Problems solved by technology

However, directly dispersing ammonium persulfate in the hydrogel will inevitably cause local concentration of the breaker, which will affect the breaking efficiency and the sand-carrying ability of the sand-carrying fluid; Surface-based breakers are expensive to produce and have low release efficiency
Moreover, this gel breaker uses oxidation to degrade the galactomannan in the fracturing fluid, destroying the C-O-C bond and causing the polysaccharide thickener gel to break, while the polyhydric alcohol gel system C-O-B-O-C It is invalid and cannot make it completely break the glue
[0005] (2) For the jelly with boron as the crosslinking center, in the gel breaking process of hydration under acidic conditions, the direct addition of acid substances will destroy the jelly in a short time, resulting in the loss of the sand-carrying ability of the sand-carrying fluid
Moreover, the continuous hydrolysis of this boron-based cross-linking agent to free B will trigger the cross-linking reaction again, resulting in the phenomenon of "returning glue".
[0006] (3) Biological enzyme is a special protein that can degrade polysaccharide colloids; but it has no effect on polyhydric alcohol system jelly
[0007] (4) Some organic esters will also be hydrolyzed to generate acid in the presence of water, and then break the gel of the fracturing fluid, but the gel breaking of esters is slow, and it is difficult to ensure the timely release of proppant

Embodiment 1

[0022] When applying the directional gel breaking method provided by the present invention, firstly, formic acid accounting for 0.5% of the total amount of the fracturing fluid is mixed into the pre-fluid used to generate fractures in the rock formation, and then, the proppant is mixed with 0.5% of the total amount of the fracturing fluid. The sand-carrying fluid entering the formation is mixed with ethyl formate accounting for 0.5% of the total fracturing fluid, so as to realize the breaking of the viscoelastic gel of the polyhydric alcohol system. After the fracturing fluid of the polyhydric alcohol system is broken by the gel breaking method of this embodiment, the viscosity of the breaking fluid is lower than 5 mPa·s and there is no sign of reverse gel, the gel breaking effect is obvious, and the sand-carrying ability of the sand-carrying fluid is obvious. will not be affected.

Abstract

The invention discloses an acid esters coordination directional glue crushing method which belongs to the technical field of fracturing technique in production of an oil field, and comprises the steps of adding acid in prepad fluid and adding ester in sand carrying liquid. As for the acid esters coordination directional glue crushing method, not only is the sand carrying capability of the sand carrying liquid not influenced, but also the acid releasing speed and the acid releasing capability can be controlled reasonably, so that the environment of pH less than or equal to 7.5 can be created for polyhydroxy-alcohol system fracturing liquid, therefore, polyhydroxy-alcohol system jelly is hydrated completely and a glue returning phenomenon can not be caused.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for breaking the gel of a polyhydric alcohol system fracturing fluid used for realizing low-permeability oil well reservoir reconstruction in the fracturing process of oilfield production, in particular to a method for directional gel breaking with an ester compound. Background technique [0002] Fracturing is one of the important measures to increase oil production. The process is to use the viscoelastic gel to carry the proppant into the formation fractures to prevent the closure of the fractures, thereby increasing the porosity and permeability of the rock formation. According to the construction process, the fracturing fluid is divided into three parts, pre-fluid, sand-carrying fluid and displacement fluid. The main function of the pre-fluid is to generate fractures, the main function of the sand-carrying fluid is to use viscoelastic gel to bring the proppant into the formation, and the displacement fluid is to en...
