preparation example Construction

[0032] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the low-density film-coated ceramsite proppant described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0033] (1) Active carbon is mixed with resin to obtain membrane material;

[0034] (2) under the action of a coupling agent, the membrane material is used to coat the ceramsite to obtain a coating mixture;

[0035] (3) Adding a curing agent and a lubricant in sequence to the coating mixture, and obtaining a low-density coated ceramsite proppant after complete curing.

[0036] The invention mixes activated carbon with resin to obtain membrane material. In the present invention, the mixing is preferably carried out under stirring conditions; the present invention has no special requirements on the speed and time of the stirring, as long as the activated carbon and the resin can be mixed evenly. In the present invention, the equipment used for mixing is preferably a sand mixer.

Abstract

The invention provides a low-density coated ceramsite proppant, and belongs to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing proppants. The low-density coated ceramsite proppant is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60-100 parts of ceramsite, 0.2-10 parts of resin, 2-20 parts of activated carbon, 0.1-1 part of a coupling agent, 0.2-0.6 parts of a curing agent and 0.5-1 part of a lubricant. The activated carbon and resin are used as a film material and are applied to the surface of ceramsite under the action of the coupling agent by coating, and uniform coating and curing of the film material are achieved by cooperating with the curing agent and the lubricant; the activated carbon has rich micropores, and orifices of the activated carbon are closed by the resin material through mixing and curing with the resin. Thus, strength of the prepared coated ceramsite proppant can be ensured, certain gaps can be contained in the film material, and density is reduced; besides, the activated carbon has hydrophobic characteristic, and the hydrophobic surface of the activated carbon can reduce settling velocity of the activated carbon in fracturing fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing proppants, in particular to a low-density film-coated ceramsite proppant and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing is an effective measure for increasing production of oil and gas wells and increasing injection of water wells. During the construction process, a large amount of proppant is required to fill formation fractures. For oil and gas well reservoirs with high closure pressure, the proppant is mainly ceramsite. The relative density of ceramsite is relatively high, which requires high fracturing fluid performance and pumping conditions. [0003] At present, with the development of shale gas and the maturity of horizontal well fracturing technology, higher requirements are placed on proppant. Low-density proppant can greatly reduce the settlement of proppant in the process of fracturing fluid transmission, increase the Potential value o...
