Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of acid fracturing technology for carbonate reservoirs, specifically to a polymer, its preparation method, and a composition for gelling acids. Background Technology
[0002] Thickeners are an important component of fracturing fluids. Compared to water-based fracturing fluids, acid-based fracturing fluids (i.e., acid fluids) have higher performance requirements for thickeners, mainly in terms of temperature resistance in strong acid environments. Depending on reservoir and process requirements, acid-based fracturing fluids are classified into systems such as gelling acid and crosslinking acid. Crosslinking acid thickeners need to be used in conjunction with crosslinking agents to be effective with acid fluids, while gelling acid thickeners can be used directly with acid fluids without the need for crosslinking agents.
[0003] Ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs are old and deeply buried, and generally exhibit high temperature and high pressure characteristics. For example, ultra-deep carbonate rock reservoirs are characterized by ultra-deep (>8000m), high closure pressure (>150MPa), and ultra-high temperature (>180℃), which places higher demands on the temperature resistance of acid solutions. However, existing acid thickeners have the following problems: (1) poor high temperature resistance, viscosity decreases at high temperatures, acid-rock reaction speed is fast, and effective action distance is short; (2) the viscosity of acid solution at high temperatures is often increased by increasing the amount of thickener, but this will result in a high initial viscosity of acid solution (at room temperature), which is not conducive to acid solution preparation and large-volume pumping on site, and increases the difficulty of construction; moreover, a higher initial viscosity will result in high friction and high pressure during the construction of acid fracturing tubing, especially for high-pressure reservoirs, which poses a safety risk. For example, CN114085315A discloses a high-temperature resistant emulsion-type acid thickener and its preparation method, wherein the quaternary polymer monomers in the thickener include acrylamide, methacrylpropyltrimethylammonium chloride, dimethyldiallylammonium chloride, and N. Vinylpyrrolidone. Although this thickener can withstand temperatures up to 220°C, the amount of thickener added to the acid solution is only 2%, resulting in an initial viscosity of 120 mPa·s for the base solution. This is very unfavorable for large-volume pumping of acid solution in on-site construction.
[0004] Therefore, for acid fracturing stimulation of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs, how to reduce the initial viscosity of the acid while taking into account the rheological viscosity at high temperatures (temperature resistance and shear resistance to reduce the acid-rock reaction rate) and improve the efficiency of carbonate reservoir stimulation has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of high initial viscosity (at room temperature) and low rheological viscosity at high temperatures in existing technologies, and to provide a polymer, its preparation method, and a composition for gelling acids. This polymer can act as a thickener for acids without the use of crosslinking agents, giving the acids a lower initial viscosity for easier on-site application; it also exhibits higher rheological viscosity at high temperatures, improving the temperature resistance of the acids.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a polymer comprising structural units shown in Formula A, Formula B, and Formula C, wherein the structural unit shown in Formula B comprises at least one of the structural units shown in Formula B-1, Formula B-2, and Formula B-3; the polymer has a viscosity-average molecular weight of 5-8 million g / mol and a molecular weight distribution of 3-5; the weight ratio of the structural units shown in Formula A, Formula B, and Formula C is 1:1.2-1.8:0.1-0.2. Formula A; Formula B-1; Formula B-2; Formula B-3; Formula C; Among them, R 11 R 12 R 13 R 14 The same or different and each independently selected from H or C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 21 R 22 R 23 The same or different and independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C4 alkenyl, and hydroxylated C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 31 R 32 The same or different and each independently selected from H or C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 41 Selected from C1-C4 alkylene groups or L1 and L2 are the same or different and are each independently selected from -SO3- or -COO-; M1 and M2 are the same or different and are each independently selected from H or alkali metals; X is selected from halogens; m, n and p are each independently selected from 0-3.
[0007] A second aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing a polymer, the method comprising: mixing compound A, compound B, and compound C with water; then, in the presence of an initiator, a complexing agent, a cosolvent, and a molecular weight regulator, causing compound A, compound B, and compound C to undergo a polymerization reaction; and then granulating and drying the product of the polymerization reaction; wherein compound B includes at least one of compound B1, compound B2, and compound B3; the amounts of compounds A, B, and C are such that the weight ratio of structural units of formula A, formula B, and formula C in the obtained polymer is 1:1.2-1.8:0.1-0.2; the initiator includes an oxidizing initiator, a reducing initiator, and an azo initiator; the molecular weight regulator is selected from C4-C15 alkyl thiols; and the cosolvent is selected from urea and / or thiourea. Compound A; Compound B1; Compound B2; Compound B3; Compound C; The definitions of R1, R2, R3, R4, L, M, X, m, n, and p are the same as those described in the first aspect of this invention.
[0008] A third aspect of the present invention provides a polymer prepared by the method described in the second aspect.
[0009] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a gelling acid thickener, the gelling acid thickener comprising the polymers described in the first aspect and / or the third aspect of the present invention.
[0010] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a composition comprising the polymer and additives described in the first aspect and / or the third aspect of the present invention.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects: (1) Compared with existing acrylamide polymers, the polymer of the present invention comprises structural units of formulas A, B, and C in specific weight ratios, and has specific viscosity-average molecular weight and specific molecular weight distribution. When used in gelling acid systems, it exhibits lower initial viscosity and higher temperature resistance (high rheological viscosity at high temperatures). Preferably, the polymer of the present invention can reduce the amount of thickener used, so that the amount of thickener used can meet the requirement of high rheological viscosity (≥20 mPa·s) of acid solution at high temperature (200°C) with a lower amount of thickener.
[0012] (2) The polymer preparation method of the present invention is simple, the raw materials are readily available and of few types, which facilitates industrial production and can reduce the production cost of thickeners. The polymer of the present invention uses compounds A, B, and C in a specific weight ratio, and under the synergistic effect of three initiators—oxidative initiator, reductive initiator, and azo initiator—as well as specific types of cosolvents and molecular weight regulators, a polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution range and a specific viscosity-average molecular weight is prepared. The polymer prepared by this method has a low initial viscosity and high temperature resistance (high rheological viscosity at high temperatures) when used in gelling acid systems.
[0013] (3) Compared with cross-linking acid systems, the gelling acid system of the present invention does not require a cross-linking agent, thus avoiding the problems of difficult debonding and excessive residue caused by the cross-linking reaction, and effectively reducing the damage of acid to the reservoir. The gelling acid system has a low residue content in the debonding liquid after reacting with marble (<170mg / L), which reduces the damage of the liquid to the reservoir.
[0014] (4) In a preferred embodiment, the gelling acid system prepared by the polymer provided by the present invention as a thickener has the characteristics of low initial viscosity (≤55mPa.s) and high rheological viscosity (≥20mPa.s) at high temperature (200℃), which can reduce the reaction rate of acid rock and is beneficial to deep acid fracturing.

For numerical ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
[0017] The present invention provides a polymer comprising structural units shown in Formula A, Formula B, and Formula C, wherein the structural unit shown in Formula B includes at least one of the structural units shown in Formula B-1, Formula B-2, and Formula B-3; the polymer has a viscosity-average molecular weight of 5-8 million g / mol and a molecular weight distribution of 3-5; the weight ratio of the structural units shown in Formula A, Formula B, and Formula C is 1:1.2-1.8:0.1-0.2. Formula A; Formula B-1; Formula B-2; Formula B-3; Formula C; Among them, R 11 R 12 R 13 R 14 The same or different and each independently selected from H or C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 21 R 22 R 23 The same or different and independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C4 alkenyl, and hydroxylated C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 31 R 32 The same or different and each independently selected from H or C1-C4 alkyl groups; R 41 Selected from C1-C4 alkylene groups or L1 and L2 are the same or different and are each independently selected from -SO3- or -COO-; M1 and M2 are the same or different and are each independently selected from H or alkali metals; X is selected from halogens; m, n and p are each independently selected from 0-3.
[0018] While meeting one or two of the polymer's viscosity-average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and weight ratio requirements of this invention may reduce the initial viscosity, it cannot simultaneously meet the rheological viscosity requirements of the acid. Only when the polymer's viscosity-average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and weight ratio all meet the requirements of this invention can a high rheological viscosity be maintained while reducing the initial viscosity. This allows the polymer, when used as an acid thickener, to not only meet the requirements for large-volume pumping at room temperature, reducing construction difficulty, decreasing friction during acid fracturing string construction, reducing construction pressure, and avoiding safety risks associated with high-pressure reservoirs, but also to improve the polymer's temperature resistance, giving the acid a higher high-temperature rheological viscosity, slowing down the acid-rock reaction rate, and increasing the effective action distance.

[0115] Comparative Example 7 The method of Example 1 was followed, except that the weight ratio of acrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride was 1:0.2:0.2 to obtain the polymer.
[0116] Comparative Example 8 A commercially available gelling acid thickener was used instead of the polymer in Example 1.
[0117] Test Example 1 The viscosity-average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, sulfur content, degree of polymer chain aggregation, number of "fish eyes", and dissolution time of the polymers in the above examples and comparative examples were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0118] The molecular weight determination method is the viscosity method, specifically: 20g of a 58.5g / L sodium chloride solution is mixed with 0.1g of the polymer to prepare a dilute solution, and then its intrinsic viscosity [η] is measured at 30℃ using an Ubbelohde viscometer. The intrinsic viscosity is then determined according to the Mark-Houwink empirical formula [η] = K × M. a Calculate its viscosity-average molecular weight, where K represents the Mark-Howwink constant (K = 4.75 × 10⁻⁶). -3 M This represents the viscosity-average molecular weight, and a is the conformation index (a=0.8).
[0119] The molecular weight distribution index (PDI) was determined by gel permeation chromatography. Specifically, the polymer was dissolved in a 0.1 mol / L NaNO3 aqueous solution, filtered, and injected. Separation was performed using a hydrophilic gel chromatography column with 0.1 mol / L NaNO3 solution as the mobile phase (30°C, 0.8 mL / min), and the chromatographic peaks were recorded using a differential refractive index detector. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and number-average molecular weight (Mn) were calculated by combining the narrow distribution standard calibration curve, and the molecular weight distribution index (PDI) was obtained as PDI = Mw / Mn.
[0120] Test method for sulfur content in polymers: The sulfur content is determined using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. First, the powder is compressed into a tablet. After preheating the instrument, the sample is placed on the stage. A voltage of 30-50 kV and a current of 50-100 μA are set, and the measurement time is 30-120 seconds. Three parallel tests are performed, and the average value is taken. RSD ≤ 5%.
[0121] Method for testing the degree of polymer molecular chain aggregation: 0.05g of polymer was mixed with 100mL of saline solution (2wt% sodium chloride aqueous solution) to obtain an aqueous solution. The degree of polymer molecular chain aggregation in the aqueous solution was then tested under an electron microscope. The degree of aggregation was divided into three levels: I, II, and III. Level I indicates that the polymer molecular chain aggregation area is less than 10%, Level II indicates that the polymer molecular chain aggregation area is between 10% and 30%, and Level III indicates that the polymer molecular chain aggregation area is between 30% and 50%. The polymer molecular chain aggregation area was calculated as follows: within any 100μm × 100μm region of the SEM image, the area occupied by polymer molecular chains forming a backbone with a thickness greater than 2μm. The smaller the polymer molecular chain aggregation area, the better the flexibility of the polymer.
[0122] The scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization image of the polymer prepared in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization image of the polymer in Comparative Example 8 is as follows. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The comparison shows that, Figure 3 The polymer exhibits severe molecular chain aggregation in solution; Figure 2 The polymers exhibit minimal molecular chain aggregation in solution, indicating that the polymers of this invention have higher flexibility and flowability.
[0123] The test method for the number of "fish eyes" is as follows: Measure 200 ml of 20% HCl solution into a 500 ml beaker, set the stirring speed to 120 rpm, and uniformly add 1.6 g of polymer within 5 seconds. Stir until the polymer dissolves. After the polymer is completely dissolved, record the dissolution time and count the number of visible "fish eyes". The faster the dissolution and the fewer the number of "fish eyes", the better the polymer's solubility.
[0124] The graph showing the changes in dissolution time and initial viscosity of the polymer in Example 2 in a 20% HCl solution is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, by Figure 4 It can be seen that the initial viscosity of the polymer in Example 2 of the present invention remains basically unchanged after 20 minutes, indicating that the polymer can be dissolved in about 20 minutes. The dissolution time is short, and on-site solution preparation can be completed in a short time. Moreover, the initial viscosity of the polymer after dissolution is low, which is convenient for on-site pumping.

After stirring evenly, the gelling acid system is obtained.

[0132] Initial viscosity test method: At room temperature (25℃), the viscosity of the above gelling acid system at 100 rpm is measured using a six-speed rotational viscometer. This viscosity is denoted as η. 初 .
[0133] The viscosity retention rate test method is as follows: referring to the method in standard Q / SH CG0149-2021 "Technical Requirements for Thickeners for Gelatinous Acids", the high temperature resistance and shear resistance of the gelling acid system are tested using an RS6000 high temperature and high pressure acid rheometer. During the test, the viscosity retention rate is 170s. -1 The shear rate was measured, and continuous shearing at 200℃ for 30 min was performed. The average viscosity for the first 3 min was recorded as viscosity η1, and the average viscosity for the last 3 min was recorded as the final rheological viscosity η2, denoted as η. 流变 The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0134] The viscosity retention rate is calculated as follows: η2 ÷ η1 × 100%.
[0135] The temperature and shear resistance of the gelling acid system prepared by the polymer in Example 1 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the gelled acid system exhibits good temperature and shear resistance, which can meet the requirements of acid fracturing stimulation of high-temperature reservoirs; specifically... Figure 5 The medium curve represents 170s -1 Curves showing the changes in shear rate and rheological viscosity over time at 200℃.
[0136] Figure 6This graph compares the temperature and shear resistance of the gelling acid systems prepared from the polymer of Example 1 (this product) and the polymer of Comparative Example 8 (an existing product). As can be seen from the graph, the rheological viscosity of the polymer in Comparative Example 8 decreases sharply with increasing shear time, falling below 20 mPa·s after 30 minutes of shearing, failing to meet the acid requirements. In contrast, the polymer of Example 1 shows a less significant decrease in rheological viscosity with increasing shear time, and its rheological viscosity remains above 20 mPa·s even after 30 minutes of shearing at 200°C.
[0137] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The gelling acid systems prepared from the polymers of Example 1 and Comparative Example 8, respectively, were heated to 170s. -1 By comparing the shear rate and the state after continuous shearing at 200°C for 50 min, it can be seen that the gelling acid system of Example 1 of the present invention exhibits a uniform liquid state and no micelles after continuous shearing at high temperature; while the gelling acid system of Comparative Example 8 shows polymer hydration and the presence of micelles after continuous shearing at high temperature. Therefore, the polymer of the present invention can effectively slow down the acid salt reaction rate and achieve deep acid fracturing.
[0138] The corrosion rate was determined using a high-temperature, high-pressure dynamic corrosion rate tester. The mass loss of PS110 steel sheets was measured after 4 hours of corrosion in a gelling acid system at 200℃, 60 r / min, and 16 MPa. The mass loss per unit area (m²) was calculated. 2 The corrosion rate is the mass (g) of steel sheet lost per unit time (1h), and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0139] Figure 9 The figure shows the corrosion of steel sheets by the gelling acid system prepared by the polymer in Example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the gelling acid system in Example 1 of the present invention causes less corrosion to the steel sheets, which can effectively slow down the corrosion of the tubing and ensure construction safety.
[0140] Table 2
[0141] Test Example 3 The results of the debonding residue performance tests of the polymers prepared in each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 3.
[0142] The method for determining the residue content of the gelling liquid is as follows: at 90℃, 100g of gelling acid system is reacted with 150g of marble block until the pH value is neutral, then washed with water, centrifuged, dried and the residue content is calculated.
[0143] Figure 10The image shows a photograph of the gelling acid system prepared by the polymer in Example 1 of this invention reacting with marble blocks. As can be seen from the image, the liquid is homogeneous and leaves low residue after gelation. Therefore, the polymer of this invention can effectively reduce the damage of acid to the reservoir and facilitate liquid backflow.
[0144] Table 3
[0145] As can be seen from the results in Tables 2-3, compared with the comparative examples, the acid solutions prepared using the polymers of the embodiments of the present invention as thickeners have the advantages of low initial viscosity and high rheological viscosity at high temperature (200℃).
