Investigation of the Nonionic Acidizing Retarder AAO for Reservoir Stimulation
ACS omega(2023)
Abstract
In the process of matrix acidizing, reducing the reaction rate between hydrochloric acid and carbonate rock to increase oil and gas production has become one of the biggest challenges in reservoir stimulation. An adsorption film formed on rocks can effectively postpone the contact between the hydrogen ion and rock, which is of great significance in decreasing the rate of an acid-rock reaction. In this study, nonionic acidizing retarder AAO was synthesized by acrylamide, allyl poly(ethylene glycol), and octadecyl methacrylate. The structure of AAO was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry and H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR). The reaction of AAO retard acid and 20% hydrochloric acid with CaCO3 was studied at 50 degrees C, and the amount of CO2 generated at different times was recorded. The etching time of 0.8% AAO retard acid to CaCO3 could be up to 120 min, whereas 20% hydrochloric acid (without AAO) ended at 45 min, which showed that AAO had the potential to defer the acid-rock reaction. The adsorption behavior of AAO on CaCO3 matched the pseudo-second-order kinetic model well. Meanwhile, the addition of urea greatly reduced the adsorption amount of AAO on CaCO3, which showed that the hydrogen bond was the driving force for the adsorption process. Additionally, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the N element from acrylamide appeared on the surface of CaCO3 after adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that a smooth and dense thin film existed on the surface of CaCO3 treated with AAO retard acid. The change in the vibration peak of C=O from 1720 to 1650 cm(-1) indicated that the ester groups in AAO had been hydrolyzed, which was beneficial to film desorption and the reduction of reservoir damage. Therefore, this paper could help with research on carbonate acidizing for reservoir stimulation.
