Patent ID: 11629282

Abstract:
A salt-tolerant polymer microsphere plugging agent and a preparation method thereof, the agent being made of white oil, fumed silica, acrylamide monomer, acrylic acid, sorbitan fatty acid ester, N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide, ammonium persulfate, sodium bisulfite, hydrophilic surfactant and water. The present general inventive concept synthesizes salt-tolerant polymer microspheres with ultra-low interfacial tension by adopting inverse phase emulsion polymerization. The prepared polymer microsphere plugging agent is a new type of polymer microspheres with ultra-low interfacial tension, such that the tension can reach 4.3×10−3 mN/m, and the salt tolerance can reach 50000 mg/L salinity, which improves the problem of low interfacial tension and poor salt tolerance in existing polymer microspheres.
