Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field development technology, specifically a method for testing and determining the shell breaking and onset time of targeted thickening polymers. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical flooding is the main focus of my country's tertiary oil recovery efforts. Among them, polymer flooding, with its relatively simple technology and low cost, is an important method for significantly improving oil recovery in ultra-high water-cut oilfields. The principle of polymer flooding is to add high molecular weight partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide to the injected water, increasing the viscosity of the displaced phase, reducing the oil-water mobility ratio, and expanding the swept volume of the oil reservoir, thereby achieving the goal of improving crude oil recovery.

[0003] Currently, the polymers used in field applications are mainly linear polymeric hydrolyzed polyacrylamide. During surface preparation, the polymer needs to be completely dissolved before being injected into the formation. Therefore, the following problems still exist in field applications:

[0004] (1) Conventional dry powder partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide takes more than 2 hours to dissolve and mature, requiring corresponding dispersion, dissolution and maturation equipment, resulting in a long dispensing process, large floor space and high ground investment.

[0005] (2) The dissolved polymer has a high molecular weight. During the injection process, after being sheared at high speed through the injection pipeline and the borehole, the polymer molecular chain is cut off, the molecular aggregation morphology changes, and the viscosity is lost by 40-50%, which leads to waste of reagents and affects the chemical flooding effect.

[0006] (3) Currently, most chemical flooding involves the injection of produced water, which contains reducing Fe. 2+ S 2- It reacts with oxygen to form free radicals, which leads to polymer chain scission and a significant decrease in viscosity.

[0007] Microencapsulation technology offers advantages such as core material protection, controlled release, and ease of storage, leading to its widespread application in industries like medicine, textiles, and coatings. In petroleum engineering, it primarily relates to tubing corrosion resistance and fracturing fluid technology. However, its application in enhancing oil recovery in oilfields remains relatively unexplored. Based on this technology, we propose the concept of targeted viscosity-enhancing polymers: conventional polymers are encapsulated within physicochemically inert microcapsules to form nano-suspension emulsions. These emulsions are then directly injected into the formation after mixing, eliminating the need for surface curing and improving injection efficiency. During perforation, the internal polymer viscosity remains unaffected due to the protective shell. Once in the formation, the encapsulated polymer is slowly released under the high-temperature environment of the reservoir, achieving targeted release into the target layer. This technology requires the polymer to be stable during storage and capable of rapid release under formation conditions, thus ensuring the controllability of the targeted viscosity-enhancing polymer. Therefore, researching the release time of targeted viscosity-enhancing polymers is crucial for targeted polymer design optimization, product performance testing, and in-situ oil displacement effects.

[0008] The literature "Research Progress on the Application of Polyurethane Microcapsules" covers the preparation method, raw materials, and application research progress of polyurethane (PU) microcapsules. It reviews the application effects of commonly used monomers and different emulsifiers, focusing on the characteristics of single-shell and multi-shell microcapsules and their development prospects in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and materials. However, this article does not cover the testing methods for microcapsule rupture time.

[0009] Patent CN114316919A discloses a polymer / graphene oxide composite microcapsule for encapsulating phase change energy storage materials and its preparation method. The prepared microcapsules encapsulate phase change materials; the inner shell is a polymer, and the outer shell is a modified graphene oxide particle layer. This double-shell structure significantly enhances the barrier properties and thermal stability of the microcapsules, making it a potential candidate material for encapsulating gas-sensitive or moisture-sensitive substances, especially volatile substances requiring long-term storage. The paper mainly describes the raw materials and preparation stages, without covering the subsequent microcapsule breaking process.

[0010] The master's thesis, "Preparation and Performance Study of Green Targeted Microcapsule Oil Enhancement System," involves microcapsule encapsulation of surfactants. It investigates the effects of wall material structure and core / wall material mass ratio on microcapsule size distribution, characterizes the microcapsule structure, and examines the targeted controlled release characteristics of polymers in the oil phase, providing a new technology for enhancing oil recovery in conventional reservoirs and high-temperature, high-salinity reservoirs. However, the thesis does not cover methods for testing microcapsule rupture time.

[0011] Based on the above research, the focus of microcapsule polymer research is mainly on materials, preparation, and application effects. Currently, there is no corresponding testing method to determine the release and onset time of targeted thickening polymers. Summary of the Invention
