Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to a highly efficient unblocking agent for oil and water wells, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of oil and gas extraction, near-wellbore blockage is a core problem restricting the efficient development and stable production of oilfields. It persists throughout the entire process of drilling, completion, water injection, and oil production, becoming increasingly prominent, especially in the later stages of oilfield development. The types of blockages are complex and diverse, mainly including inorganic scale, organic scale, particulate migration, and water-locking emulsions, among other complex blockages. Inorganic scale is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, while organic scale mainly consists of waxy and asphaltene deposits. Particulate migration is mostly formed by the migration and aggregation of clay particles and silt. These blockages significantly reduce formation permeability, leading to a sharp decline in oil well production, increased water injection pressure in injection wells, and even fluid and production shutdowns, resulting in huge economic losses for oilfield production.

[0003] Currently, domestic and international approaches to address oil and water well blockage primarily employ techniques such as acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, physical deblocking, and bio-enzyme deblocking. Acidizing is highly corrosive to formation rocks and wellbore tubing, easily causing secondary damage; its rapid reaction speed and short effective range make it difficult to achieve deep deblocking, and it easily produces secondary precipitation such as fluorosilicates after acidizing, leading to re-blocking of the formation. Its short effective period makes it difficult to meet the long-term stable production requirements of oilfields. While hydraulic fracturing can improve permeability by creating artificial fractures, its construction process is complex and costly, and it carries risks such as fracture closure and sand blockage. Physical deblocking methods such as hydraulic oscillation and ultrasound cause less damage to the formation, but their energy decays rapidly, their effective radius is small, and their effective period is short, making long-term deblocking impossible. Bio-enzyme deblocking, while environmentally friendly and non-corrosive, has a long action time, limited effectiveness against complex blockages, and high cost, making large-scale application difficult.

[0004] Developing a highly efficient, low-damage, and environmentally friendly unblocking agent for oil and water wells has become a pressing technical challenge in the current oilfield development field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a highly efficient unblocking agent for oil and water wells and its preparation method. The unblocking agent of this invention has the advantages of good unblocking effect, low corrosion rate, and no secondary pollution.

[0006] The first objective of this invention discloses a highly efficient unblocking agent for oil and water wells, which, by weight percentage, is composed of the following raw materials: Acid-dissolving agent 2-4%; Multi-functional unblocking agent 0.1-0.2%; Strengthen the unblocking agent to 0.2-0.5%; Water balance.

[0007] The acid unblocking agent is one or two of hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and citric acid. It should be noted that the concentrations of hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and citric acid have been converted to 100%, and unless otherwise specified below, they will be calculated in this manner.

[0008] The structural formula of the multifunctional unblocking agent is as follows: .

[0009] The aforementioned enhanced unblocking agent is sulfonate betaine, comprising one or more of 3-(N,N-dimethyldodecylammonium)propane sulfonate, 3-(N,N-dimethyltetradecylammonium)propane sulfonate, 3-(N,N-dimethylhexadecylammonium)propane sulfonate, and 3-(N,N-dimethyloctadecylammonium)propane sulfonate, with the following structural formula:

[0010] Where R is C 12 H 25 C 14 H 29 C 16 H 33 C 18 H 37 One or more of them.

[0011] The second objective of this invention is to disclose a method for preparing the aforementioned unblocking agent, the method specifically comprising the following steps: S1. Oleic acid, diethylenetriamine, and xylene are added to the first reactor, and the mixture is heated and kept at a constant temperature to carry out the amidation reaction. S2, continue heating to carry out the cyclization reaction; S3. Reduced pressure distillation, cooling, add distilled water, adjust pH to 7-8 with sodium hydroxide, and simultaneously add carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution dropwise. Maintain pH 7-8 during the reaction process. After the addition is complete, heat to reflux for the reaction. S4. Cool the above mixture to below 10°C to precipitate crystals, centrifuge, and obtain a multifunctional unblocking agent; S5. Water, multi-functional unblocking agent, and enhanced unblocking agent are added sequentially to the second reactor and stirred evenly. Then, acid unblocking agent is added and stirred evenly to obtain a high-efficiency unblocking agent for oil and water wells.

[0012] In this invention, the molar ratio of diethylenetriamine, carbon disulfide and oleic acid is further 1-1.5:0.4-0.6:1; even further, the molar ratio of diethylenetriamine, carbon disulfide and oleic acid is 1.2-1.4:0.45-0.55:1.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, the mass ratio of xylene to oleic acid is 0.3-0.5:1.

[0014] Furthermore, the amidation reaction in step S1 is carried out at a temperature of 120-140°C for 2-4 hours.

[0015] Furthermore, the cyclization reaction in step S2 is carried out at a temperature of 170-190°C for 6-12 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the mass ratio of distilled water to oleic acid in step S3 is 4-6:1.

[0017] Furthermore, the reflux reaction time in step S3 is 1-2 hours.

[0018] A third objective of this invention is to disclose the application of the above-mentioned unblocking agent in unblocking oil and water wells.

[0019] This invention relates to a high-efficiency unblocking agent for oil and water wells, which is a composite unblocking agent. The hydrochloric acid or citric acid in the acid unblocking agent can quickly dissolve formation blockages caused by carbonates, while hydrofluoric acid can dissolve formation blockages caused by mud particles and formation clay minerals, thereby relieving inorganic contamination in oil and water wells. This multifunctional unblocking agent has two functions: a corrosion inhibitor function and a sludge unblocking function. The corrosion inhibitor function reduces the corrosion of the tubing by the acid unblocking agent, based on two principles. Principle 1 is that the multifunctional unblocking agent contains imidazoline functional groups, which attach to the metal surface through hydrophilic groups. Its hydrophobic alkyl chains form a dense protective film, effectively blocking H... + The corrosion inhibition process, which slows down the corrosion rate, is based on the principle that sulfur atoms in the molecule have vacant 3d orbitals. The outer electrons of the metal can feed back to the 3d orbitals of sulfur, forming a stable π-bond structure, reducing the electron cloud density of the metal, making its surface less susceptible to oxidation, and thus further enhancing the corrosion inhibition effect. The multifunctional unblocking agent can be adsorbed at the oil-water interface, reducing interfacial tension. The alkyl chains can enter the sludge and remove it from situ. The enhanced unblocking agent forms worm-like micelles in an acidic environment, thickening the acid solution, sealing high-permeability zones, and achieving diversion and separation. Simultaneously, it reduces oil-water interfacial tension, emulsifies and removes oil from pores. Upon contact with oil, the structure automatically breaks down, facilitating backflow, achieving deep and uniform unblocking without residual damage.

[0020] The beneficial effects and advantages of this invention compared with the prior art are as follows: (1) The unblocking agent of the present invention has a good dissolution effect on natural rock cores, and the dissolution rate can reach 29.3%; (2) The unblocking agent of this invention has a good corrosion inhibition effect, and the corrosion rate can be as low as 0.7 g / (m²). 2 . h); (3) The unblocking agent of the present invention has a good unblocking effect, and the permeability recovery rate can reach 93.6%.
