Abstract:

Polyacrylamide profile control agents have the problems of poor temperature resistance and rapid swelling at room temperature. Calcium alginate/Polyacrylamide (Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS)) microspheres were prepared by cross-linking Ca2+ with sodium alginate (SA) on the surface of microspheres to improve their properties. FT-IR, SEM, TEM, Nano Sizer and Zeta-potential Tester were used to analyze the structure, morphology and properties of the microspheres. The results showed that the average particle size of Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS) microspheres ranged from 47 nm to 92 nm at different SA mass fraction. When the mass fraction of SA was 8%, the swelling property of Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS) microspheres was the best. The swelling property of Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS) microspheres was 2.52 times at 20 ℃, which was 42% lower than that of P(AM-AMPS) microspheres. At 60 ℃, the swelling property of Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS) microspheres was 3.35 times, 52% higher than P(AM-AMPS) microspheres. The results show that Ca-SA/P(AM-AMPS) microspheres swell slowly at room temperature, and swell quickly at high temperature with a larger swelling, which can better match the injection profile control process and achieve efficient profile control and oil displacement.

Key words: water plugging and profile control, polyacrylamide, calcium alginate, delayed swelling
