Synthesis of a water‐soluble chain transfer agent and its application in gel dispersions

Xianli Zhang,
Ziteng Yang,
Shanghao Liu
et al.

Abstract: Pre‐crosslinked gel particles, colloidal dispersion gels, and polymer microspheres are often used as profile‐controlling and flooding agents to displace residual crude oil from formations. The preparation process of these profile‐controlling and flooding agents is complicated. In order to simplify the preparation steps, a water‐soluble chain transfer (RAFT) agent, S,S′‐bis(2‐propionic acid) trithiocarbonate (PATTC), was synthesized, and then, hydrogel dispersions were prepared by one‐pot RAFT polymerization.

“…Several approaches are used in this polymerization process, including bulk, solution, suspension, and emulsion polymerization [46]. Additionally, there are non-conventional techniques for radical polymerization, like reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) [54] and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) [55].…”

“…Although B crosslinkers have the ability to crosslink effectively with guar and their fracturing fluid possesses good shear resistance, they have limited high-temperature resistance, and their coordination bond with guar gum will break at 140 °C [ 19 , 20 ]. In comparison, Zr crosslinkers are a good choice for high-temperature conditions; however, the disadvantage of fracturing fluids formed with commercial zirconium crosslinkers is poor shear resistance [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to use matched components to control the release rate of metal ions from the crosslinkers, thereby delaying the crosslinking of the polymer and crosslinker until the fracturing fluid passes through the high-shear environment [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Polymeric hydrogels such as in situ gels and granular hydrogels have been used for the treatment of fractures and fissures since the fluid loss and productivity reduction posed technical challenges during enhanced oil recovery and drilling operations. For instance, the reservoir fluids potentially threaten the safety of personnel and equipment in drilling operations. , However, pilot tests of in situ gels to treat large-size fractures in the past two decades demonstrated their limitations of intrinsic mechanical weakness due to low concentrations of polymer precursors . High viscosity and uncontrolled gelation of the current in situ gels led to injectivity difficulty and low plugging efficiency .…”
