A novel selective blocking agent called PLA-21 was prepared by acrylamide (AM), Acrylic Acid (AA), diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DMDAAC) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in aqueous solution with organosilicon(WD-70) as cross-linking agent. The optimal synthesis conditions were discussed detailedly. The experimental results showed that its water plugging rate was higher than 95% and plugging rate of oil was less than 10%, which demonstrated excellent selective plugging ability. Meanwhile, cores with different permeability can be blocked effectively. Compared with some common selective blocking agents, it was found that the PLA-21 satisfied engineering demand better and it was an effective selective blocking agent for oil filed application. FTIR and EDS show PLA-21 was synthesized successfully and it contains anion group, cationic groups, nonionic groups and silicon. SEM was used to research and analyze the mechanism of selective plugging. It indicates that PLA-21 can expand sharply in water and shirk in oil, which making it good selective blocking efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
