According to the invention, the plugging agent obtained by the invention is injected into the formation fracture, and the plugging agent continuously undergoes polymerization reaction at the formation temperature until the plugging agent becomes gel, and simultaneously absorbs water to expand, so that the plugging agent stays in the formation fracture to realize a good plugging effect.
The principle of the invention is as follows:
(1) the main body of the swelling type high-efficiency slug gel plugging agent is a gel formed by connecting a plurality of monomers through covalent bonds. Molecular chains are subjected to dehydration condensation reaction under the action of a cross-linking agent, and are cross-linked with each other to form a net structure; in the process, water molecules are contained in the lattice structure to form gel adaptive to leakage channels such as cracks and the like, and the gel has better water absorption performance, so that the underground working fluid is physically blocked to achieve the aim of stopping leakage. The use of proper cross-linking agent not only avoids the problem that the formation of a three-dimensional network space of gel is difficult due to low cross-linking density, but also prevents the phenomena that the three-dimensional network space of the original water molecule is controlled to be too small and difficult to absorb water and expand due to overhigh cross-linking density. The invention selects a specific kind of polymerization reagent and uses a specific kind of cross-linking agent, which is beneficial to improving the comprehensive properties of the obtained gel, such as plugging property, water absorption property, mechanical strength and the like.
(2) The water-soluble resin with hydrophilic groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and the like is used as the toughening material, so that good compatibility with the gel matrix can be realized.
(3) The acetate starch and the phosphate starch adopted in the plugging agent respectively contain acetate and phosphate, and both have the effects of reducing the gelatinization temperature of starch in practical application and simultaneously have strong hydrophilic water-locking capacity, so that the underground water absorption and retention capacity of gel can be further improved, and the gel further keeps high expansion factor and is firmly attached to a leakage space. On the other hand, as the modified starch is produced and prepared under the action of enzyme, heating, stirring and the like, the aggregation between the molecular chains of the starch is destroyed originally, the dense arrangement of the starch molecules is destroyed, and water molecules can enter the starch granules more easily.
(4) The hydrophilic groups in the volume expansion reactant are the prime power of the gel capable of absorbing water and expanding, and the neutralization degree of the water-soluble polymerized monomers in the volume expansion reactant directly influences the number of the hydrophilic groups on a molecular chain, so that the water absorption and expansion capacity of the gel is influenced. And when the neutralization degree is low, on one hand, the crosslinking points formed by hydrophilic group carboxyl through hydrogen bonds are increased, so that the volume swelling reactant is highly crosslinked and is not easy to absorb water, and on the other hand, the carboxylate content is reduced, so that the molecular chain anion repulsion is reduced, and the molecular net space structure is not easy to expand, so that the water absorption capacity is reduced. Therefore, the addition of sodium hydroxide neutralizes acrylic acid to a certain extent to increase the water-absorbing expansion capacity of the volume expansion reactant.
(5) The composite inorganic toughening material is preferably rigid particle and fiber material. Wherein the fiber material mainly plays a role of 'lacing wire' in the process of plugging cracks; the fibers flow in the liquid gel in a single-strip or cluster-shaped form, and can be entangled with fine nano rigid particles in the flowing process to finally form clusters of the fibers and the rigid particles, the behavior of the fibers, the fibers and the particles being entangled greatly enhances the toughness and the stability of the gel after being gelatinized, the mechanical strength of the gel in a leaking layer is enhanced, and the gel can still maintain better toughness and is not damaged when bearing larger pressure from formation fluid. The selected rigid particles have good water dispersibility, the preferred particle size is less than 200 mu m, the specific surface area is larger, the surface activity is large, the hydrophilic groups can form the action far greater than the action force between molecules on the interface of the hydrophilic groups, and micro cracks can be well initiated to absorb energy; in addition, due to the rigidity of the particles, the crack deflects when meeting the particles during expansion, and the function of absorbing energy to achieve toughening is achieved; the rigid particles have good compatibility with resin and gel, so that the dispersion capacity and the absorption energy of a gel matrix to pressure-bearing impact and tensile energy are improved, and a good toughness increasing effect is realized.
(6) The initiator selected by the invention is broken by weak base at a certain temperature to generate active groups, thereby promoting the polymerization reaction. The initiator used in the invention has decomposition activation energy in the range of 60-190kJ/mol, and the formation temperature condition can ensure that the initiator decomposes to generate free radicals to adjust the polymerization reaction rate. The invention selects the initiator with specific concentration, and avoids the phenomenon that the water absorption expansion capacity of the gel is weakened due to implosion caused by overhigh concentration of the initiator.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the bulk-swelling type high-efficiency slug gel plugging agent has the advantages of self-adaption of the gelling temperature and adjustable gelling time, the gelling temperature range is 30-120 ℃, and the gelling temperature adaption condition is wide. The invention sets three different initiation temperature conditions by simulating the formation temperature, and utilizes the characteristics of the initiator decomposition activation energy, thereby not only avoiding the problems of low free radical collision rate, reduced molecular crosslinking degree and low gel expansion ratio generated by the initiator due to low temperature condition, but also avoiding the problems of increased active center, increased polymerization and crosslinking reaction, reduced space grid for controlling water molecules and small gel water absorption expansion ratio due to high temperature condition.
(2) The conventional bridging plug plugging material or the toughening material in the plugging slurry is easy to gather at the bottom of a crack space under the action of gravitational potential energy and cannot completely cover the crack space, the plugging effect on a vertical crack is particularly poor, and the plugging is realized mainly by stacking the materials, so that the plugging material is damaged under the pumping of a shaft working solution, and the labor and the material resources are greatly consumed. The high-efficiency swelling slug gel plugging agent can stay in a leakage space in the process of injecting into a leakage layer by selecting a rheological agent with a thickening effect, gradually gelatinizes under a specific temperature condition, and fills cracks. The components of the plugging agent are taken as a whole, and the plugging agent has good mechanical properties such as toughness, tensile resistance and the like after being formed into gel and also has larger water absorption expansion capacity, so that cracks are further squeezed and filled, the matching degree with the sizes of the cracks is high, a channel of working fluid and formation fluid is isolated, and a good plugging effect is realized; meanwhile, the gel after water absorption still has excellent mechanical strength; has wide research prospect and plugging field requirement.
(3) The invention utilizes the inverse emulsion polymerization method to synthesize the volume swelling reactant, has higher polymerization rate compared with the solution polymerization method, and can improve the molecular weight at the same time. The molecular size of the volume swelling reactant resin is related to the molecular weight of the resin; the molecular weight of the resin is increased, so that the molecular size of the resin can be improved; when the resin is in a salt solution, molecular chains of the resin shrink and curl under the influence of the electrostatic shielding effect and the dehydration effect of calcium and magnesium cations, and the molecular size is reduced, so that the influence of metal ions on the water absorption performance of the resin can be reduced by increasing the molecular weight of the volume swelling reactant. The volume expansion reaction agent synthesized by the reverse emulsion polymerization method is beneficial to improving the salt resistance and water absorption performance of the volume expansion reaction agent.
(4) At present, due to the limitation of exploration and development technologies, an empirical evaluation method is often adopted for downhole leaking stoppage, namely, the size of a leaking space is judged according to the leaking rate of working fluid and the position of a sampling leaking position when leaking occurs, a set of leaking stoppage materials with matched sizes is formulated for leaking stoppage, and certain blindness and incompleteness are still achieved even if some leaking stoppage particles with water absorption expansion are adopted. The efficient bulk-expanded slug gel plugging principle of the invention is 'stopping when leaking, gelling when stopping, absorbing water and reinforcing', the crack size does not need to be matched, the time for evaluating the crack size is greatly reduced, the pumping of a leaking layer is simple, the method is beneficial to field construction application, and the method has wide application and research prospects.
