The invention also provides a preparation method of any one of the thin oil foaming agents, which comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing the zwitterionic surfactant, the stabilizing synergist, the surfactant and water to obtain the thin oil foaming agent.
The proportions of the amphoteric surfactant, the stabilizing synergist, the surfactant and the water are the same as those described above, and are not described herein again.
The invention also provides an application of any one of the thin oil foaming agents as a foam oil displacement agent in thin oil foam exploitation.
When nitrogen foam fluid is used for oil displacement in an injection well, due to the fact that dirt and other conditions often exist on the pipe wall of a well deep zone and a zone close to the well, the traditional ground foaming device can only mix and foam on the ground, the quality of foam generated at the bottom of the well cannot be guaranteed, the treatment on an oil layer is not very ideal, the two-phase liquid of gas and liquid at the bottom of the well cannot be guaranteed to be in a high-speed turbulent flow state, continuous and stable high-quality foam is generated, and the oil displacement effect is not very ideal.

Test example 3
1. Determination of interfacial tension
The foaming agent is actually a surfactant, and is bound to generate adsorption on a contact interface of crude oil and an aqueous solution, so that the oil-water interfacial tension is reduced, and the oil displacement efficiency is improved. Therefore, the interfacial tension between the crude oil and the thin oil frother of example 1 was measured.
Specifically, the thin oil foaming agent XHY-6 obtained in example 1 and the foaming agent of comparative example XHY-4 were prepared into foaming agent solutions having a concentration of 0.025% to 0.2% using formation water, respectively, and interfacial tensions between the respective foaming agent solutions and the crude oil were measured at 84.2 ℃ and 15MPa in the oil layer of the Tuohwenxi three-well area.
The measurement is carried out by using a JJ2000B rotary drop interfacial tension measuring instrument, wherein the density of the crude oil is 0.82g/cm3The oil-water density difference is 0.18g/cm3The results are shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 is a graphical comparison of the interfacial tension between crude oils at different concentrations for the thin oil frother of the present invention and the comparative thin oil frother. As shown in figure 1, the thin oil foaming agent prepared by the invention generates adsorption on a contact interface between crude oil and an aqueous solution, can effectively reduce the tension of an oil-water interface, and is more beneficial to improving the oil displacement efficiency.
2. Determination of the occlusion capacity (resistance factor):
in the foam displacement process, the foaming agent solution and the gas generate foam by the action of the pore medium such as the seizure and division, and therefore, the foam generation ability and the foam stability are affected by the foaming agent component in the case of the same gas. When the foaming agent seeps in the pore medium, the dilution of underground liquid and the adsorption retention phenomenon with the rock are caused, so that the effective concentration of the foaming agent is influenced to different degrees. Therefore, in the test example, the core displacement test evaluation is performed on the foam performance of the foam system during seepage in the pore medium, so as to determine the plugging rate of the sand-filled pipe of the foam system.
In the core displacement test, the pressure value can be directly tested, so the blocking strength of the foam in the core is generally characterized by a resistance factor Z, namely:
Figure BDA0002376472420000151
in the formula: z-the drag factor;
ΔPbrinepressure difference between two ends of the rock core during water injection, namely MPa;
ΔPfoamand pressure difference at two ends of the rock core is MPa when foam is injected.
When the foam is exposed to air, the generation and coalescence of the foam are hardly limited by the environmental space, and when the foam is generated in the porous medium of the reservoir, the pore throat of the reservoir influences the existing form of the foam, such as the size, dispersion, coalescence and the like of the foam. The permeability is one of characteristic parameters for characterizing the pore structure and has a main influence on the blocking capacity of the foam.
Specifically, the thin oil foaming agent XHY-6 prepared in example 1 and the foaming agent of comparative example XHY-4 were formulated with formation water into foaming agent solutions having concentrations of 0.05%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.125%, and 0.15%, respectively, and the plugging force of each foaming agent solution in the pore medium under the conditions of reservoir permeability was measured at 84.2 ℃ and 25 MPa. In the test, a sand filling pipe with the model of phi 38mm multiplied by 1000mm is used, 100-sand 200-mesh quartz sand is selected, the gas-liquid ratio is 1:1, and the measurement result is shown in figure 2.
FIG. 2 is a graph comparing the plugging force curves of the thin oil frother of the present invention and the comparative thin oil frother at different concentrations. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the thin oil foaming agent prepared by the present invention has a significantly higher plugging capability than the comparative foaming agent.
3. System compatibility test
By adopting a spectrophotometric method, when the pH value of the amphoteric surfactant is less than or equal to 6, the amphoteric surfactant is in a cationic type and can be quantitatively complexed with an anionic acid orange II dye [ p- (beta-naphthol azo) benzenesulfonic acid ], then an organic solvent is used for extraction, and an organic phase is detected to obtain the concentration of the amphoteric surfactant, namely the concentration of the foaming agent.
0.5 percent of crude oil (the volume concentration of the crude oil after the crude oil is mixed with formation water is 0.5 percent, and the density of the crude oil is 0.769g/cm3Viscosity of 0.7 mPas) the dilute oil blowing agent XHY-6 obtained in example 1 and the blowing agent XHY-4 of the comparative example were prepared to a concentration of 0.025% respectively,0.05%, 0.075% and 0.1% foaming agent solutions, while the dilute oil foaming agent XHY-6 obtained in example 1 was formulated with clear water to give nominal foaming agent solutions with concentrations of 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.075% and 0.1%, respectively. The amphoteric surfactant concentration in the frother solution was determined using the method described above. The results are shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 is a graph comparing the amphoteric surfactant concentration curves at different concentrations for the thin oil frother of the present invention and the comparative thin oil frother, with the dashed line being the calibration line for the calibration frother solution.
In fig. 3, the calibration line indicates:

mixing 0.075% XHY-6 foaming agent solution with crude oil for layering, wherein the foaming agent content in the water solution is 735mg/L, and the foaming agent molecular content in the oil phase is 15 mg/L;
after 0.1 percent XHY-6 foaming agent solution is mixed with crude oil for layering, the foaming agent content in the water solution is 980mg/L, and the foaming agent molecular content in the oil phase is 20 mg/L.

after 0.1 percent XHY-4 foaming agent solution and crude oil are mixed and layered, the foaming agent content in the water solution is 270mg/L, and the foaming agent molecular content in the oil phase is 730 mg/L.
When the foaming agent solution is mixed with the oil phase, a part of foaming agent molecules can be dissolved in crude oil, and the foaming effect of the foaming agent is poorer as more foaming agents are dissolved in the crude oil, so that the foaming agent is developed by ensuring that the foaming agent molecules in the oil phase are as less as possible and the foaming agent molecules in the aqueous solution are as more as possible, so that the foaming effect can be ensured.
Therefore, as can be seen from fig. 3: the thin oil blowing agent of example 1 has superior foaming properties compared to the thin oil blowing agent of the comparative example.
