Description

Polymer microsphere capable of being subjected to secondary crosslinking and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of microsphere plugging, in particular to a polymer microsphere capable of being subjected to secondary crosslinking, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The water content of the Bohai sea in the oil field production reaches 83%, the crude oil extraction degree reaches 17.5%, the whole oil field steps into a double-high stage, the difficulty of stabilizing the yield of the Bohai sea is greater and greater, and the requirement on water control and oil stabilization technology is also more and more prominent. With successful large-scale application of the oil-filled microsphere technology in the Bohai sea water injection field, the superiority of the technology is more and more prominent. At present, two main microsphere systems are mainly used in China: the particle size is increased by self water absorption expansion, the stratum is blocked by physical blocking, but the function is relatively single, and complex stratum conditions (such as high temperature, hypersalinity and the like) influence the stability of a system and destroy the internal molecular structure of the system, so that the system is difficult to perform deep profile control; the other is to realize the increase of particle size by self-cementing of a core-shell structure, and has good filling effect, but the change of injection pressure is relatively limited, and the plugging capability needs to be further improved so as to adapt to the plugging of the dominant seepage channel in the later development stage of the high-water-content oil field.
