Definitions

  • the invention relates to an analytical method, in particular to a method for determining the weight- average molecular weight (M w ) of a water-soluble high molecular weight polymer.
  • EOR enhanced oil recovery
  • Water-flooding is the oldest method used to increase oil recovery.
  • water-flooding water is injected to support pressure of the reservoir and to sweep or displace oil from the reservoir and push it towards a production well.
  • water exhibits almost always a mobility (ratio between specific resistance to flow and fluid viscosity) higher that the oil phase. Therefore, water has a tendency to get into the paths of least resistance offered by the reservoir instead of pushing the oil phase.
  • a viscosity-enhancing high-molecular-weight polymer is added to the water to decrease the mobility ratio between water and oil, and in turn to improve macroscopic sweep efficiency.
  • the primary purpose of adding polymer is to increase the viscosity of the pushing water.
  • Acrylamide polymers are the most widely used synthetic polymers for application in polymer flooding. This is due in part because of cost and availability issues and because of their favorable chemical robustness and biological stability.
  • Polyacrylamide (PAM) is the simplest and most basic form of acrylamide polymers. Because pure polyacrylamide is neutral (not charged), it will adsorb by hydrogen bonding on negatively charged rock surfaces such as sands and sandstone pore surfaces. For these reasons, copolymers of acrylamide and sodium acrylate (called partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, HP AM) are more often favored for use in polymer flooding. This polymer is negatively charged.
  • the choice of the polymer depends on many parameters such as the reservoir characteristics (temperature, salinity, rock permeability, formation heterogeneity, maximum allowable injection pressure), the composition and properties of the oil contained in the reservoir. When all other factors are equal (such as polymer type and the brine solution into which the polymer is dissolved), as the molecular weight of the polymer increases, the polymer's viscosity enhancing ability increases when dissolved in a given brine.
  • polymers used in polymer waterflooding are polydispersed in molecular weight
  • polymer molecular weight distribution is an important factor relating to how a given polymer will function during a polymer flood.
  • good molecular weight distribution of such high molecular weight polymers data are not readily and widely available for the polymers that are normally used in polymer flooding, because the determination of a polymer's molecular weight distribution is relatively expensive and time consuming.
  • the characterization of the molecular weight averages and size distribution of a polydispersed polymer is generally accomplished using a Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) column coupled with a molecular weight sensitive detector, such as a light scattering photometer, in particular a Multi Angle Light Scattering (MALS) detector.
  • SEC Size Exclusion Chromatography
  • MALS Multi Angle Light Scattering
  • SEC separates molecules based on their size by filtration through a gel.
  • the gel consists of spherical beads containing pores of a specific size distribution. Separation occurs when molecules of different sizes are included or excluded from the pores within the matrix. Small molecules diffuse into the pores and their flow through the column is retarded according to their size, while large molecules do not enter the pores and are eluted in the column's void volume. Consequently, molecules separate based on their size as they pass through the column and are eluted in order of decreasing molecular weight.
  • MALS allows the determination of the concentration of the polymer at any time, which is needed for calculating the molar mass of the polymer.
  • MALS allows the determination of the absolute molar mass and the average size of particles in solution by detecting how they scatter light.
  • multi angle refers to the detection of scattered light at different discrete angles as measured by a single detector moved over a range of particular angles or by an array of detectors fixed at specific angular locations. MALS measurements work by calculating the amount of scattered light at each angle detected.
  • This process overcomes the problems associated with low angle detectors (typically there is around ten times the noise at an angle of 11° or below compared to 90°) and allows a reliable and accurate measure of the light scattered.
  • the amount of light scattered is then related to the molar mass.
  • a SEC column coupled to a MALS detector and a Differential Refractive Index detector allows the determination of the weight-average molecular weight of a polydispersed polymer.
  • Elongational flow occurs each time the fluid experiences an acceleration, for example, during the passage through a contraction or through the succession of contractions enlargements of a porous medium.
  • polymer is subjected to elongation in the porous material of the chromatography column, pre-column filters or frits or in the upstream or downstream tubings and fittings.
  • high molecular weight polymer chains can be degraded during the analysis.
  • the object of the present invention is a method for determining the weight- average molecular weight of a water-soluble high molecular weight polymer, said method comprising the following steps:
  • the flow rate of said mobile phase is lower than 0.20 mL/min, in particular is from 0.05 mL/min to 0.20 mL/min, more particularly from 0.10 mL/min to 0.15 mL/min.

  • the polymer has a weight- average molecular weight higher than 10 6 g/mol, in particular higher than 5.10 6 g/mol, in particular higher than 7.5.10 6 , more particularly higher than 10.10 6 g/mol.
  • the polymer is a polyacrylamide or a partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, a polyoxyethylene, a poly(styrenesulfonic acid), a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonate, or of acrylic acid, acrylamide and acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonate and N-vinylpyrrolidone or of acrylamide, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonate and N-vinylpyrrolidone.
  • the mobile phase of the Size Exclusion Chromatography column contains a buffering agent leading to a pH higher than 6, in particular a pH of 8.
  • the buffering agent is 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-l-piperazineethanesulfonic acid, 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)- 1,3 -propanediol or N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine.
  • the salinity of the mobile phase is from 18 g/L to 26 g/L.
  • the Size Exclusion Chromatography column is packed with particles having a size above 30 ⁇ . In one particular embodiment, the Size Exclusion Chromatography column is packed with a bed of spheres of polyhydroxymethacrylate of 35 ⁇ diameter, with dimensions of 8.0 x 300 mm.
  • the Size Exclusion Chromatography column is composed of a set of two Size Exclusion Chromatography columns connected in series, the first column being packed with a bed of Spheres of polyhydroxymethacrylate of 13 ⁇ and the second column being packed with a bed of Spheres of polyhydroxymethacrylate of 35 ⁇ , each bed having a dimension of 8.0 x 300 mm.

It can be applied to any water-soluble high molecular weight polymer susceptible to mechanical degradation during SEC analysis, in particular synthetic flexible polymers (i.e. very long molecules sparsely branched and un-crosslinked)).
  • Mechanical degradation refers to the chemical process in which the activation energy of polymer chain scission is supplied by the mechanical action on the polymer chain and bond rupture occurs, thereby leading to shorter polymer chains. Longer molecules are more susceptible to mechanical degradation, accompanying more rapid degradation.

  • the flow rate of said mobile phase is lower than 0.20 mL/min, in particular is from 0.05 mL/min to 0.20 mL/min (the value 0.20 mL/min being excluded), more particularly from 0.10 mL/min to 0.15 mL/min.
  • the Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) column is able to separate the polymer molecules based on their size by filtration through a gel.

  • the method according to the invention is also particularly useful for monitoring the degradation of the polymer in polymer flooding by checking the Mw of a polymer in produced waters and comparing the value with the one of the injected polymer.

  • a second SEC column (packed with a bed of Spheres of polyhydroxymethacrylate of 35 ⁇ , the bed having a dimension of 8.0 x 300 mm) ;
  • Polymer sample solutions were injected through the chromatographic system without any SEC- or pre-SEC columns (so as to evidence the degradation only caused by the analytical set-up between the injector and the detection cell of the Multi Angle Light Scattering detector) with increasing flow rates: 0.10 mL/min, 0.20 mL/min, 0.30 mL/min and 0.50 mL/min.
