AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing self-reactive energized fracturing fluids have the problem of thickener adsorption and retention in rocks, and the liquid flow resistance is high, which seriously damages low-permeability reservoirs and cannot effectively reduce the flow resistance caused by the combination of the hydrophilicity of the inner wall of the core matrix pore throat and the fracturing fluid.

Method used

A composition including ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite and a flow enhancer is used. The flow enhancer is prepared by chemically loading it on nano-silica. The composition is combined with a thickener, a clay stabilizer, a drainage aid, a cross-linking agent and a pH adjuster to form a fracturing fluid, thereby reducing the adsorption and retention of the thickener and reducing the liquid flow resistance.

Benefits of technology

In low-permeability reservoirs, fracturing fluid can generate additional fluid flowback energy through self-generation, reduce the adsorption and retention of thickeners on the rock surface, reduce liquid flow resistance, improve flowback capacity, and reduce damage to low-permeability reservoirs. The core permeability damage rate is only 11% to 15%.

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application CN202310621391.8, filed on May 30, 2023, entitled “A composition and fracturing fluid containing the same,” and the entire contents of CN202310621391.8 are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas reservoir transformation, and in particular relates to a composition and a fracturing fluid containing the composition. Background Art

[0004] Domestic tight oil and gas reservoirs with normal pressure, low pressure, and low permeability are characterized by low porosity, low permeability, and insufficient flowback displacement pressure. During fracturing, bio-based fracturing fluid residue, adsorption retention, and water lock damage can lead to severe core matrix damage, with a core damage rate of approximately 30%. To address this issue, research and application of self-reactive energized fracturing fluids have been conducted both domestically and internationally. This is an effective technical approach to enhance the kinetic energy of fracturing fluid flowback and reduce reservoir damage.

[0005] However, the bio-based thickeners in existing self-reactive energized fracturing fluids can cause adsorption damage to rocks. Hydrogen bonding and chemical bonding are key sources of adsorption between guar gum and rock.

[0180] Fracturing fluid performance evaluation

[0181] 1. Determination of gas volume generated by fracturing fluid reaction

[0182] i. Directly placing the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 into sealed wide-mouth bottles with air guide tubes, and connecting the outlets of the air guide tubes to a gas collection device;

[0183] ⅱ Place the wide-mouth bottle containing the fracturing fluid in a constant temperature water bath, heat it to 90℃ and then keep the temperature constant. Collect the gas generated by the fracturing fluid reaction until no more gas is generated. Calculate the amount of gas generated, which is the reaction gas volume of the fracturing fluid.

[0184] See Table 1 for specific results.

[0185] Table 1. Gas production from fracturing fluid reaction

[0186] Serial number Reaction gas amount / mol Example 2 0.09 Comparative Example 1 0.09 Comparative Example 2 0 Comparative Example 3 0 Example 3 0.09 Comparative Example 4 0.09 Example 4 0.09 Example 5 0.09 Example 6 0.11 Comparative Example 5 0.11 Example 7 0.11 Example 8 0.13 Comparative Example 6 0.13 Example 9 0.13 Comparative Example 7 0.13 Example 10 0.13

[0187] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the fracturing fluids containing ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite prepared in Examples 2 to 10 can react to generate gas at 90℃, and the data of Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, Example 6 and Comparative Example 5, Example 8 and Comparative Example 6, Example 9 and Comparative Example 7 show that the addition of flow enhancer does not affect the gas generation effect of ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite. There is a positive correlation between the total mass ratio of sodium nitrite and ammonium chloride in the fracturing fluid and the amount of gas generated by the reaction, the greater the total mass ratio of sodium nitrite and ammonium chloride in the fracturing fluid, the more the amount of gas generated by the reaction, the stronger the pressure boosting capacity to the formation, which is beneficial to improve the flowback of the fracturing fluid.

[0188] 2. Determination of adsorption amount of thickening agent, starting pressure and damage rate of matrix permeability

[0189] The low-temperature gel breaker used in the following experiments was purchased from Dongying Supre Petroleum Engineering Technology Co., Ltd.

[0190] A. Determination of adsorption amount of thickening agent

[0191] Using the device shown in FIG. 1, the adsorption amount of thickening agent of the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 was determined, and the inhibitory capacity of the fracturing fluids to reduce the adsorption damage of thickening agent to the core was evaluated. The specific method is as follows: Figure 2 (1) 600 ppm of low-temperature gel breaker was directly added to the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, and then the fracturing fluids were aged at a temperature of 35℃ for 24 hours until the viscosity of the fracturing fluids after the addition of the low-temperature gel breaker was lower than 5 mPa.s, and then the fracturing fluids were taken out to obtain 16 groups of gel breaking fluids for standby;

[0192] (2) any one of the 16 groups of gel breaking fluids prepared in step (1) was first filled into an intermediate container, the sand filling tube of the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument was filled with core particles with a particle size of 0.21 to 0.3 mm (i.e. 70 to 50 mesh), an average porosity of 10%, and an average permeability of 0.001 mD, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument was preheated to 90℃;

[0193] (3) the valve connecting the nitrogen cylinder to the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument was closed, the valve connecting the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument to the intermediate container was opened, and under the drive of the flow pump, the gel breaking fluid in the intermediate container passed through the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument preheated to 90℃ and filled with core particles at a discharge of 5 mL / min, and after all the gel breaking fluid entered the gel breaking fluid collector, the valve connecting the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument to the intermediate instrument was closed, and then the valve connecting the nitrogen cylinder to the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument was opened, and nitrogen was continued to be blown for 10 minutes to prevent the gel breaking fluid from being mechanically retained in the high-temperature and high-pressure filtration instrument;

[0194]

[0195] ​(4) Obtain a sample of the broken gel liquid from the broken gel liquid collector, detect the residual thickener content therein using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and calculate the amount of thickener adsorbed by the core particles in the sand filling tube of the high-temperature and high-pressure filter loss meter using formula (1);

[0196]

[0197] Where, F is the adsorption amount of thickener, g / g;

[0198] m is the mass of thickener in the gel breaking liquid in the intermediate container without sand filling, g;

[0199] C is the concentration of thickener in the gel-breaking liquid after passing through the sand-filling tube in the gel-breaking liquid collector, g / L;

[0200] V is the volume of the gel-breaking liquid that passes through the sand-filling tube in the gel-breaking liquid collector, L.

[0201] According to steps (2) to (4), 16 groups of gel breaking solutions were used to measure the adsorption capacity of the thickener. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0202] B. Start pressure measurement

[0203] use Figure 3 The core starting pressure measuring device shown is used to measure the starting pressure of the fracturing fluid prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 when flowing back from the core. The specific steps are as follows:

[0204] ① Drill multiple cores from the same low-permeability, dense sandstone core sample, cut them into samples of equal length, then dry them in an oven at 105°C for 24 hours and place them in a drying dish for later use;

[0205] ② Directly add 600 ppm of low-temperature breaker to the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, and then age them at 35°C for 24 hours until the viscosity of the fracturing fluids after adding the low-temperature breaker is less than 5 mPa.s, and then remove them to obtain 16 groups of breaker fluids for standby use;

[0206] ③ The porosity and permeability of the dried rock samples obtained in step ① were measured using an overburden porosimeter. 16 rock samples with substantially consistent porosity and permeability (average porosity 10% and average permeability 0.001 mD) were selected as experimental rock samples. Then, according to the method for establishing initial water saturation in 5.1.5 of Q / SH 0501-2013 "Flow Experimental Evaluation Method for Tight Reservoir Sensitivity", 16 groups of breaking fluids prepared using the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 in step ② were used to establish an initial saturation of 40% with breaking fluid for each of the 16 experimental rock samples.

[0207] ④ Perform a starting pressure test on the 16 experimental rock samples with an initial breaker saturation of 40% obtained in step ③: Place any experimental rock sample with an initial breaker saturation of 40% obtained in step ③ into a core holder. Then adjust the confining pressure pump to apply a confining pressure of 10 MPa to the experimental core. Heat the core holder and the experimental rock sample held therein to 90°C and maintain a constant temperature. Slowly adjust the input displacement nitrogen pressure using a pressure reducing valve. Increase the pressure by 0.1 MPa and observe for 2 minutes each time to displace the breaker liquid until nitrogen flows out of the soap foam flowmeter. The nitrogen pressure at this point is the starting pressure of the experimental rock sample with an initial breaker saturation of 40%. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0208] C. Determination of matrix permeability and damage rate

[0209] For experimental rock samples with an average porosity of 10% and an average permeability of 0.001 mD, an initial water saturation of 40% was established according to Section 5.1.5 of the Initial Water Saturation Establishment Method in Q / SH 0501-2013, "Flow Experimental Evaluation Method for Tight Reservoirs Sensitivity." Using any of the 16 groups of breakers prepared in Step ② of Experiment B as the test medium, a core flooding experiment was conducted at 90°C on the experimental rock samples with an average porosity of 10%, an average permeability of 0.001 mD, and an initial water saturation of 40%, according to Section 7.7 of SY / T 5107-2016, "Performance Evaluation Method for Water-Based Fracturing Fluids." The experiment involved adding a sufficient amount of breakers to the intermediate container at the inlet end, maintaining a displacement pressure of 3.5 MPa, and displacing the breakers through the core holder. The matrix permeability damage rate of the experimental rock samples was analyzed.

[0210] According to the above method, 16 groups of gel-breaking solutions were used to measure the matrix permeability and damage rate. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0211] Table 2. Thickener adsorption, starting pressure, matrix permeability damage rate

[0212]

[0213]

[0214] From the data of thickener adsorption in Table 2, it can be seen that when the fracturing fluid containing flow enhancer prepared in Examples 2 to 10 passes through the powder composed of core particles, the thickener adsorption amount on the core particles is 3.6 to 5.9 mg·g -1 , the thickener adsorption amount is very low; when the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7 without flow enhancer is passed through the powder composed of core particles, the thickener adsorption amount on the core particles is 12 to 16 mg g -1The thickener adsorption amount is significantly higher. This shows that the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 have a significant thickener adsorption inhibition effect, and the amount of thickener adsorbed and retained in the formation is small, which can effectively reduce the solid phase damage of the fracturing fluid to the formation.

[0215] From the starting pressure data in Table 2, it can be seen that the flowback starting pressure of the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 is 0.2 to 0.7 MPa, while the flowback starting pressure of the fracturing fluids prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7 is 1.2 to 1.5 MPa, which is significantly higher than that of Examples 2 to 10, proving that the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 are easier to flow back into the formation.

[0216] From the matrix permeability damage rate data in Table 2, it can be seen that the matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 is 11 to 15%, while the matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluids prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7 is 24 to 27%, which proves that the fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 2 to 10 can significantly reduce the matrix permeability damage rate.

[0217] Combined with the data of thickener adsorption, starting pressure and matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluids prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 in Table 2 and the formula analysis of the fracturing fluids prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Example 3 does not contain the composition provided by the present invention (i.e., ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite and flow enhancer), and its thickener adsorption, starting pressure and matrix permeability damage rate are the highest, which are 18 mg·g -1, 2.1MPa, 32%, it can be seen that the degree of core damage to the formation, including solid phase damage, is the highest, and it is least likely to flow back; compared with Comparative Example 3, the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Example 2 only adds a flow enhancer, and the thickener adsorption amount, starting pressure and matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Example 2 are reduced by 53%, 57% and 46% respectively compared with Comparative Example 3; compared with Comparative Example 3, the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Example 1 only adds ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite, and the thickener adsorption amount, starting pressure and matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluid prepared in Comparative Example 1 are reduced by 33%, 43% and 25% respectively compared with Comparative Example 3; compared with Comparative Example 3, the fracturing fluid prepared in Example 2 adds the composition provided by the present invention (i.e., ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite and flow enhancer), and the thickener adsorption amount, starting pressure and matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluid prepared in Example 2 are reduced by 75%, 80% and 65% respectively compared with Comparative Example 3. The above results show that in the fracturing fluid comprising the composition provided by the present invention, the ammonium chloride, sodium nitrite and flow enhancer in the composition have a synergistic effect in reducing the amount of thickener adsorbed by the fracturing fluid, reducing the fracturing fluid backflow starting pressure and reducing the matrix permeability damage rate of the fracturing fluid. It can not only improve the backflow capacity of the fracturing fluid, but also further reduce the solid phase damage of the fracturing fluid. In addition, the preparation method of the fracturing fluid is simple and does not change the existing construction process. It is of great significance to reducing reservoir damage and improving oil and gas production efficiency.
