Definitions
- the present invention provides compositions and methods for modifying the permeability of subterranean formations.
- the compositions and methods comprise injecting a dispersion of water swellable crosslinked polymer particles which are of much smaller size than that of the formation pores to affect the permeability of the formation. Methods of making the compositions ofthe present invention are also provided.
- Polyacrylamide gels crosslinked with chromium (+3) ions have also become popular.
- the polyacrylamide can be either a homopolymer or terpolymer.
- the crosslinking reactions are slow enough that the fluid can be easily placed in the reservoir before gelation occurs.
- the resulting viscous gel blocks or prevents further fluid flow through the highly permeable porous network or micro fractures in the matrix.
- the invention generally includes forming a dispersion of water swellable crosslinked polymer particles, adding the dispersion to a carrier fluid to form a treatment fluid, and injecting the treatment fluid into the subterranean formation.
- the particles are much smaller in size than that of the formation pore strictures, and upon injection, become trapped in the formation.
- the polymer particles swell in size, adsorb onto the formation, and restrict further water flow.
- compositions of the present invention comprise a vinylamide monomer, a monomer containing ammonium or quaternary ammonium moieties, and a crosslinking monomer.
- the compositions further comprise a monomer selected from vinylcarboxylic acids or salts of those acids or vinylsulfonic acids or salts of those acids.
- Methods for modifying the permeability of a subterranean formation comprise forming a dispersion of water swellable crosslinked polymer particles comprising the compositions of the invention, adding an inverting surfactant to the dispersion, adding the dispersion to a carrier fluid to form a treatment fluid, and injecting the treatment fluid into at least a portion of the subterranean formation.
- the polymer particles are made by invert polymer emulsion or microemulsion processes, and, thus, they are much smaller in size than that of the formation pore strictures. During injection into the well, the polymer particles become trapped in the formation.
- the particles which are amphoteric, adsorb onto formation material, forming a film the thickness of the particle diameter.
- Amphoteric polymers those containing both cationic and anionic charges, are known to adsorb onto formation material and form a film. Being very hydrophilic, the polymer film tends to strongly attract formation water and may cause some of the formation water to become immobilized. The water increases the tendency of polymer film swelling, and the continued swelling also increases the polymer film's size. The polymer film's attraction to water may also cause further flow impairment due to drag forces exerted on the water flowing through the pore stricture matrix. Ultimately, although drag forces are not strong enough to completely stop water flow, the particles bridge at pore strictures and restrict further fluid flow, impairing water production.
- the polymer particles will adsorb and film onto subterranean formation material, although the polymer particles, which are hydrophilic, will not attract oil. Because of this lack of fluid interaction, the polymer film will remain shrunken, and the impairment of hydrocarbon production will be minimized. This behavior allows the well operator to place the composition without the need of zone isolation or the fear of impairing hydrocarbon production.
- the problem of excessive size constraint is overcome by making the polymer particles by the invert polymer emulsion process. Using this process, polymer particles that are "super absorber-like," yet small enough to flow through reservoir pore strictures, can be made. Preferably, the particle size ranges between 0.05 ⁇ m and 1 ⁇ m.
- various hydrophilic monomers are used. In this disclosure, the term “monomer” refers to those molecules or compounds that are capable of forming a polymer upon combination with other like or similar molecules or compounds. The hydrophilic monomers may include both ionic and nonionic monomers.
- the polymer dispersion is prepared as an emulsion or microemulsion that comprises an aqueous phase and a hydrocarbon phase.
- Emulsion polymerization techniques are well known to those skilled in the art. Emulsion polymerization techniques are disclosed in Emulsion Polymers and Emulsion Polymerization, American Chemical Society (ACS) Symposium Series 165 (1981), which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the emulsion is formed when a hydrocarbon solvent (the hydrocarbon phase) is slowly poured into the rapidly stirred monomer solution (the aqueous phase), and the mixture is allowed to homogenize.
- the monomers After degassing and addition of a catalyst or an initiator, the monomers begin to chemically bond to one another and form high molecular weight polymers, forming a dispersion of solids or polymer particles dispersed in a liquid phase.
- a catalyst or an initiator After degassing and addition of a catalyst or an initiator, the monomers begin to chemically bond to one another and form high molecular weight polymers, forming a dispersion of solids or polymer particles dispersed in a liquid phase.
- emulsion and dispersion may be used interchangeably.
- the aqueous phase of the polymer dispersion comprises a monomer solution of two or more monomers.
- an anionic monomer such as acrylamide and a cationic monomer are used.
- the monomer solution is mixed with a hydrocarbon solvent through emulsion techniques to form a dispersion.
- the polymer dispersion is then inverted in water at the well site prior to injection into the wellbore and ultimately in the formation.
- the aqueous phase further comprises a crosslinking monomer, so that the polymer chains formed within the emulsion's micelles are crosslinked during polymerization.
- the overall polymer content may range from 0.08 to 15.0% polymer weight to solution weight.
- the polymer dispersion comprises 0.1 to 1.5 % polymer weight. The specific polymer content is dependent on the pore stricture dimensions and the formation composition.
- the aqueous phase or monomer solution of the present invention typically comprises two or more monomers.
- the monomers are mixed together in an aqueous solution so that the monomer content ranges between 40 and 70% by weight.
- the pH of the solution may be neutralized by the slow addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide.
- the monomer solution has three components comprising a vinylamide monomer, a monomer containing ammonium or quaternary ammonium moieties, and a crosslinking monomer.
- the monomer solution contains 0 to 5 parts vinylamide monomer ofthe formula:
- the vinylamide monomer can also be a vinyllactam such as vinylpyrolidone.
- Other examples of vinylamide monomers include acrylamide, methacrylamide, and N,N-dimethylacrylamide.
- the vinylamide monomer comprises acrylamide.
- the monomer containing ammonium or quaternary ammonium moieties typically ranges from 0.5 to 5 parts and preferably comprises dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride.
- the chloride counter ion can also be substituted with any other halogen, sulfate, or phosphate.
- Examples include dimethyldiallyl ammonium sulfate, methacrylamido propyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, and methacrylmaido propyl trimethyl ammonium chloride monomers.
- the monomer solution further comprises an amount of about 50 to 1000 ppm crosslinking monomer.
- Crosslinking monomers are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,465,792, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the preferred crosslinking monomers are methylene bisacrylamide, dialylamine, N,N-diallylacrylamide, divinyloxyethane and divinyldiemthylsilane.
- the most preferred crosslinking monomer is methylene bisacrylamide.
- an additional monomer may be used, ranging from 0 to 5 parts and selected from vinyl carboxylic acids or salts of those acids or vinylsulfonic acids or salts of those acids having the general formula shown below:
- X represents moieties containing either a carboxylic acid or salt of that acid or a moiety containing a sulfuric acid or sulfonic acid or salts of those acids.
- examples include acrylic acid, acrylamidomethylpropane sulfonic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, methacrylic acid, styrene sulfonic acid and vinyl sulfonic acid or the esters or salts of these acids.
- These salts include ammonium, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts. The use of this additional monomer is preferred but not essential to the present invention.
- the aqueous phase further comprises an emulsifying surfactant.
- These surfactants are usually nonionic with hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) values ofthe surfactant system ranging from about 3 to 10.
- the preferred HLB is between 4 and 6.
- the surfactant HLB values are low to form water-in-oil emulsions.
- the surfactants are generally added at 0.5 to 2% by weight of the emulsion and include ICI's Span® surfactants and Rhone Poulenc's Igepal® surfactants.
- the surfactants, having low HLB values are usually oil soluble, and alternatively may be added to the hydrocarbon solvent in the hydrocarbon phase.
- the hydrocarbon phase of the polymer dispersion comprises a hydrocarbon solvent.
- Preferred hydrocarbon solvents are high boiling aliphatic refined oils such as Exxon's Norpar® and Isopar® solvents. Typically, the solvent ranges from about 20% to 50% by weight ofthe emulsion.
- the emulsion is then degassed and polymerization is initiated with the addition of a catalyst or an initiator.
- the catalyst comprises low dosages of peroxides such as cumene hydroperoxide in Norpar® 12.
- the polymerization is initiated by adding 1 ml of 2% by weight cumene hydroperoxide.
- Other catalysts suitable for the present invention include sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate and t-butyl hydroperoxide.
- a co- catalyst such as thionyl chloride in Norpar® 12 or sodium sulfite solution may also be used.
- the temperature ofthe reacting emulsion should not exceed about 40°C in order to promote chain initiation and propagation while minimizing chain termination, although gradual temperature increases ofthe reacting emulsion are acceptable.
- the emulsion can be further treated with inverting surfactants after polymerization is complete.
- Suitable inverters include 10 mole nonylphenol ethoxylates or C 9-I 8 dialkanolquatenary ammonium chlorides at concentrations less than 5% by weight based on the emulsion.
- the preferred inverting surfactant is 10 mol nonylphenol ethoxylate.
- the polymer dispersion In the treatment of oil and gas wells, the polymer dispersion must first be added to the carrier fluid to form a treatment fluid.
- the polymer dispersion content may range from 0.1 to 20% by weight.
- the polymer dispersion content may range from 1 to 5 % by weight.
- the carrier fluid should be saline.
- the carrier fluid should have salt at concentrations of 0.1% to saturated.
- the carrier fluid comprises a 2% (wt./vol) potassium chloride solution.
- the pH can be adjusted from 9.0 to a range between 3.0 and 5.0.
- the amount of salt and the pH used are dependent on the size of the pore network as determined from the permeability of the formation. The smaller the pores, the stronger the saline solution and the lower the pH.
- the polymer concentration is also dependent on the pore size.
- a method for modifying the permeability of a subterranean formation comprises forming a polymer dispersion of the present invention, adding an inverting surfactant, and adding the polymer dispersion to a carrier fluid such as a salt solution, so that the polymer particles are dispersed throughout, to form a treatment fluid.
- the treatment fluid is then injected into the formation.
- the treatment fluid may comprise a salt solution, the polymer emulsion, water, and pH adjusting buffer.
- the carrier fluid comprises a 1 % to 5 %
- the carrier fluid comprises a 2%
- wt./vol. potassium chloride solution typically, an amount of 0.1% to 20% of the polymer emulsion may be added to the carrier fluid. Preferably, an amount 1 % to 5 % (vol./vol.) of the polymer emulsion is added to the carrier fluid.
- An inverting surfactant is also added. In a preferred embodiment, 0.5 % (vol./vol.) inverting surfactant is added.
- the treatment fluid may be prepared at the well site.
- the treatment fluid can be batch prepared or prepared by continuous mix processes.
- the treatment fluid is prepared by mixing the polymer emulsion into a tank of fresh water, followed by the addition of a salt, pH adjusting buffer, and an inverting surfactant.
- an amount of treatment fluid sufficient to treat the entire height of the producing interval having a three-to-ten foot radius from the wellbore should be used.
- the pH of the treatment fluid may then be adjusted with any Bronsted acid.
- the preferred pH is between 3.0 and 5.0.
- Preferred pH agents are those made as mixtures of acetic acid and sodium acetate and used at 1% to 3% volume ofthe treatment fluid.
- the viscosity ofthe treatment fluid depends on the polymer emulsion concentration as well as the degree of swelling of the crosslinked polymer particles. Because the polymer has an anionic charge, the degree of swelling is strongly dependent on the salt concentration and pH ofthe solution. As the pH declines, the viscosity of the solution also declines. The effect of salt concentration and pH on the degree of swelling is demonstrated in Table 1.
- the viscosity of the treatment fluid can be varied by adjusting the salt concentration or pH.
- the pH is adjusted to 4 to minimize viscosity and enhance product placement in the subterranean formation or reservoir.
- Typical injection rates for either batch or continuous mixed treatment fluid should be far below rates that would cause pressures to exceed those necessary to fracture the formation. During injection, the rates may be adjusted to insure that pressures are maintained below those necessary for fracturing.
- the well should be shut-in from about 6 to about 48 hours after injecting the treatment fluid to allow maximum polymer retention. Following the shut-in period, the well may then be placed back on production, with a noticeable drop in water production resulting over the next several days.
- the methods of the present invention may be used to reduce water channeling through high permeable streaks in injector wells. The treatment proceeds as described above, except that the wells are not shut-in after injecting the treatment fluid. The polymer will be retained in the high permeable streaks ultimately improving the water sweep efficiency in the reservoir.
- the compositions and methods of the present invention may also have other applications where one desires to inhibit water flow.
- compositions and methods are selective because swelling only occurs in the water laden channels.
- a selective system is one that is relatively non-damaging to oil permeability in an oil saturated sandstone while decreasing water permeability in water saturated zones. This allows the system to be applied to a productive zone without mechanical isolation in the wellbore. Mechanical isolation of a water producing section or perforations can add a significant cost to a water control treatment. Consequently, a treatment that can be bull- headed down the existing completion tubulars will be considerably less expensive.
- the treatment fluid is a low viscosity, water based system and will preferentially invade the water bearing sections ofthe subterranean formation zone. To insure proper placement, other injection methods such as diversion are viable options.
- Internal diverting materials can be used to help place the treatment fluid or treatment system over the entire water producing interval.
- a suitable diverting agent is a portion ofthe treatment fluid itself, used without any pH adjustment. Negating the pH adjustment of higher treatment fluid loadings causes that portion of fluid to retain higher viscosities which ultimately enhances diversion.
- the treatment fluid or system induces an artificial pressure barrier and should be placed from the wellbore to an area beyond that influenced by the critical drawdown pressure responsible for the vertical water migration.
- the effectiveness of the compositions and methods of the present invention may be dependent on several factors, including the water saturation levels, horizontal to vertical permeability contrast, the amount of drawdown pressure, and the degree of depletion. Consequently, the invention should preferably be used as soon as a coning problem or potential coning problem is identified, rather than at the point when coning becomes intolerable.
- a method of preparing the "super absorber" polymer as an invert polymer emulsion is provided.
- the aqueous phase of the emulsion was prepared by adding 173.15 g of acrylamide, 35.13 g of acrylic acid and 0.264 g of methylene bisacrylamide to 125.40 g of deionized water. No monomer containing ammonium or quaternary ammonium moieties was used.

- Permeability experiments for the emulsion prepared in Example 2 were performed using a 1" diameter, 12" length Berea sandstone core. Initially, the core was treated with 15% HCl as a standard procedure. The core was placed in a rubber sleeve, and was then subjected to a confining pressure in a cell at least 500 psi greater than the injection pressure, to prevent fluid leakage around the sides of the core. The cell temperature was set to 66°C. The fluid was injected along the axial direction, and the pressure drop across the length ofthe core and the flow rate were measured.
- the permeability of the core was determined using a 5 % NaCl, 1% CaCl 2 solution. The extent of permeability reduction was determined by comparing the permeability of the core before treatment with the permeability of the core after treatment.
- the treatment fluid consisted of a 0.5 % by weight of the polymer emulsion of Example 2, 0.5 % of a surfactant to invert the polymer emulsion, and 2% KC1 solution as solvent. The pH ofthe solution was adjusted to 3.5 with hydrochloric acid.

- the permeability of the core was determined using a 5% NaCl, 1% CaCl 2 solution. The permeability decreased from about 1000 md to about 250 md. This process of flowing or injecting the treatment fluid was repeated again with 1% by weight of the polymer emulsion and the cumulative effect ofthe product on the permeability studied. After the second injection, the permeability decreased to about 35 md.
- Table 2 The sequence of steps and the permeability ofthe core at each step are shown in Table 2.
- Permeability experiments for the emulsion prepared in Example 2 were performed using a 1" diameter, 12" length Berea sandstone core. This was done to determine the effect of the treatment fluid in decreasing permeability to oil.

- the fluid was injected along the axial direction, and the pressure drop across the length of the core and the flow rate were measured.
- the permeability of the brine was determined. This was followed by 50/50 Amoco White/I sopar-L mixture. The viscosity ofthe oil mixture was 1.5 cP at test temperature or 3.5 times more viscous than the brine solution.
- the permeability of the core was determined using a 50/50 Amoco White Oil/Isopar-L blend and this corresponds to the permeability to oil with irreducible water present. The extent of permeability reduction was determined by comparing the permeability of the core to oil before treatment with the permeability of the core to oil after treatment.
- the treatment fluid consisted of a 1 % by weight of the polymer emulsion shown in Example 2, 0.5% of a surfactant to invert the polymer emulsion, and 2% KC1 solution as the solvent.
- the pH of the solution was adjusted to 3.5 with hydrochloric acid.
- the permeability of the treatment fluid was determined. After flowing the treatment fluid, the core was shut-in for 16 hours without any flow at temperature. Following the shut- in period, the permeability of the core was determined using 50/50 Amoco White Oil/Isopar- L solution. There was no significant change in the permeability to oil due to the product or treatment fluid.
- a 5% by weight polymer solution was prepared by dissolving 18.95 g acrylamide, 19.2 g acrylic acid, and 19.75 g 60% by weight diallyldimethylammonium chloride in 900.0 g of deionized water. No crosslinking monomer was added. The acrylic acid was neutralized to pH 8.1 by the slow addition of 42.1 g of 25% by weight aqueous NaOH. The solution was cooled to 15°C and degassed with N 2 . Polymerization was initiated with the addition of 1 ml of 1.5% sodium persulfate solution co-catalyzed with 1 ml of 0.25% sodium sulfite solution. The solution was slowly warmed to ambient temperatures and eventually polymerized while heating to 49°C. A 0.5% wt active polymer solution made from this polymer solution had a viscosity of 25 cps at 511 sec " on a Farm 35 viscometer.
- Permeability experiments for the emulsion prepared in Example 6 were performed using a 1" diameter, 12" length Berea sandstone core.

- the cell temperature was set to 66°C.
- the fluid was injected along the axial direction, and the pressure drop across the length ofthe core and the flow rate were measured.
- the permeability of the core was determined using a 5% NaCl, 1% CaCl 2 solution. The extent of permeability reduction was determined by comparing the permeability of the core before treatment with the permeability of the core after treatment.
- the water treatment solution consisted of 8% polymer and 2% KC1 solution as solvent. The permeability of the water treatment solution was determined. After flowing the water treatment solution, the core was shut-in for 16 hours without any flow at temperature. After shut-in, the permeability of the core was determined using a 5% NaCl, 1% CaCl 2 solution. The sequence of steps and the permeability ofthe core at each step is shown in Table 5.
- the polymer was able to hydrate in the treating water. Because it is a hydratable polymer, the film it forms is considerably thinner than the crosslinked particles. Thus, while the thinner film also impairs permeability, it does so to a much lesser degree than when a crosslinking monomer is used, as in Example 2.
