AI Technical Summary
The existing problems of poor permeability, high corrosion risk and weak environmental adaptability make it difficult to effectively remove sulfur deposits and blockages in high-sulfur natural gas fields. In addition, traditional cleaning agents cause severe corrosion to metal equipment and cannot adapt to high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
The cleaning agent is a penetrating, low-corrosion sulfur deposit unblocking agent, composed of sulfur-containing organic solvents, organic amine solvents, hydroxyl-containing organic amines, and benzene-ring-containing organic amines. Through specific ratio compounding, it forms an amino-terminated polyether surfactant, which improves penetration and reduces corrosivity.
Without the addition of corrosion inhibitors, the cleaning agent has high sulfur solubility and low corrosion rate, which can effectively remove stubborn sulfur deposits in near-wellbore formations and gathering and transportation pipelines, reduce the risk of corrosion of metal equipment, and adapt to high temperature and high pressure environments.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas field development technology, and in particular to a permeation-absorbing, low-corrosion sulfur deposition unblocking cleaning agent and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the development of high-sulfur natural gas fields, the deposition and blockage of elemental sulfur (S8) has become a core challenge restricting well productivity and increasing development costs. As gas reservoir development enters the middle and late stages, the decrease in formation pressure leads to a drop in temperature. When the reservoir temperature and pressure are lower than the washing conditions for elemental sulfur, gaseous sulfides (such as H2S) precipitate solid elemental sulfur, forming a dense deposit layer in the wellbore, near-wellbore formation, and gathering and transportation pipelines. This deposited sulfur has extremely strong adhesion and is difficult to remove by physical scraping or dissolve with a single solvent. Under temperature fluctuations, sulfur deposits undergo phase transitions, leading to dynamic changes in the blockage area and increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Moreover, the deposited sulfur reacts with iron ions in the formation water to form iron sulfide, exacerbating pipe corrosion and creating a vicious cycle of "blockage-corrosion-re-blockage". Traditional sulfur deposition cleaning technologies include physical cleaning methods, which are only suitable for local blockages and cannot handle micron-sized pores in near-wellbore formations or gathering and transportation pipelines with undulating surfaces; chemical dissolution methods can dissolve sulfur, but have problems such as high toxicity, high volatility, and insufficient permeability, and can severely corrode metal equipment; acid systems can partially dissolve sulfur, but are prone to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking, and cannot effectively penetrate dense sulfur deposits. Currently published sulfur deposition cleaning agent patents (such as CN1147823A and CN1147824A) mainly use organic solvents or strong oxidants, which have the following shortcomings: (1) Poor permeation performance: the solvent has high viscosity and high surface tension, making it difficult to penetrate into micron-sized pores through capillary force, and its ability to treat dense sulfur deposits is very limited; (2) High corrosion risk: strong acids or oxidizing solvents can easily damage wellbore metal equipment and shorten the life of facilities; (3) Weak environmental adaptability: it cannot adapt to the high temperature and high pressure environment of high sulfur gas fields, resulting in a decrease in cleaning efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, a penetrating, low-corrosion sulfur deposition unblocking cleaning agent and its preparation method were developed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0097] Deposited sulfur powder collected from gas field pipelines was pressed into thin sheets of approximately 5 mm under a pressure of 0.5 MPa to simulate deposited sulfur. The contact angle of the cleaning agent on the pressed sulfur sheets was measured using a dynamic contact angle meter (the result was 24.3°), and the surface tension of the cleaning agent was measured using a surface tension meter (the result was 24.4 mN / m). 100 mL of the prepared cleaning agent was placed in a stoppered colorimetric tube, and excess deposited sulfur powder was added at 25℃, 50℃, and 75℃ respectively. After standing for 120 min, the mixture was filtered and dried. The sulfur dissolution capacity of the cleaning agent was calculated using the differential method (S=W0-W1), in g / 100 mL.

[0098] This invention meets the following technical specifications:
[0099] (1) Penetration efficiency: By combining surfactants and solvents, the contact angle between the cleaning agent and the deposited sulfur and rocks is reduced to below 30°, enabling spontaneous penetration into micron-sized pores and improving the cleaning of dense sulfur deposits;
[0100] (2) Solubility: The solubility of sulfur deposits is ≥90% within the range of room temperature to 150℃;
[0101] (3) Corrosion rate: In sulfur-containing formation water, the corrosion rate of carbon steel is ≤0.1mm / a. This invention has formed a deposited sulfur unblocking cleaning agent with strong penetration ability and low corrosivity by selecting solvents with low surface tension and anti-corrosion properties and well-compatible penetrants.
[0102] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0103] 1. The sulfur-depositing unblocking cleaning agent disclosed in this invention mainly consists of sulfur-containing, amino-containing organic solvents and...
[0104] The cleaning agent, composed of amino-based penetrants, has a high sulfur solubility, reaching 82.75 g / 100 mL at 75°C.
[0105] 2. The sulfur-removing cleaning agent for unblocking deposits disclosed in this invention contains a certain proportion of aniline. Aniline not only...
[0106] It has the function of dissolving deposited sulfur, and its benzene ring has the effect of corrosion inhibition, so that the cleaning agent has a low corrosion rate without the addition of corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion rate of steel sheets at 75℃ can be as low as 0.032mm / a, which meets the requirement of ≤0.076mm / a in oilfield production. After 24 hours of soaking in fluororubber, the tensile strength reduction rate can be as low as 2.2%, and the elongation at break reduction rate can be as low as 6.8%.
[0107] 3. The penetrant contained in the sulfur deposit unblocking cleaning agent disclosed in this invention is a polyether type containing terminal amino groups.
[0108] Compared to polyether surfactants without terminal amino groups, surfactants can improve the wettability of cleaning agents with deposited sulfur, with a contact angle as low as 22.1° and a surface tension as low as 20.5 mN / m. This can increase the penetrating ability of cleaning agents to stubborn deposited sulfur, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.
[0109] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
