Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of oilfield chemical technology. Background Technology

[0002] Sand production in oilfields is a common core extraction problem in loose sandstone reservoirs, heterogeneous reservoirs, and long-term developed reservoirs. It not only directly affects the production capacity and development efficiency of oil wells, but also increases operating costs and safety risks, and is one of the key factors restricting the efficient development of oilfields.

[0003] To address the sand production problem in oilfields, three major technical systems have been established: mechanical sand stabilization, chemical sand stabilization, and composite sand stabilization. Among these, chemical sand stabilization agents offer a simpler construction process, lower equipment requirements, and compatibility with existing oilfield operating systems, demonstrating significant advantages over the "high investment and high complexity" of mechanical and composite sand stabilization. In chemical sand stabilization, resin-based sand stabilizing agents have gained widespread use due to their high compatibility, good bonding strength, and simple construction process. Epoxy resin and phenolic resin are the two most commonly used resins; however, using either alone cannot achieve optimal results, and they are generally used in combination to meet higher requirements.

[0004] Currently, the compounding of epoxy resin and phenolic resin is generally done through simple physical blending. However, simple physical blending of epoxy resin and phenolic resin results in insufficient compatibility, leading to phase separation at high temperatures, which in turn causes the solidified body to weaken and become brittle. Epoxy-phenolic resin, due to its combination of the high adhesiveness of epoxy resin and the high-temperature resistance of phenolic resin, has become the preferred cementing material for sand-producing formations. For example, Chinese patent document CN116162216A provides a method for preparing epoxy-modified phenolic resin for oil fracturing sands. This method uses epoxy resin to modify phenolic resin, preparing a cross-linked network polymer structure, which increases the mechanical strength of the phenolic resin. By introducing long flexible ether chains, it acquires excellent mechanical properties, increases the tensile strength of the phenolic resin, and enhances its toughness. However, in this patent, the resin solution is mainly composed of modified resin, with the addition of a small amount of curing agent and coupling agent. The overall system is oil-soluble, and its viscosity is easily affected by temperature and shear rate, which may lead to difficulties in injection or uniform spreading in low-permeability formations, resulting in uneven sand-fixing effects. Chinese patent document CN110684517A provides a self-polymerizing, consolidating, pressure-resistant, permeable, and temperature-resistant sand-preventing agent, which includes the following components: a resin compound system, a coupling agent, an organic solvent, an emulsifier, a filler, and a curing agent. The mass percentage of each component is as follows: resin compound system 30-40%; organic solvent 40-50%; coupling agent 5-7%; filler 5-8%; curing agent 4-5% and emulsifier 5-8%. The sum of the mass percentages of each component is 100%. The resin compound system is composed of epoxy resin E-44, epoxy resin E-51, phenolic resin F-51, and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30.

[0005] However, current epoxy phenolic resin microemulsion-based sand-fixing agents have significant drawbacks: First, it is difficult to balance the stability and demulsification response of the microemulsion; stable microemulsions are difficult to demulsify, while unstable microemulsions have short shelf lives, failing to meet the needs of on-site construction. Second, most curing agents are single-response, unable to adapt to a wide temperature range, and cause significant damage to formation permeability after curing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a microemulsion-based sand-fixing agent with high compressive strength, good permeability, and high stability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent, its preparation method, and its application. The sand-fixing agent of this invention uses modified epoxy phenolic resin as the cementing phase, combined with a temperature-responsive curing agent and multifunctional additives, to form a stable O / W microemulsion system. It can be used in a temperature range of 45-110℃, exhibits high compressive strength of the solidified body, high permeability retention, and long-term stability of the working fluid. This solves the contradiction between the compressive strength and permeability of the sand column after cementation in traditional resin sand-fixing agents, improves the stability of the sand-fixing working fluid, and reduces the on-site construction risks of resin-based sand-fixing working fluids. It is suitable for vertical wells, horizontal wells, and secondary sand control scenarios in loose sandstone reservoirs.

[0030] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is used for sand fixation in sandstone reservoirs; the specific application method is as follows:

[0031] (1) Inject pre-fluid to clean the formation;

[0032] (2) Inject the modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent;

[0033] (3) Guan Jinghou Ning.

[0034] According to the present invention, the injection volume and injection method of the pre-treatment fluid and the modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent can be determined according to the methods commonly used in the art.

[0035] The technical features and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0036] 1. This invention modifies the surface of phenolic resin with epoxy resin and a specific modifier to construct a composite interface structure of "epoxy flexible segments - phenolic rigid skeleton". This retains the core advantages of phenolic resin, such as high temperature resistance and high bonding strength, while the epoxy groups of epoxy resin and the hydroxymethyl groups of phenolic resin undergo a cross-linking reaction to fill the pores and defects on the surface of phenolic resin, reducing brittleness after curing. At the same time, the modifier embeds specific functional groups into the resin network to form a special modified resin. The hydrophilicity of the phenolic resin surface is improved after modification, and the binding force with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of sand particles is enhanced, effectively solving the problems of easy cracking and weak interfacial bonding of traditional phenolic resin sand fixing agents.

[0037] 2. This invention uses an anhydride cyclodextrin inclusion complex as a temperature-responsive curing agent. The cavity structure of cyclodextrin encapsulates the anhydride molecules. At room temperature, the curing agent cannot be released to cure the resin. When the formation temperature is reached, the inclusion structure of cyclodextrin disintegrates, the anhydride is released and cross-links with the resin to cure, allowing for precise control of the curing timing.

[0038] 3. The sand-fixing agent of the present invention contains specific emulsifiers and emulsification aids, which work synergistically with other components to make the resulting sand-fixing agent emulsion uniform and stable. At the same time, under the formation temperature, the directional adsorption characteristics of the microemulsion particles in the sand-fixing agent of the present invention can destroy the stable structure of the microemulsion, realize oil-water separation, and the cementing phase forms a "flexible cross-linking-rigid support" composite consolidation layer on the surface of sand particles under the continuous action of the temperature-responsive curing agent, which has high consolidation strength, good anti-dilution properties, low formation damage and wide temperature range adaptability.

[0039] 4. The sand-fixing agent of the present invention can be used in a temperature range of 45-110℃, with a solidified body compressive strength ≥8MPa, and a 70% diluted working fluid solidified body compressive strength ≥7MPa, a permeability retention rate ≥60%, and long-term stability. It is suitable for vertical wells, horizontal wells, and secondary sand control scenarios in loose sandstone reservoirs. It solves the contradiction between the compressive strength and permeability of the sand column after cementation by traditional resin sand-fixing agents, improves the stability of the sand-fixing working fluid, and reduces the on-site construction risks of resin-based sand-fixing working fluids.

[0040] 5. The sand-fixing agent prepared by this invention has the advantages of uniform and stable working fluid, moderate curing speed, high sand-fixing strength, and good permeability retention. It is also simple to construct, safe and stable, and suitable for widespread promotion. Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the technical solutions of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described.

[0044] The modified epoxy phenolic resin is obtained by modifying phenolic resin with epoxy resin and a modifier. The epoxy resin is E44 epoxy resin, the phenolic resin is type 2127 phenolic resin, and the modifier is para-aminosalicylic acid. The mass ratio of epoxy resin to phenolic resin is 3:10, and the mass ratio of modifier to phenolic resin is 1:10. The modified epoxy phenolic resin is prepared by the following method: phenolic resin and epoxy resin are mixed and etherified at 100°C for 3 hours under the catalysis of acidic catalyst p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.5% of the phenolic resin mass). The temperature is then lowered to 80°C, and the modifier and polymerization inhibitor hydroquinone are added. The reaction is carried out at 80°C for 2 hours (0.005% of the phenolic resin mass).

[0059] Example 6

[0060] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that the acid anhydride is maleic anhydride.

[0061] Example 7

[0062] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that the emulsifying aid is n-butanol.

[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that no modifier is added.

[0065] Comparative Example 2

[0066] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that phenolic resin is used instead of modified epoxy phenolic resin.

[0067] Comparative Example 3

[0068] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion type sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that cyclodextrin is not added to the temperature-responsive curing agent.

[0069] Comparative Example 4

[0070] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion type sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that acid anhydride is not added to the temperature-responsive curing agent.

[0071] Comparative Example 5

[0072] A modified epoxy phenolic resin composite metastable microemulsion sand-fixing agent is described in Example 4, except that no emulsifying aids are added.

[0073] Experimental Example 1

[0074] The following performance tests were conducted on the sand-fixing agents prepared in the examples and comparative examples:

[0075] Take 20g of sand-fixing agent and put it into a 50mL transparent plastic tube with a cap. Place it in a constant temperature water bath at different temperatures and observe. Record the time when the liquid becomes completely opaque. Record this as the initial setting time.

[0076] After the sand-fixing agent and engineering sand (40-100 mesh) are mixed evenly at a weight ratio of 20:50, the mixture is placed in a glass tube with an inner diameter of 25 mm and compacted. The mixture is then kept at a certain temperature for 72 hours to solidify and prepare a cemented rock core sample. Its compressive strength and gas permeability are then tested.

[0077] The test results of different embodiments and comparative indicators are shown in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1 Indicator Test Results

[0079]

[0080] As can be seen from Table 1, the sand-fixing agents obtained by different technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention all have good indoor evaluation effects at various temperatures. Comparative Example 1, lacking a modifier, experienced a significant decrease in the compressive strength of its cemented core. This was because, despite the etherification reaction, the compatibility between epoxy resin and phenolic resin remained poor, leading to phase separation at high temperatures and resulting in strength degradation and brittle failure of the solidified body. Comparative Example 2, using phenolic resin instead of modified epoxy phenolic resin, also experienced a significant decrease in the compressive strength of its cemented core. This was because pure phenolic resin cement is brittle and has weak bonding with the sand grain surface. Comparative Example 3, lacking cyclodextrin in its temperature-responsive curing agent, resulted in a short initial setting time, failing to meet construction requirements. This was because the acid anhydride catalyzed too quickly under temperature conditions. Comparative Example 4, lacking acid anhydride in its temperature-responsive curing agent, failed to solidify. Comparative Example 5, lacking emulsifying aids, resulted in the working fluid separating and becoming unusable. This was because modified epoxy phenolic resin can only form a metastable microemulsion under the combined action of emulsifiers and emulsifying aids.
