Abstract
Because of their small particle size, excellent stability, high temperature tolerance, and salt tolerance, polymer nanoparticles are attracting a lot of attention in low-permeability reservoirs. In this study, SiO2, acrylamide (AM), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) were used to synthesize novel copolymer-grafted nano-silica particles (HPGN). HPGN’s overall performance in low-permeability reservoirs was evaluated. The results demonstrate that the viscosity of a 2000 mg/L HPGN solution at 50 °C is 75.8 mPa·s, with high stability under high temperature, high salt, and shear conditions. More notably, the displacement experiment proved that under the condition of 18450 mg/L, a 2000 mg/L HPGN solution enhanced the recovery rate by 21.89%. This research indicates that HPGN has great applicability potential in low-permeability reservoirs with high temperatures and salinities.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils publishes reports on improvements in the processing of petroleum and natural gas and cracking and refining techniques for the production of high-quality fuels, oils, greases, specialty fluids, additives and synthetics. The journal includes timely articles on the demulsification, desalting, and desulfurizing of crude oil; new flow plans for refineries; platforming, isomerization, catalytic reforming, and alkylation processes for obtaining aromatic hydrocarbons and high-octane gasoline; methods of producing ethylene, acetylene, benzene, acids, alcohols, esters, and other compounds from petroleum, as well as hydrogen from natural gas and liquid products.
