Problems solved by technology

[0004] Conventional fracturing balls are mostly made of steel, which has defects such as high density and difficult flowback
Composite polymer fracturing balls have the advantage of low density, but there is a risk of being deformed and stuck into the ball seat in the high-temperature and high-pressure downhole environment

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of magnesium alloy material preparing and oil and gas field development, and particularly relates to a magnesium alloy used for manufacturing a soluble fracturing ball and a preparing method of the magnesium alloy. The alloy is composed of 5wt.% to 8wt.% of Zn, 2wt.% to 7wt.% of Ca, 0.5wt.% to 4wt.% of Nd, 0.2wt.% to 2wt.% of FeCl3, 0.5wt.% to 2wt.% of Cu, 0.5wt.% to 2wt.% of Ni and the balance Mg. The material is prepared through two steps of melting casting and subsequent hot extrusion processing. The magnesium alloy material has the beneficial effects of being low in density, high in mechanical strength, rapid in dissolution in a water solution containing an electrolyte and the like. The material is used for machining the fracturing ball used in the oil and gas field fracturing transformation process, and the problems of clamping, blocking, difficult returning and discharging and the like in the traditional fracturing ball construction process can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of magnesium alloy material preparation and oil and gas field development, and in particular relates to a magnesium alloy used for manufacturing soluble fracturing balls and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The development of low-permeability unconventional oil and gas resources must rely on reservoir stimulation technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and acid fracturing to achieve the purpose of increasing single well production. Fracturing is a technology commonly used in oil and gas field reconstruction at present. [0003] In multi-layer and multi-stage fracturing, fracturing balls of different sizes need to be used to separate the layers before fracturing construction. After the construction of all layers is completed, the fracturing balls will be flowed back from the wellbore to the ground using formation pressure to open up The well way realizes the exploitation of oil and gas. ...
