Copolymer and its preparation method and application
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application 202311541152.8 filed on November 17, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of petroleum extraction, in particular to a copolymer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0004] Carbonate reservoirs are mainly fracture-cavity type. Due to their strong heterogeneity, water injection development of the reservoirs is prone to water channeling and low recovery rates. The fluid flow state in carbonate reservoirs is complex, with both seepage and pipe flow. Water channeling and flooding in dominant channels have long plagued oilfield production. Currently, the widely used flooding control technologies include flow control and plugging control. Flow control involves injecting flow control agents into water wells. The fluid to be injected needs to have low viscosity at the time of injection and high viscosity after reaching deep layers. Plugging control involves injecting high-strength plugging agents into oil wells. The fluid to be injected needs to maintain high strength for a long time after reaching deep layers.
[0005] Currently, the commonly used flow control agents and plugging control agents are mostly polymer gels. However, the carbonate reservoir environment is harsh. The temperature of China's carbonate reservoirs is mostly 110-160℃, and the salinity is ≥20×10 4 mg / L, calcium and magnesium ion content ≥1×10 4 The carbonate reservoirs in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East are mostly at temperatures of 115-139°C and have mineralizations of 15×10 4 -20×10 4 Existing gel polymers typically use acrylamide monomers as their primary building blocks. Rapid hydrolysis of the amide groups in the polymers in reservoir environments leads to precipitation when exposed to high calcium and magnesium ions. This causes a sharp drop in viscosity, making it difficult to achieve high viscosity at depth. Alternatively, the significant reduction in amide groups makes it difficult to form a high-strength gel, leading to rapid dehydration and failure of the gel, reducing its flow regulation or plugging control effectiveness.
[0006] Currently, the upper limits of temperature and salinity applicable to flow regulation or plugging gels are far lower than the application environment of carbonate salt reservoirs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new polymers and gel flooding systems that are resistant to temperature, salt, and high calcium and magnesium ions to meet the flow regulation and plugging needs of carbonate reservoirs.
[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0055] According to the present invention, the method for detecting the structural units contained in the polymer is as follows:
[0056] (1) Prepare extraction solution A: Add 900 g of deionized water to a 2000 mL volumetric flask, pipette 20 mL of ethanol, and dilute to the mark with isopropanol.
[0057] (2) Prepare extraction solution B: Add 500 g of deionized water to a 2000 mL volumetric flask, pipette 20 mL of ethanol, and dilute to the mark with isopropanol.
[0058] (3) Accurately weigh 2 g of polymer powder sample in a vial, add 10 mL of solution A, and place it in a magnetic stirrer for 40 minutes; then add 10 mL of solution B and continue stirring for 40 minutes; take the supernatant and remove isopropanol, ethanol, and water by vacuum distillation to obtain a test sample.
[0059] (4) Qualitative detection of monomers: The obtained test samples are first subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis to determine the number and structure of monomers; at the same time, the test samples are separated by column chromatography, and the structure of each monomer is determined by nuclear magnetic resonance assisted structure determination.
[0060] (5) Quantitative detection: Use X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) to scan and analyze the polymer powder to determine the surface elemental composition of C, O, N, S, etc., and then further narrow spectrum scan specific elements to analyze the presence of specific elements and perform quantitative analysis. The feed amount of each monomer is calculated based on the element content obtained by analysis, and then the weight percentage of each structural unit is determined based on the feed amount of each monomer. For example, the structure of structural unit A is determined by the monomer corresponding to element S, and then the weight percentage of structural unit A is determined by the percentage of element S.
[0061] According to the present invention, the molar ratio of the elements C, O, N and S in the polymer measured by XPS method is 8.5-15:4-6:1-3:1.
[0062] According to the present invention, C exists in the form of CC, CN, CS, C═O and COC═O, and the molar ratio of each is 70-950:25-480:5-180:5-280:1.
[0063] According to the present invention, O exists in the form of NC═O, SO 2 —O and OC═O, with the respective molar ratios being 28-390:35-750:1.
[0064] According to the present invention, the infrared spectrum of the polymer contains antisymmetric contraction vibration peaks and symmetric contraction vibration peaks of COC.
[0065] A second aspect of the present invention provides a copolymer comprising an olefin skeleton and functional groups bonded to the olefin skeleton, wherein the functional groups include sulfonic acid groups, tertiary carbonate groups, amide groups, and amino groups; wherein, based on the total weight of the copolymer, the weight content of the tertiary carbonate groups is 0.06-1.5 weight percent; the weight content of the sulfonic acid groups is not less than 21 weight percent; and the viscosity-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 5 million to 18 million.
[0066] According to the present invention, an amide group refers to a group derived from an alkenylamide, for example, -CONH2; an aminoacyl group refers to a group derived from an N-alkenylamide, for example, -NHCOR.
[0067] According to the present invention, after determining the structure and weight percentage of each monomer and each structural unit according to the above-mentioned detection method for the structural units contained in the polymer, the weight percentage of each group is determined through analysis and calculation. For example, the molar content of the corresponding structural unit A is calculated based on the molar content of the S element and the corresponding SO2-O functional group ratio in O1s, and then the weight percentage of the sulfonic acid group is calculated; the weight percentage of the corresponding tertiary carbonate group is calculated based on the functional group ratio of the ester group in O1s and C1s.
[0068] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the copolymer, the weight content of tertiary carbonate groups is 0.06-1.5 weight %; for example, 0.06 weight %, 0.07 weight %, 0.08 weight %, 0.09 weight %, 0.1 weight %, 0.2 weight %, 0.3 weight %, 0.4 weight %, 0.5 weight %, 0.6 weight %, 0.7 weight %, 0.8 weight %, 0.9 weight %, 1 weight %, 1.1 weight %, 1.2 weight %, 1.3 weight %, 1.4 weight %, 1.5 weight %, and ranges formed by any two of the above values and values within the range, preferably 0.2-1 weight %.
[0069] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the copolymer, the weight content of sulfonic acid groups is not less than 21 weight %, for example, 21 weight %, 22 weight %, 23 weight %, 24 weight %, 25 weight %, 26 weight %, 27 weight %, 28 weight %, 29 weight %, 30 weight %, 31 weight %, 32 weight %, 33 weight %, 34 weight %, 35 weight %, and ranges formed by any two of the above values, and preferably 25-30 weight %.
[0070] According to the present invention, the viscosity-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 5 million to 18 million, for example, it can be 5 million, 6 million, 7 million, 8 million, 9 million, 10 million, 11 million, 11.6 million, 12 million, 13 million, 14.5 million, 15 million, 16 million, 17 million, 18 million, and the range formed by any two of the above values and the value within the range.
[0071] The copolymer of the present invention contains hydrolyzable structural units, which are structural units that hydrolyze to produce cross-linking groups such as carboxyl groups and amino groups. Under the synergistic effect of the structural units containing sulfonic acid groups and the structural units containing tertiary carbonate groups, the hydrolysis rate of the hydrolyzable structural units in the copolymer can be controlled, thereby increasing the stability of the copolymer at high temperatures. This allows the copolymer to slowly release the cross-linking groups after high-temperature aging. After being injected into an oil reservoir together with a cross-linking agent, the copolymer achieves initial low viscosity. During migration, the cross-linking groups are continuously released through slow hydrolysis, thereby achieving gradual viscosity increase and maintaining a certain viscosity and strength of the gel system, thereby achieving deep profile control and flooding.
[0072] According to the present invention, the cross-linking groups generated after high-temperature hydrolysis refer to the carboxyl groups and amino groups generated after the copolymer is hydrolyzed.
[0073] According to the present invention, the total hydrolysis rate of an aqueous solution of the copolymer with a concentration of 5000 mg / L is not greater than 20% when placed at 130° C. for 15 days, and the total hydrolysis growth rate from 15 days to 60 days is not less than 90%; wherein the total hydrolysis rate refers to the percentage of the total mass of structural units that are hydrolyzed to produce carboxyl groups and amino groups to the initial mass of the copolymer.
[0074] According to the present invention, the hydrolysis rate of the amide group of an aqueous solution of the copolymer with a concentration of 5000 mg / L is no more than 15% when placed at 130° C. for 15 days, and the growth rate of the hydrolysis of the amide group from 15 days to 60 days is no less than 90%; wherein the hydrolysis rate of the amide group refers to the percentage of the mass of the structural unit of the carboxyl group produced by hydrolysis to the initial mass of the copolymer.
[0075] The above-mentioned change in hydrolysis rate indicates that the copolymer can slowly release crosslinking groups after high-temperature aging. In other words, the crosslinking groups generated by structural units B and C in the copolymer after high-temperature aging have a slow-release function. The copolymer achieves an initial low viscosity upon initial injection into the reservoir. During migration, it continuously releases crosslinking groups through hydrolysis to crosslink with the crosslinker, achieving a gradual increase in viscosity while maintaining a certain viscosity and strength for the gel system. After aging at 130°C for 60 days, it still maintains good viscosity and strength, maintaining long-term stability and enabling deep-level flooding. It can be used as a flow control agent and plugging agent in carbonate reservoirs for flow adjustment and plugging.
[0076] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the copolymer glue formed by mixing the copolymer and the metal crosslinking agent has a viscosity increase rate greater than 200% after being placed at 130°C for 60 days, wherein the viscosity increase rate = (viscosity after 60 days - initial viscosity) / initial viscosity × 100%.
[0077] Preparation of copolymer glue: Add the copolymer sample to 900 g of simulated saline, stir at 600 rpm / min until completely dissolved, add 0.5 g of chromium citrate and 0.8 g of chromium lactate, stir until completely dissolved, add 0.8 g of sodium thiosulfate, make up the total weight with simulated saline to 1 kg, and stir evenly to obtain a copolymer glue, wherein the mineralization of the simulated saline is 300,000 mg / L, and the calcium and magnesium ion content is 10,000 mg / L.
[0078] Detection method: Brookfield R / S Rheometer was used to measure the -1 The initial viscosity under shear rate and the viscosity after 60 days of storage are calculated according to the above formula to obtain the viscosity increase rate.

[0155] 2) Calculation method of hydrolysis rate: According to GB / T 12005.6-1989 "Determination of hydrolysis degree of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide" (titration endpoint is pH = 3), the specific steps are as follows:
[0156] (a) A certain mass of the copolymer solution after high temperature aging is titrated according to GB / T 12005.6-1989 "Determination of the degree of hydrolysis of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide" (the titration endpoint is pH = 3) to obtain the hydrochloric acid consumption V1 (the total hydrochloric acid consumption of the acrylate and formate (acetate) structural units);
[0157] (b) An equal mass of the high-temperature aged copolymer solution was first purified using a dialysis membrane (molecular weight cut-off: 3500, Solebold brand) to remove sodium formate (or sodium acetate) produced by hydrolysis, and then subjected to rotary evaporation to remove most of the water. The aged copolymer powder sample was freeze-dried and pulverized to obtain an aged copolymer powder sample. The hydrochloric acid consumption V2 (the hydrochloric acid consumption of the acrylic acid group) was then calculated according to GB / T 12005.6-1989 "Determination of the Degree of Hydrolysis of Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide" (titration endpoint was pH = 3), and the hydrolysis rate of the structural unit B was calculated based on V2;
[0158] (c) The hydrochloric acid consumption of formate or acetate is calculated by V3 = V1 - V2, and the hydrolysis rate of structural unit C after high temperature is calculated with reference to the hydrolysis degree formula in GB / T 12005.6-1989 "Determination of hydrolysis degree of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide".

[0162] The calculation formula for the hydrolysis rate of the structural unit C containing an amino acyl group in the copolymer is as follows:

When X in the structural unit C is NH and R5 is H, M1 is 71 and M2 is 28; when X is NH and R5 is methyl, M1 is 85 and M2 is 42.
[0164] The total hydrolysis rate of the copolymer refers to the percentage of the total mass of the structural units hydrolyzed to produce carboxyl groups and amino groups to the initial mass of the copolymer, and its calculation formula is: total hydrolysis rate = hydrolysis rate of structural unit B + hydrolysis rate of structural unit C = total mass of the structural units corresponding to the carboxyl groups and amino groups / (initial mass of the copolymer) × 100%.
[0165] The total hydrolysis growth rate of the copolymer is calculated as follows: total hydrolysis growth rate = (total hydrolysis rate after aging for 60 days - total hydrolysis rate after aging for 15 days) / total hydrolysis rate after aging for 15 days × 100%.
[0166] 3) Aging viscosity of the control system: The copolymer gel formed by the copolymer and the metal cross-linking agent is placed in a sealed stainless steel reactor, and placed in a constant temperature box at a certain temperature (for example, 130°C) for reaction. After a set time (for example, 60 days), it is taken out of the constant temperature box and the viscosity is measured.
[0167] 4) Viscosity increase of the profile displacement system: measured using a Brookfield R / S Rheometer at 30°C for 7.34 seconds. -1 Viscosity under shear rate; wherein, the viscosity increase rate is calculated as follows: viscosity increase rate = (viscosity after aging - initial viscosity) / initial viscosity × 100%.
[0168] 5) Storage modulus of the profile control and displacement system: The storage modulus of the profile control and displacement system is measured by rheological method to reflect the gel strength of the profile control and displacement system. The measurement method is in accordance with SY / T6296-1997 "Rheological parameter method for determination of gel strength of polymers used in oil production" and the testing instrument is HAAKE RS6000 rheometer.
[0169] 6) Dehydration Rate of the Control and Flooding System: The copolymer gel solution formed by the copolymer and cross-linking agent is placed in a sealed stainless steel reactor and then placed in a thermostat at a certain temperature (e.g., 150°C) for reaction. After a set period of time (e.g., 90 days), the solution is removed from the thermostat and allowed to cool. The mass of the dehydrated water is measured using a scale. The ratio of the mass of the dehydrated water to the mass of the initial gel solution is the dehydration rate. The dehydration rate is used to reflect the thermal stability of the control and flooding system; a lower dehydration rate indicates greater stability.

[0278] The results in Tables A5 and A6 show that controllable-hydrolysis-rate sulfonic acid copolymers prepared in Examples 1-6 of the present invention react with phenolic and aldehyde crosslinkers to form controllable-hydrolysis-rate sulfonic acid copolymers.

[0279] In summary, the copolymer of the present invention can slowly release crosslinking groups after high-temperature aging. Specifically, the crosslinking groups generated by structural units B and C in the copolymer after high-temperature aging have a slow-release function. This copolymer achieves an initial low viscosity upon initial injection into a reservoir. During migration, it continuously releases crosslinking groups through hydrolysis, crosslinking with a crosslinking agent, achieving gradual viscosity increase and ultimately maintaining a certain viscosity and strength. After high-temperature aging, it retains good viscosity and strength, maintaining long-term stability and enabling deep-level flow control. It can be used as a flow control and plugging agent in carbonate reservoirs for adjusting flow channels and plugging.
