Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil displacement agent technology, specifically relating to a binary composite system oil displacement agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, the demand for energy from all sectors of society is increasing. Although the country has increased its investment in new energy sources such as nuclear power and solar energy, oil, as a traditional energy source, still occupies an extremely important position. At present, my country's major large and medium-sized oil fields are in the middle and late stages of exploitation, with some oil fields suffering from severe aging, an overall water cut exceeding 85%, declining recovery rates, and a general trend of decreasing oil field production capacity.

[0003] Chemical flooding is an oil recovery method that involves adding chemical agents to the injected water to enhance oil recovery. These added chemical agents are often referred to as oil displacement agents. Oil displacement agents increase the viscosity of the injected water, reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, and alter the permeability of parts of the oil layer, thereby either increasing the sweep efficiency or improving the oil washing efficiency, ultimately achieving the goal of increasing oil recovery. Depending on the type of chemical agent used for oil displacement, chemical flooding is classified into: alkaline flooding, surfactant flooding, polymer flooding, and later, polymer / surfactant / alkaline ternary composite flooding and alkali-free polymer / surfactant binary composite flooding, developed to address the shortcomings and drawbacks of low efficiency and high cost associated with single chemical agents. Among these, alkali-free polymer / surfactant binary composite flooding is more widely used because it avoids the low efficiency problem of single chemical agents and eliminates the problems of oil layer scaling and polymer viscosity reduction caused by the addition of alkali. For example, patent CN108314998B discloses a hydrophobic associating polymer-surfactant binary combination. The oil recovery system and its composite flooding system utilize a binary composite flooding composition of hydrophobic associating polymer and surfactant, comprising the following components: 1) a hydrophobic associating polymer containing acrylamide units and hydrophobic monomer units; 2) a composite surfactant comprising a mass ratio of fatty amide betaine: alkyl betaine: aromatic acid salt = (1-60):(1-60):(20-60); wherein the mass ratio of the hydrophobic associating polymer to the composite surfactant is (0.5-3):(0.1-5). This binary composite flooding composition can achieve low interfacial tension, but the oil displacement agent has low emulsification ability, poor oil carrying capacity, and limited recovery improvement. CN102876313B discloses a hydrophobic associating polymer-composite surfactant binary composite flooding system and method, the main components and contents (wt%) of which are: hydrophobic associating polymer: 0.08-0.3, composite surfactant: 0.05-0.5, water: 99.2-99.87. The composition and content (wt%) of the composite surfactant are: fatty acid diester disulfonate 50-70, oleic acid diethanolamide 30-50. This binary composite flooding system is alkali-free and environmentally friendly, and has the advantages of high interfacial activity and significant synergistic effect. However, Ca...2+ Mg 2+ Carrying two positive charges, it can simultaneously form ionic bonds with the two sulfonate groups in the molecular structure of fatty acid diester disulfonate, generating water-insoluble calcium / magnesium fatty acid diester disulfonate precipitates. This disrupts the molecular structure and micellar state of the surfactant, causing it to lose its interfacial activity, which in turn leads to a significant increase in oil-water interfacial tension, limiting its application in high-calcium and magnesium oil reservoirs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an alkali-free binary composite oil displacement agent that combines excellent interfacial activity and strong emulsifying ability with good tolerance to calcium and magnesium ions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a binary composite system oil displacement agent, its preparation method, and its application. The binary composite system oil displacement agent of this invention comprises a double-tailed hydrophobic associating polymer and sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate. The double-tailed hydrophobic associating polymer is first prepared by reacting a diisocyanate alkyl acid alkyl ester with an organic amine to obtain a double-tailed hydrophobic compound. Then, the double-tailed hydrophobic compound is grafted onto a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing acrylamide, unsaturated sulfonic acid, and hydroxy acrylate. The double-tailed hydrophobic groups can form a strong associative network, enhancing the system's emulsifying and oil-carrying capacity. Force and solution viscosity; sulfonic acid groups and amide groups can enhance molecular hydrophilicity and tolerance to calcium and magnesium ions, inhibiting molecular aggregation and viscosity loss under high salt conditions; sodium lauryl ether sulfate and the associative microregions of the double-tailed hydrophobic associative polymer have suitable hydrophobic affinity and steric hindrance matching effect, which can stably arrange the polyoxyethylene segments on the periphery of the hydrophobic associative microregions, without intruding into the interior of the associative microregions and destroying the associative network, thus ensuring the stability of the system viscosity and emulsification performance; at the same time, it can form a hydration protective layer by relying on the hydration of polyoxyethylene segments to shield against Ca. 2+ Mg 2+ It avoids adverse effects on the polymer and itself, prevents component instability or precipitation, and enables the system to simultaneously possess ultra-low interfacial tension, strong emulsification and oil carrying capacity, and excellent calcium and magnesium ion tolerance.

[0025] Application of a binary composite system oil displacement agent, wherein the binary composite system oil displacement agent is used for tertiary oil recovery.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] The binary composite system oil displacement agent of this invention includes a double-tailed hydrophobic associating polymer and sodium lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfate. The double-tailed hydrophobic associating polymer is first prepared by reacting a diisocyanate alkyl acid alkyl ester with an organic amine to obtain a double-tailed hydrophobic compound. Then, the double-tailed hydrophobic compound is grafted onto a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing acrylamide, unsaturated sulfonic acid, and hydroxy acrylate. The double-tailed hydrophobic groups can form a strong associative network, improving the system's emulsifying oil-carrying capacity and solution viscosity. The sulfonic acid groups and amide groups can enhance the separation... The hydrophilicity and tolerance to calcium and magnesium ions inhibit molecular aggregation and viscosity loss under high salt conditions. The suitable hydrophobic affinity and steric hindrance matching effect between the associative microregions of sodium lauryl ether sulfate and the double-tailed hydrophobic associative polymer allow the polyoxyethylene segments to be stably arranged on the periphery of the hydrophobic associative microregions. This prevents them from penetrating the interior of the associative microregions and disrupting the associative network, ensuring stable viscosity and emulsification properties of the system. Furthermore, the hydration of the polyoxyethylene segments forms a hydration protective layer, shielding against calcium and magnesium ions. 2+ Mg 2+ It avoids adverse effects on the polymer and itself, prevents component instability or precipitation, and enables the system to simultaneously possess ultra-low interfacial tension, strong emulsification and oil carrying capacity, and excellent calcium and magnesium ion tolerance.
