Problems solved by technology

The currently commonly used plugging agents have the following problems: (1) The plugging agent is not selective enough to block water, but at the same time the oil production is also reduced, and the economic benefit is poor
(2) It is difficult for the plugging agent to enter the deep part, the strength of the plugging agent is weak, it is prone to vomiting or the plugging strength is not high, the validity period is short, and the water plugging effect is not ideal
(3) The applicable reservoir chemical environment of plugging agent is narrow
The invention patent "A Heavy Oil Emulsion Phase-Inverting Profile Control Water Plugging Agent" (Application No. 201510535437.X) also uses heavy oil that does not damage the oil layer as the main material, and prepares an oil-in-water emulsion, which is reversed after reaching the formation. Phase plugging, but limestone powder is used as a stabilizer, which reduces the stability of placement. At the same time, there are many types of emulsifiers and phase inversion agents, which increases the cost

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of oilfield development technologies, and in particular relates to an oil-in-water emulsion for horizontal well water plugging and a preparation method of the oil-in-water emulsion. The emulsion is prepared from the following preparation materials in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of thickened oil, 60-70 parts of deionized water, 0.1-0.2 part of a water-soluble surfactant, 0.2-0.3 part of an oil-soluble surfactant and 0.1-0.2 part of a stabilizer. The emulsion disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost, low initial viscosity and simplicity in injection; the coated high-viscosity thickened oil phase is released after demulsification or phase inversion, or a viscous oil-in-water phase is further formed, so that the water outlet is subjected to safety plugging; the plugging agent is high in selectivity, is inversed with highly mineralized water to become viscous for plugging, and is invariable when meeting oil. The product disclosed by the invention has the initial viscosity of being lower than 10 mPa.s, the plugging rate is 85% or higher, and the water plugging effect is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil field development technology, in particular to an oil-in-water emulsion for water plugging of horizontal wells and a preparation method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] Water plugging technology is to inject plugging agent into the oil well to block the water outlet channel, reduce the ineffective oil recovery of the oil well and the water content of the produced oil. Horizontal wells increase the length of the wellbore in the production layer and the drainage area, and can develop oil reservoirs under low pressure difference, increase the rate of reservoir and fracture encounters, effectively solve the problems faced in the development of oil and gas fields, and achieve "sparse wells with high production" "the goal of. One of the most important problems is that because the wellbore of the horizontal well is parallel to the oil reservoir, it is easy to produce a large amount of water in the horiz...
