摘要

To solve the problem of unloading liquid of deep gas well with high gas temperature and salinity, high concentrations of H2S gas and condensate oil, a nanoparticle foam unloading agent was developed and evaluated, and the field test was carried out. The liquid phase foam unloading agent was prepared by blending high temperature resistant anionic surfactant, high salinity and H2S resistant zwit-terionic surfactant and the condensate oil resistant fluorocarbon surfactant. The nanoparticle foam unloading agent was developed by introducing silane coupling agent modified nano silica spheres into the liquid phase foam unloading agent as the solid foam stabilizer. The property of nanoparticle foam unloading agent was studied through lab experiment, and the results show that: the agent has temperature resistance as high as 150 degrees C, salinity resistance up to 250 g/L, H2S resistance up to 0.04%, condensate oil resistance up to 30%, which proves high foaming ability and foam stabilizing ability. The optical microscope and zeta potential results show that: the mechanism of enhancing the property of liquid phase foam unloading agent by nanoparticles lies in the fact that the nanoparticles can adsorb onto the gas-water interface to form a solid particle film, and it has the best foam stabilizing effect at the modified nano-silica sphere concentration of about 0.002%. The field test results show that: the agent has steady performance, meets the site construction requirements, and can improve the water drainage - gas recovery efficiency in gas well and reduce the cost.
