Drilling fluid filtration reducers, their preparation methods and applications

[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202411011564.5, filed on July 26, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to drilling fluid filtration reducers, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0004] In recent years, drilling has frequently encountered salt layers, salt-gypsum layers, and highly saline formation water in different blocks. In some blocks, long-term development has resulted in densely packed injection wells and formation pressure disturbances caused by prolonged water injection and acid fracturing. During drilling, the drilling fluid system is easily contaminated by formation fluids mixed with different types of working fluids, leading to performance degradation or even unusability. Furthermore, the inability to accurately determine the type and thickness of salt layers, the location and distribution of formation fluids, and their ionic composition during drilling operations further complicates the problem of drilling fluid contamination. The intrusion of cations, especially high-valence cations, severely affects drilling fluid performance. High-valence cations such as Ca... 2+ Mg 2+ Al 3+ It will displace the Na adsorbed on the surface of bentonite + This leads to a decrease in zeta potential, a thinner hydration film, and reduced repulsion between bentonite particles, resulting in flocculation and coarsening, which easily forms a thick and loose mud cake, causing complex downhole accidents such as differential pressure stuck pipe. When drilling with high-density drilling fluid systems, the invasion of cations is even more severe, leading to a dramatic increase in drilling fluid filtration loss and a high risk of serious downhole accidents such as wellbore collapse. This necessitates the use of filtration control agents that can resist the invasion of multiple cations. Currently, there are many types of filtration control agents used in oilfields, and the performance of each type varies.

[0005] Modified starch-based filtration loss reducers have strong resistance to salt and calcium, but poor temperature resistance, and are essentially ineffective at 120℃. Modified cellulose-based filtration loss reducers have good salt resistance and can be used in saturated brine, and their biological stability is better than that of modified starch, but their temperature resistance can only reach 130℃. Modified lignite-based filtration loss reducers can withstand temperatures up to about 200℃, but are not salt resistant.

[0006] Therefore, given the current situation where drilling easily encounters formations containing polyvalent cations, and considering the scarcity of filtration loss reducers on the market that can simultaneously resist multiple cations, there is an urgent need to develop a filtration loss reducer that can resist polyvalent cations.

The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of this invention. According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, the solvent is one or more of deionized water, ethanol and methanol, preferably deionized water.

[0222] In this invention, there are no special requirements for the containers used for the dissolution and polymerization reactions.

For example, monomers A, B, C, and D can be dissolved in a solvent in a beaker, and the polymerization reaction can be carried out in a three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a constant speed stirrer, and a reflux condenser.

[0223] In this invention, there are many possible methods for creating a nitrogen atmosphere. The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the nitrogen atmosphere can be obtained by passing nitrogen gas through a three-necked flask for 10-20 minutes to remove oxygen from the container.

[0224] In this invention, there are no special requirements for the heating and heat preservation instruments used in the polymerization reaction. Any instrument that can meet the requirements of this invention can be used in this invention, such as a constant temperature water bath.

[0225] In embodiments of the present invention, monomer A is selected from 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and / or sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate, whose molecular structure contains unsaturated carbon-carbon double bonds, facilitating copolymerization with other monomers. The synthesized filtration loss reducer has sulfonic acid groups with good temperature and salt resistance added to its molecular chain, giving it greater rigidity and enhancing the copolymer's resistance to high temperatures and salt, thereby improving the temperature and salt resistance of the filtration loss reducer.

[0226] In embodiments of the present invention, monomer B is selected from N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and / or 1-allyl-2-pyrrolidone, which has a rigid pyrrolidine ring in its molecular structure. Such cyclic substances can increase the rotational energy of polymer bonds, effectively improving the spreadability of the filtration loss reducer in aqueous solution. The higher spreadability enhances the rigidity of the copolymer molecular chain. For example, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is used as an example to explain its advantages. Normally, the hydrolysis of phthalamide groups on the molecular chain is the main reason for the decrease in the temperature and salt resistance of the copolymer filtration loss reducer. However, the pyrrolidine ring on N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone can inhibit its hydrolysis, allowing the copolymer to maintain its good stability in a high-temperature, salty, calcium-containing environment. As can be seen from the structural formula of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, there is a propionamide group in the five-membered heterocyclic structure. The propionamide group has extremely high polarity, and the nitrogen atom is surrounded by a methyl group and a methylene group. This structure determines that such a five-membered ring structure is not easily degraded at high temperatures, further increasing its high-temperature stability.

[0227] In embodiments of the present invention, monomer C is selected from tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane and / or dimethyldiphenyldivinyldisiloxane, whose molecular structure contains two vinyl functional groups and two or more methyl functional groups. The vinyl functional groups endow the compound with double bond characteristics, while the methyl functional groups increase the compound's hydrophobicity. The reason for choosing tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane or dimethyldiphenyldivinyldisiloxane as one of the monomers to develop the salt-resistant and calcium-resistant filtration-reducing agent is mainly due to their hydrophobicity and the properties of silane compounds. Because of their hydrophobicity, these compounds can form a hydrophobic film in water, thereby preventing the precipitation and crystallization of salt and calcium ions. Furthermore, silane compounds can also react chemically with salt and calcium ions to form insoluble precipitates, thereby reducing the salt and calcium content.

[0228] In embodiments of the present invention, monomer D is selected from dimethyldiammonium chloride-based acrylamide and / or dimethyldibromide-based acrylamide. This is a cationic monomer containing dimethyldiammonium chloride and acrylamide functional groups. Its cationic functional groups can form ionic bonds with anions in water, thereby forming a protective cationic membrane in water. This membrane can prevent the precipitation and crystallization of salt and calcium ions, reducing the erosion and damage of drilling fluid by salt and calcium. The acrylamide functional groups can undergo cross-linking reactions with other functional groups to form a three-dimensional network structure. By designing and selecting reactions with acrylamide functional groups, the performance of the filtration loss reducer can be regulated and improved, enhancing its resistance to salt and temperature.

[0229] In this invention, there are no special requirements for the free radical polymerization reaction temperature. Commonly used polymerization reaction temperatures are applicable to this invention. The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of this invention. According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, the polymerization reaction temperature is 40-90°C, preferably 65-70°C.

[0230] In this invention, the solution free radical polymerization reaction is carried out under conditions with a pH value of 6-9. In this invention, different monomers A, B, C, and D dissolved in the solvent will form solutions with different pH values. Sometimes it is necessary to add a pH adjuster to the solution to bring the pH value within the range of 6-9. The pH adjuster can be any conventional pH adjuster in the art, such as one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and ammonia water, preferably sodium hydroxide.

[0231] In this invention, the free radical polymerization reaction pressure can be selected from a wide range, and commonly used polymerization reaction pressures are all applicable to this invention. The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of this invention. According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, the polymerization reaction pressure is 0.01-1 MPa, preferably atmospheric pressure.

[0232] In this invention, the polymerization reaction time can be selected from a wide range. The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the polymerization reaction time is 3-6 hours, preferably 5-5.5 hours.

[0233] In this invention, there are no special requirements for the stirring speed. The following is an illustrative description, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stirring speed is 200-800 rpm, preferably 300-600 rpm. The method for preparing the drilling fluid filtration reducer provided by this invention adopts a free radical solution polymerization method, which has a wide range of applicable monomers, easy control of polymerization temperature, and the filtration reducer product can exist stably directly in solution. The process is simple, the cost is low, and it is suitable for industrial application.

[0234] This invention provides a filtration loss reducer for drilling fluids prepared according to the preparation method of this invention. The filtration loss reducer's molecular chain contains both anionic and cationic groups, exhibiting good aggregation stability and resistance to Ca2+. 2+ Mg 2+ Al 3+ It can resist various cationic contaminants, maintain the filtration loss reduction and rheological properties of water-based drilling fluid systems, and solve the problem of water-based drilling fluids resisting formation water with different mineralization and saline formations.

[0235] This invention provides the application of the drilling fluid filtration reducer described herein in drilling fluids.

[0236] In this invention, the number-average molecular weight and weight-average molecular weight of the filtration reduction agent were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The instrument model was Waters e2695. The column temperature was 35℃, the mobile phase was tetrahydrofuran (THF), and the flow rate was 1 ml / min. Polystyrene was used as a standard.

[0237] In this invention, a 1103 type six-speed rotational viscometer was used to characterize the apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, and dynamic shear force of various water-based drilling fluids containing filtration loss reducers. Referring to standard GB / T 16782-1997, the values ​​of Φ600 and Φ300, as well as the value of Φ3 after stirring at 600 rpm for 1 min and then standing for 10 s and 10 min respectively, were measured using a six-speed rotational viscometer. The apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), and dynamic shear force (YP) of the water-based drilling fluid were calculated using the following formulas.

[0238] (1) Apparent viscosity AV (unit mPa·s) = 0.50 * Φ600

[0239] (2) Plastic viscosity PV (unit mPa·s) = Φ600 - Φ300

[0240] (3) Dynamic shear force (unit Pa) YP=0.511*(Φ300-PV)

[0241] (4) Initial tangent (τinitial) = 0.511 * Φ3 (after standing for 10 seconds)

[0242] Final cut (τfinal) = 0.511 * Φ3 (after standing for 10 min)

[0243] Test method for medium-pressure filtration loss: Add metal salts of different concentrations and valence states to the prepared base slurry, and stir with a high-speed mixer at a drilling speed of 12000 rpm for 20 minutes. Then, pour 150 mL of contaminated drilling fluid into a medium-pressure filtration loss meter, place the gasket and special filter paper, and tighten the cap. Record the filtrate volume over 30 minutes at an output pressure of 0.69 MPa. This is the medium-pressure API filtration loss of the drilling fluid before aging. Alternatively, take 300 mL of contaminated drilling fluid, age it at 150℃ for 16 hours, and then pour 150 mL of the aged drilling fluid into a medium-pressure filtration loss meter. Place the gasket and special filter paper, tighten the cap, and record the filtrate volume over 30 minutes at an output pressure of 0.69 MPa. This is the medium-pressure API filtration loss of the drilling fluid after aging.
