The invention belongs to the technical field of oil exploitation, and particularly relates to a
carbon dioxide response type core-shell
polymer gas channeling regulating agent and a preparation method thereof. The raw materials comprise an ionic
hydrophilic monomer, an amino-containing CO2 response
monomer and an orthogonal reaction
monomer pair (A-B). Through the design of combining RAFT
polymerization with
emulsion polymerization and the introduction of an orthogonal reaction
monomer pair (A-B), the structure
controllability and function
synergy are realized. The prepared regulating agent contains a hydrophilic shell layer and a hydrophobic core layer, when CO2 is not introduced, the monomer A and the monomer B do not react due to
spatial isolation, and the solution is in a low-
viscosity stable state. After CO2 is introduced, the amido-containing CO2 response monomer in the core layer is protonated, the core layer is gradually hydrophilized, the particles absorb water and swell, and the particle size is increased. When a core layer is completely protonated, particles are dissolved, the monomer A and the monomer B are in contact and are subjected to orthogonal reaction, so that a hydrophilic
polymer chain is crosslinked to form a three-dimensional hydrogel network, the
viscosity of a solution is increased, and the problem of gas channeling caused by high heterogeneity of an oil reservoir of CO2 flooding can be effectively solved.
