Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heavy oil reservoir development technology, specifically relating to a phase permeation regulating and water control agent for heavy oil reservoirs and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal wells are currently the primary development method for heavy oil reservoirs. However, once a water cone forms in a horizontal well, due to the high viscosity ratio of oil to water and the good fluidity of the water phase compared to the poor fluidity of heavy oil, a pressure funnel will form at the water outlet, reducing the driving pressure differential of the oil phase and resulting in high water cut, which is difficult to manage. In recent years, many new products and technologies have emerged for water shut-off in heavy oil horizontal wells, such as organic chromium gels, phenolic resin gels, water glass, and solid particulate plugging agents. While these technologies have shown some effectiveness, they also have limitations, mainly including the following:

[0003] (1) The plugging agent has a variety of components, which can easily form chromatographic separation in the formation. The formation gelation rate is low, and some plugging agents have strict requirements for gelation temperature, resulting in poor water plugging effect.

[0004] (2) Poor selectivity: after the plugging agent enters the oil layer, there are residues in the oil layer. The driving pressure difference of heavy oil is already high. These damages will further increase the driving pressure difference of heavy oil, resulting in a significant decrease in production capacity.

[0005] (3) The amount and strength of the plugging agent also affect the water shut-off effect. If the plugging agent strength is too high, it cannot penetrate into the deep formation, resulting in a significant reduction in permeability in the near-wellbore zone. If the plugging agent strength is too low, it cannot effectively seal the water outlet.

[0006] Invention patent CN202211298479.2 discloses an oilfield relative permeability regulator and its preparation method. The invention consists of surfactant, synergist, emulsifier and solvent. The synergist is cellulose obtained by acid hydrolysis of straw. It does not have oil-soluble properties. After entering the oil layer, it is easy to block the oil layer. It does not have selective blocking properties and will cause permanent damage to the reservoir permeability.

[0007] CN202311168958.7 discloses an amphiphilic carbon dot phase permeability modifier for water-controlled fracturing in high-temperature, high-salinity gas reservoirs. The phase permeability modifier is a mixture of component A and brine, with component A having a concentration of 0.08–0.6 g / L. Component A is an amphiphilic carbon dot, or a mixture of amphiphilic carbon dot and surfactant in any proportion. The amphiphilic carbon dot is prepared by a hydrothermal method using guar gum, oxidizing acid, and alkylamine as raw materials. The amphiphilic carbon dot of this invention has a small size (1-10 nm) and exhibits good surface activity and wetting properties even in high-temperature and high-salinity environments. It can adjust hydrophobic surfaces to a hydrophilic state, reducing aqueous phase permeability and achieving water-controlled fracturing and increased production in tight gas reservoirs. The main function of this phase permeability modifier is to increase the aqueous phase permeability of tight oil layers; it cannot be used for water control in heavy oil reservoirs.

[0008] CN102732242A discloses an acidification pretreatment solution with percolation regulation function. The reactants and their contents (by mass parts): acrylic acid 5-15 parts; acrylate 2-8 parts; acrylamide 1-8 parts; coupling agent KH570 2-5 parts; deionized water balance. The preparation process is as follows: a) Add the monomers acrylic acid, acrylate, acrylamide, coupling agent KH570, and deionized water sequentially to a reactor and stir until homogeneous; b) Heat to 90℃ and maintain the temperature for 2 hours; c) Purge with nitrogen and stir for 30 minutes to remove oxygen from the solution; d) Add 0.2%-0.8% (by mass) of a solid initiator and initiate the polymerization reaction under normal pressure for 7-9 hours to obtain the target product with a molecular weight of 6.5-7 million. It is mainly used for acidification and water control.

[0009] CN102002348A discloses a phase permeability regulator, the components and proportions of which are: 5-15 parts by weight of acrylic acid, 2-8 parts by weight of propylene, 1-8 parts by weight of sulfonated propylene, and the balance being deionized water. It is mainly used for sand control and water management.

[0010] Based on the above, there is still a need for selective phase permeability regulating and water control agents that can be effectively used in heavy oil reservoirs and have good plugging effects. Summary of the Invention

[0011] To address the aforementioned problems, the main objective of this invention is to provide a water-controlling and production-enhancing agent for heavy oil reservoirs and its preparation method. The water-controlling and production-enhancing agent for heavy oil reservoirs prepared by this invention can alter reservoir wettability to a strongly oleophilic state, establish a water-phase pressure differential near the wellbore, and block water-producing points, thereby reducing the water cut of the oil well. Furthermore, it can reduce crude oil viscosity, improve crude oil flowability, and increase crude oil production, thus achieving the goal of reducing water and increasing oil production, providing a new technical means for the efficient development of heavy oil reservoirs.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a phase permeation regulating and water control agent for heavy oil reservoirs, comprising a polymer of formula I:

[0014]

[0015] Wherein, R1 is an alkyl group with 10-18 carbon atoms, R2 is a methyl group or H, and a, b, c are the degrees of polymerization.

[0016] The polymer shown in Formula I of this invention can effectively prevent the re-accumulation of macromolecular substances in heavy oil to form gums and asphaltenes, and has a good viscosity-reducing effect.

[0017] Furthermore, the heavy oil reservoir phase permeation regulating and water control production enhancer is composed of the following raw materials by weight: 30-60 parts of the polymer shown in Formula I, 30-60 parts of organic solvent, and 3-15 parts of nanomaterials.

[0018] Furthermore, the organic solvent is one or more of 200# solvent oil, C9 aromatic hydrocarbons, D80 solvent oil, and D100 solvent oil.

[0019] Furthermore, the organic solvent is a mixture of D80 solvent oil and D100 solvent oil.

[0020] Furthermore, the volume ratio of D80 solvent oil to D100 solvent oil is 1-3:1-2.

[0021] The organic solvent used in this invention has a high flash point, is non-flammable and non-explosive, effectively ensuring the safety of on-site construction. Furthermore, the organic solvent described in this invention can disperse the asphaltenes in heavy oil into smaller molecules, reducing the viscosity of the heavy oil.

[0022] Furthermore, the nanomaterial is one or more of nano-silica, nano-titanium dioxide, nano-molybdenum disulfide, and nano-zinc sulfide.

[0023] The nanomaterials in the heavy oil reservoir water control and production enhancement agent of this invention can form an adsorption film on the reservoir surface in combination with other components, which improves the reservoir wettability by being strongly oleophilic, increases the water pressure difference, and increases the water pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing water cut.

[0024] Further, the polymer shown in Formula I is prepared by the following method: by weight, 50-70 parts of D80 solvent oil, 8-20 parts of alkyl acrylate or its derivative, 5-15 parts of divinylbenzene, 5-20 parts of vinyl acetate, and 0.1-0.2 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0025] Add alkyl acrylate or its derivative, divinylbenzene and vinyl acetate sequentially to D80 solvent oil, heat to 50℃~80℃, stir until completely dissolved, add azobisisobutyronitrile in an inert gas environment, react for 4~10h, and then separate and purify to obtain the product.

[0026] Further, the alkyl acrylate is one or more of tetradecyl acrylate, hexadecyl acrylate, octadecyl acrylate, tetradecyl methacrylate, hexadecyl methacrylate, and octadecyl methacrylate.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a water-controlling and production-enhancing agent for heavy oil reservoirs, comprising the following steps:

[0028] (1) Weigh out 50-70 parts of D80 solvent oil, 8-20 parts of alkyl acrylate or its derivatives, 5-15 parts of divinylbenzene, 5-20 parts of vinyl acetate, and 0.1-0.2 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile by weight.

[0029] Alkyl acrylate or its derivatives, divinylbenzene, and vinyl acetate were added sequentially to D80 solvent oil. The mixture was heated to 50°C–80°C and stirred until completely dissolved. Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was then added under an inert gas atmosphere, and the reaction was carried out for 4–10 hours. After separation and purification, the polymer shown in Formula I was obtained.

[0030]

[0031] Wherein, R1 is an alkyl group having 10-18 carbon atoms, and R2 is a methyl group or H;

[0032] (2) Weigh 30-60 parts of the polymer shown in Formula I, 30-60 parts of the organic solvent, and 3-15 parts of the nanomaterials by weight.

[0033] Add an organic solvent to the reactor, heat to 50℃~80℃, start stirring, control the speed to 500r~2000r / min, add the polymer shown in Formula I, stir until the polymer is completely dissolved, add nanomaterials, and continue stirring for 1~3h to obtain the product.

[0034] Furthermore, the organic solvent is one or more selected from 200# solvent oil, C9 aromatic hydrocarbons, D80 solvent oil, and D100 solvent oil;

[0035] More preferably, the nanomaterial is one or more of nano-silica, nano-titanium dioxide, nano-molybdenum disulfide, and nano-zinc sulfide.

[0036] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a relative permeability regulating and water-controlling agent for heavy oil reservoirs as described in the first aspect above, and the application of the relative permeability regulating and water-controlling agent prepared by the method described in the second aspect above in increasing production in heavy oil reservoirs.

[0037] Furthermore, the heavy oil reservoir is simultaneously treated with a relative permeability regulating and water-controlling production-enhancing agent and nitrogen gas during heavy oil reservoir displacement.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0039] 1. The phase permeability regulating and water control production enhancer for heavy oil reservoirs described in this invention has a low initial viscosity and good injectability. After entering the formation, due to its low viscosity, it preferentially enters the water outlet point, exhibiting good selectivity. It also adjusts the reservoir wettability to oil wettability, forcibly converting the water phase channel into the oil phase channel, thereby increasing the water outlet pressure difference and making it difficult to extract water under formation pressure.

[0040] 2. The phase permeability regulating and water control agent for heavy oil reservoirs described in this invention also has a good viscosity reduction effect. After entering the oil layer, it can significantly reduce the viscosity of crude oil, improve the fluidity of crude oil in the reservoir, reduce the oil-water mobility ratio, and significantly increase the production of heavy oil.

[0041] 3. The phase permeability regulating and water-controlling agent for heavy oil reservoirs described in this invention transforms the formation near a limited water outlet point into a strongly oleophilic formation, thereby increasing the water phase outflow pressure difference at the water outlet point. When the pressure difference is established to a certain extent, it becomes the driving pressure difference for the oil phase, thus achieving the effect of reducing water and increasing oil production.

[0042] 4. The water-controlling and production-enhancing agent for heavy oil reservoirs described in this invention has the dual functions of water shut-off and viscosity reduction. It can have a good synergistic effect with nitrogen. By utilizing the water-pressing cone effect of nitrogen, the water-pressing cone near the wellbore is suppressed, allowing the water-controlling and production-enhancing agent to fully contact the formation and crude oil. The combined use of the two can significantly reduce the water cut of heavy oil wells and increase crude oil production. Attached Figure Description

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] The crude oil blank viscosity of Pile 139 was 8039 mPa·s. Commercially available oil-soluble viscosity reducers reduced the viscosity of this oil by 94.6%. The relative permeability regulating and water-controlling production enhancers prepared in Examples 1-8 of this invention reduced the viscosity of this oil by 93.8%–95.7%, which is comparable to that of commercially available oil-soluble viscosity reducers. However, the contact angle of the core treated with the relative permeability regulating and water-controlling production enhancer of this invention was 154.6°–168.3°, while the contact angle of the core treated with the commercially available oil-soluble viscosity reducer was only 117.4°. Therefore, the relative permeability regulating and water-controlling production enhancer of this invention has a stronger wetting and modification ability.

Its oil solubility is above 95%, indicating good oil solubility. It achieves a water layer plugging rate of up to 93.42%, while its oil layer plugging rate is only 19.97%, demonstrating good selectivity and making it suitable for selective water plugging in heavy oil reservoirs.

[0100] (6) Evaluation of the synergistic effect between the phase permeation regulator, water control agent, and N2

The results are shown in Table 3.
