Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas field drilling technology, specifically to a polymer with an interpenetrating network structure, its preparation method, and its application in drilling fluids and / or completion fluids. Background Technology
[0002] Drilling fluids and completion fluids are the circulating media that come into direct contact with the wellbore during drilling operations, and they are crucial technologies for ensuring a well can be drilled successfully, efficiently, and quickly. Polymer-based treatment agents are the core technology of drilling and completion fluids, playing a vital role in reducing filtration loss, optimizing lubrication, and enhancing suspension. However, in the drilling and development of new geological resources, unknown and unusual formations are often encountered, posing multiple challenges to polymer materials used in drilling and completion fluids, including those related to temperature and salinity. Facing the demands of new energy development, there is an urgent need to optimize and innovate polymer materials for drilling and completion fluids.
[0003] Conventional drilling and completion fluid polymers are primarily multi-component copolymers based on acrylamide and acrylic acid. By introducing cationic, anionic, or other monomers during synthesis, the polymer acquires its main functions in drilling and completion fluids. Furthermore, the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions between chemical groups within the polymer enhance its temperature and salt resistance. However, conventional polymer molecules have a one-dimensional linear structure, which suffers from poor rigidity and strength. Due to this structural weakness, polymer molecules are prone to decomposition under high formation temperatures and to shrink and fail in high-salt drilling fluids or when exposed to highly saline formation water. Therefore, improving the performance of polymers for drilling and completion fluids requires not only selecting temperature- and salt-resistant reactive monomers but also optimizing the polymer molecular structure. In recent years, by adjusting the synthesis method and increasing the molecular weight, novel polymers for drilling and completion fluids with comb-like, star-shaped, branched, and hyperbranched molecular structures have emerged. The novel molecular structure, based on the original one-dimensional linear molecular morphology, increases the molecular volume of the side chains to form a three-dimensional network structure, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the molecular chains. This effectively protects the weaker chemical bonds such as ester bonds, amide bonds, and ether bonds that are easily hydrolyzed, thus enhancing the temperature and salt resistance properties of polymers used in drilling and completion fluids. For example, conventional linear drilling fluid polymer flow modifiers have a temperature resistance of only 120℃, while those optimized to a comb-shaped molecular structure can withstand temperatures up to 180℃. However, although the performance of the polymer systems for drilling and completion fluids developed using the above-mentioned optimized molecular structure method has improved, there is still a gap compared to the high-temperature conditions (often exceeding 200℃) and near-saturated saline conditions encountered in new geological resource drilling. Therefore, it is particularly important to further innovate and optimize the molecular structure of polymers for drilling and completion fluids to break through the current limits of polymer temperature and salt resistance.
[0004] Further optimization of the polymer molecular structure for drilling and completion fluids hinges on effectively controlling the thermal motion of molecular chains in solvents under high-temperature and high-salt conditions to maintain relative stability. However, high temperatures in aqueous environments cause molecular chains to primarily expand outwards, while high salinity causes them to primarily contract inwards. These two completely opposite effects cause irreversible damage to the polymer molecular structure, thus determining the performance limits of single-molecule polymer systems. Furthermore, drilling and completion operations often involve mechanical agitation, high-speed shearing of drill bit water jets, and multiple cycles of drilling fluid circulation, resulting in significant temperature differences between the surface and the wellbore. This places even higher demands on the stability of polymer molecular structures used in drilling and completion fluids. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a second or more structures based on a single polymer molecular structure, forming a complex morphology of multiple interpenetrating and interlocking molecular chains. This leverages the performance advantages of different molecular chains under conditions such as temperature and salinity to synergistically improve the polymer's thermal motion stability in solvents. However, current research reports on polymer systems with multiple interpenetrating molecular structures suitable for drilling and completion fluids are lacking, making it difficult to provide effective reference and guidance.

[0112] Example 1 The polymer backbone of Preparation Example 1 was used as the raw material; Disperse 10.0 g of polymer backbone and 0.8 g of sodium dodecyl sulfate in 80 mL of deionized water, maintaining the temperature at 20-25℃ and stirring at 50 rpm. After uniform dispersion, add the mixture to a three-necked glass flask equipped with a stirrer, nitrogen purging tube, and thermometer, and increase the stirring speed to 100 rpm. 2.0 g butyl methacrylate, 2.0 g hexyl methacrylate, 3.0 g lauryl methacrylate, 1.0 g 3,4,5-tris(n-hexanemethoxy)styrene, 1.0 g 3,4,5-tris(n-octanemethoxy)styrene, 1.0 g 3,4,5-tris(dodecanemethoxy)styrene, 1.0 g ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and 1.0 g divinylbenzene were sequentially added to a three-necked glass flask.

Figure 7 As shown, regions 1 and 2, which are intertwined, were selected in the scanning electron microscope field of view. Figure 8 , Figure 9 Raman spectral scans were performed on regions 1 and 2 respectively. The figure shows that the Raman spectrum of region 1 is in the range of 3163-3583 cm⁻¹. -1 The presence of strong peaks within this range indicates the presence of numerous polar groups in the polymer of region 1, suggesting that the polymer in region 1 primarily has a network polymer backbone; the Raman spectrum of region 2 is between 3163 and 3583 cm⁻¹. -1 The absence of obvious absorption peaks within the range indicates that the polymer in region 2 is essentially devoid of polar groups, instead consisting mainly of long hydrocarbon chains and nonpolar groups. This suggests that the polymer in region 2 is primarily another type of polymer. This further confirms that the obtained polymer is in the form of multiple interwoven and entangled molecular chains.
[0115] Hydration kinetics and particle size distribution of the obtained polymer in water / salt solutions at room temperature / high temperature: (1) The hydration kinetics particle size distribution of the obtained polymer in deionized water at room temperature is shown in the figure below. Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution range is 170.2–310.9 μm in room temperature and deionized water, with an average particle size of 227.3 μm, indicating that it can be effectively dispersed in room temperature and deionized water. (2) The hydration kinetics particle size distribution of the obtained polymer in deionized water at 200℃ is shown in the figure below. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, at 200℃ and in deionized water, its hydration kinetic particle size distribution ranges from 123.1 to 398.6 μm, with an average particle size of 232.9 μm, indicating that it can be effectively dispersed in deionized water at 200℃. (3) The obtained polymer is tested at 200℃ with a mineralization of 300,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ The hydration kinetics particle size distribution diagram of the brine (containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions) is shown in the figure below. Figure 12 As shown in the figure, at 200℃ and a mineralization of 300,000 mg / L (including Ca), 2+ Mg 2+ In a solution containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution ranged from 160.8 to 281.3 μm, with an average particle size of 213.6 μm, indicating that it can be absorbed at 200℃ and a mineralization of 300,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ The content of divalent ions (e.g., 50000 mg / L) is effectively dispersed in saline solution; Therefore, the dispersion state of the obtained polymer in high temperature and high salt is similar to that in room temperature and deionized water. Its tendency to spread outward when heated and shrink inward when exposed to salt is not obvious, and it has significant advantages in temperature and salt resistance.
[0116] By comparing the TSI stability index of the polymer obtained in this invention with that of commercially available drilling fluid polymer treatment agents SO-1 (Shandong Deshunyuan Company) and Redu200 (Beijing Peikang Company) in high-temperature water / salt water, the dispersion stability of the obtained polymer in high-temperature and high-salt environments was further evaluated. The results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown in the figure, firstly, at 200°C in deionized water, the TSI value of the polymer of the present invention remained stable and the curve remained horizontal for a test time exceeding 10,000 min. The TSI value was 2.12 at 10,800 min, indicating that the polymer maintained good dispersion stability in 200°C and deionized water. Secondly, at 200°C in 100,000 mg / L (containing Ca...)... 2+ Mg 2+The concentration of divalent ions was 16,000 mg / L, and the concentration was 200,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ The concentration of divalent ions was 33,000 mg / L, and the concentration was 300,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ In a saline solution containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions, the TSI stability index of the polymer obtained in this invention slowly increased over time. This indicates that under high temperature and high salinity, the stability of the polymer obtained in this invention is slightly lower than that in deionized water at 200°C. Simultaneously, the TSI value of the polymer obtained in this invention also increases with increasing mineralization. Specifically, at 10800 min, the polymer obtained in this invention showed a higher TSI value at 200°C and 100,000 mg / L (containing Ca2+, Mg ... 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in the brine (containing 16000 mg / L of divalent ions) is 3.64 at 200℃ and 200000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in the brine (containing 33,000 mg / L of divalent ions) was 8.51 at 200℃ and 300,000 mg / L (including Ca2+). 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in the brine (containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions) was 13.82; this indicates that the mineralization degree had an adverse effect on the dispersion stability of the polymer obtained in this invention, especially Ca. 2+ / Mg 2+ The presence of divalent ions can cause excessive shrinkage of the polymer, leading to loss of dispersibility and sedimentation; third, comparative analysis revealed that the polymer obtained in this invention exhibits better performance at concentrations of 300,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+ The dispersion stability of the polymer obtained in this invention in brine (containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions) is significantly better than that of commercially available drilling fluid polymer treatment agents SO-1 (Shandong Deshunyuan Company) and Redu200 (Beijing Peikang Company). This indicates that the polymer obtained in this invention has good dispersion stability in high-temperature water / salt water and has outstanding performance advantages in temperature and salt resistance.

After uniform dispersion, the mixture was added to a three-necked glass flask equipped with a stirrer, a nitrogen purging tube, and a thermometer, and the stirring speed was increased to 100 rpm. 1.0 g butyl methacrylate, 1.0 g hexyl methacrylate, 1.5 g lauryl methacrylate, 0.5 g 3,4,5-tris(n-hexanemethoxy)styrene, 0.5 g 3,4,5-tris(n-octanemethoxy)styrene, 0.5 g 3,4,5-tris(dodecanemethoxy)styrene, 0.5 g ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and 0.26 g divinylbenzene were sequentially added to a three-necked glass flask. Nitrogen gas was introduced for 30 min, the pH was controlled at 10, and the temperature was controlled at 40℃. Then 0.04 g azobisisobutyronitrile was added, the stirring speed was set to 600 rpm, and the reaction was carried out for 5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the product was filtered and washed with anhydrous ethanol, dried, and pulverized.
[0119] The scanning electron microscope image of the obtained polymer is similar to that in Example 1, showing an approximately spherical morphology with multiple interwoven and entangled molecular chains, and a rough and dense surface. Testing revealed that the average particle size of the obtained polymer in its dry state was approximately 281.5 μm, and the number-average molecular weight was 52,100–93,100.
[0120] The scanning electron microscopy-Raman spectroscopy characterization results of the obtained polymer were similar to those in Example 1, which once again proved that the obtained polymer was a morphology of multiple molecular chains intertwined and entangled.
[0121] The hydration kinetics particle size distribution of the obtained polymer in water / salt solutions at room temperature / high temperature is similar to that in Example 1, wherein: (1) In room temperature and deionized water, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution of the obtained polymer ranged from 159.6 to 331.2 μm, with an average particle size of 242.3 μm, indicating that it can be effectively dispersed in room temperature and deionized water; (2) At 200℃ in deionized water, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution of the obtained polymer ranged from 110.8 to 421.5 μm, with an average particle size of 256.4 μm, indicating that it can be effectively dispersed in deionized water at 200℃. (3) At 200℃, the mineralization is 300,000 mg / L (including Ca). 2+ Mg 2+In a brine solution containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution of the obtained polymer ranged from 149.7 to 361.2 μm, with an average particle size of 249.6 μm. This indicates that it can be synthesized at 200℃ and a salinity of 300,000 mg / L (including Ca2+). 2+ Mg 2+ The content of divalent ions (e.g., 50000 mg / L) is effectively dispersed in saline solution; Therefore, the dispersion state of the obtained polymer in high temperature and high salt is similar to that in room temperature and deionized water. Its tendency to spread outward when heated and shrink inward when exposed to salt is not obvious, and it has significant advantages in temperature and salt resistance.
[0122] The TSI stability index of the obtained polymer in high-temperature water / salt water shows a similar trend to that in Example 1, wherein: The obtained polymer had a TSI value of 2.06 in deionized water at 200°C and 100,000 mg / L (containing Ca) at 200°C and 10800 min. 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in the brine (containing 16000 mg / L of divalent ions) is 3.71. At 200℃ and 200000 mg / L (including Ca2+), the TSI stability index is [missing value]. 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in the brine (containing 33,000 mg / L of divalent ions) was 8.43 at 200℃ and 300,000 mg / L (including Ca2+). 2+ Mg 2+ The TSI stability index in brine (containing 50,000 mg / L of divalent ions) was 14.21; this indicates that the polymer obtained in this invention has good dispersion stability in high-temperature water / salt water and has outstanding performance advantages in temperature and salt resistance.

[0165] The hydration kinetics particle size distribution of the obtained polymer in water / salt solutions at room temperature / high temperature is similar to that in Example 1, wherein: (1) In room temperature and deionized water, the hydration kinetic particle size distribution of the obtained polymer ranged from 93.6 to 238.4 μm, with an average particle size of 166.3 μm, indicating that it could be effectively dispersed in room temperature and deionized water; compared with Example 1, its dispersion degree increased.

[0169] The resulting polymer cannot be dispersed in deionized water and floats on the surface of the water, such as Figure 15 As shown, it is speculated that this is because the polymer skeleton of Preparation Example 4 does not have a network structure. During polymerization, the monomer cannot enter the interior of the polymer skeleton and can only undergo polymerization on the surface of the polymer skeleton to form a coating structure. Furthermore, due to the hydrophobicity of the monomer, the resulting polymer cannot be dispersed in water and floats on the surface of the water.
