Description

Application of crown ether transition metal complex in underground in-situ modification of thickened oil and underground in-situ modification method of thickened oil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of thickened oil development and thermal recovery, and particularly relates to application of crown ether transition metal complex in underground in-situ modification of thickened oil and a method for underground in-situ modification of thickened oil.
Background
The thick oil reserves are rich in resources, account for nearly 70% of the residual recoverable reserves, have huge development potential and have been widely paid attention to. However, the conventional water flooding development is low-efficiency due to the high viscosity and poor flow property of the thick oil, and a high-efficiency development mode capable of reducing the viscosity of the thick oil and improving the performance of the thick oil is needed. The main development mode of thick oil at present is a thermal recovery technology mainly based on steam flooding and SAGD. However, with the development of thermal recovery entering the middle and later stages, the problems of high energy consumption, high pollution, low yield ratio and the like are increasingly remarkable, and the realization of the effective development of energy conservation and consumption reduction, economy and environmental protection of thickened oil becomes a hot spot of research in recent years.
The heavy oil in-situ modification technology is a technology for injecting a modification catalyst into an oil reservoir and realizing irreversible viscosity reduction of heavy oil in situ in the oil reservoir, and is a new generation of heavy oil development technology which is attractive. At present, the viscosity-reducing catalyst used in the thick oil in-situ modification technology mainly comprises three main types, namely a water-soluble catalyst, an oil-soluble catalyst and a nano catalyst. The nano catalyst has a plurality of problems in the construction and injection process of the ground liquid preparation, is easy to damage a reservoir and has higher cost. The water-soluble catalyst is cheap and easy to obtain, the process is simple, but the contact efficiency with crude oil in an oil reservoir is low, so that the catalytic effect is poor. The conventional oil-soluble catalyst can be well dispersed in oil to improve the contact and catalytic efficiency, but the oil-soluble catalyst cannot be dissolved in water, and a large amount of organic solvent is required to be carried into a stratum, so that the environment pollution is serious and the cost is high. The in-situ heavy oil modification viscosity-reducing catalyst has contradiction between injectability and contact catalytic efficiency, and needs a new generation of heavy oil modification viscosity-reducing agent which is more efficient and has both water-soluble injectability and oleophylic contact catalysis.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to find a viscosity-reducing catalyst suitable for underground in-situ modification of thick oil, and the viscosity-reducing catalyst can be applied to underground in-situ modification of thick oil to effectively solve the contradiction between the injectability and the catalytic contact efficiency of the viscosity-reducing catalyst in the prior art, so as to realize the synergy of water-soluble injectability and efficient catalytic contact.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the use of crown ether transition metal complexes (also called crown ether transition metal complexes) formed by complexing crown ether compounds (having crown ether macrocyclic structures) with transition metal ions as viscosity reducing catalysts in the underground in situ upgrading of heavy oil.
The crown ether transition metal complex has crown ether macrocyclic structure, and is formed by complexing crown ether compound and transition metal, and the transition metal ion with catalytic activity is coated in crown ether molecule. The crown ether transition metal complex is a transition metal complex which can be dissolved in water, the hydrophilia of the crown ether group is influenced by temperature, and when the temperature is higher than the cloud point, the hydrophilia is greatly reduced, and the lipophilicity is improved. The crown ether transition metal complex has the function of catalyzing the cracking and viscosity reduction of thick oil, has good water-solubility at normal temperature, can be injected into a stratum along with water, has the characteristic of high-temperature oil solubility due to the fact that the hydrophilic property of the crown ether transition metal complex can be reduced along with the temperature, and after an oil layer is heated, the oil solubility of the crown ether transition metal complex is improved to spontaneously enter an oil phase for catalytic modification reaction.
The crown ether transition metal complex is used as a viscosity-reducing catalyst in the underground in-situ modification process of the thickened oil, so that the viscosity-reducing catalyst can be injected into a stratum along with water, and the viscosity-reducing catalyst spontaneously diffuses to an oil phase to catalyze the thickened oil to perform a modification viscosity-reducing reaction, thereby achieving the synergy of water-soluble injectability and high-efficiency contact catalysis.
