Background
As onshore oil fields in China enter the later stage of high water content development, the pressure of an oil layer is gradually reduced, and in order to realize long-term stable development, energy needs to be supplemented to the stratum and the pressure of the oil layer needs to be maintained, so that the aim of improving the yield of crude oil by 'displacing oil with water' is fulfilled. Therefore, in oil field development, a lot of water injection wells are drilled in addition to a lot of oil production wells, and individual wells with high water content are changed to water injection wells after a period of production. And injecting water into the underground oil layer through the water injection well to maintain the pressure of the oil layer, so that the recovery ratio of the crude oil is improved. Water injection monitoring is the key of 'displacement of reservoir oil with water' failure, and the monitoring uncertainty can influence the utilization of petroleum resources and even can cause major accidents, such as 'Kangfei oil leakage' accident of Bohai sea. In addition, after the oil field enters the middle and later stages, the water injection cost is greatly increased along with the multiple increase of the water injection quantity. Therefore, the waterflood indexes play more and more important roles in measuring the oil reservoir development effect. However, due to the differences in the geological conditions of the various fields, the formation conditions of even the same reservoir are quite complex. How to inject water can achieve the best development effect is always one of the focus problems concerned by oil field logging.
The radioactive isotope tracing method is the most common method for acquiring water absorption profile information at present in an oil field. During logging, the radioactive isotope tracer is released at a specified depth, the tracer and the borehole injection form an activated suspension, and when the selected tracer diameter is equal to the pore diameter of the formation, the injection in the suspension enters the formation, and the tracer is filtered and deposited on the borehole wall. The injection amount of the stratum, the tracer amount accumulated on the section of stratum well wall and the radioactive intensity of the tracer are in a direct proportion relation, and water injection information can be calculated and obtained by comparing gamma logging curves measured before and after the formation accumulation by the tracer. Compared with other well logging methods, the radioactive isotope tracing well logging method has the advantages of high sensitivity, simplicity and convenience in method, accuracy in positioning and quantification and the like. However, the existing isotope tracer products have a prominent problem that the pressure resistance is low (less than or equal to 60 MPa). At present, as onshore oil fields in China successively enter the middle and later periods of exploitation, oil production wells become deeper and deeper, geological environments become more and more complex, and higher requirements are put forward on the pressure resistance of isotope tracers. The existing isotope tracer agent can be broken due to low pressure resistance when in use, so that the problems of easy desorption of the isotope, small particle size of the tracer agent and the like are caused, and when the particle size of the tracer agent is smaller than the pore of a stratum, the tracer agent can enter the stratum along with water instead of being accumulated on a well wall, so that finally, the acquired logging information is inaccurate or even wrong.

In order to better utilize the adsorbability of a porous material to adsorb radioactive isotopes, the conventional preparation process of the radioactive isotope tracer mainly adopts a porous material with high porosity and large specific surface area, and the pressure resistance of the porous material with stronger adsorption performance is lower, so that the pressure resistance of a porous material carrier is generally sacrificed in the conventional process. Compared with the existing preparation process of the radioactive isotope tracer, the preparation process disclosed by the invention has the advantages that after the radioactive isotope is adsorbed and fixed by the porous material carrier, the porous material is subjected to high-temperature treatment, so that the pores of the porous material after the radioactive isotope is adsorbed are obviously reduced and are contracted into more compact porous small balls, and further the pressure resistance index of the porous material is obviously improved, the problem that the adsorbability and the pressure resistance of the porous adsorbing material carrier in the existing preparation process of the radioactive isotope tracer cannot be simultaneously solved, and finally, the pressure resistance index of the isotope tracer is obviously improved, so that the preparation process is more suitable for oil and gas exploitation in medium-deep wells and complex geological exploitation environments.
