Description

Technical Field

[0002] In oilfield development and exploitation, such as polymer chemical flooding and profile control, high-temperature aging simulation experiments are required to evaluate chemical agents such as polyacrylamide polymer flooding systems. Currently, the aging device used in these experiments is primarily an ampoule. The polyacrylamide solution is transferred into the ampoule, deoxygenated by nitrogen filling, then sealed by high-temperature heat-melting, and finally placed in an oven for aging. During this process, nitrogen filling and deoxygenation can easily cause the ampoule to rupture, while the heat-melting sealing process can easily cause air leakage, leading to experimental failure. Furthermore, when the temperature exceeds 100°C, the high temperature poses the risk of causing the ampoule to rupture. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a polyacrylamide aging device that can achieve high temperature and high pressure and does not require melting and sealing. The device controls nitrogen filling, deoxygenation and sealing by adding a valve, and at the same time uses a pressure-resistant fiberglass tank body to increase the temperature and pressure resistance of the aging device, thereby realizing an aging simulation experiment of a polymer solution under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0006] Furthermore, the thread pitch of the lower barrel and the upper cover of the aging tank is less than 0.35 mm, and is provided with a sealing rubber gasket.

[0007] Furthermore, the nitrogen filling device uses a straight-through canned nitrogen bottle.

[0008] Furthermore, a vacuum valve is provided on the connecting pipeline between the vacuum device and the four-way connector.

[0009] Furthermore, a nitrogen filling valve is provided on the connecting pipeline between the nitrogen filling device and the four-way connector.

[0017] The present patent application is further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a sealing-free polyacrylamide aging device includes an aging tank, a vacuum device 3, and a nitrogen filling device 4.

[0019] The aging tank includes a lower barrel 1 and an upper cover 2. The lower barrel 1 and the upper cover 2 are connected by threads with a thread pitch of less than 0.35 mm and a sealing gasket. After the lower barrel 1 and the upper cover 2 are connected, a positive pressure method can be used to test the airtightness, with a test pressure of more than 2.0 MPa.

[0020] The upper cover 2 of the aging tank is connected to a four-way connector, one of the channels of the four-way connector is connected to the vacuum device 3 through a vacuum valve 5, and the negative pressure value of the vacuum device 3 during the vacuuming process is greater than 4KPa; the second channel of the four-way connector is connected to the nitrogen filling device 4 through a nitrogen filling valve 6, and the nitrogen filling device 4 uses a straight-through canned nitrogen cylinder, and the pressure of the nitrogen cylinder is not less than 15MPa; the third channel of the four-way connector is connected to the emptying valve 7, which is a plug valve. After the emptying valve 7 is opened, the entire aging tank can be connected to the atmosphere.

[0021] The method for conducting an aging experiment using the device of the utility model is as follows:

[0022] In the first step, polyacrylamide is filled into the aging tank, the nitrogen filling valve 6 and the drain valve 7 are closed, the vacuum valve 5 is opened, and the vacuum device 3 starts vacuuming, and the vacuum pressure is 0.35 MPa;

[0023] The second step is to close the vacuum valve 5, open the nitrogen filling valve 6, and close the nitrogen filling valve 6 after the pressure is balanced;

[0024] Step 3: Repeat steps 1 to 2 2-3 times, and then complete the anaerobic filling of polyacrylamide according to the process of steps 1 and 2;

[0025] The fourth step is to place the aging tank in a water bath or oven at a set temperature for heat preservation and aging to obtain the aged polyacrylamide material.

[0026] Example

[0027] The initial viscosity of the prepared polymer solution was tested, and then the lid of the aging tank was opened and 30 mL of the solution was introduced into the aging tank.

[0028] Step 1: Close the nitrogen filling valve and the exhaust valve, open the vacuum valve to vacuum and deoxygenate for 30 minutes, then close the vacuum valve and open the nitrogen filling valve to fill with nitrogen for 10 minutes.

[0029] Step 2: Close the nitrogen filling valve, open the vacuum valve to vacuum and deoxygenate for 20 minutes, then close the vacuum valve, open the nitrogen filling valve and fill with nitrogen for 5 minutes.

[0030] Step 3: Close the nitrogen filling valve, open the vacuum valve to vacuum and deoxygenate for 10 minutes, then close the vacuum valve and place the aging tank in an oven at a suitable temperature for aging.

[0031] After the polymer solution has been aged for 90 days, remove the aging tank from the oven and slowly open the drain valve. After the pressure inside and outside the tank is consistent, open the lid of the aging tank and pour out the polymer solution to test its viscosity. The temperature resistance of the polymer can be judged by the viscosity retention rate.

[0032] Comparative Example

[0033] The initial viscosity of the prepared polymer solution was tested, and then 30 mL of the solution was introduced into an ampoule.

[0034] Step 1: Vacuum and deoxygenate for 30 minutes, then fill with nitrogen for 10 minutes.

[0035] Step 2: Vacuum and deoxygenate for 20 minutes, then fill with nitrogen for 5 minutes.

[0036] Step 3: Vacuum and deoxidize for 10 minutes, then place the ampoule in an oven at a suitable temperature for aging by hot melting.

[0037] After the polymer solution has been aged for 90 days, the ampoule is taken out of the oven, the bottle mouth is broken, and the polymer solution is poured out to test its viscosity. The temperature resistance of the polymer is determined by the viscosity retention rate.
