  • Patent number: 11952536
    Abstract: Disclosed is a carbon-dioxide-responsive self-thickening intelligent fluid based on supramolecular self-assembly, which comprises a Gemini surfactant, a single-chain amide molecule having a tertiary amine head group and water, wherein the Gemini surfactant and the single-chain amide molecule are self-assembled to form a vesicle structure dispersed in water, with a hydrophilic head group being located outside and a hydrophobic tail group located inside. The method for preparing the carbon-dioxide-responsive self-thickening intelligent fluid of the present invention is simple, the injection viscosity is low, and the fluid is converted into a gel when encountering carbon dioxide, so that the viscosity is greatly increased.

  • Patent number: 11802233
    Abstract: A permeability-enhancing flooding system for tight oil reservoirs and preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The permeability-enhancing flooding system is present in a state of oil-in-water droplet and composed of a surfactant, an oil-soluble substance and water, and has an outer phase that is an aqueous solution containing the surfactant, and an inner phase that is the oil-soluble substance; and the surfactant comprises one of nonionic gemini surfactants and anionic gemini surfactants, or a combination of two or more thereof. The preparation process for the permeability-enhancing flooding system is simple to operate, suitable for industrialized production, and low in overall cost, and has obvious application prospects in the field of tight oil reservoirs for an enhanced oil recovery.

  • Patent number: 7867952
    Abstract: Disclosed are a flexible polymer, particles made from same, and a process for preparing the particles. This flexible polymer is obtained from copolymerizing monomer (A) and monomer (B), wherein monomer (A) is one or more water-insoluble unsaturated diene monomers; monomer (B) is at least one compound with the general formula of wherein R is C1-C12alkyl, C1-C12 alkyl aryl, C1-C12 alkyl ether or C1-C12alkyl ester. Monomer (A) is in an amount of 60-90% by weight of the total combined weight of monomer (A) and monomer (B). Monomer (B) is in an amount of 10-40% by weight of the total combined weight of monomer (A) and monomer (B). The flexible polymer particles show excellent flexibility, deformability, elasticity as well as stability. They can be used in oilfields in nearby wellbore profile control and in-depth profile control or as in-depth flooding fluid diverting agents.
