Abstract

The invention discloses a processing method of a quartz sand proppant, and belongs to the technical field of shale fracturing. The method comprises the steps that: quartz ore with the silicon dioxidecontent being larger than or equal to preset content and the uniaxial compressive strength being larger than or equal to preset strength is obtained; the quartz ore is sequentially subjected to coarsecrushing, fine crushing and screening, so that second ore sand particles with the particle size being within a third particle size range are obtained; the surfaces of the second ore sand particles are rounded, third ore sand particles are obtained; the third ore sand particles are screened, fourth ore sand particles with the particle size within a third particle size range are obtained; and fourth ore sand particles with the crack flow conductivity greater than or equal to preset crack flow conductivity are obtained from the fourth ore sand particles as the quartz sand proppant . The quartz sand proppant can be obtained by processing the quartz ore which is wide in source and low in cost and serves as the raw material; a processing process is simple and convenient; and the processing costof the quartz sand proppant can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shale fracturing, in particular to a processing method for a quartz sand proppant. Background technique

[0002] As a new natural gas resource, shale gas has received more and more attention. Due to the low porosity and low permeability of shale reservoirs, shale reservoirs need to be fractured to increase the production of shale gas. When fracturing shale reservoirs, proppant is an essential additive, which enters the formation together with slick water, fills in the fracturing fractures formed by fracturing shale, and keeps the fracturing fractures open , providing channels for the flow of shale gas.

[0003] Currently, the proppant used in shale fractures is usually quartz sand proppant. The raw material of quartz sand proppant is usually desert sand, and desert sand can be processed into quartz sand proppant relatively easily due to the small particle size of desert sand. However, due to the remot...
