Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to an in-situ thermally activated iron tailings-based all-solid waste oil well cement and its preparation and construction methods. Background Technology

[0002] Cementing is a crucial step in oil drilling engineering. Its core function is to inject cement slurry to form a dense, high-strength, high-temperature-resistant cement paste between the wellbore and casing, thereby stabilizing the wellbore and isolating oil and gas. Currently, the widely used industrial oil well cement primarily uses silicate cement clinker as its raw material. However, its production process requires calcination at temperatures above 1450℃, resulting in extremely high energy consumption and significant carbon dioxide emissions.

[0003] Iron tailings are industrial solid waste generated during iron ore mining and beneficiation, with global annual emissions exceeding hundreds of millions of tons and low comprehensive utilization rates. Existing technologies have attempted to use iron tailings in the preparation of building materials, but most require high-temperature calcination pretreatment, resulting in high energy consumption and costs. While alkali activation technology can utilize iron tailings at room temperature, it presents the following technical problems: First, high alkalinity can severely corrode oil well casing, shortening the service life of oil and gas wells, and may also trigger alkali-aggregate reactions, leading to cement stone cracking and reduced strength; second, alkali activators are highly corrosive and hygroscopic, posing safety hazards during storage, transportation, and on-site use; third, in high-temperature oil well environments, the gelling products formed by alkali activation are easily decomposed, leading to strength reduction and failing to meet the cementing requirements of thermal recovery wells.

[0004] Therefore, developing an oil well cement that requires no high-temperature pretreatment, is free from alkali corrosion, is composed entirely of solid waste, and is suitable for a wide temperature range of oil wells is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0047] Y2. Preparation of dry powder: Add all raw materials into a horizontal dry mixing equipment and stir at 150-200 r / min for 15-20 min to obtain dry powder;

[0048] Y3. Packaging: The dry powder is packaged in a moisture-proof and sealed container to obtain the finished oil well cement product.

[0049] A method for cementing in-situ thermally activated iron tailings-based fully solidified waste oil wells includes the following steps:

[0050] N1. Select low-temperature, medium-temperature, or high-temperature oil well cement according to the downhole temperature of the oil well;

[0051] N2. Mix the oil well cement with water at a water-to-solid ratio of 0.45 and stir for 2-5 minutes to obtain cement slurry;

[0052] N3. The cement slurry is pumped into the annulus of the oil well. Relying on the high temperature environment of 80-350℃ downhole, the in-situ thermal activation and hydration reaction are completed to form cement stone.

[0053] The core mechanism of this invention is the combined effect of "low-temperature pre-activation, high-temperature in-situ thermal activation downhole, composite chemical activation of pure salt-crystal nuclei-trace non-alkali activator (masterbatch premix), and synergistic effect of raw material stabilization," as detailed below:

[0054] 1. Low-temperature pre-activation and in-situ high-temperature thermal activation mechanism in oil wells: The continuous high-temperature environment of 80-350℃ in oil wells is equivalent to a "mobile activation furnace," which can generate thermal vibration on the primary iron tailings, destroying the stable Si-O and Al-O covalent bonds inside, causing the crystal structure of the iron tailings to transform into a metastable state, undergoing a depolymerization reaction, and releasing active SiO2 and Al2O3, providing sufficient active components for the gelation reaction; combined with low-temperature drying pre-activation (30 min at 150℃), the dependence on the high temperature in the well is reduced, and the activation can be guaranteed even if the well temperature fluctuates. The high temperature accelerates the ion dissociation and diffusion rate of the salt activator, significantly increasing the activation reaction rate and compensating for the insufficient activation intensity of pure salt activation at room temperature. Combined with mechanochemical-microwave-assisted activation pretreatment, the intrinsic activity of iron tailings is further enhanced, and normal hydration can be achieved at a minimum temperature of 80℃. For different temperature ranges, the activation efficiency and hydration rate are precisely matched by pre-formed dry powder, the addition of low-temperature early strength agent, and the combination of zircon sand micro powder and silica fume compound high-temperature stabilizer, avoiding insufficient activation at low temperatures and strength reduction at high temperatures, and ensuring long-term high-temperature performance.

[0055] 2. Pure salt-crystal nucleus-trace non-alkali activator (masterbatch premix) composite activation mechanism: SO4 dissociated from sulfate activators (desulfurized gypsum, anhydrous sodium sulfate) 2- The Ca released from granulated blast furnace slag powder and steel slag powder in the system 2+ Al 3+ The reaction produces high-temperature stable hydrated calcium sulfoaluminate (AFt / AFm), a mineral phase that can fill the pores of cement stone, improving its strength and density; the CO3 released from the carbonate activator (sodium carbonate) 2- On the one hand, it can regulate the hydration rate of the system, preventing the cement paste from setting too early due to excessively rapid hydration reaction; on the other hand, it can react with Ca... 2+The reaction produces calcium carbonate, further optimizing the microstructure of the cement stone and improving its high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. A composite dispersible nanocrystalline nucleating agent (hydrophobically modified nano-SiO2, Al2O3, talc) provides the hydration reaction nuclei at room temperature, activating the hydration process, preventing dry powder agglomeration, exhibiting low moisture absorption and strong stability, reducing dependence on downhole high temperatures, and solving the problem of room-temperature inertia caused by pure salt activation. A trace amount of non-alkali activator (fluorosilicate / phosphate) is formulated into a 10% concentration solid masterbatch, with no industrial measurement error, further improving room-temperature activation efficiency without altering the near-neutral / weakly alkaline properties of the system (pH 9.5±0.3), eliminating the risk of alkali corrosion and alkali-aggregate reaction. By optimizing the dosage ratio of activator, nucleating agent, and trace non-alkali activator, the problems of insufficient pure salt activation efficiency and room-temperature inertia are solved, while simultaneously controlling SO4 levels. 2- To control the content and avoid the risk of sulfate erosion and expansion.

[0056] 3. Raw Material Stabilization Synergistic Mechanism: By using permanent magnet drums and high-frequency vibrating screens for combined iron removal, low-temperature drying pre-activation, mechanochemical-microwave assisted activation, and continuous homogenization chamber closed-loop homogenization treatment for iron tailings, the intrinsic activity of iron tailings is improved, and the problems of large fluctuations in composition and interference of iron oxides with hydration are solved, making it suitable for industrial batch production. By using steel slag grinding, aging, and composite stabilizer maturation treatment (industrial-grade lime and gypsum compound) for steel slag, the potential for later expansion is completely eliminated, the treatment cycle is shortened, no CO2 gas source is required, and industrial feasibility is improved. Granulated blast furnace slag powder, desulfurization gypsum and other solid wastes are graded, ground and homogenized, and their properties are matched with iron tailings powder to ensure uniform mixing and stable performance of each raw material. At the same time, general-purpose grinding equipment is used to reduce grinding energy consumption. The above-mentioned raw material processing methods, together with the in-situ thermal activation and composite activation system, work synergistically to enable the entire solid waste system to rapidly and stably hydrate and harden, forming cement stone that meets the requirements of oil well cementing. This eliminates the need for cement clinker and alkali activators, achieving the goal of low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and low-cost cementing.

[0057] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0058] Alkali-free design: Completely eliminates alkali activators, thoroughly solving the problems of casing corrosion, safety hazards and high-temperature strength reduction caused by alkali activation. It is environmentally friendly and suitable for on-site construction requirements in oil fields.

[0059] In-situ thermal activation: Iron tailings do not undergo any high-temperature calcination pretreatment. Instead, they are thermally activated and depolymerized in situ using the high-temperature environment of the oil well, replacing the traditional high-temperature pretreatment in factories and significantly reducing energy consumption and production costs.

[0060] Solid waste resource utilization: Using raw iron tailings as the main raw material, combined with granulated blast furnace slag powder, steel slag powder, desulfurization gypsum and other industrial solid wastes, without any silicate cement clinker, to achieve 100% resource utilization of industrial solid waste, which is low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

[0061] Wide temperature range adaptability: By adjusting the functional additives in the formula (low-temperature early strength agent or high-temperature stabilizer), it can be adapted to three well temperature conditions of 80-120℃, 120-300℃, and 300-350℃ respectively, avoiding the problems of slow solidification at low temperature and strength shrinkage at high temperature, and meeting the cementing needs of different oil wells.
