Low permeability oil field pressure reduction and infusion nanowetting inverter SDKX-5848 technical manual
Wetting inverter is a substance that controls the wetting angle of 67°C-90°C by reducing surface tension or interface tension; allowing water to spread on the surface of solid materials or penetrate into its surface to wet the solid materials or make the solid materials more easily wet. Usually it is a surfactant in oil repellent system.
In oil reservoirs, the surface of the rock is usually lipophilic. By adding surfactant substances, the surface characteristics of the rock are reversed, and the lipophilicity becomes hydrophilic. Not only can the crude oil on the surface of the rock be peeled off, but the water-distance efficiency can also be improved and the recovery rate can be achieved. And this type of substance is a wetting inverter.
The molecular structure of the surfactant as a wetting inverter is composed of long-chain lipophilic groups and hydrophilic ionic groups. The compound molecules of this structure can be adsorbed in a directionally on the interface of the two phases in the solution, thereby changing the interface properties of the two phases. When the surfactant is dissolved into the solution, the amphiphilic groups will be distributed in the solution of the liquid/solid contact surface, the liquid/liquid interface and the body phase. When polar groups combine with the surface of minerals and rocks, they will destroy the crude oil boundary layer, freeing the crude oil bounded in the boundary layer and becoming flowable oil. Polar water molecules or hydrophilic groups will occupy the surface of the particles, thereby changing the surface of minerals and rocks from oil-wet to water-wet. At the same time, the oil-water interface tension decreases, crude oil emulsification, oil droplet aggregation and other phenomena occur, which will improve the crude oil recovery rate.
With the development of surfactants, the research on surfactivity of twin connections has developed rapidly in recent years. Twin surfactants are called the next generation of surfactants because they are completely different from conventional surfactants, which are like two conventional surfactants twinned. It is precisely because of its unique structure that it has unique properties, such as very low cmc (Critical Micelle Concentration) value, good table/interface activity, good water solubility and strong salt resistance. Therefore, twin surfactants have broad application prospects.
The new and efficient wetting inverter is alkanolamide long-chain fatty acid-based twin surfactant prepared using resource-rich natural renewable oils as raw materials. Long-chain fatty acid alkanolamide made of natural raw materials is a branched and non-cyclic structure, with good biodegradability, and is an environmentally friendly surfactant with low pollution and good safety in use. It has ultra-low interfacial tension characteristics. At the same time, due to its certain carbon number distribution, it is more suitable for compatibility with alkalis and polymers than single-component products. It is an ideal surfactant oil flooding agent for ternary and binary composite flooding. This type of surfactant has no cloud point and is very soluble with other types of surfactants. It is not an ionic state in solution, so it is very affected by ions in the formation and has a good salt resistance. In addition, the anionic surfactant has good oil repellency in the three oil productions, but it has severe losses during the flow process and its salt resistance is very poor. This fatty acid-based alkanolamide-based wetting inverter can just make up for these shortcomings, improve the system's salt resistance, and further reduce the oil-water interface tension.
As the requirements for environmental protection become increasingly high, countries around the world are vigorously advocating the use of surfactants based on natural raw materials. In the petroleum industry, the impact of three oil production liquids on the ecological environment has also received great attention. Using oil crops such as soybeans and rapeseed, oily forest fruits such as oil dumplings and coptis chinensis, aquatic plants such as engineering microalgae, or natural renewable resources such as animal oils and waste catering oils as raw materials, we can synthesize surfactants that are compatible with the environment, have excellent ecology and have excellent performance. This surfactant has excellent biodegradability without branching and acyclic structure and is called an environmentally friendly surfactant.
The production process routes of fatty acid alkanolamide wetting inverter include fatty acid method and methyl ester method. The synthesis route is determined as a three-step process, one step: oil and fat transesterification reaction; two steps: synthesis of fatty acid alkanolamide; three steps: synthesis of fatty acid alkanolamide sulfate salt. Then react with 1,3-propane sulfonate lactone to obtain a series of sulfonate twin-type wetting inverters of different carbon chain lengths and different coupling group lengths.

The new twin-type wetting inverter also has very good anti-divalent salt capabilities. As the molar concentration of calcium ions increases, the interfacial tension decreases linearly.
The twin surfactant we studied was only 1×10-5mol/L of cmc of C10-C2-C10, and the rest were between 1 and 5×10-6mol/L. The cmc of the twin-type wetting inverter is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding conventional surfactant.
4. Research on core simulation oil flooding
The evaluation test of oil-repellent damping inverter is carried out with reference to SY/T 5908-1994 (method for determining performance of petroleum sulfonate for oil-repellent flooding) and SY/T 6424-2000 (method for testing performance of oil-repellent flooding system). The test conditions are as follows:
