Description

Intelligent temperature control microcapsule for natural gas hydrate formation and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of drilling fluid, in particular to an intelligent temperature control microcapsule for a natural gas hydrate stratum and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The enormous resource reserves make natural gas hydrate drilling and development a research hotspot. Hydrates are mainly present in subsea formations under low temperature and high pressure conditions, which presents a serious technical challenge to drilling engineering. One of the key problems is that in the horizontal well section of the hydrate reservoir, the cutting heat of a drilling tool causes the hydrate to be decomposed, so that the stratum loses framework support, and collapse and geological disasters are caused. However, the prior art only delays the decomposition speed of the hydrate to a certain extent by adding a chemical treatment agent, and does not change the phase equilibrium temperature of the hydrate. Therefore, the hydrate formed is continuously decomposed with the increase of temperature. Under the condition, the intelligent temperature control of the drilling fluid by using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to inhibit the decomposition of the hydrate has important research value.
In recent years, researchers have conducted extensive studies on phase change materials, and temperature control techniques for storing/releasing energy in advance by phase change of materials and releasing/absorbing energy at an appropriate temperature have been developed. These compounds are mainly classified into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Compared with organic phase change materials, inorganic phase change materials generally have the characteristics of low cost, high heat conductivity coefficient, capability of being cooled at low temperature and the like. However, organic phase change materials have found wider application due to their higher latent thermal properties.
CN107523273A discloses a phase change energy storage microcapsule, which takes paraffin as a core material and polyester resin with average molecular weight of 30000-40000 as a wall material. CN111013509A discloses a phase change energy storage microcapsule, which takes inorganic salt adsorbed with an interface enhancer as a core material and takes a high molecular polymer as a wall material. Because the microcapsules all use high molecular polymers as wall materials, the prepared microcapsules have extremely poor thermal conductivity and unsuitable phase change temperature, so that the microcapsules cannot play a role in a natural gas hydrate stratum.
CN113025285A discloses a phase change microcapsule coated with silica, which obtains a phase change material coated with silica through a sol-gel reaction on an emulsion interface. CN113249097A discloses a polyacrylate phase change microcapsule. The phase-change material of alkane and ester is taken as a core material, and the polyacrylate is taken as a wall material, so that the sealing material has good sealing performance, good crushing resistance and good coating effect.
Even though the microcapsule prepared by the method has good performance, the phase transition temperature is too high, so that the microcapsule is obviously inconsistent with the drilling condition of a hydrate stratum, and the microcapsule cannot be utilized in the hydrate stratum.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an intelligent temperature-controlling microcapsule, which comprises a core material and a wall material coated on the outer surface of the core material, wherein the core material is obtained by mixing different normal alkanes; the wall material is nano silicon dioxide.

As can be seen from table 1: the microcapsules prepared in examples 1-6 have good compatibility with drilling fluids. The addition of the microcapsule has little influence on the density of the drilling fluid, and after standing for 72 hours, the density of the upper layer and the lower layer is not different, which shows that the microcapsule can be stably dispersed in the drilling fluid. The intelligent temperature control microcapsule provided by the invention can be applied to the hydrate formation, and one of the keys lies in that the intelligent temperature control microcapsule has good compatibility with the conventional drilling fluid of the hydrate formation, which shows that the microcapsule prepared by the invention can be added into the drilling fluid.
Test example 2
And (3) testing the temperature control effect of the microcapsules:
0g, 1g, 3g, 5g of the microcapsules prepared in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were fully dispersed in 100g of deionized water at a temperature of 2 ℃ to prepare microcapsule systems having concentrations of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%. After the refrigeration capacity of the microcapsules was sufficiently stored, the temperature of the system was raised to 14 ℃, the electromagnetic heating stirrer was turned on to simulate the cutting heat released from the drill, and the temperature change with time was measured, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003758298670000131
In addition, temperature measurement shows that the trend of the temperature rise of the system is obviously slowed down along with the increase of the content of the microcapsule, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the temperature control effect curve of the intelligent temperature control microcapsule prepared in example 1 of the present invention at different concentrations; the temperature rise amplitude of the group with microcapsule content of 5% is the lowest, after half an hour, compared with the control group added with 0% of microcapsules (the temperature increase of 0% of microcapsules after 30min is 6.54 ℃), the temperature increase of 1% is reduced by 0.45 ℃, the temperature increase of 3% is reduced by 1.41 ℃, and the temperature increase of 5% is reduced by 2.32 ℃, which indicates that the microcapsules have better temperature regulation performance.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, many simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable way, and these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the disclosure of the invention, and all fall within the scope of the invention.
