Problems solved by technology

[0004] In practical applications, due to the use of a large amount of strong alkali, there are some negative problems: alkali consumption and scaling, reservoir damage, reduction of displacement fluid viscosity, oil-water emulsification, etc., which seriously increase the difficulty and economic cost of the produced fluid. , seriously affect the lifting process of oil recovery and severely corrode equipment, so the use of alkali, especially strong alkali, should be avoided in composite flooding
However, the synthesis route of this type of surfactant is more complicated, the economic cost is higher, and the process route needs to be improved.

Abstract

The invention relates to a betaine surfactant and a preparation method and application thereof. The betaine surfactant is shown as a formula I, wherein the m is 0 or a positive integer, the n is 0 or a positive integer, the m and the n cannot be 0 simultaneously, the R1 is hydrogen (H) or alkyl, the R2 is H or alkyl, the R3 is alkyl and the R4 is alkyl. The invention further provides a preparation method of the betaine surfactant and application of the betaine surfactant in tertiary oil recovery as a surfactant of a binary compound oil-displacing agent. The betaine surfactant has strong temperature resistance, mineralization resistance and dilution resistance and wide application prospect in the field of the tertiary oil recovery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of surfactants, in particular to betaine surfactants and their preparation methods and applications. Background technique [0002] At present, my country's main oil fields (Daqing, Shengli, Liaohe, etc.) have entered the late stage of secondary oil recovery, and the main characteristics are high water cut and extremely high water cut. In order to improve the recovery rate of existing oil fields, the development and application of tertiary oil recovery technology is imperative Row. [0003] Chemical composite flooding technology is a new technology for tertiary oil recovery developed in the 1980s. It is characterized by the use of organic composites of alkali, surfactants and polymers to exert the synergistic effect of each component. Significantly reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, improve the microscopic oil displacement efficiency, and at the same time increase the viscosity of the displacement fluid, which h...
