Definitions
- the present invention relates to cementation fluids for oil, gas, water, geothermal and similar wells. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of silicone anti-foaming compositions in cementing fluids which are applicable to the cementing of such wells.
- drilling is carried out in the soil.
- a cementing of this drilling is necessary in order to consolidate the walls, to limit the movements of fluids between the different geological zones, to make it gas-tight and to protect it from corrosion.
- a casing is introduced into the borehole and a cement is injected via a pump into the annular space surrounding the casing.
- This cementing operation involves constraints on the cementing composition to be used. Firstly, the cement must be sufficiently fluid to be pumped over several meters and injected through thin-section tubes.
- the presence of air in the cement affects the quality of the cementation. Indeed, the mechanical properties of the cement are considerably modified by the presence of air bubbles which can, in particular affect its tightness and strength. Air bubbles are generated mainly during the brewing of the cement and its pumping, because of its low viscosity.
- oil well operators have very quickly thought to integrate anti-foam compounds to cementing compositions.
- the anti-foam compounds must be inert with respect to the other constituents of the cement. This is why silicone-based anti-foaming compounds are used by oil well operators when cementing their wells.
- anti-foam formulations obtained from a mineral filler, most often silica particles, and a silicone oil adsorbed or physically and / or chemically bound to the mineral filler.
- This basic formulation can be emulsified with water in the presence of surfactants to give an emulsion antifoam. It is also possible to dilute these formulations in organic solvents such as olefins and paraffins, as described, for example, in patent application EP108354A1, in amines as described in the patent application published under the number WO2004 / 056445A1 and even in glycols as described in patent application EP0745648A1.
- silicone emulsions which are most commonly used, as indicated in the French patent published under the number 2,787,105.
- the aqueous silicone emulsions have the advantage of being easily dispersible in the compositions cementing, which are essentially aqueous. Silicone emulsions are thus added during the manufacture of cementing fluids, without requiring a costly mixing operation in energy which would aim to ensure their dispersion.
- the oily phase is based on polydimethylsiloxane silicone oil, a silica filler and optionally a silicone resin.
- the aqueous phase contains water and ethoxylated surfactants as well as other surfactants such as glycerol monostearate or sorbitan monostearate, for example described in US5080828B or polyethylene glycol stearyl ether as described for example in the application US2007 / 0112078A.
- Silicone antifoam emulsions have the disadvantage of being unstable from 50 ° C. Most of the oil drilling takes place in hot countries where the storage conditions of the anti-foaming compositions do not make it possible to ensure that they are dry. maintaining at a temperature below 30 ° C., which constitutes the guaranteed temperature limit for this type of product. In addition, the products undergo significant temperature variations between day and night, which leads to the degradation of the quality of the emulsion. A separation of the aqueous phase and the oily phase is then observed and the heterogeneity of the mixture makes it unusable for its application to oil well cements. Indeed, a mixture out of phase (heterogeneous) loses its qualities of dispersibility in the cement.
- phase-shifted silicone composition that will therefore not disperse well within the cementing fluid does not effectively control the amount of air that enters the cementing fluid.
- High temperature leads inevitably to the acceleration of the phenomenon of evaporation of the water present in the emulsion, which modifies its equilibrium and accentuates the coalescence of the oil droplets.
- surfactants used in these emulsions are fusible at a temperature close to 50 ° C. Their change in viscosity alters the quality of the emulsion and contributes all the more because of its phase shift.
- the antifoam compositions diluted in organic solvents have, for their part, cost disadvantages, environmental problems and pose, as for the emulsions, problems of volume of material to be transported.
- one of the essential objectives of the present invention is therefore to provide a new silicone antifoam composition without organic solvent which is stable at 50 0 C and self-dispersible.

- Another essential objective of the invention is to provide a new method of cementing a well, in particular a tanker.
- a new cementing fluid characterized in that it comprises at least one anti-foam composition A autodispersible, stable at 50 0 C and consisting of a phase continuous silicone, said composition comprising: from 78 to 99%, by weight relative to the total amount of said antifoam composition A, of at least one mixture B consisting of:

NOUVEAU FLUIDE DE CIMENTATION NEW CEMENT FLUID
DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA
La présente invention concerne les fluides de cimentation pour puits pétroliers, à gaz, à eau, géothermiques et analogues. Plus précisément, la présente invention vise l'utilisation de compositions anti- mousses silicones dans des fluides de cimentation qui s'appliquent à la cimentation de tels puits.The present invention relates to cementation fluids for oil, gas, water, geothermal and similar wells. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of silicone anti-foaming compositions in cementing fluids which are applicable to the cementing of such wells.
ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART
Lors de la réalisation d'un puits notamment pétrolier, on effectue un forage dans le sol. Une cimentation de ce forage est nécessaire afin d'en consolider les parois, de limiter les mouvements de fluides entres les différentes zones géologiques, de le rendre étanche vis-à-vis des gaz et de le protéger de la corrosion.During the production of a particular oil well, drilling is carried out in the soil. A cementing of this drilling is necessary in order to consolidate the walls, to limit the movements of fluids between the different geological zones, to make it gas-tight and to protect it from corrosion.
Pour obtenir une bonne cimentation, on introduit un tubage dans le forage et l'on injecte via une pompe un ciment dans l'espace annulaire entourant le tubage. Cette opération de cimentation implique des contraintes sur la composition de cimentation à utiliser. Tout d'abord, le ciment doit être suffisamment fluide pour être pompé sur plusieurs mètres et injecté au travers de tubes de fine section. En outre, la présence d'air dans le ciment nuit à la qualité de la cimentation. En effet, les propriétés mécaniques du ciment sont considérablement modifiées par la présence de bulles d'air qui peuvent, notamment affecter son étanchéité et sa solidité. Les bulles d'air sont générées essentiellement lors du brassage du ciment et de son pompage, du fait de sa faible viscosité. Pour pallier les inconvénients liés à la présence de bulles d'air, les exploitants de puits de pétrole ont très vite pensé à intégrer des composés anti-mousses aux compositions de cimentation.To obtain good cementation, a casing is introduced into the borehole and a cement is injected via a pump into the annular space surrounding the casing. This cementing operation involves constraints on the cementing composition to be used. Firstly, the cement must be sufficiently fluid to be pumped over several meters and injected through thin-section tubes. In addition, the presence of air in the cement affects the quality of the cementation. Indeed, the mechanical properties of the cement are considerably modified by the presence of air bubbles which can, in particular affect its tightness and strength. Air bubbles are generated mainly during the brewing of the cement and its pumping, because of its low viscosity. To overcome the drawbacks associated with the presence of air bubbles, oil well operators have very quickly thought to integrate anti-foam compounds to cementing compositions.
En outre, les composés anti-mousses doivent être inertes vis-à-vis des autres constituants du ciment. C'est pourquoi des composés anti- mousses à base de silicone sont utilisés par les exploitants de puits pétroliers lors de la cimentation de leurs puits.In addition, the anti-foam compounds must be inert with respect to the other constituents of the cement. This is why silicone-based anti-foaming compounds are used by oil well operators when cementing their wells.
Il existe un grand nombre de formulations anti-mousses obtenues à partir d'une charge minérale, le plus souvent des particules de silice, et d'une huile silicone adsorbée ou liée physiquement et/ou chimiquement à la charge minérale. Cette formulation de base peut être émulsionnée avec de l'eau en présence de tensioactifs pour donner une émulsion anti-mousse. On peut aussi réaliser une dilution de ces formulations dans des solvants organiques comme les oléfmes et les paraffines, comme décrit par exemple dans la demande de brevet EPlOl 8354A1, dans les aminés comme décrit dans la demande de brevet publiée sous le numéro WO2004/056445A1 et même dans les glycols tels que décrits dans la demande de brevet EP0745648A1.There are a large number of anti-foam formulations obtained from a mineral filler, most often silica particles, and a silicone oil adsorbed or physically and / or chemically bound to the mineral filler. This basic formulation can be emulsified with water in the presence of surfactants to give an emulsion antifoam. It is also possible to dilute these formulations in organic solvents such as olefins and paraffins, as described, for example, in patent application EP108354A1, in amines as described in the patent application published under the number WO2004 / 056445A1 and even in glycols as described in patent application EP0745648A1.
Dans le domaine des puits de pétrole, ce sont les émulsions silicones qui sont le plus couramment utilisées, comme indiqué dans le brevet français publié sous le numéro 2 787 105. Les émulsions silicones aqueuses présentent l'avantage d'être facilement dispersables dans les compositions de cimentation, qui sont essentiellement aqueuses. Les émulsions silicones sont ainsi rajoutées lors de la fabrication des fluides de cimentation, sans nécessiter une opération de mélange coûteuse en énergie qui aurait pour but d'assurer leur dispersion.In the field of oil wells, it is the silicone emulsions which are most commonly used, as indicated in the French patent published under the number 2,787,105. The aqueous silicone emulsions have the advantage of being easily dispersible in the compositions cementing, which are essentially aqueous. Silicone emulsions are thus added during the manufacture of cementing fluids, without requiring a costly mixing operation in energy which would aim to ensure their dispersion.
Une des émulsions anti-mousses silicone les plus utilisées dans les fluides de cimentation est une émulsion silicone huile-dans-Peau notamment décrite dans la demande de brevet DE19620405A1. La phase huileuse est à base d'huile silicone polydiméthylsiloxane, d'une charge de silice et éventuellement d'une résine silicone. La phase aqueuse contient de l'eau et des tensioactifs éthoxylés ainsi que d'autres tensioactifs comme le monostéarate de glycérol ou le monostéarate de sorbitan, par exemple décrits dans le brevet US5080828B ou l'éther de polyéthylène glycol stéarylique tel qu'il est décrit par exemple dans la demande US2007/0112078A.One of the most commonly used silicone antifoam emulsions in cementing fluids is an oil-in-water silicone emulsion, which is described in patent application DE19620405A1. The oily phase is based on polydimethylsiloxane silicone oil, a silica filler and optionally a silicone resin. The aqueous phase contains water and ethoxylated surfactants as well as other surfactants such as glycerol monostearate or sorbitan monostearate, for example described in US5080828B or polyethylene glycol stearyl ether as described for example in the application US2007 / 0112078A.
PROBLEME TECHNIQUETECHNICAL PROBLEM
Les émulsions silicones anti-mousses présentent cependant l'inconvénient d'être instables dès 500C. Or, la plupart des forages pétroliers ont lieu dans des pays chauds où les conditions de stockage des compositions anti- mousses ne permettent pas d'assurer leur maintien à une température inférieure à 3O0C, qui constitue la température limite garantie pour ce type de produit. De plus, les produits subissent des variations de température importantes entre le jour et la nuit, ce qui conduit à la dégradation de la qualité de l' émulsion. Une séparation de la phase aqueuse et de la phase huileuse est alors observée et l'hétérogénéité du mélange le rend inutilisable pour son application aux ciments pour puits de pétrole. En effet, un mélange déphasé (hétérogène) perd ses qualités de dispersibilité dans le ciment. L'ajout d'une composition silicone déphasée qui va donc mal se disperser au sein du fluide de cimentation ne permet pas de contrôler efficacement la quantité d'air qui s'introduit dans le fluide de cimentation. Une température élevée conduit inévitablement à l'accélération du phénomène d'évaporation de l'eau présente dans l'émulsion, ce qui modifie son équilibre et accentue la coalescence des gouttelettes d'huile.Silicone antifoam emulsions, however, have the disadvantage of being unstable from 50 ° C. Most of the oil drilling takes place in hot countries where the storage conditions of the anti-foaming compositions do not make it possible to ensure that they are dry. maintaining at a temperature below 30 ° C., which constitutes the guaranteed temperature limit for this type of product. In addition, the products undergo significant temperature variations between day and night, which leads to the degradation of the quality of the emulsion. A separation of the aqueous phase and the oily phase is then observed and the heterogeneity of the mixture makes it unusable for its application to oil well cements. Indeed, a mixture out of phase (heterogeneous) loses its qualities of dispersibility in the cement. The addition of a phase-shifted silicone composition that will therefore not disperse well within the cementing fluid does not effectively control the amount of air that enters the cementing fluid. High temperature leads inevitably to the acceleration of the phenomenon of evaporation of the water present in the emulsion, which modifies its equilibrium and accentuates the coalescence of the oil droplets.
De plus, les tensioactifs utilisés dans ces émulsions (notamment les monostéarates de glycérol, de sorbitan ou les éthers de polyéthylène glycol stéaryliques) sont fusibles à une température proche de 500C. Leur changement de viscosité altère la qualité de l'émulsion et contribue d'autant plus à son déphasage.In addition, the surfactants used in these emulsions (in particular glycerol monostearates, sorbitan or stearyl polyethylene glycol ethers) are fusible at a temperature close to 50 ° C. Their change in viscosity alters the quality of the emulsion and contributes all the more because of its phase shift.
Enfin, les compositions anti- mousses diluées dans des solvants organiques présentent quant à elles des inconvénients de coût, des problèmes environnementaux et posent, comme pour les émulsions, des problèmes de volume de matière à transporter.Finally, the antifoam compositions diluted in organic solvents have, for their part, cost disadvantages, environmental problems and pose, as for the emulsions, problems of volume of material to be transported.
OBJECTIFSGOALS
Dans ce contexte, l'un des objectifs essentiels de la présente invention est donc de proposer une nouvelle composition anti-mousse silicone sans solvant organique qui soit stable à 500C et auto-dispersible.In this context, one of the essential objectives of the present invention is therefore to provide a new silicone antifoam composition without organic solvent which is stable at 50 0 C and self-dispersible.

Le déphasage de la composition anti-mousse est rédhibitoire car l'hétérogénéité du mélange ne permet pas d'assurer les propriétés anti-mousses.• Presence of phase shift: the phase shift is proven when one observes a supernatant layer of oil without silica on the surface of the silicone composition. The phase shift of the antifoam composition is unacceptable because the heterogeneity of the mixture does not ensure the anti-foaming properties.
• Gélification et prise en masse de la composition anti-mousse qui la rend impropre à l'utilisation.• Gelling and caking of the antifoam composition that makes it unfit for use.
Le tableau 1 résume l'apparition (noté « oui » dans le tableau 1 ci-dessous) ou pas (noté « non » dans le tableau 1 suivant) d'un déphasage après différentes durées de stockage à température ambiante et à 500C. Tableau 1 : Evolution de l'aspect des compositions anti-mousses après différentes conditions de stockageTable 1 summarizes the appearance (noted "yes" in Table 1 below) or not (noted "no" in the following Table 1) of a phase shift after different storage times at room temperature and at 50 0 C . Table 1: Evolution of the appearance of anti-foam compositions after different storage conditions
Les compositions anti-mousses décrites dans les exemples selon l'invention présentent une excellente stabilité à température ambiante et à 5O0C. Aucun déphasage ni prise en masse des compositions anti-mousses n'a été observé. En revanche, la composition anti- mousse selon le comparatif C-I (émulsion huile dans eau) déphase à 500C et prend en masse dès une semaine à cette température. Pour les compositions antimousses selon les comparatifs C-2 (formulée avec une huile polydiméthylsiloxane de viscosité < 500 mPa.s) et C-3 (formulée sans polyéthylène glycol) on observe dès la température ambiante l'apparition d'une couche d'huile en surface.The antifoam compositions described in the examples according to the invention have excellent stability at room temperature and at 50 ° C. No phase shift or bulking of the antifoam compositions has been observed. On the other hand, the anti-foam composition according to the comparative CI (oil-in-water emulsion) expands at 50 ° C. and takes up as much as one week at this temperature. For the antifoam compositions according to Comparative C-2 (formulated with a polydimethylsiloxane oil of viscosity <500 mPa.s) and C-3 (formulated without polyethylene glycol), the appearance of an oil layer is observed at ambient temperature. surface.

Description du testDescription of the test
Dans un réacteur agité sont ajoutés :In a stirred reactor are added:
• 337 g d'eau• 337 g of water
• une quantité variable d'anti-mousse silicone• a variable amount of silicone antifoam
• 2,1 g de sulfonate de naphtalène2.1 g of naphthalene sulfonate
• 36 g de latex styrène-butadiène • 198 g de ciment API, liant hydraulique.• 36 g of styrene-butadiene latex • 198 g of API cement, hydraulic binder.
On mélange le tout pendant 35 secondes à une vitesse de 13000 tours/minute. On verse ensuite le mélange dans un récipient gradué de 1 litre et on mesure le volume total de la suspension (« slurry ») de ciment obtenu qui est directement lié à l'efficacité de l'anti- mousse. Plus Panti-mousse est efficace, plus ce volume de slurry sera faible. En absence d'anti-mousse, la quantité d'air présente dans le ciment sous forme de bulles est très importante et conduit à un volume total de slurry mesuré de 870 ml. Le tableau 2 présente les volumes de slurry de ciment obtenus après l'ajout de 0,6 g d'anti-mousse.The mixture is mixed for 35 seconds at a speed of 13000 rpm. The mixture is then poured into a 1-liter graduated container and the total volume of slurry obtained is measured which is directly related to the effectiveness of the antifoam. More Panti-mousse is effective, more this volume of slurry will be weak. In the absence of antifoam, the amount of air present in the cement in the form of bubbles is very important and leads to a total measured slurry volume of 870 ml. Table 2 presents the volumes of cement slurry obtained after the addition of 0.6 g of antifoam.
Tableau 2 :Table 2:
Volume de slurry de ciment mesuré après l'ajout de 0,6 g des différentes compositions anti-moussesVolume of cement slurry measured after the addition of 0.6 g of the different anti-foam compositions
L'ajout de 0,6g de la composition anti-mousse selon le comparatif C- 1 (émulsion huile dans eau) conduit à un volume de slurry de ciment mesuré de 630 ml. Les différentes compositions anti-mousse selon l'invention conduisent à des volumes de slurry de ciment de 520 à 590 ml soit une diminution de 6 à 20%.The addition of 0.6 g of the antifoam composition according to the comparative C-1 (oil-in-water emulsion) leads to a measured volume of cement slurry of 630 ml. The various anti-foam compositions according to the invention lead to cement slurry volumes of 520 to 590 ml, ie a decrease of 6 to 20%.
Tableau 3 :Table 3:
Quantité de composition anti-mousse nécessaire pour obtenir un volume de slurry de ciment de 510 à 530 mlAmount of anti-foam composition needed to obtain a volume of cement slurry of 510 to 530 ml
Pour faire diminuer le slurry de ciment de 870 à 510 ml il est nécessaire d'ajouter 1,6 g de la composition anti- mousse selon le comparatif C-I (émulsion huile dans eau). En revanche, pour obtenir un volume de slurry de ciment comparable, 0,6g des compositions anti-mousse selon l'invention I- 1 et 1-2 suffisent, soit une diminution de 63% de la quantité d'anti-mousse utilisée. Tableau 4 :To reduce the slurry of cement from 870 to 510 ml it is necessary to add 1.6 g of the antifoam composition according to the comparative CI (oil-in-water emulsion). On the other hand, in order to obtain a comparable cement slurry volume, 0.6 g of the antifoam compositions according to the invention I-1 and 1-2 suffice, ie a 63% reduction in the amount of antifoam used. Table 4:
Quantité de composition anti-mousse nécessaire pour obtenir un volume de slurry de ciment de 470 ml (désaération optimum)Quantity of antifoam composition necessary to obtain a volume of 470 ml cement slurry (optimum deaeration)
Pour faire diminuer le slurry de ciment de 870 à 470 ml il est nécessaire d'ajouter 2,3 g de la composition anti- mousse selon le comparatif C-I (émulsion huile dans eau). En revanche, pour obtenir le même volume de slurry de ciment, 1,2 g des compositions antimousse selon l'invention I- 1 et 1-2 suffisent soit une diminution de 48% de la quantité d'anti-mousse utilisée. To reduce the slurry of cement from 870 to 470 ml it is necessary to add 2.3 g of the antifoam composition according to the comparative C-I (emulsion oil in water). On the other hand, to obtain the same volume of cement slurry, 1.2 g of the antifoam compositions according to the invention I-1 and 1-2 suffice to be a reduction of 48% of the amount of antifoam used.
