Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of oilfield chemistry and oil and gas field development engineering technology, and in particular to a slow-dissolving temporary plugging particle for pressure drive, its preparation method, anti-channeling temporary plugging system and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Low-permeability oilfields refer to oilfields with low reservoir permeability, low abundance, and low single-well productivity. Low-permeability oil and gas fields are of great significance to my country's oil and gas development. my country's low-permeability oil and gas resources are characterized by abundant oil and gas content, diverse reservoir types, wide distribution areas, and a pattern of "gas above oil, marine gas as the main component, and continental oil and gas as well." Low-permeability oil reservoirs account for a very high proportion of the proven reserves, approximately two-thirds of the national total, indicating enormous development potential.
[0003] Low-permeability oilfields are primarily developed using water-drive. However, due to the complex reservoir conditions, development of low-permeability reservoirs is challenging. During water injection development in low-permeability reservoirs, common problems include high injection pressure and a high under-injection ratio, resulting in a prominent contradiction of "injection failure and production failure." Effective displacement between oil and water wells cannot be established, formation energy declines rapidly, and production capacity decreases quickly, sometimes even leading to shutdown.
[0004] Hydraulic fracturing and water injection is an effective development technology for low-permeability reservoirs. It aims to force the low-permeability reservoir to absorb a large amount of water through ultra-high pressure injection, rapidly increasing pressure and energy. After well shut-in, the pressure is transmitted and balanced, driving crude oil to migrate to the production well. Ultimately, this allows the well to release pressure, increase fluid volume, and boost production during well opening, thereby significantly improving reservoir recovery. Hydraulic fracturing and water injection combines hydraulic fracturing with water injection, enabling rapid and effective replenishment of formation energy and potentially solving the aforementioned problems.
[0005] However, the following problems exist in the process of pressure-driven water injection development: (1) It is difficult to turn the fractures, the lateral micro-fractures are poorly opened, the fractures are single, the pressure-driven sweep coefficient is low, resulting in low oil displacement efficiency; (2) The main fractures are prone to excessive extension, resulting in pressure penetration, causing oil and water wells to penetrate, water to flow too early, and causing oil wells to stop production.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop a temporary plugging system to prevent excessive extension of the main fracture during pressure-driven water injection, which could lead to fracture isolation or water channeling; at the same time, it should not completely block the fracture so that water injection can continue after pressure-driven water injection is completed.
[0007] Currently, there are various types of temporary plugging agents. Based on their unblocking methods, they can be mainly classified into water-soluble, acid-soluble, oil-soluble, and biodegradable temporary plugging agents. Among these, oil-soluble temporary plugging agents are generally made of resins, paraffin wax, and other materials, possessing a certain pressure resistance, but they are thermoplastic and easily soften at high temperatures, making them unsuitable for pressure-driven water injection operations. Other types of temporary plugging agents cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of pressure-driven water injection in terms of temperature resistance, pressure resistance, dissolution, and sealing time. Pressure-driven water injection processes require temperatures above 150℃, pressure differential resistance of 20MPa, slow dissolution, and a temporary plugging time of 15–40 days.
[0008] Chinese patent application CN115850573A discloses a water-soluble particulate temporary plugging agent, which consists of 15%–20% acrylamide, 1%–2% methyl acrylate, 0.5%–1% crosslinking agent, 0.15%–1.1% initiator, 2%–5% miscible solvent, 0.02%–0.03% co-solvent, and the balance being water. This temporary plugging agent dissolves rapidly in water, with a dissolution time of 15–20 minutes, resulting in a short plugging time that cannot meet the time requirements of pressure-driven operations.
[0009] Chinese patent application CN115838589A discloses a gel-like particulate temporary plugging agent, comprising 4%–10% polyvinyl alcohol, 0.03%–0.05% aldehyde crosslinking agent, 0.2%–0.4% potential acid catalyst, and the balance being water. This temporary plugging agent exhibits low plugging strength, a plugging pressure of 6.03 MPa, and is suitable for temperatures of 90–120℃ and a salinity ≤4×10⁻⁶. 4 Formations with a concentration of mg / L cannot meet the design requirements of pressure-driven water injection processes in terms of pressure bearing capacity and temperature resistance.
[0010] Chinese patent application CN115895617A discloses a fiber-based temporary plugging agent, which is a water-soluble temporary plugging agent comprising a polyvinyl alcohol fiber matrix and sodium silicate uniformly dispersed in the polyvinyl alcohol fiber matrix; the mass of the sodium silicate is 25-35% of the total mass of the fiber-based temporary plugging agent. This fiber-based temporary plugging agent exhibits good unblocking effect at high temperatures of 140-160℃, with a dissolution time of 20.5-23.8 hours. Its dissolution conditions and effects are suitable for high-temperature reservoir fracturing. However, its breakthrough pressure is 10-18.7 MPa, which is insufficient to meet the pressure resistance and plugging time requirements of hydraulic fracturing and water injection processes.
[0011] Chinese patent application CN109401739A discloses a high-temperature resistant shielding temporary plugging agent, which is an acid-soluble temporary plugging agent. The components, by weight, include 100 parts particulate material; 5-20 parts elastic material; 5-20 parts filler material; 5-15 parts fiber material; and 1-5 parts micro / nano material. This temporary plugging agent can withstand temperatures up to 200℃ and pressures greater than 10MPa. Its acid solubility in 15wt% hydrochloric acid is greater than 80%, demonstrating good temperature resistance. However, its pressure resistance is insufficient to meet the requirements of pressure-driven water injection processes.
[0012] Chinese patent application CN115960593A discloses a biodegradable temporary plugging agent. The agent is knot-shaped and composed of 72-80 parts biodegradable resin, 12-20 parts modified polyethylene glycol, 1-5 parts nanoparticle toughening agent, 1-5 parts salt toughening agent, and 1-3 parts water-blocking agent. While this temporary plugging agent improves plugging time to some extent, it is mainly suitable for low-temperature reservoirs at 20-60℃, and the knot's outer diameter is 13-18 mm. It is typically suitable for borehole plugging and has poor applicability for temporary plugging in pressure-driven fractures in high-temperature reservoirs.
[0013] Chinese patent application CN115820232A discloses a biodegradable temporary plugging agent. The raw materials used are complex, including 60-80 wt% polyethylene glycol, 15-25 wt% polyvinyl alcohol, 0.5-2 wt% zinc stearate, 0.5-2 wt% 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 4-10 wt% polybutylene succinate, 0.1-0.5 wt% triacetin, 0.1-0.5 wt% tributyl citrate, 0.3-0.7 wt% polyethylene wax, 0.1-0.5 wt% cationic starch, 0.1-0.3 wt% sepiolite fiber, 1.0-3.0 wt% calcium carbonate, 0.5-1.0 wt% hexamethylenetetramine, and 0.5-1.0 wt% trimethylallyl ammonium chloride. The aforementioned biodegradable temporary plugging agent is suitable for reservoirs at 110–120°C and can withstand pressures of over 50 MPa. However, it has many components, is complex to prepare, dissolves rapidly at high temperatures, and the higher the temperature, the faster the dissolution. The dissolution time is 7 hours above 100°C, resulting in a short plugging time that cannot meet the plugging time requirements of the pressure-driven water injection process.
[0014] In summary, existing temporary plugging agents are mainly used in fracturing and acidizing operations, with fewer applications in hydraulic pressure injection processes. However, hydraulic pressure injection differs significantly from fracturing and acidizing operations, involving not only higher injection pressures but also longer operation cycles. Therefore, temporary plugging agents used in hydraulic pressure injection require not only strong pressure resistance but also long sealing duration. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop an anti-channeling temporary plugging system suitable for hydraulic pressure injection processes. Summary of the Invention
[0015] The technical problem this application aims to solve is that during hydraulic fracturing and water injection, the high injection pressure can easily lead to excessive extension of the main fracture, causing oil-water well penetration and premature water channeling. Hydraulic fracturing operations involve high injection pressure and long operation cycles, therefore, the temporary plugging agents used in hydraulic fracturing need to withstand temperatures above 150℃, pressure differentials of 20MPa, slow dissolution, and a temporary plugging time of 15–40 days. Currently, temporary plugging systems used in fracturing and acidizing are not suitable for hydraulic fracturing and water injection processes. Furthermore, hydraulic fracturing plugging cannot completely seal the area to allow for continued water injection and oil recovery after hydraulic fracturing, so current plugging agents are also unsuitable.
[0016] Purpose of the invention: The present invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by disclosing slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles for pressure drive, their preparation method, anti-channeling temporary plugging system, and their applications.
[0017] Technical solution: Pressure-driven slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles, composed of hollow soluble metal alloy particles and a hydrophobic layer surrounding the outer surface of the hollow soluble metal alloy particles, wherein:
[0018] The hydrophobic layer is a cross-linked system formed by a network structuring agent and a coupling agent under ultraviolet irradiation in the presence of a catalyst.
[0019] The preparation method of the above-mentioned slow-dissolving and temporary plugging particles for pressure displacement, by weight, comprises the following steps:
[0020] (1) Place 80 parts of hollow soluble metal alloy particles in a reaction vessel, then add 2 to 10 parts of coupling agent, shake for at least 5 min, preferably 5 to 60 min, then add 2 to 8 parts of network structure agent, shake again for at least 5 min, preferably 5 to 30 min, to obtain the first fluid;
[0021] (2) Add 0.5 to 5 parts of catalyst to the first fluid, shake and mix to obtain the second fluid, pour out the second fluid and spread it evenly in a container, and irradiate it with an ultraviolet lamp for at least 10 minutes, preferably 10-240 minutes to obtain the slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles for pressure drive.
[0022] Slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles for pressure drive are prepared by any one of the above-described methods for preparing slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles for pressure drive.
[0023] The anti-channeling temporary blocking system, based on its total mass, consists of the following components:
[0024] 5% to 20% of the above-mentioned slow-dissolving and temporary plugging particles for pressure drive, 0.5% to 5% of nonionic surfactant, and the balance being water.
[0025] The aforementioned anti-channeling and temporary plugging system is used as an anti-channeling and temporary plugging agent in pressure-driven water injection exploitation of low-permeability oilfields.
[0026] The main improvements of this invention are:
[0027] 1. The soluble metal alloy particles were designed as hollow soluble metal alloy particles, and the composition of the hollow soluble metal alloy particles was improved: in order to slow down the dissolution rate of the metal particles, the aluminum content was increased from 5.0-10.0% to 10-20%.
[0028] 2. Improvement of the physical structure of hollow soluble metal alloy particles: Since the density of soluble metal alloy particles is between 1.5 and 2.0 g / cm³... 3 In the meantime, alloy particles sink and aggregate in water, making it difficult to inject them properly. This invention designs solid alloy plugging particles into a hollow structure, making their apparent density comparable to water, so that they can be self-suspended in water without the aid of any external objects, thus reducing the injection difficulty of the pressure-driven plugging system.
[0029] 3. The hollow soluble metal alloy particles were chemically modified: This chemical modification forms a hydrophobic layer on the outer surface of the metal particles, which prevents water from contacting the hollow soluble metal alloy particles, significantly reduces the hydrolysis reaction of the hollow soluble metal alloy particles, prolongs the temporary plugging time of the metal particles, and also effectively prevents the slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles used in the pressure drive in the anti-channeling temporary plugging system from agglomerating during the injection process.
[0030] Beneficial effects: The slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles for pressure drive, their preparation method, anti-channeling temporary plugging system, and applications disclosed in this invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0031] (1) Compared with conventional temporary plugging agents, the temporary plugging agent in this invention has higher pressure differential strength, stronger high temperature resistance, stronger salt resistance, and longer effective plugging time, which can reach 40 days.
[0032] (2) Compared with simple aluminum-magnesium alloy metal particles, the present invention does not require the addition of any substances and can be directly suspended in the oilfield injection water, reducing the difficulty of injection and reducing safety risks.
[0033] (3) Compared with simple aluminum-magnesium alloy metal particles, the present invention reacts more slowly in water with high mineralization and high temperature. During the on-site injection process, it will not release a large amount of hydrogen due to violent reaction, which will increase the construction risk. Attached Figure Description

They were also used together with the slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles A prepared in Example 4 and the slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles B prepared in Example 5 for pressure driving under different conditions to conduct dissolution experiments. During the dissolution experiments, sealed containers were used to collect hydrogen gas by water displacement. The reaction rate of the metal particles was calculated by the mass of hydrogen gas.
[0234] (1) Conversion rate of soluble metal particles in 50000 mg / L standard saline solution at room temperature
[0235] Take 10g of the slow-dissolving temporary plugging particles A prepared in Example 4, add 90g of 50000mg / L standard saline, place at room temperature (25℃) to carry out the dissolution reaction, and collect hydrogen gas, and record the amount of hydrogen gas collected at regular intervals.

From Figure 1 As can be seen, at room temperature and in 50,000 mg / L standard saline, the soluble metal particles, which served as the control group, reacted violently with the standard saline because they did not have a hydrophobic layer, and the reaction conversion rate was the highest at 88%.
