Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells, as well as its preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] During shale gas extraction, several factors are involved: first, large amounts of gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are produced, which can severely corrode the production tubing; second, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that proliferate in the formation and later cause bacterial corrosion above 1500 meters in the wellbore; and third, as shale gas wells are developed, the fluid produced from the well corrodes the tubing, leading to scaling and blockage. All three of these factors can cause the tubing to perforate, break, or become blocked, resulting in decreased well production efficiency and increased maintenance costs.
[0003] In existing technologies, shale gas wellbore corrosion prevention involves continuously or frequently injecting liquid corrosion inhibitors to maintain the concentration of the agent in the well at a specific value. However, the diffusion range of the liquid corrosion inhibitor in the wellbore is limited, and it cannot form an effective protection for the entire production tubing. This results in high overall construction costs and poor overall performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells and its preparation method thereon, which overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.
[0005] The solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells provided by this invention are solid particles that can be added through the annulus of the gas well and settle to a set position to protect the oil casing inside the wellbore.
[0006] The solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells provided by this invention can not only pre-film metals in the gas phase environment of the gas well; it can also significantly reduce the source of bacterial corrosion, changing passive isolation to active sterilization; and it can enhance the corrosion inhibition effect, changing passive scale removal to active scale prevention, forming a comprehensive anti-corrosion technology with a higher corrosion inhibition rate covering the entire wellbore.
[0007] As one aspect of the present invention, a solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells is disclosed.

[0013] (1) A cycloalkanoic acid and a polyethylene polyamine are mixed in a molar ratio of 1:1.05 to 1.2, and xylene is added, wherein the amount of xylene added is 10 to 15% of the sum of the mass of the cycloalkanoic acid and the polyethylene polyamine; the mixture is reacted at a temperature gradient of 120 to 165°C, 180 to 190°C and 210 to 235°C to obtain imidazoline; the temperature is lowered to 120 to 135°C, and a NaOH solution is added, wherein the molar ratio of NaOH to the cycloalkanoic acid is 0.5 to 0.8:1; the mixture is stirred, and phytic acid is added, wherein the molar ratio of phytic acid to the cycloalkanoic acid is 0.2 to 1:1; the temperature is raised to 150 to 165°C, and at least one phosphate group in the phytic acid undergoes an esterification reaction with the amino group of the imidazoline to obtain imidazoline phosphate;
[0014] (2) Aniline, formaldehyde and methylpentynol in a molar ratio of 1:(2.0~2.2):(1.8~2.0) are mixed and kept at 90~95℃ for 6~8h; the temperature is lowered to 80~85℃ and benzyl chloride is added dropwise, wherein the molar ratio of benzyl chloride to aniline is 0.9~1.05:1; after the addition is completed, the temperature is raised to 95~100℃ to obtain alkynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt; the alkynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt in a mass ratio of (2.0~2.4):1 is mixed with diecryldimethylammonium chloride to obtain a corrosion inhibitor and bactericide.
[0015] (3) Add sodium alginate to 60-75 parts by weight of water and stir until dissolved; add 10-15 parts by weight of the imidazoline phosphate obtained in step (1), 10-15 parts by weight of the corrosion inhibitor and bactericidal inhibitor obtained in step (2) and 5-10 parts by weight of the synergist, stir until dissolved, and obtain a mixed solution.

[0022] As another aspect of the present invention, it relates to the application of the above-mentioned solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells in shale gas extraction.

[0024] (1) The solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells provided by the present invention is a solid gel particle formed with calcium alginate as the skeleton, which has good biocompatibility, biodegradability, controllable release and good biological activity.
[0025] (2) The imidazoline phosphate ester provided by the present invention has good anti-corrosion and scale inhibition performance. The nitrogen atom in the five-membered ring can form a coordinate bond with the empty d orbital of Fe metal, resulting in strong chemical adsorption and forming an adsorption film, which reduces or inhibits the contact between the corrosive medium and the metal body, thereby slowing down the corrosion. The phosphate ester and phosphate ions in the side chain have strong chelating ability and can form complexes with metal ions such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc.
[0026] (3) The corrosion inhibitor and bactericidal inhibitor provided by the present invention includes alkynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt and diecryl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Alynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt contains both O and N active atomic groups, which are easy to generate chemical and physical adsorption on the metal surface. It also contains large π bonds, and the electron cloud is easy to move. It also contains quaternary ammonium cations and halide anions with synergistic effects. When adsorbed on the metal surface, it can form multi-center adsorption with multiple groups adsorbed on the metal surface at the same time. This can greatly improve the adsorption activity on the metal surface and enhance the adsorption capacity. In addition, alkynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt can also form a protective film on the metal surface through precipitation, hydrogen bonding and polymerization, which has a good anti-corrosion effect. Furthermore, alkynyloxymethyl quaternary ammonium salt itself has a certain bactericidal effect. Its positively charged nitrogen can act on the cell nucleus of bacteria and inhibit bacterial growth. In addition, quaternary ammonium salt itself has a certain stripping effect and can kill bacteria growing under the adhesion. In addition, the addition of diecryl dimethyl ammonium chloride enhances its bactericidal effect and has a good inhibitory effect on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), saprophytic bacteria (TGB) and iron bacteria (FB).
[0027] (4) The synergist provided by the present invention is a combination of dodecylphenol polyoxyethylene ether OP-10 and hexahydrotriazine, which increases the dispersion performance of imidazoline phosphate and corrosion inhibitor after dissolution and release, thereby achieving better performance.
[0028] (5) The solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells provided by the present invention is added to the annulus of the shale gas well casing and sinks freely to the bottom of the well. It continuously releases corrosion inhibitor, bactericide and scale inhibitor components through contact with the produced fluid. The effective period of a single addition can be up to 100 days. Detailed Implementation
[0029] The polyethylene polyamine described in this embodiment of the invention is Poly-8, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation of Japan, CAS No.: 68131-73-7, with the structure (CH2CH2NH2)n.
[0030] The CAS number of the cycloalkanoic acid described in this embodiment of the invention is 1338-24-5.
[0031] During their work, the inventors discovered that existing corrosion inhibitors cannot simultaneously address the three factors that cause wellbore corrosion. To achieve good corrosion inhibition of wellbore, multiple corrosion inhibitors need to be used in combination, such as using different inhibitors at the upper and lower parts of the wellbore, which is very unfriendly to downhole operations.
[0032] Through further research and development, the inventors have obtained a solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor. A single addition can provide long-term relief from bacterial corrosion in the upper part of the wellbore string, corrosion caused by carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide acidic gases in the lower part of the wellbore string, and scaling and under-deposit corrosion caused by high temperatures in the lower part.

[0100] Experiment Example 2
[0101] Experiment 2 is a field application of the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells in Example 2: The agent was applied in three shale gas wells (well numbers 1#, 2#, and 3#). All three wells experienced corrosion problems caused by CO2 and trace amounts of H2S produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria. Furthermore, the deep production zones, high temperatures, and susceptibility to scaling led to blockage of production channels and frequent well operations. On November 4, 2023, the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells in Example 2 was applied via air injection through the casing annulus. The corrosion rates before and after application were recorded (see Table 4). The contents of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), saprophytic bacteria (TGB), and iron bacteria (FB) before and after application were recorded (see Table 5). The wellhead calcium ion content before and after application was recorded (see Table 6).
[0102] On November 4, 2023, three shale gas wells (well numbers 1#, 2#, and 3#) were injected with the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells (Example 2) via the casing annulus. The dosage is shown in Table 7. The residual concentration and corrosion rate of the corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor in the wellhead produced fluid were recorded on December 1, 2023, January 2, 2024, February 1, 2024, and February 5, 2024, respectively, to determine the shelf life of the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells. The results are shown in Table 7. The criteria for determining the shelf life of the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells were: a residual concentration of the corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor in the wellhead produced fluid below 10 ppm and a corrosion rate above 0.076 mm / a, indicating that the agent had been largely released.

[0110]
[0111] As shown in Table 4-6:
[0112] The corrosion rate before implementation was 0.3749-0.6654 mm / a, and the corrosion rate after implementation was 0.0324-0.0459 mm / a. The corrosion rate decreased significantly, and the corrosion of the wellbore was effectively suppressed.
[0113] Before implementation, the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) content was 250-600 CFU / mL, and after implementation, it was 0 CFU / mL; before implementation, the saprophytic bacteria (TGB) content was 250-600 CFU / mL, and after implementation, it was 0 CFU / mL; before implementation, the iron bacteria (FB) content was 60-250 CFU / mL, and after implementation, it was 0-0.6 CFU / mL; the bacterial content decreased significantly.
[0114] After implementation #1, the calcium ion content at the wellhead increased from 120 mg / L to 472 mg / L; after implementation #2, the calcium ion content at the wellhead increased from 920 mg / L to 4810 mg / L; and after implementation #3, the calcium ion content at the wellhead increased from 204 mg / L to 1212 mg / L. The significant increase in calcium ion content indicates that scaling inside the wellbore has been effectively suppressed.
[0115] As shown in Table 7, the effective period of the solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells after a single application is >103 days for No. 1, >103 days for No. 2, and 89 days for No. 3. The solid corrosion inhibitor, bactericide, and scale inhibitor for shale gas wells provided by this invention is added to the annulus of the shale gas well casing, allowing it to settle freely to the bottom of the well. Through contact with the produced fluid, it continuously releases corrosion-inhibiting, bactericidal, and scale-inhibiting components, achieving an effective period of 89–103 days after a single application.
