The efficiency of mechanical methods in controlling water production and fine migration in reservoirs has been limited, prompting researchers to focus on developing more resilient chemical methods. However, the challenge lies in the limited resistance and stability of these chemical methods in harsh reservoir conditions. To address this challenge, a study evaluated a dual crosslinker polyethyleneimine compound as a double crosslink in hydrogel composite structures. Using FTIR techniques, the study examined the structure of hydrogel compounds with single and double crosslinkers. Microscopic imaging, including SEM and ESEM analyses, provided insights into sample morphology. Equilibrium swelling and rheological tests assessed the hydrogels' three-dimensional structure and solvent retention capacity, while TGA determined sample stability. The study confirmed chemical bond formation between double crosslinkers via FTIR analysis. SEM and ESEM images displayed a porous, homogeneous, three-dimensional structure. The increase in pore size in the swollen state without tearing highlighted the hydrogel's elastic and self-healing properties. TGA revealed reduced weight loss with double crosslinking at 120 °C. Strain sweep and frequency sweep tests demonstrated enhancements in critical strain and frequency with the dual crosslinker, supporting the sample's viscoelastic behavior. The hydrogel with a single crosslink maintained linear viscoelastic behavior up to 85 °C, while the dual crosslinked sample retained it up to 200 °C, suitable for high-temperature conditions. Swelling tests confirmed the sample's ability to absorb 2000% of water under reservoir conditions. Sandpack compressive strength testing indicated a fivefold increase in strength with the dual crosslinked hydrogel composite, effectively preventing fine migration.
机械方法在控制油藏产水和精细运移方面的效率有限,这促使研究人员将重点放在开发更具弹性的化学方法上。然而,挑战在于这些化学方法在恶劣储层条件下的抗性和稳定性有限。为了解决这一挑战,一项研究评估了双交联剂聚乙烯亚胺化合物作为水凝胶复合结构中的双交联剂。利用红外光谱技术,研究了具有单交联剂和双交联剂的水凝胶化合物的结构。显微成像,包括SEM和ESEM分析,提供了对样品形态的见解。平衡膨胀和流变测试评估了水凝胶的三维结构和溶剂保留能力,而TGA测试了样品的稳定性。研究通过红外光谱分析证实了双交联剂之间的化学键形成。SEM和ESEM图像显示多孔,均匀,三维结构。在没有撕裂的肿胀状态下,孔隙大小的增加突出了水凝胶的弹性和自愈特性。热重分析显示,在120°C时,双交联减少了重量损失。应变扫描和频率扫描测试表明,双交联剂增强了临界应变和频率,支持了样品的粘弹性行为。单交联的水凝胶在85°C下保持线性粘弹性,而双交联的水凝胶在200°C下保持线性粘弹性,适用于高温条件。膨胀测试证实,在储层条件下,样品能够吸收2000%的水。砂堆抗压强度测试表明,双交联水凝胶复合材料的强度提高了5倍,有效地防止了细颗粒的运移。

During workover operations in high-pressure gas wells, heavy mud losses may occur, reducing gas production. Refracturing is an effective means to restore production. The influence of heavy mud loss on refracturing is still unclear. In this paper, split core is designed to simulate the fractures of the initial transformation, transparent sand-filled pipe is designed to simulate the sand filled fractures, and the experiment of heavy mud leakage in artificial fractures under different conditions is carried out by using the displacement device, combined with CT scanning and pressure monitoring means. The influence of heavy mud loss on permeability of artificial fracture, repeated reconstruction construction pressure and flow channel configuration in artificial fracture is analyzed. The results show that workover heavy mud (WHM) loss has the greatest permeability damage to the proppant fracture packed with large particle size, up to 97%, and the fracture permeability damage of 40/70 mesh ceramsite packing is only 0.3%–0.7%. Slit core permeability damage is the least, and the decrease range is 10%–20%. The damage of matrix core permeability measured by gas is no less than 60%. Before and after the loss of WHM, the injection pressure increases significantly, up to 80 times. Combined with the CT scan results, it is found that after WHM loss, the nitrogen blowout and refracturing incompletely remove the pollution, and there is a “pollution cage” in the fracture, which is the main reason for the high construction pressure of refracturing and low production after refracturing. The research results provide theoretical basics for the refracturing of WHM loss wells.
在高压气井的修井作业中,可能会发生严重的泥浆漏失,从而降低产气量。重复压裂是恢复生产的有效手段。大量泥浆漏失对重复压裂的影响尚不清楚。本文采用裂心模拟裂缝初始变形,采用透明充砂管模拟充砂裂缝,采用驱替装置,结合CT扫描和压力监测手段,进行了不同条件下人工裂缝重泥浆泄漏实验。分析了大量泥浆漏失对人工裂缝渗透率、重复改造施工压力和人工裂缝内流道形态的影响。结果表明,修井重泥浆(WHM)漏失对大粒径支撑剂充填裂缝的渗透率损害最大,可达97%,而40/70目陶粒充填裂缝的渗透率损害仅为0.3% ~ 0.7%。裂隙岩心渗透率损害最小,降低幅度为10% ~ 20%。气体测量对基质岩心渗透率的破坏不小于60%。失WHM前后,注入压力显著升高,最高可达80倍。结合CT扫描结果发现,在WHM损失后,喷氮和重复压裂不能完全去除污染,裂缝中存在“污染笼”,这是重复压裂施工压力高、重复压裂后产量低的主要原因。研究结果为高含水率漏失井的重复压裂提供了理论依据。

Based on the drilling, logging and field analysis, this paper discusses the lithofacies paleogeography of the Ordovician and its petroleum potential in the Middle-Upper Yangtze Area, South China. Results show that Ordovician of the Middle-Upper Yangtze Region can be divided into Tongzi Formation, Honghuayuan Formation, Meitan Formation, Shizipu Formation, Pagoda Formation, Linxiang Formation and Wufeng Formation from bottom to top. During the Early Ordovician Tongzi Period and Honghuayuan Period (Tremadocian Stage), a carbonate rimmed platform developed in the study area with lots of grain shoals in Guangyuan-Weiyuan Areas and Lichuan-Tongzi Areas of Southeastern Sichuan Basin. To the Meitan Period (Floian and Dapingian and Early Darriwilian Stage), a mixed carbonate platform with clastic sedimentary rock deposition developed in study area. In Middle-late Ordovician Shizipu and Linxiang-Pagoda Period (Late Darriwilian and Hirnantian-Sandbian Stage), a carbonate ramp developed in Middle-Upper Yangtze Region. At the end of the Ordovician (Hirnantian Stage), Wufeng Formation deposited in a retention basin due to the restriction of peripheral uplift and paleo-land. Two sets of reservoir-source assemblages developed in the Ordovician, with three sets of source rocks developed in the study area. First, the lower Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation acted as the main source rock, and the hydrocarbon migrated upward to the Ordovician reservoir along the fault. Second, the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation acted as source rock, and hydrocarbon migrated to the Lower Ordovician along the karst crust and the fault. Third, the Lower Ordovician Meitan-Shizipu Formation acted as source rock, hydrocarbon can migrate upward to the upper Ordovician reservoir directly, which deserves exploration attention.

Resins are a significant component of crude oil, distinct from asphaltenes, and play a crucial role in influencing both rheological properties and flow characteristics. Understanding resin behavior is particularly important in crude oil operations and offshore operations, where flow assurance challenges can arise. This review article focuses on the impact of resins on the flow and rheological properties of crude oil. It examines the various compositions of resins and the molecular interactions between resins and asphaltenes that determine the viscosity and stability of crude oil. The presence of high concentrations of resins in certain crude oils can complicate flow assurance and pipeline transportation. Recent advancements in chemical treatments and additive technologies have addressed these challenges. This review highlights emerging research areas and technologies aimed at improving the understanding of resin behavior under extreme conditions, such as high-pressure and high-temperature reservoirs. Through this comprehensive analysis, the review aims to provide valuable insights into the role of resins in crude oil flow, guiding future research and innovations in petroleum engineering.
树脂是原油的重要组成部分,不同于沥青质,在影响流变性能和流动特性方面起着至关重要的作用。在原油作业和海上作业中,了解树脂的行为尤为重要,因为在这些作业中会出现流动保障方面的挑战。本文综述了树脂对原油流动和流变性能的影响。它研究了树脂的各种组成以及树脂与沥青质的分子相互作用,这些相互作用决定了原油的粘度和稳定性。某些原油中存在高浓度的树脂会使流动保证和管道运输复杂化。最近化学处理和添加剂技术的进步解决了这些挑战。本文重点介绍了旨在提高对树脂在极端条件下(如高压和高温储层)行为理解的新兴研究领域和技术。通过这一综合分析,综述旨在为树脂在原油流动中的作用提供有价值的见解,指导未来石油工程的研究和创新。

Understanding the flow mechanisms between hydrocarbons and interfaces in nanopores is critical for fluid supply in tight reservoirs with huge reserves. In this paper, the nanoscale liquid-solid interface interaction potential is analyzed based on the molecular interface theory, and a new nanoscale fluid viscosity model is constructed through the Eyring model, and the fluid velocity and flow flux models in nanopores are derived based on the liquid-solid interface slip condition. In addition, n-pentane flow characteristics in quartz nanopores were investigated with key parameters including: the Hamaker constant, the decay length, the wetting angle, the boundary slip and the flux coefficient. The proposed model is validated in a comparison of theory, simulation and laboratory results. The study results show: (1) influenced by the liquid-solid interfacial effect, there is a viscosity gap between the fluid in the bulk and at the boundary, resulting in a non-linear variation of the flow velocity. Of the multiple microscopic forces considered by the model, Ligshitz-Van der Waals force has the strongest effect in confined pores below 40 nm, and electrostatic force has the weakest effect. When the pore diameter less than 10 nm, the constrained fluid viscosity was improved above 4 times. (2) based on the microscopic liquid-solid interface slip condition, a constrained space velocity model is derived, which indicates that the flow is directly dependent on the effective shear stresses on the fluid and the strength of the liquid-solid interface effect. Under the low shear stress in a tight reservoir, the slip at the liquid-solid interface has obvious linear characteristics, and the slip velocity depends on the effective shear stress. The liquid-solid interfacial effect parameter is increased from 1 to 30, and the slip velocity is reduced to 3.2 Å/ps, which is a 55% reduction. (3) in this paper, the hamaker constant of n-pentane-quartz interface based on the molecular spacing variation and the decay constant for different water types and solute concentrations are obtained, and the effect of the decay length on the flow coefficient of the nano confined flow model is explored for different pore radiuses. The flux coefficient increases with pore radius, and the effect of the decay length is greater for pores <100 nm.
了解纳米孔隙中油气与界面之间的流动机制对大储量致密储层的流体供应至关重要。本文基于分子界面理论分析了纳米级液固界面相互作用势,通过Eyring模型构建了新的纳米级流体粘度模型,并基于液固界面滑移条件推导了纳米孔内流体速度和流量模型。此外,研究了正戊烷在石英纳米孔中的流动特性,主要参数包括:Hamaker常数、衰减长度、润湿角、边界滑移和通量系数。通过理论、仿真和实验结果的比较,验证了该模型的有效性。研究结果表明:(1)受液固界面效应的影响,体内流体与边界处存在粘度间隙,导致流速呈非线性变化。在模型考虑的多种微观力中,在40 nm以下的密闭孔隙中,利希茨-范德华力的作用最强,静电力的作用最弱。当孔径小于10 nm时,约束流体粘度提高了4倍以上。(2)基于微观液固界面滑移条件,推导了约束空间速度模型,该模型表明流动直接取决于流体的有效剪切应力和液固界面效应的强度。致密储层在低剪应力条件下,液固界面滑移具有明显的线性特征,且滑移速度与有效剪应力有关。液固界面效应参数从1增加到30,滑移速度降低到3.2 Å/ps,降低了55%。(3)得到了基于分子间距变化的正戊烷-石英界面hamaker常数以及不同水类型和溶质浓度下的衰减常数,并探讨了不同孔隙半径下衰减长度对纳米密闭流动模型流动系数的影响。通量系数随孔隙半径的增大而增大,当孔隙为100 nm时,衰减长度的影响更大。

Phase change material microcapsules used for cooling of ultra-deep oil/gas and geothermal drilling fluids 用于冷却超深层油气和地热钻井液的相变材料微胶囊
IF 3.5 Q2 ENERGY & FUELS Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.petlm.2025.07.006

Phase-change material (PCM) has a high potential to cool the drilling fluids for ultra-deep oil/gas wells and geothermal wells to ensure efficient drilling and resource exploitation. Because PCM tends to agglomerate and seriously affect the properties of drilling fluid, it is necessary that the PCM is protected by a shell on its surface. In this study, a novel microencapsulated PCM (with a phase transition temperature of 130.5 °C) with a SiO2 protection shell were obtained by using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silicon source via a sol-gel process.

相变材料(PCM)在超深油气井和地热井的钻井液冷却方面具有很大的潜力,可以保证钻井和资源的高效开发。由于PCM容易结块,严重影响钻井液的性能,因此有必要在PCM表面加一层保护层。本研究以正硅酸四乙酯(TEOS)为硅源,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了一种具有SiO2保护壳的新型微封装PCM(相变温度为130.5℃)。PCM微胶囊的最佳合成比为3:4,具有优良的温血特性和光滑的外壳。加入5 wt%的PCM微胶囊,在130°C下进行精确的热捕获和温度控制,有效地将钻井液达到150°C的时间延迟了42.5%,提高了钻井液在高循环温度下的可操作性。研究结果可为PCM在超深油气井和地热井中的应用提供有益的见解和信息。

Hydraulic fracturing is a critical process in oil and gas extraction, particularly in high-temperature deep and ultra-deep reservoirs where traditional polymers like partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) fail due to poor heat resistance. This study introduces a novel hydrophobic associative water-soluble polymer (HAWSP), AASN, designed to overcome HPAM’s limitations. AASN is synthesized by copolymerizing a specially designed two-tailed hydrophobic monomer (C8NC12AM) with acrylamide, acrylic acid, and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), producing a polymer with excellent viscosity and thermal stability. Its unique structure, based on hydrophobic interactions among two-tailed monomers, forms a robust viscoelastic network in solution. This network is highly effective in transporting proppant during fracturing operations without the need for additional cross-linking agents, simplifying field application and reducing potential formation damage due to residue. Rheological tests show AASN maintains high viscosity and strong shear resistance at temperatures up to 140 °C. The study also examines its gel-breaking performance with different concentrations of ammonium persulfate, demonstrating easy degradation and low environmental impact after fracturing. The development of AASN significantly improves the performance of fracturing fluids and marks an important advancement in oilfield polymer technology. It offers a promising, heat-resistant alternative to current solutions, potentially transforming high-temperature hydraulic fracturing practices.
水力压裂是油气开采的关键工艺,特别是在高温深层和超深层油藏中,部分水解聚丙烯酰胺(HPAM)等传统聚合物由于耐热性差而失效。本研究介绍了一种新的疏水缔合水溶性聚合物(HAWSP), AASN,旨在克服HPAM的局限性。AASN是由一种特殊设计的双尾疏水单体(C8NC12AM)与丙烯酰胺、丙烯酸和2-丙烯酰胺-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)共聚而成,该聚合物具有优异的粘度和热稳定性。其独特的结构基于双尾单体之间的疏水相互作用,在溶液中形成坚固的粘弹性网络。该网络在压裂作业中非常有效地输送支撑剂,无需额外的交联剂,简化了现场应用,减少了残留对地层的潜在损害。流变试验表明,AASN在高达140°C的温度下保持高粘度和强抗剪切性。研究还考察了其在不同过硫酸铵浓度下的破胶性能,表明其易降解,压裂后对环境影响小。AASN的开发显著改善了压裂液的性能,标志着油田聚合物技术的重要进步。它为目前的解决方案提供了一种有前途的耐热替代方案,有可能改变高温水力压裂的做法。

This review presents a comprehensive and concise literature on microfluidic trends and developments in EOR. A particular focus is on the use of these platforms to assess oil recovery via chemical-based flooding methods, to understand the associated emulsification mechanisms, and to mimic subsurface morphology and mineralogy of reservoirs. Furthermore, an outlook on the advancement of microfluidics utilization in EOR applications is discussed, covering development efficient micro-scale separators, 3D printing, and Artificial Intelligence applications. Microfluidic platforms provide valuable insights into EOR processes, and ongoing advancements in microfluidics hold the potential to enhance oil recovery efficiency and optimize EOR techniques.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chemical dissolution on the properties of reservoirs by matrix acidizing, using synthetic carbonate rocks with and without fractures, prepared with limestone powder, epoxy resin (chemically inert) and fractures represented by non-woven geotextile strips positioned perpendicular to the fluid flow direction, to check their influence on the dissolution process. A system was developed using an acid injection cell to carry out acidizing tests, applying a solution of acetic acid and distilled water at constant pressure, to observe the organic acid-rock interaction for contact times of 36, 72 and 108 h. Chemical and petrophysical tests, as well as image analyses using X-ray micro-computed tomography were conducted to characterize the acidizing effects. Changes in rock properties were observed as the contact time increased, particularly the increase in porosity and permeability. Was observed the formation of CO2 and calcium acetate as reaction products between calcite and acid solution. Ramified wormhole and uniform dissolution patterns were noted; moreover, fractures influenced the dissolution in regions where they were inserted, increasing the branches present along their structure and deviating the fluid flow to a perpendicular direction to the injection direction, especially observed at 72 h, highlighting the use of geotextile as a material that reproduces the fractures' transmissivity in synthetic samples. The methodologies used contributed to presenting the effects of mineral dissolution on the properties of reservoir rocks post-stimulation, emphasizing the importance of chemical/petrophysical aspects and the contribution of fractures to better understand the matrix acidizing efficiency in field.
本研究旨在通过基质酸化评价化学溶蚀作用对储层物性的影响,采用含裂缝和不含裂缝的合成碳酸盐岩,用石灰石粉、环氧树脂(化学惰性)制备,裂缝以垂直于流体流动方向的无纺布土工布条为代表,考察其对溶蚀作用的影响。采用恒压乙酸和蒸馏水溶液,开发了一套酸化测试系统,在36、72和108小时的接触时间内,观察有机酸与岩石的相互作用。进行了化学和岩石物理测试,并使用x射线显微计算机断层扫描进行了图像分析,以表征酸化效果。随着接触时间的增加,观察到岩石性质的变化,特别是孔隙度和渗透率的增加。观察了方解石与酸溶液反应生成的CO2和乙酸钙。虫孔呈分枝状,溶解模式均匀;此外,裂缝影响了其插入区域的溶解,增加了沿其结构存在的分支,并使流体流向与注入方向垂直的方向,特别是在72 h时观察到的,突出了土工布作为一种材料在合成样品中复制裂缝的透射率。所使用的方法有助于展示矿物溶解对增产后储层岩石性质的影响,强调化学/岩石物理方面的重要性,以及裂缝的作用,以便更好地了解现场基质酸化效率。
