Problems solved by technology

[0003] The viscoelastic surfactant cleaning fracturing fluid can easily break the gel when encountering oil or water. It is no problem to break the gel in ordinary oil wells or water wells, but for natural gas wells, coalbed methane wells, etc. There is still a certain degree of difficulty in breaking the gel of the fracturing fluid, and the gel breaking of the clean fracturing fluid in natural gas is still not ideal, causing a certain degree of reservoir damage
[0004] In addition, cationic surfactants are generally used in clean fracturing fluids, but cationic surfactants are seriously adsorbed in the reservoir, changing the wettability of the reservoir, and causing a certain degree of damage to the reservoir

Abstract

The invention discloses a clean fracturing fluid for automatically breaking gel in reservoirs and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of oil and gas field stimulation. The technical scheme is: (1) short carbon chain methacrylate and dimethylamine aqueous solution in a molar ratio of 1:1~3, stirred and reacted at room temperature for 24 hours, and the excess dimethylamine solution was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain tertiary amine product, with CO 2 / CH 4 Response properties, as a stimulus-responsive counterion; (2) 0.5-2% tertiary amine, CO 2 Until it is clear and transparent, quaternary ammonium salt is obtained as a counter ion salt, and then 1-5% of anionic surfactant thickener, 0.3-2% of clay stabilizer and the rest of water are added to obtain viscoelastic clean fracturing fluid. Tertiary amines are covered by CO 2 The quaternary ammonium counter ion generated by protonation is unstable under the action of natural gas, and slowly deprotonated to become a tertiary amine. The clean fracturing fluid will automatically break the gel, and the viscosity will drop significantly, which is helpful for flowback. In tight gas, coalbed methane and Shale gas fracturing has broad application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a clean fracturing fluid system for automatically breaking gel in reservoirs and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) clean fracturing fluid is a new type of fracturing fluid system developed in recent years. It has the advantages of strong sand-carrying ability, low fluid loss, no residue damage, and high flowback volume. It is especially suitable for Fracturing stimulation of low permeability oil and gas reservoirs and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. [0003] The viscoelastic surfactant cleaning fracturing fluid can easily break the gel when encountering oil or water. It is no problem to break the gel in ordinary oil wells or water wells, but for natural gas wells, coalbed methane wells, etc. There is still a certain degree of difficulty in gel breaking with fracturing fluid, and the gel breaking of clean fracturing fluid in natural gas is still unsatisfactory, caus...
