摘要: 为了实现在调控钻井液黏度的情况下获得良好的携岩能力,以丙烯酰胺(AM)、2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)、二甲基二烯丙基氯化铵(DMDAAC)、甲基丙烯酰氧乙基-N,N-二甲基丙磺酸(DMAPS)和十六烷基疏水单体(C16-D)为原料,采用自由基聚合法,制备了一种新型的两性疏水缔合聚合物(PAADDC)。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和核磁共振(1H NMR)表征了PAADDC的分子结构,采用静态光散射(SLS)测定了聚合物的分子量,并对其流变性能进行了评价。结果表明,100℃老化16 h,加量为0.2% PAADDC的钻井液的表观黏度、塑性黏度、动切力和动塑比分别为18.5 mPa·s,11.5 mPa·s,7.0 Pa和0.61 Pa/mPa·s,抗温可达160℃。与常规增黏剂相比,PAADDC具有良好的热稳定性和更佳的抑黏增切效果。在60~180℃热老化实验中,动塑比值随PAADDC用量的增加而降低。环境扫描电镜(ESEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)的观察表明,PAADDC在溶液中形成了连续的三维网状结构,这是其剪切强度显著提高的主要原因。Abstract: A new zwitterionic hydrophobically associating polymer PAADDC has been synthesized by radical polymerization using monomers such as acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDAAC), 3-dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate (DMAPS) and a cetyl monomer (C16-D). PAADDC was developed for improving the cuttings carrying capacity of water base drilling fluids at controlled viscosity. The PAADDC synthesized was characterized by FT-IR and 1HNMR, and its molecular weight was determined by static light scattering (SLS) method. Drilling fluids treated with 0.2% PAADDC, after aging 16 h at 100℃, had properties as follows:AV=18.5 mPa·s, PV=11.5 mPa·s, YP=7 Pa and YP/PV=0.61 Pa/mPa·s. This drilling fluid was resistant to high temperatures to 160℃. Compared with other filter loss reducers, PAADDC has better thermal stability and better suspending performance at controlled viscosity. In aging test at 60-180℃, the YP/PV ratio of the drilling fluid was decreasing with increase in the concentration of PAADDC. ESEM and AFM examination of the molecular behavior of PAADDC showed that in solution PAADDC forms a continuous 3D network structure, which is taken as the main factor of obviously increasing the shearing strength of the drilling fluids.
