Interaction Between the Hydrophobically Modified Polyacrylamide and HPAM-Flooding Produced Liquid

In order to utilize the produced liquid of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) flooding to enhance oil recovery, the interaction between hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HMPAM) and the produced liquid of HPAM flooding was investigated. The viscous characteristic of HMPAM in aqueous solution was investigated by Ubbelohde viscometer. The results show the intrinsic viscosity of HMPAM in aqueous solution is higher than that of HPAM, indicating that HMPAM has better effect on increasing the viscosity of aqueous solution. The viscosity of the complex system consisted of HMPAM and the produced liquid from HPAM flooding is lower than that of the HMPAM system, but higher than that of the HMPAM/HPAM complex system in mineralized water. In order to investigate the major factor of the influence on the viscosity of the HMPAM/produced liquid complex system, the viscosities of HMPAM/HPAM (and hydrolyzed HPAM with different hydrolysis degree) in distilled water and in mineralized water were studied. The fluorescence spectrum and transmission electron microscopy measurements were carried out to investigate the interaction between HPMAM and produced liquid from a microscopic perspective. These results are useful for farther enhancing oil recovery after HPAM flooding.     

Rheological properties and enhanced oil recovery performance of a novel sulfonate polyacrylamide

A novel hydrosoluble sulfonate copolymer (SPAM) containing sulfonic acid groups was synthesized under mild conditions with Acrylamide (AM), 2-(Dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as monomers by segmentation initiation with 2,2'-azobis[2-methylpropionamidine] dihydrochloride and redox initiation system, respectively. The structures of copolymers were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The rheological properties of the copolymer solution at different shear rate, temperature and salt concentration were investigated. The shear-tolerance, temperature-tolerance and salt-tolerance of the novel synthetic hydrosoluble sulfonate copolymer are improved remarkably compared with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). The synthetic copolymer solution possesses a higher viscosity retention rate (53.3%) than HPAM (35.3%) at the total salinity of 20000 mg/L when temperature changed from 30°C to 99°C. The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) of the synthetic copolymer was performed by core flood, and the EOR degree of the synthetic copolymer in the 20000 mg/L salt solution at 80°C was better than that of HPAM. Compared with HPAM flooding, the EOR with the synthetic copolymer flooding was increased by 6.8% at 80°C.     

Novel self‐assembling polymeric system based on a hydrophobic modified copolymer: formulation,rheological characterization,and performance in enhanced heavy oil recovery

This work presents the chemical formulation and rheological properties of a novel self‐assembling polymer (SAP) system derived from a hydrophobically modified sulfonated polyacrylamide (HMSPAM). This polymeric association was established through complexation between the pendant hydrophobic groups contained in HMSPAM and β‐cyclodextrin molecules. The new SAP system offers improved viscoelastic properties because of the “interlocking effect” of the hydrophobic groups into β‐cyclodextrin cavities. It also provides suitable reformability upon mechanical shear when compared to the base HMSPAM. Furthermore, SAP exhibits superior tolerance to elevate brine salinity and hardness, as well as high reservoir temperature. Sandpack flooding tests conducted at simulated reservoir conditions (Pelican Lake reservoir, Alberta, Canada) indicate that this system shows superior mobility control (resistance factor) compared to HMSPAM. It also shows potential as in situ permeability modifier, which makes this polymeric system particularly suitable for heavy oil recovery applications. For instance, the newly developed SAP produced 20% more incremental heavy oil recovery if compared to the performance of the commonly used partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and 7% more incremental oil recovery than the baseline HMSPAM at the same experimental conditions. Overall, this new self‐assembly system shows potential for applications in heavy oil recovery. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Coreflooding and Pore-Scale Visualization of Foamed Gel Flowed in Porous Network Media

To investigate the mechanisms of enhancing oil recovery and the flow behaviors of foamed gel in porous media, foamed gels with characteristics of excellent strength and viscosity were prepared with polymer, crosslinking agent, foam agent, and formation water. The breakthrough-vacuum method and a rotary viscometer were used to evaluate the strength and viscosity of foamed gel. Coreflooding and pore-level visualization experiments were performed in heterogeneous reservoir models. Laboratory results illustrate that high strength and viscosity of foamed gel can be prepared by 0.15% NJ-8, 0.2% polyacrylamide solution, and 1.5% foaming agent. The strength and viscosity of the foamed gel reached 0.06 MPa and 10,000 MPa · s, respectively. The results of coreflooding experiments in heterogeneous cores show that oil recovery can be improved by approximately 36.9% after injecting 0.3 pore volume of the foamed gel, and enhanced oil recovery is mainly attributed to the improving sweep efficiency of mid- to low-permeability layers. Images of visualization flooding demonstrate that foamed gel exhibits good oil resistance and elasticity when used with crude oil. Furthermore, the new amoeba effect, Jamin effect, fluid-diverting effect, and extruding effect between foamed gel and oil in porous media can enhance oil recovery by improving sweep efficiency.     

Enhanced heavy oil recovery by organic alkali combinational flooding solutions

Although alkaline/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding is successfully applied in oil fields, some disadvantages such as scales, corrosion effects, and viscosity reductions of polymer solutions appear. Usage of organic alkalis can avoid or decrease these disadvantages. In this paper, the physicochemical properties, including interfacial tension (IFT), and viscosity, of organic alkali combinational flooding solutions and their effectiveness as enhanced oil recovery agents are investigated. Monoethanolamine (MEA) is the optimal one for decreasing the IFT among the three organic alkalis studied in this paper. Although MEA cannot decrease the IFT as low as NaOH does, it has good compatibility with both surfactant and the polymer hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). MEA not only helps a surfactant solution or HPAM/surfactant mixture attain ultralow IFT values, but can also promote better viscosity stability for HPAM or HPAM/surfactant solutions compared to NaOH. Moreover, core flood experiments show that adding MEA can obtain additional tertiary oil recovery of 6%–10% original oil in place (OOIP) on the top of HPAM or HPAM/surfactant flooding, although MEA has a lower enhanced oil recovery than NaOH. The experimental results show that MEA is a good choice to replace NaOH in enhancing heavy oil recovery.     

Study of surfactant-polymer system containing a novel ternary sulfonated polyacrylamide on the oil-water interface properties

A novel ternary sulfonated polyacrylamide was synthesized using 2,2′-azobis[2- methylpropionamidine] dihydrochloride and redox initiation system as initiator, respectively. The competitive adsorption of the ternary sulfonated polyacrylamide (TSPAM) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) on the oil-water interface was investigated by equilibrium interfacial tension, interfacial viscoelasticity, zeta potendial and interfacial film strength. The SDBS molecules in the surfactant-polymer (SP) system preferentially adsorb on the oil-water interface due to the amphiphilic structure of the SDBS molecules. Electrostatic force between the charged groups of the polyacrylamide and the head groups of surfactant adsorbed on the interface in the SP system leads to the formation of the complex interface film, which is helpful to enhance the stability of the oil-water interface. The ternary sulfonated polyacrylamide (TSPAM) has a similar influence on the other interface properties with SDBS except the interfacial tension. The interfacial tension decreases and then increases with increasing of the TSPAM concentration due to the competitive adsorption of the TSPAM molecules and the SDBS molecules on the oil-water interface. Moreover, TSPAM has the more influence on the stability of oil-water interface than partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) in the SP system, and the addition of TSPAM is better to improve the stability of emulsion in the SP flooding.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Property Evaluation of a Hydrophobically Modified Polyacrylamide as Enhanced Oil Recovery Chemical

A novel hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide p(AM/NaA/OP-10-AC/BOAM) was successfully synthesized via an aqueous micellar copolymerization method from acrylamide (AM), sodium acrylate (NaA), octylphenol polyoxyethylene acrylate (OP-10-AC), and small amounts of N-benzyl-N-octylacrylamide (BOAM), with the aim of investigating the copolymer's rheological behaviors under various conditions such as polymer concentration, shearing, temperature, and salinity. The copolymer was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscope. Scanning electron micrographs show large aggregates in solution formed by the association from the hydrophobic groups of the copolymer. Compared with partially hydrolyzed polyacryamide (HPAM), the copolymer shows a much higher thickening capability and a much greater ability to resist shearing, heat, and salts. This good property of the copolymer is attributed to its three-dimensional dimensional network structure. According to the core flooding test, it can be obtained that oil recovery is enhanced about 4.3% by the copolymer flooding contrasted to the HPAM flooding in mid-low permeability cores under conditions of 1500 mg/L of polymers and 45°C. All the results prove that the copolymer has the capability of increasing oil recovery by improving waterflood sweep efficiency in high-salinity reservoirs.     

Kinetic behavior in self-assembly process of associative polymer solutions

Using associative polymers with different micro-block length (N_H), their kinetic behaviors in the self-assembly process have been discussed with steady flow, step shear rate and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments. The results showed that the N_H is the most important parameter to affect rheology of associative polymers, and the equilibrium time and viscosity recovery are an obvious difference from seconds to hours after violent pre-shearing. With DLS data, the hydrophobic micro-zone size is always a polydispersion distribution, and gradually concentrated three scales of size, the associative polymers with higher N_H values have a longer time to reach equilibrium state. The kinetic behavior of associative polymers has a greater potential to apply in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) field, we conclude that the polymers with medium associative strength have a smaller shear thinning index and higher viscosity recovery, and may satisfy the polymer flooding requirements of displacement efficiency and injectivity.     

Experimental Research on NO2 Viscosity and Absorption for (1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoroacetate + Triethanolamine) Binary Mixtures

The viscosity (9.34–405.92 mPa·s) and absorption capacity (0.4394–1.0562 g·g⁻¹) of (1-ethyl-3-methylidazolium trifluoroacetate + triethanolamine) binary blends atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 303.15–343.15 K and at different mole fractions of [EMIM] [TFA] have been carried out. The molar fraction of [EMIM] [TFA] dependence of the viscosity and absorption capacity was demonstrated. The addition of a small amount of [EMIM] [TFA] into TEA led to rapidly decreased rates of binary blends’ viscosity and absorption capacity. However, the viscosity and absorption of binary blends did not decrease significantly when [EMIM] [TFA] was increased to a specific value. Compared with the molar fraction of the solution, the temperature had no obvious effect on viscosity and absorption capacity. By modeling and optimizing the ratio of viscosity and absorption capacity of ([EMIM] [TFA] + TEA), it is proven that when the mole fraction of [EMIM] [TFA] is 0.58, ([EMIM] [TFA] + TEA) has the best viscosity and absorption capacity at the same time. In addition, at 303.15 K, ([EMIM] [TFA] + TEA) was absorbed and desorbed six times, the absorption slightly decreased, and the desorption increased.
