Synthesis and Characterization of a Resin/Acrylamide-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane Sulfonate-Diallyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride--vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone Polymer Microcapsule Gelling Agent for Oil and Gas Field Transformation.

Deep carbonate rock oil and gas reservoir is an important support for increasing oil and gas storage and production at present. The environment of ultradeep and ultrahigh-temperature reservoirs has put forward higher technical requirements for reservoir modification acid technology. Moreover, gelling acid is the main acid solution for high-temperature reservoir acidizing transformation, with a temperature resistance of no more than 180 °C, and the gelling agent is one of the key factors restricting its high-temperature resistance performance. In this paper, AM, AMPS, DMDAAC, and NVP were used as monomers, oxidants, and reducing agents to prepare a high-temperature-resistant polymer gel through polymerization. At the same time, microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization using epoxy resin as the wall material. The indoor performance evaluation results indicate that the gelling agent is easily soluble in high-concentration acid solution and has good viscosity increasing effect. At 180 °C and 170 s shear rate, 0.8% mass fraction of the gelling agent was dissolved in 20% mass fraction of hydrochloric acid. After shearing for 60 min, the viscosity remained at about 22.45 mPa·s, demonstrating good temperature resistance and shear resistance, and its performance was superior to existing commonly used gelling agent products.
