Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an acrylamide copolymer and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] As a typical representative of the utilization of unconventional oil and gas resources - the exploitation of shale gas (oil) resources has become a revolution in the field of unconventional oil and gas resources in the world. Key technologies. Due to the extremely tight oil and gas reservoirs such as shale gas reservoirs have the characteristics of extremely low permeability (generally less than 0.5mD), high fracturing pressure, and easy formation damage. It must be exploited by "reducing water (slick water) fracturing" technology. [0003] "Slick water (slick water) fracturing" is a type of hydraulic fracturing. Compared with the current conventional fracturing system (modified guar gum cross-linking system), drag-reducing water (slick water) fracturing does not rely on high-viscosity colloid to carry sand, but carries sand wit...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, guar gum and its derivatives, cellulose and its derivatives are used as drag reducing agents in drag-reducing water fracturing to a certain extent to increase the pumping displacement and reduce the frictional resistance in the pipeline (US5697444, US5271466), However, it is still unable to meet the requirements of drag-reducing water fracturing, mainly due to the following disadvantages of the above-mentioned biopolymers: (1) limited drag-reducing performance; (2) due to the small amount of insoluble The substances are very easy to cause damage to the formation; (3) The dissolution time is long

[0006] In the construction of drag reducing water fracturing, acrylamide polymers (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide or anionic acrylamide copolymer) are often used as the drag reducing agent in drag reducing water fracturing, which greatly improves the pump injection rate. The displacement and the frictional resistance in the pipeline are reduced, but when used as a drag-reducing water fracturing agent for shale gas reservoirs, there are the following important defects: (1) In order to reduce the "water-sensitive effect" in the fracturing process, suppress The hydration expansion of clay components in shale helps the flowback of fracturing fluid to reduce "water plugging". Part of alcohol must be added to fracturing fluid, but partially hydrolyzed acrylamide or anionic acrylamide copolymer and its emulsion products The compatibility with alcohol is poor, and precipitation is easy to occur; (2) Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide or anionic acrylamide copolymer is used as a drag reducing agent for shale gas reservoir drag reducing water fracturing, and the anti-filtration performance is poor. This kind of drag-reducing water fracturing fluid is very easy to filter out into the formation; (3) The temperature resistance and salt resistance are poor, especially under the conditions of high salinity and high divalent ion content, the molecular structure is unstable, and the drag-reducing effect is relatively low. (4) Traditional high-molecular-weight acrylamide polymers are not easy to degrade, and are likely to cause permanent damage to extremely tight shale formations

[0007] Patent US20090298721A1 discloses a formula of drag reducing water fracturing fluid: add 0.5 gallons of acrylamide-co-acrylic acid copolymer (FR-56 TM ) and other anionic acrylamide copolymer emulsions as drag reducing agents, and then adding 0.15wt% sodium carbonate or EDTA-2Na and other complexing agents, the drag reducing water fracturing fluid has excellent drag reducing performance, and the average indoor drag reducing rate reaches 65.0%, the salt resistance (especially the tolerance to divalent calcium ions) has been improved to a certain extent, but this kind of drag-reducing water fracturing system is used as a shale gas drag-reducing water fracturing fluid, and there are the following problems : (1) The compatibility with alcohol is poor, and it is easy to produce precipitation when it interacts with methanol and other alcohols; (2) The anti-filtration performance is poor, and this kind of drag-reducing water fracturing fluid is easy to filter into the formation; (3) ) In the actual construction, the "water-sensitive effect" is significant; (4) "water blockage" is very easy to occur; (5) the high-speed shear resistance is poor, unstable under high-speed shear, and the resistance reduction rate drops rapidly; ( 6) The temperature and salt resistance is poor, especially under the conditions of high salinity and high divalent ion content, the molecular structure is unstable, and the drag-reducing effect drops rapidly; Permanent damage, contaminating the formation, and then affecting oil and gas production

The copolymer with this kind of structure has better compatibility with alcohol, and better compatibility with clay inhibitors (such as KCl), the "water-sensitive effect" is not significant, and it is not easy to "water blockage". Not easy to degrade, easy to cause permanent damage to extremely tight shale formations
