The third aspect of the invention also provides application of the zwitterionic starch microspheres in temporary plugging agent for protecting oil and gas reservoirs. The starch microspheres are used as a component in a drilling fluid system to play a role in shielding and temporary plugging. The addition amount of 0.5-5 wt% can achieve good effect. The drilling fluid added with the microspheres has good plugging capability, can effectively plug pores or microcracks to form compact mud cakes, prevents a large amount of filtrate from permeating into a stratum, and reduces the filtration loss.
Compared with the prior art, the zwitterionic starch microsphere and the preparation method thereof have the following advantages:
1. the zwitterionic starch microspheres are polydisperse microspheres with uniformly distributed particle sizes, and are different from monodisperse and polydisperse starch microspheres prepared by the prior art. When the starch microspheres are applied to the field of temporary plugging agents for protecting oil and gas reservoirs, due to the fact that geological structures are different, the porosity span of the reservoirs is large, and if the microspheres with monodisperse particle sizes are used, the requirement on broad spectrum is difficult to meet, and the using effect cannot meet the industrial requirement. In addition, the existing polydisperse microspheres are normally distributed, the effective range of the particle size is narrow, and the effect is obviously limited. The uniformly distributed polydisperse starch microspheres provided by the technology can well solve the problems, namely, in any particle size interval, the microspheres have equivalent proportion, high microsphere content and obvious temporary plugging effect, and can meet the requirement of broad spectrum.
2. In the preparation method of the zwitterionic starch microspheres, the structures of the straight chain part and the branched chain part in the starch are equivalent in size and have similar molecular sizes under the combined action of the triethanolamine and the epichlorohydrin, so that the prepared microspheres are easier to control, and the particle size distribution is uniform. Then the starch is subjected to copolymerization modification by using a zwitterionic monomer so as to have amphiphilicity. In the process of crosslinking starch into microspheres, by using a zwitterionic surfactant and simultaneously slowly adding inorganic salt and epichlorohydrin at a constant speed, under the combined action of the zwitterionic surfactant and the epichlorohydrin, the particle size of the prepared starch microspheres is linearly changed, and then the polydisperse starch microspheres with uniformly distributed particle sizes are prepared.
3. In the preparation method of the zwitterionic starch microspheres, due to the addition of the zwitterionic monomer, the salt resistance, temperature resistance and other properties of the microspheres are remarkably improved.
