[0010] Application publication number CN 111303858 A introduces "a quartz sand proppant and its preparation method and preparation device. The method is to use the fan in the drying and impurity removal process to promote particle friction and completely destroy the defective quartz sand particles. , become smaller particles and be removed, thereby improving the strength of the quartz sand proppant particles. In this invention, the edges and corners and burrs on the surface of the quartz sand particles are not removed by friction, which reduces the sphericity of the particles, thereby further increasing The crushing rate of the particles is increased, the compressive strength of the quartz sand particles cannot be effectively improved, and the output of the production process is reduced.

Embodiment 1

[0056] Sampling 1000 grams of raw materials of 100 tons of natural quartz sand particles purchased in Zigong, Sichuan and divided them into two parts of 500 grams each. Sieve and measure the crushing rate after drying indoors. The quartz sand has been cleaned and preliminarily screened by a professional sand washing factory before it is purchased into the factory.

[0057] After testing, the quartz sand particles contain 0.03% mud, the sieve residue of particles with a particle size greater than 1.2 mm is 0, and the water content is 7%. Confirm that it can go directly to the vertical shaft crusher for production.

[0058] Another part of the quartz sand sample was dried, and then sieved by a standard sieving machine for testing to separate 160 grams of 40-70 mesh quartz sand and 265 grams of 70-140 mesh quartz sand. Using a microscope to test separately, the roundness of 40-70 mesh quartz sand is 0.3, and the sphericity is 0.35; the roundness of 70-140 mesh quartz sand is 0....

Embodiment 2

[0073] 30 tons of the finished 40-70 mesh quartz sand proppant for fracturing produced in Example 1 were used, and the operations of Step 2 and Step 4 were repeated again to further improve the compression resistance.

[0074] It should be noted that the 40-70 mesh fracturing quartz sand proppant produced in Example 1 has a crushing rate of 12.5% ​​at 28 MPa and 7.1% at 21 MPa. Requirements for quartz sand proppant for fracturing, but do not meet the requirements for quartz sand proppant for fracturing of 28MPa and above. The turbidity of the finished product is 56FTU, the mud content is less than 0.01%, and the water content is 3.3%, so the operation of step 3 is not required.

[0075] Start the vertical shaft crusher with an impeller diameter of 600 mm and a rotational speed of 1900 rpm, and add 30 tons of the finished 40-70 mesh quartz sand proppant for fracturing produced in the above-mentioned Example 1 to the crusher evenly by using a belt conveyor At the feed port, the...

Embodiment 3

[0084] Production and processing of 100 tons of quartz sand granule raw materials purchased in Lu County, Sichuan.

[0085] The quartz sand is also the raw material used in glass production. It is the product of primary crushing, secondary crushing, and then cleaning of the ore mined in the quartz mining area.

[0086] Take a sample of 1000 grams and divide it into two parts of 500 grams each. One part is used for testing the mud content, particle size and water content of the quartz sand, and the other part is used for screening and breaking rate determination after indoor drying. After testing, the quartz sand particles contain 0.01% mud, the sieve residue is 0 if the particle size is larger than 1.2 mm, and the water content is 7.3%. Confirm that it can go directly to the vertical shaft crusher for production.

[0087]Another part of the quartz sand sample was dried, and then sieved by a standard sieving machine for testing to separate 130 grams of 40-70 mesh quartz sand a...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for improving the compressive strength of a quartz sand proppant for fracturing. The method is realized by the following steps of: 1, detecting, treating and screening quartz sand particle raw materials, wherein it is required that the silt content of the quartz sand raw material particles is not higher than 3%, the particle size is not greater than 1.2 mm and the water content is not greater than 12%; 2, carrying out sphericity and defect treatment of the quartz sand particles, wherein high-speed centrifugal casting, collision and friction are generated on the quartz sand particles through high-speed rotation of a vertical shaft type crusher, so that the sphericity of the particles is improved, defective particles are removed, bonding between different particles is relieved, and the crushing rate of the particles is reduced; 3, carrying out turbidity and water treatment of the quartz sand particles, wherein the turbidity is reduced in a water washing mode, and the water content is reduced in a drying mode of drying, airing and air flow evaporation; and 4, screening the quartz sand particles, wherein screening is performed by using a screening machine to obtain the finished product of the quartz sand proppant for fracturing, which meets the requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of quartz sand proppant used for hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells, and in particular relates to a preparation method for improving the compressive strength of quartz sand proppant used for fracturing. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells is to use surface high-pressure pumps to inject fracturing fluid with proppants such as quartz sand and ceramsite into the well at a displacement that greatly exceeds the absorption capacity of the formation, and then suffocate high pressure near the bottom of the well. When the pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the rock near the borehole wall, fractures will be formed in the formation. After the pump is stopped, the liquid will return to the surface under the pressure of the formation pressure, while the proppant will stay in the formation and form in the formation with a sufficient length. , sand-filled cracks of a certain...
