the use of conventional large-particle-size, high-density plugging materials has poor suspension stability, which leads to settling in the mud tank or in the wellbore when dealing with long open-hole sections. On the other hand, it may cause drill string blockage. In addition, traditional bridging plugging materials are highly sensitive to fractures and cannot effectively seal fractures adaptively. They do not have the rigidity, high strength, and expansion "one agent, multiple functions" function.

[0003] With increasing understanding of new materials, more and more resin materials are being applied to wellbore plugging. Epoxy resin materials, by adding curing agents, can form a three-dimensional network structure, exhibiting excellent high-temperature resistance. In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have conducted extensive research on the challenge of crack plugging during drilling. Intelligent plugging products made primarily from shape memory resin materials can achieve automatic bridging and plugging, protecting the reservoir, with adjustable plugging time and start-up temperature. Thermoplastic resins possess phase change characteristics and shape memory functions, allowing them to better penetrate fractures. Some resins with deformation functions can adaptively and effectively plug fractures. For example, Tian Lufei et al. successfully prepared a cement-based intelligent plugging material. This plugging material mainly includes shape memory alloys (Ni-Ti), cement-based coatings, and fillers. After entering the formation, it is affected by temperature, causing the SMAs (shape memory resins) inside the material to deform, leading to cracking and detachment of the outer coating until it finally returns to a straight state. Multiple linear SMAs interconnect to form a bridging plug, and the internal sodium carbonate causes the plugging fluid to solidify rapidly, promoting the plugging process. People have gradually realized that using variable phase change resin to coat plugging particles for leak sealing will effectively improve the sealing effect, especially for crack-related leaks.

[0004] However, currently used shape memory resin materials suffer from poor thermal conductivity, weak temperature sensing ability, and delayed phase transitions in complex drilling fluid environments. This leads to problems such as inaccurate sealing of lost circulation zones and inability to match safe drilling and completion windows. Furthermore, most resin materials also exhibit low compressive strength and are easily worn away by solid phases in the drilling fluid. These issues require further resolution.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-performance sealing agent in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention proposes a plugging agent and its preparation method. The invention provides a plugging agent comprising a modified resin and a composite film encapsulating the modified resin. After being run into the wellbore, the plugging agent reaches its glass transition temperature, undergoing a phase change from a solid to a viscous liquid. It then coats the wellbore wall, forming a plugging layer. Simultaneously, the resin has a retention effect on large pores, preventing the plugging material from being diluted or washed away, thus losing its plugging ability.

The modified resin coated with composite membrane material is cured, dried, and pulverized to obtain the sealing agent.

[0023] The repetition of 30 to 200 times in this invention refers to repeating one complete immersion process of step (2) 30 to 200 times.

The amount of barite added is considered to achieve a drilling fluid density of 1.5 g / cm³. 3 Actual usage at the time.

[0099] Experimental Example 1 - Thermal Conductivity Test:

[0100] The plugging agent sample was bent at 160℃ to prepare a "U"-shaped specimen and then cooled to complete the secondary shaping. Then, 40g of plugging agent was placed in 500mL of drilling fluid and heated in an oil bath.

A comparison between Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 3 shows that the preheating and curing process of the modified resin coated with the composite membrane material during the preparation of the plugging agent also helps to improve the mass retention rate of the plugging agent.

[0110] Experiment Example 3 - Wear Resistance Test:

[0111] Fold 50g of sealing agent into a container with a density of 1.5g / cm³. 3The test sample was placed in 500 mL of drilling fluid and rolled and heated using a high-temperature roller heating furnace (purchased from Qingdao Haitong Yuanda Instrument Co., Ltd., model XGRL-4) to conduct wear resistance evaluation experiments; the rolling heating temperature was 120℃ and the rolling heating time was 72 h.

[0112]
