Description

Nano microemulsion oil displacement agent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical oil displacement for improving the recovery ratio of crude oil, and particularly relates to a nano microemulsion oil displacement agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous progress of oil production, many areas of the world have entered the high water and extra high water phases of development. In order to increase the recovery rate of old oil fields and increase the recoverable reserves, tertiary oil recovery is often used to increase the recovery rate of crude oil after water flooding, which is also called Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method, and generally refers to that after secondary oil recovery, the properties of oil, gas, water and rock are improved by injecting chemicals, heat, miscible solvents and other substances, so as to recover more oil.
Four major technological lines of tertiary oil recovery, namely chemical flooding, gas flooding, thermal flooding and microbial oil recovery, have now been developed around the world. Wherein the chemical flooding comprises polymer flooding, surfactant flooding, alkali water flooding and composite flooding technologies.
The polymer can greatly increase the viscosity of the displacement fluid, improve the oil-water fluidity ratio and block a high-permeability layer, so that the polymer is often used for oil displacement to enhance the oil recovery effect. However, the existing chemical flooding technology including polymer flooding is mainly used for medium and low permeability reservoirs with high permeability and large pore throat radius, and is hardly applied to the medium and low permeability reservoirs, mainly because the medium and low permeability reservoirs have the characteristics of low permeability, small pore throat radius, large seepage resistance, high possibility of blockage and the like geologically, the technical problem of 'no-injection and no-extraction' exists on site, and the problem also limits the application of the traditional chemical flooding, so that the utilization degree and the development effect of the medium and low permeability reservoirs are seriously low.
In recent years, microemulsion flooding is used as a novel flooding method, so that the displacement efficiency and the sweep efficiency can reach the maximum limit, a breakthrough result is obtained in tertiary oil recovery of a low-permeability reservoir, and the crude oil recovery rate is greatly improved. Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, isotropic, low viscosity transparent or translucent dispersions of oil and water that form spontaneously under certain conditions under the action of surfactants and co-surfactants. MicroemulsionThe particle size of the oil deposit is generally 10-100 nm, and the particle size is far smaller than the pore throat radius of a low-permeability oil deposit, so that the phenomenon of throat blockage cannot occur. The microemulsion solution can be mixed and dissolved with oil and water, and the oil-water interfacial tension is greatly reduced. Compared with the upper phase microemulsion and the lower phase microemulsion, the middle phase microemulsion has more remarkable capability of reducing the oil-water interfacial tension, and the interfacial tension can reach 10-2~10-5mN/m. The microemulsion has important application value in tertiary oil recovery, and the crude oil recovery rate is generally improved by more than 10 percent.
For example, the Chinese patent CN 110527503A discloses an anion-cation pair nano emulsion oil displacement agent for oil displacement of medium-low permeability oil reservoirs, which has an average particle size of less than 100nm and contains the following components in percentage by mass: 0.01-10% of dispersed phase, 20-50% of anion and cation system surfactant, 10-30% of zwitter-ion surfactant, 0.5-15% of low carbon alcohol and the balance of water. The anion and cation pair nanoemulsion oil displacement agent has the advantages of high surface activity, strong temperature resistance and salt tolerance, low adsorption loss, low use concentration and the like, and can effectively improve the recovery ratio of medium and low permeability oil reservoirs by more than 15%. However, the content of the surfactant in the composition can reach as high as 80 percent, so that the production cost and the final use cost are obviously too high, and the economic benefit is very low.
For example, the Chinese patent CN 105331348A discloses a homogeneous microemulsion oil displacement agent applied to low permeability oil field for improving crude oil recovery and a preparation method thereof, the homogeneous microemulsion oil displacement agent comprises the following components in formula: the volume ratio of oil to water is 1:1, the concentration of each component is represented by the mass percentage concentration of each component in the total amount of the oil and water, the concentration of the compound surfactant is 2-3.5%, the concentration of the cosurfactant is 4.5-11%, and the concentration of the electrolyte is 2.5-8.5%. The oil displacement agent has good thermodynamic stability, strong capability of solubilizing water and oil and ultralow interfacial tension (10) between the oil displacement agent and the oil and the water-3mN/m), etc., but the performance of reducing the oil-water interfacial tension and the oil displacement efficiency need to be further improved.

The test results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 Performance test results for Nano microemulsion oil displacement Agents
Figure BDA0003054085880000101
From the test results of the examples 1-2, the nano microemulsion oil displacement agent produced by the invention has smaller particle size, the minimum particle size can be 20-30nm, and the nano microemulsion oil displacement agent can well pass through a nano-scale fine throat and a micro throat; the interfacial tension with oil and water can be reduced to 1.0 x 10-4The mN/m is lower than the mN/m, and the ultralow oil-water interfacial tension is realized; thereby improving the crude oil recovery ratio by more than 10 percent and improving the crude oil recovery ratio by at least 52 percent compared with water drive.
Comparing the test results of example 1 with those of comparative examples 1 to 5, it can be found that the content of each component constituting the nano microemulsion oil-displacing agent has a significant influence on the performance of the nano microemulsion oil-displacing agent. The present invention, through the ingenious choice of the contents of the components, which is also one of the intelligent contributions of the present invention, unexpectedly finds that the above-mentioned technical problem to be solved by the present invention is solved only by microemulsions within the content range defined by the present invention. And the conventional mixture ratio in the field is adopted, such as the volume ratio of oil to water is 1:1, or even if the dosage of the surfactant and the cosurfactant is increased, the oil displacement performance equivalent to that of the nano microemulsion oil displacement agent with low production cost can not be obtained at the cost of increasing the production cost and the use cost.
Comparing the test results of example 1 with those of comparative examples 6-8, it can be found that the composition of the nano microemulsion oil-displacing agent has a significant effect on the performance of the nano microemulsion oil-displacing agent. The present invention, through the modulation of the microemulsion components, which is another intelligent contribution of the present invention, unexpectedly finds that the technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be solved only by using the microemulsion with the components defined in the present invention. Even minor variations of the components making up the microemulsion, such as the change of Triton X-100 to Triton X-45, the change of isopropanol to n-butanol, and the non-sulfonation of saponins, resulted in significant deterioration of the properties of the nanomicroemulsion oil-displacing agent, which clearly would not be expected by the person skilled in the art.
Comparing the results of the tests of example 1 with those of comparative examples 9-10, it was found that the presence of a synergistic effect of Triton X-100 and the sulfonated saponin, both components constituting the surfactant (which is a further intelligent contribution of the present invention), and the absence of either, resulted in a significant deterioration of the properties of the oil-displacing agent for nanomicroemulsions, which would obviously be unexpected by the skilled person on the basis of the prior art.
It is noted that it is well known in the art that the key to the preparation of a microemulsion is the formulation, the properties of the microemulsion depend primarily on its formulation, and that changes in the nature or amount of any of the components that make up the microemulsion can affect the formation and properties of the microemulsion. The inventor of the present invention has solved the aforementioned technical problems by obtaining a nano microemulsion oil displacement agent formulated as described above through a very arduous and well-known creative effort.
