Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate (DMAEA) was prepared using dimethylaminoethanol and acryloyl chloride as raw materials;DMAEA reacts with 1,3-propanesulfolactone to produce betaine type vinyl zwitterionic monomer - methacryloxyethyl dimethylpropanesulfonic acid ammonium (MSBM);MSBM co polymerized with 50% acrylamide aqueous solution to synthesize amphoteric polymer acrylamide/methacryloyloxyethyl dimethylpropanesulfonate ammonium (AM/MSBM), and its structure was confirmed by 1H NMR and IR. The effects of mineralization, shear action, and temperature on the viscosity of AM/MSBM were studied. The results indicate that AM/MSBM exhibits anti electrolyte solution behavior. Under experimental conditions (salinity of 1075.9mg·L-1, temperature of 45-75℃, shear rate of 2000rpm), the viscosity retention rate of AM/MSBM is over 90%. The simulation oil displacement experiment results show that AM/MSBM can improve oil recovery by 13.2%.
Acrylamide polymers are a collective term for homopolymers of acrylamide (AM) and copolymers obtained by polymerization of AM with other monomers. Most of these polymers are linear water-soluble polymers and are one of the most widely used water-soluble polymer products in oil fields. The most representative one is the copolymer of AM and acrylic acid.
As oil field development enters the later stage, improving oil recovery technology has become one of the important measures for sustainable development of oil fields. The production, performance, and application research of polyacrylamide (PAM) are receiving increasing attention. PAM and its derivatives are widely used in tertiary oil recovery in the petroleum industry, becoming an important means to improve crude oil recovery.
PAM was successfully developed in 1893, but it was not until 1954 that it was industrially produced. China began producing PAM in the early 1960s, with a relatively small production scale. Ding Wei et al. synthesized 3- (acrylamide propyl dimethylamine) propanesulfonate (DMAPAAS) from acrylamide propyl dimethylamine (DMAPAA) and 1,3-propylsulfolactone at 55℃ for 20 hours;DMAPAAS and AM underwent free radical copolymerization reaction in salt solution to synthesize a zero net charge sulfonated betaine type zwitterionic copolymer P (AM-DMAPAAS).
On the basis of literature methods, this article uses dimethylaminoethanol and acryloyl chloride as raw materials to prepare dimethylaminoethyl acrylate (DMAEA);DMAEA reacts with 1,3-propanesulfolactone to produce betaine type vinyl zwitterionic monomer - methacryloxyethyl dimethylpropanesulfonic acid ammonium (MSBM);MSBM co polymerized with 50% AM aqueous solution to synthesize amphoteric polymer acrylamide/methacryloyloxyethyl dimethylpropanesulfonate ammonium (AM/MSBM, Scheme 1), and its structure was confirmed by 1H NMR and IR. The effects of mineralization, shear action, and temperature on the viscosity of AM/MSBM were studied.

Add 10g of DMAEA and 150mL of acetone to a four necked bottle, stir and add 6g of propanesulfone dropwise. React at 30℃ for 24 hours. Filter, vacuum dry filter cake to obtain white solid MSBM 3.9g.

Centrifuge with a 10000r• min-1 centrifuge and vacuum dry the precipitate to obtain a white solid AM/MSBM.
1.3 Oil Displacement Performance Testing
Test conditions: The displacement core is a quartz sand epoxy cemented heterogeneous artificial core (4.5cm×4.5cm×30cm), with a permeability variation coefficient of 0.65. The experimental oil used was degassed crude oil from Daqing Oilfield, simulated saline water (mineralization degree 4303.60mg•L-1), polymer solution 1000mg•L-1, and experimental temperature of 45℃.
Test steps: Evacuate the core for 3.5 hours, measure the porosity of the artificial core with saturated saline water, and dry it at 45℃ for 2 hours. Use degassed crude oil to drive water until no water is produced at the model outlet, and determine the original oil saturation. At a displacement rate of 1m•d-1, water was driven to the outlet of the core model with a water content of>98%, and a polymer solution plug of 0.38PV was injected.
