  • Patent number: 11959015
    Abstract: Disclosed are a double-response self-degradable temporary plugging agent and a preparation method thereof. The double-response self-degradable temporary plugging agent is prepared by compounding a crosslinkable monomer with a temperature-sensitive degradability and an inorganic material with an acid solubility with a first monomer, a dispersant, an initiator and water, and subjecting the resulting mixture to a polymerization.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11891563
    Abstract: A pH-sensitive temporary plugging agent and its preparation method, and the use thereof in exploitation of a low-permeability oil reservoir are disclosed. The temporary plugging agent is prepared by raw materials including, in percentages by mass, 3-8% of carboxymethyl chitosan, 0.2-0.7% of gelatin, 0.1-0.6% of an initiator, 5-15% of a toughener, and a balance of water, wherein the initiator is a solution of AgNO3 in ammonia water having a concentration of 0.1-0.3 mol/L, and the toughener is a carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester.

  • Patent number: 11479714
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a profile control and oil displacement agent for an oil reservoir and a preparation method thereof. The profile control and oil displacement agent is prepared by uniformly dispersing polymer microspheres, an activator and a solvent. The polymer microspheres are micron-sized dry-powdered microspheres, which are prepared by stirring and polymerizing a first monomer, a second monomer, an initiator, a hydrophobic nano-powder and water in a specific proportion. The profile control and oil displacement agent of the present disclosure can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, has good long-term stability, simple preparation and low cost, avoids solvent waste, and can be applied to the deep profile control and oil displacement system of oil fields.

  • Publication number: 20220333000
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a temperature-responsive self-degradable temporary plugging agent and a preparation method thereof as well as its application in plugging the wellbore, which relates to the technical field of oilfield exploitation. The temporary plugging agent provided in the present disclosure includes preparation raw materials of the following mass percentages: monomer 4-6%, crosslinker 0.2-1%, initiator 0.02-0.06%, degradation catalyst 0.05-0.1%, chain transfer agent 0.01-0.05%, and the balance water. The temporary plugging agent of the present disclosure is liquid before gelling, with a low viscosity and a good fluidity, and easy to be pumped. When being pumped into the wellbore, the temporary plugging agent may crosslink at the temperature of the reservoir section, with good gelling properties. At the end of the operations, it can be degraded by itself, without drilling tools, with no need for gel breaking, and with no need for additional degradation promoters.
