Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agents, their preparation methods, oil displacement systems, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Most of my country's water-injection oilfields have entered the high water-cut development stage, and more than 60% of the geological reserves require tertiary oil recovery for extraction. Tertiary oil recovery is a technology used to enhance crude oil recovery by injecting gases, chemicals, microorganisms, or steam.
[0003] In tertiary oil recovery, chemical flooding can improve oil recovery by 10% to 19%, showing great potential and being a major method for enhancing oil recovery. However, due to the high temperature, high salinity, and complex produced water conditions in reservoirs where chemical flooding is implemented, the application of chemical flooding technology faces severe challenges.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN 102372820A discloses a polymerizable functional monomer and its synthesis method. The prepared polymerizable functional monomer can be used to synthesize long-chain branched polymers for tertiary oil recovery, ultimately producing a binary composite oil displacement agent for tertiary oil recovery. However, under high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir conditions, the viscosity of the polymer used for oil displacement suffers severe loss, requiring increased dosage and increasing oil recovery costs.
[0005] Chinese invention patent application CN 101942297A discloses a fatty amide phosphate potassium betaine surfactant for tertiary oil recovery, its preparation method, and its application. The fatty amide phosphate potassium betaine surfactant has the following structural formula: Wherein: R1 is an alkyl group of C13 to C23; R2 is an alkyl group of C12 to C20. However, the above-mentioned surfactants for oil displacement also have problems such as poor temperature and salt resistance and low oil washing efficiency.
[0006] Nanotechnology is a new type of science and technology that emerged in the late 1980s and has rapidly risen to prominence. With the continuous development of nanotechnology and the emergence of nanomaterials, nanotechnology is penetrating into various fields and has entered the field of oil development, with nano-enhanced oil recovery systems receiving widespread attention.
[0007] Chinese invention patent application CN103725278A discloses a method for preparing a nano-oil displacement agent with stable temperature and salt resistance. Polyacrylamide is modified onto the surface of silica nanoparticles through chemical bonds to obtain stable nanocomposite particles, which are then combined with alkali and surfactant to prepare a nano-oil displacement agent.
[0008] Chinese invention patent application CN103160268A discloses a nano-silica / polymer oil displacement agent and its synthesis method. This oil displacement agent is a terpolymer composed of acrylamide, acrylic acid, and nano-silica functional monomers. The mass percentages of the raw materials used are: acrylamide 60.5%-69.9%, acrylic acid 30%-35%, and nano-silica functional monomers 0.1%-4.5%. The synthesis method is as follows: First, nano-silica functional monomers, acrylamide, and acrylic acid are added to a three-necked flask. The pH is adjusted to 7.0-7.5 with sodium hydroxide solution to prepare a solution with a total monomer mass concentration of 10%-20%. Nitrogen gas is purged for 45 minutes. Then, an initiator is added, and the reaction is carried out at 30-55℃ for 4-8 hours. Finally, the mixture is washed with anhydrous ethanol, dried, and pulverized to obtain the terpolymer. The terpolymer exhibits strong shear resistance and good temperature and salt resistance.
[0009] Cheng Yamin et al. reported a nano-silica oil displacement agent grafted with polymer chains in the paper "Synthesis and Properties of Polyacrylamide / 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-propanesulfonate Polymer Grafted Nano-SiO2 Oil Displacement Agent" published in the journal Chemical Research, Vol. 28, No. 2, 2017. The agent can improve the displacement efficiency of reservoirs after water flooding when the concentration is above 0.1%.
[0010] These publicly reported nano-oil displacement agents all utilize the surface effect of nanoparticles to introduce polymers onto the surface of nano-silica, thereby improving the performance of the polymers. However, none of them have considered the effect of nanoparticles on surfactants, which would affect their application effect.
[0011] This invention addresses the shortcomings of current nano-displacement oil systems by developing a carboxyl-modified nano-displacement agent that can significantly improve the performance of surfactants. This agent can simultaneously increase the viscosity and calcium resistance of polymers, effectively enhancing the recovery rate of high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs.

[0227] Performance testing and characterization
[0228] Test Example 1: Particle Size Test
[0229] 1. 50 mg of the amino-modified silica nanoparticles synthesized in step (2) of Example 5 were dispersed in 10 mL of deionized water (0.5 wt%) and sonicated for 10 min to obtain an amino-modified silica nanoparticle dispersion. The particle size distribution of the nanoparticles was determined using a Zetasizer Nano ZSP laser light scattering instrument, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. From Figure 1 It can be seen that the amino-modified silica nanoparticles have uniform particle size and good monodispersity, with a mode particle size of 23.68 nm.
[0230] 2. 50 mg of the synthesized carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent was dispersed in 10 mL of deionized water (0.5 wt%) and sonicated for 10 min to obtain a dispersion of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent. The particle size distribution of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent was determined using a Zetasizer Nano ZSP laser light scattering instrument. The above experiment was repeated three times, and the results are as follows. Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent has uniform particle size and good monodispersity, with a mode particle size of about 20 nm.
[0231] Test Example 2: Oil-Water Interfacial Tension
[0232] The carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent obtained in Example 5 was compounded with petroleum sulfonate for oil displacement (code name SLPS, provided by Shandong Daming Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.). The concentration of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent was 0.05%-0.3%, and the concentration of the petroleum sulfonate for oil displacement was 0.3%. The interfacial tension at 70°C was measured using a rotating drop interfacial tensiometer. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0233] The oil used in the experiment was dehydrated crude oil from Shengli Gudong Oilfield, with a viscosity of 102 mPa·s at 70℃.
[0234] The water used in the experiment was simulated formation water with a total mineralization of 10966 mg / L and a calcium and magnesium ion content of 334 mg / L.
[0235] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the interfacial tension between a 0.3% single petroleum sulfonate solution and Gudong crude oil can only reach 10. -1 The oil-water interfacial tension was on the order of mN / m, and the addition of carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent significantly reduced the interfacial tension. The lowest interfacial tension, reaching 4 × 10⁻⁵, was observed with the addition of 0.05% carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent. -3 mN / m.
[0236] Interfacial tension is closely related to the ordered arrangement of surfactants at the oil-water interface. SNP-COONa and petroleum sulfonate undergo mixed adsorption at the oil-water interface. At a concentration of 0.05%, the two molecules are arranged closely and orderly at the oil-water interface, which is most beneficial for reducing the interfacial tension. This is the result of their synergistic effect. Increasing the concentration of SNP-COONa causes SNP-COONa molecules to replace SLPS molecules at the oil-water interface, making the oil-water adsorption layer loose and disordered, which is not conducive to reducing interfacial tension. If the concentration of SNP-COONa is too low, it cannot fully fill the vacancies at the oil-water interface of petroleum sulfonate. The interfacial tension is lower than that of petroleum sulfonate alone, but it does not reach ultra-low levels.
[0237] Test Example 3 Wash Oil Rate
[0238] The carboxyl-modified nano-displacement agent obtained in Preparation Example 5 was compounded with petroleum sulfonate for oil displacement. The concentration of the nano-displacement agent was 0.05%, and the concentration of the petroleum sulfonate for oil displacement was 0.3%. Simulated formation sand and Gudong crude oil were mixed at a mass ratio of 4:1 and aged at 70°C for 7 days. The oil washing effect of the nano-displacement agent on the aged oil sand was evaluated. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0239] Table 1 Comparison of wash-oil rates of different systems
[0240] Serial Number system Wash oil yield (%) 1 0.3% SLPS 24.8 2 0.3% SLPS + 0.05% SNP-COONa 61.4
[0241] As shown in Table 1, under the same conditions, the oil washing rate of petroleum sulfonate for oil displacement was only 24.8%. After adding 0.05% of carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent, the oil washing rate of the composite system reached 61.4%, indicating that the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent has a significant synergistic effect on the oil washing performance of petroleum sulfonate.
[0242] Test Example 4 Viscosity
[0243] The carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent obtained in Preparation Example 5 was compounded with a polymer (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide HPAM, molecular weight 22 million, provided by Shandong Baomo Biochemical Co., Ltd.). The concentration of the nano-oil displacement agent was 0.05%-0.3%, and the concentration of the polymer was 0.2%.
[0244] Viscosity was measured using an MCR302 rheometer at a test temperature of 70℃ and a shear rate of 7.34 s⁻¹. -1 The test results are shown below. Figure 4 And Table 2. From Figure 4 As shown in Table 2, within the experimental concentration range, the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent can significantly increase the viscosity of the polymer. Even with the addition of a very low concentration of 0.05% of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent, the polymer viscosity increased from 43.2 mPa·s to 54.8%, an increase of 26.9%, demonstrating the significant thickening effect of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent on the polymer.

[0247] Test Example 5: Calcium Resistance
[0248] Calcium ions of 100 mg / L and 200 mg / L were added to simulated formation water to obtain calcium-added simulated brine I and calcium-added simulated brine II. The calcium-added simulated brine was used to prepare a compound solution of the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent and polymer prepared in Example 5. The concentration of the nano-oil displacement agent was 0.05% and the concentration of the polymer was 0.2%.
[0249] Viscosity was measured using an MCR302 rheometer at a test temperature of 70℃ and a shear rate of 7.34 s⁻¹. -1 The test results are shown in Table 3. As can be seen from Table 3, the addition of 0.05% carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent can significantly improve the polymer's resistance to calcium.

[0255] The oil displacement test procedure is as follows:
[0256] (1) The artificial core with a gas permeability of 2000 mD was dried to constant weight, the core was saturated with water, and its pore volume was measured. The core was saturated with Gudong dehydrated crude oil, and the volume of saturated crude oil was recorded.
[0257] (2) At 70℃, water flooding was carried out at an injection rate of 0.23 mL / min until the water content of the produced fluid reached 95%. Then, 0.3 PV of the oil displacement system was injected, and water flooding was carried out again until the water content of the produced fluid reached 100%. The percentage increase in oil recovery based on water flooding was calculated. The experimental results are shown in Table 4. As can be seen from Table 4, the compound system formed by the carboxyl-modified nano-oil displacement agent prepared in Example 5 with polymer and petroleum sulfonate can increase the oil recovery by 23.8%, which is significantly better than single polymer flooding (12.7%) and polymer-surfactant binary composite flooding (16.4%).
