Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of extracting petroleum from a subterranean oil deposit using a composition (Z) and to using the composition (Z) as a petroleum production agent.
  • natural petroleum reservoirs petroleum is generally present in the voids of porous reservoirs which are closed to the earth's surface by impermeable facings.
  • underground oil reservoirs generally contain more or less saline water.
  • cavities in which the petroleum is present it may be very fine cavities, capillaries, pores or the like.
  • the cavities may for example have a diameter of only one micrometer.
  • the water that is present in the underground oil reservoirs is also referred to as reservoir water or formation water.
  • the salinity of the formation water is often 5 to 20 wt .-%.
  • the dissolved salts may, for example, be alkali metal salts, but in some deposits the formation water also contains relatively high levels of alkaline earth ions, for example up to 5% by weight of calcium ions and / or magnesium ions.
  • primary production after sinking the well into the subterranean deposit, the petroleum automatically streams to the surface through the borehole due to the inherent natural pressure of the oil reservoir.
  • the autogenous pressure of the oil reservoir can be caused, for example, by gases present in the reservoir, such as methane, ethane or propane.
  • primary oil production can usually only produce 5 to 10% of the oil in the deposit. Thereafter, the autogenous pressure of the oil reservoir is no longer sufficient to recover oil from the underground oil reservoir by the primary oil production.
  • the secondary oil production is used.
  • additional drilling will be drilled (drilled) in the oil reservoir.
  • production wells are used to extract oil from the underground oil reservoir to the surface.
  • injection wells water is injected into the oil reservoir to maintain or increase the pressure of the underground oil reservoir.
  • the oil is slowly pushed through the cavities of the underground Erdöllager GmbH starting from the injection hole in the direction of the production bore.
  • the oil from the underground oil reservoir comes into the production well and is promoted to the surface, for example by means of pumps.
  • this method of secondary oil production works only as long as the cavities of the underground oil reservoir are completely filled with petroleum and the viscous petroleum is displaced by the water injected through the injection well compared to water. This state is shown by way of example in FIG.
  • FIG. 1 shows the state after the implementation of secondary methods for producing oil.
  • the injected water has displaced the petroleum (2) from the lower area of the cavity (3).
  • the low-viscosity water therefore flows through the lower portion of the cavity (3) in Figure 2.
  • the water takes the path of least resistance. It thus flows through the channel formed in the lower part of the cavity (3) of the underground Erdöllager Maschinen. From then on, the injected water will no longer displace oil but will flow from the injection well through the underground oil reservoir to the production well. From the production well then essentially only the injected water is promoted. This condition is also known as water breakthrough.
  • Tertiary oil production includes, for example, heat processes in which hot water or superheated steam is injected into the crude oil deposit. As a result, the viscosity of the petroleum is reduced. In addition, gases such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen can be used as flooding media for tertiary mineral oil production.
  • Tertiary oil production also includes processes that use suitable chemicals as auxiliaries for oil production. These can be used to influence the situation towards the end of secondary oil production, for example by flooding, and thereby also to extract crude oil, which until then has been stored in the underground oil reservoir in the cavities (3).
  • ⁇ represents the viscosity of the oil mobilizing fluid
  • v the Darcy velocity (flow per unit area)
  • ⁇ the interfacial tension between the petroleum mobilizing liquid and the petroleum
  • ⁇ the contact angle between petroleum and the rock of the underground oil reservoir (1).
  • the capillary number is, for example, in C. Melrose, CF Brandner, J. Canadian Petr. Techn. 58, Oct.-Dec. 1974, described. The higher the capillary number (N c ), the greater the mobilization of the oil and thus also the degree of extraction of the underground oil reservoir.
  • the capillary number (N c ) is generally in the range of approximately 10 -6 .
  • the capillary number (N c ) In order to mobilize additional petroleum from the underground oil reservoir, the capillary number (N c ) must be about 10 -3 to 10 -2 increase.
  • surfactant flooding This technique is also known as "surfactant flooding.”
  • Surfactants for example, which can lower the interfacial tension ⁇ to values of ⁇ 10 "2 mN / m are suitable.
  • the surrounding rock (1) of the underground oil reservoir is generally hydrophobic. That is, the oil present in the subterranean crude oil deposit preferably attaches itself to the surrounding rock (1) of the subterranean crude oil deposit.
  • FIG. 3a The state towards the end of the secondary oil production is shown here by way of example in FIG. 3a.
  • the oil (2) wets the rock surface (1).
  • FIG. 3 shows by way of example the behavior of the petroleum (2) when the rock layer (1) is hydrophilized.
  • FIG. 3 a shows the state of a largely hydrophobic rock layer (1).
  • FIG. 3e shows the state after the rock layer (1) has been converted by suitable chemicals into one of hydrophilic character.
  • Figures 3b to 3d show the intermediate steps in converting the character of the rock (1) from hydrophobic character to hydrophilic character.
  • the petroleum (2) contained in underground oil reservoirs generally has a boundary layer (2a) surrounding the petroleum (2).
  • This boundary layer (2a) is thus located between the petroleum phase (2) and the phase of the flood medium.
  • the boundary layer (2a) generally contains high molecular weight hydrocarbons, tars, asphaltenes, heteroaromatic compounds and mineral particles with a colloidal dispersity.
  • the boundary layer (2a) generally has a gel-like consistency with high viscosity.
  • the boundary layer (2a) thus interposes a mechanical barrier
  • the boundary layer (2a) thus hinders the above-described processes and effects for tertiary mineral oil production.
  • the boundary layer (2a) is shown by way of example in FIG.
  • the hydroxyl ion has been found to be most effective.
  • the number of negative charges in the surrounding rock (1) is increased and the number of adsorption centers capable of forming hydrogen bonds is reduced.
  • the hydrophilicity of the surrounding rock (1) must be increased and iii) the boundary layer (2a), which is located on the surface of the petroleum (2), must be destructured or destroyed.
  • alkaline surfactant solutions are described as flours for tertiary mineral oil production.
  • a pH of 9.0 to 10.5 has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • colloidal suspensions of clay minerals which may be contained in the boundary layer (2a) have the lowest viscosity in this pH range of 9.0 to 10.5.
  • alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as calcium hydroxide and / or magnesium hydroxide are readily soluble in the pH range in the range from 9.0 to 10.5, so that precipitation of alkaline earth metal hydroxides from the formation or flood water present in the underground oil reservoir is largely prevented.
  • pH values of> 10.5 calcium or magnesium hydroxides precipitate out of the formation or flood water.
  • the cavities (3) can be blocked in the underground Erdöllageriere GmbH.
  • flooding agent alkaline solutions which have a large buffer capacity in the pH range from 9 to 10.5. This ensures that the pH of the flooding agent in the range of 9.0 to 10.5 is stable over larger concentration ranges.
  • the flooding medium receives a pH in the range of 9.0 to 10.5, even if it is diluted in the underground Erdöllager Maschinen by already existing formation water.
  • buffer solutions which have a high buffer capacity in the advantageous pH range of 9 to 10.5. These include, for example, polyphosphate (tripolyphosphate) buffer, silicate buffer, ammonia buffer and borate buffer.
  • the tripolyphosphate buffer is not suitable for use in oil reservoirs with temperatures of> 50 ° C.
  • the tripolyphosphate system hydrolyzes rapidly at these temperatures, forming trisodium polyphosphate, which leads to insoluble precipitates with calcium, magnesium and iron ions contained in the formation water and / or flood water.
  • the silicate buffer system is associated with technical difficulties, since sodium silicate is also hydrolyzed and prone to polycondensation.
  • a flocculant system containing sodium tetraborate is described.
