Abstract
The present invention discloses a plant-based self-degradable gel diverting agent and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adjusting a pH of a formaldehyde solution, adding urea in three batches, heating and stirring, adding furfural in the process of adding a second batch of urea until a plant-based urea-formaldehyde resin is obtained through the reaction, completely dissolving starch in water, uniformly stirring to obtain a gelatinized starch solution, adding the plant-based urea-formaldehyde resin, adding a curing agent, and uniformly stirring, mixing and curing to obtain a product. The resin plugging agent is a liquid homogeneous system and has a low initial viscosity; the system is particle-free, can enter tiny slits; and the gel temporary plugging agent does not need to be added with a gel breaker at a temperature of 100-180° C., the temporary plugging agent can be completely degraded.
