Description

Capsule gel breaker and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a gel breaker, in particular to a capsule gel breaker and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of petroleum and natural gas exploration and development.
Background
With the depth of oil and gas exploration and development, the stratum encountered in the drilling process is more and more complex, and the well leakage problem is very prominent when drilling pressure failure stratum, broken or cemented stratum, fracture development stratum and the like. The problems of borehole instability, collapse, blowout and the like induced by lost circulation are worldwide problems in the oil and gas exploration and development process for a long time, and are main technical bottlenecks for restricting the exploration and development speed. Meanwhile, the lost circulation causes great drilling fluid loss and great damage to the reservoir.
In addition, in the process of oil-gas well cementing construction, if cement slurry is leaked, the annular cement sealing height is not enough, and if the cement slurry sealing section does not meet the design requirement, an oil-gas water layer is leaked and sealed, so that gas-water channeling in the cementing waiting period is caused, the cementing quality is greatly reduced, and even a well control dangerous case is caused due to leakage, and cementing accidents occur.
In order to avoid the above-mentioned damage caused by leakage, at present, plugging by using gel is an effective operation mode. Specifically, gel molecular chains form a space grid structure with extremely strong performance through intermolecular hydrogen bond action and chemical bond action of different treating agents, and the gel molecular chains are retained and blocked at a leakage position by utilizing the adhesive force between the gel molecular chains and the stratum and the self structural force. However, after drilling or cementing, gel needs to be broken and drained, otherwise, the remaining gel can cause secondary damage to the reservoir, and even reduce the later-stage flow conductivity of the fracture.
At present, gel breaking of the gel is mostly realized by adding a gel breaker, but the gel breaking time of the current gel breaker is short, so that the gel cannot maintain long-acting stability within required time, gel breaking is performed in advance, and effective plugging of the gel on cracks is not facilitated.

Specifically, the mass fraction of the polymer emulsion has a certain relationship with the particle size and the compactness of the capsule gel breaker, and under different mass fractions of the polymer emulsion, the capsule shell thickness and the compactness of the encapsulated capsule gel breaker are different, and the larger the capsule shell thickness is, the larger the particle size of the capsule gel breaker is, and the longer the sustained-release time is; the smaller the thickness of the capsule coat is, the smaller the particle size of the capsule gel breaker is, and the shorter the sustained-release time is; the more compact the capsule coat is, the longer the slow release time is, the less compact the capsule coat is, and the shorter the slow release time is.
In the invention, the sustained-release time of the capsule gel breaker at about 70 ℃ can be realized for 6-14h by controlling the mass fraction of the polymer emulsion to be 10-30%.
In the specific operation, the polymer emulsion is a polymerization reaction system of the emulsion, so that the controllable operation of the slow release time can be realized by controlling the concentration of the emulsion and the proportion of the organic solution and the emulsifier aqueous solution. The emulsion consists of an organic solution and an aqueous solution of an emulsifier, the organic solution consists of a first reaction liquid and an initiator, and the aqueous solution of the emulsifier is formed by mixing the emulsifier and water. The results show that when the mass fraction of the first reaction liquid is 5 to 60% (i.e., the mass fraction of the total mass of the amphiphilic modified starch or the amphiphilic modified cellulose derivative, the acrylate monomer, and the halogen-containing vinyl monomer in the first reaction liquid), the mass ratio of the initiator to the monomer is (0.1 to 2): 100 (the monomer is a set of amphiphilic modified starch or amphiphilic modified cellulose derivative, acrylate monomer and vinyl monomer containing halogen), the mass fraction of the emulsifier aqueous solution is 0.1-1% (namely the mass fraction of the mass of the emulsifier in the emulsifier aqueous solution), and the volume ratio of the organic solution to the emulsifier aqueous solution is (1-9): (9-1), the capsule gel breaker can be slowly released for 6-14h at about 70 ℃.
Further, in the encapsulation process, the mass ratio of the polymer emulsion to the solid gel breaker is (95-50): (5-50).
In the specific implementation process of the invention, the dosage of the polymer emulsion is controlled to be not less than the dosage of the solid gel breaker, and the mass percentages of the polymer emulsion and the solid gel breaker are generally controlled to be (85-65): (15-35) to achieve complete encapsulation of the solid breaker and further avoid agglomeration between capsule breakers.
The invention also provides a capsule gel breaker, which is prepared by the preparation method.
The capsule gel breaker is of a structure that a capsule coat wraps a capsule core, and due to the special composition of the capsule coat, the capsule gel breaker has good stability, long slow release time and controllable slow release time, the capsule coat can be broken at a target moment and release the capsule core, and gel is broken and degraded after the capsule core is bonded with gel to complete deblocking of the gel; and the solution after gel breaking has lower viscosity, is favorable for being discharged back to the stratum, and avoids secondary pollution to the stratum.

The capsule gel breaker obtained in the above embodiment is characterized and tested, including appearance, effective content, sustained release and liquid viscosity after gel breaking, specifically as follows:
1. appearance and appearance
The capsule breakers in the examples were observed using a JSM-IT500 scanning electron microscope. Fig. 3 is a scanning electron microscope image with a magnification of 74 times of the capsule breaker according to example 1 of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a partial scanning electron microscope image with a magnification of 2432 times of the fig. 3.
The appearance of the encapsulated breaker sample is clearly seen in fig. 3, and the multiphase film formed after the polymer emulsion is dried can uniformly cover the outside of the solid breaker, and no naked solid breaker can be observed.
Fig. 4 is a magnified partial photograph of the photograph of fig. 3, and from fig. 4 the film that may be coated on the outside of the solid breaker exhibits two different states, one white dense and the other darker contrast, indicating that the film material contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic components. Not only can ensure that the capsule gel breaker has good water resistance and prolongs the release time, but also can induce the membrane to break when the internal pressure is enough to complete the release.
As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the capsule shell of the capsule breaker prepared in the above embodiment can efficiently wrap the capsule core, and the capsule breaker has high dispersity and no adhesion phenomenon; and the surface has an obvious phase separation structure, so that a good gel breaking effect can be ensured.
2. Effective content
The effective content of the capsule breakers of examples 1-3 were tested separately, wherein,
effective content-mass of solid breaker actually encapsulated/mass of capsule breaker,
the mass of the capsule gel breaker is directly obtained by weighing, and the mass of the actually encapsulated solid gel breaker is measured by adopting an ultraviolet spectrophotometer method, wherein the specific method comprises the following steps:
first, standard working curve determination is performed: and (3) taking a certain amount of polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, dropwise adding 2-3 drops of iodine solution, mixing, and then adding a certain amount of gel breaker standard solution. The maximum absorption wavelength (570-610 nm) is fixedly selected, a polyvinyl alcohol iodine solution is used as a reference, the absorbance (or light transmittance) of a developing solution is measured by a 721 type spectrophotometer, and a working curve is drawn. The concentration of the aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution and the concentration of iodine and the amount of the mixture thereof are properly selected to prevent the precipitation of gel. The working curve may be linear in absorbance versus breaker content of 0-1.0 wt.%. Because the PVA content which does not produce gel has a certain limit, the acid liquor of the gel breaker with higher content needs to be quantitatively diluted and then measured.
Then, the concentration of the actual encapsulated solid gel breaker is determined: the concentration of the core material in the solution was measured as follows: and (2) dropwise adding 2-3 drops of iodine solution into a certain amount of polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, mixing, adding a certain amount of solution to be detected of the gel breaker, and measuring the absorbance (or light transmittance) of the developing solution by using a 721 type spectrophotometer. The wavelength is referenced to a standard working curve, and the concentration of the gel breaker can be determined within the standard curve.
And finally, calculating the mass of the solid gel breaker according to the concentration of the solid gel breaker.
The results are shown in Table 1.
3. Sustained release property
When the anion polyacrylamide gels were subjected to gel breaking at 55 ℃ by using the capsule breakers of examples 1 to 3, respectively, and a change in system color was observed, it was confirmed that the solid breakers in the capsule breakers began to be released to obtain a zero release time, i.e., a sustained release time, and the results are shown in table 1.
4. Viscosity of liquid before gel formation and viscosity of liquid after gel breaking
The viscosity of the above anionic polyacrylamide gel before gel formation was measured by a viscometer and the results are shown in Table 1. (since the viscosity of the anionic polyacrylamide gel after gelling is greater than 50000mPa.s, the viscosity cannot be determined in the solid state)
The viscosity of the solution after breaking was measured by a viscometer and the results are shown in Table 1.
