Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fracturing fluids, and particularly relates to a small molecule low adsorption water-blocking fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The "water-blocking effect" refers to the phenomenon that during processes such as drilling, well completion, and fracturing, after aqueous fluid such as drilling fluid, well completion fluid, and fracturing fluid invades the reservoir, the water saturation of the reservoir increases from the initial water saturation to the irreducible water saturation and then to 100% water saturation, the gas flow resistance increases, and the gas permeability decreases. In essence, due to capillary pressure, an additional skin pressure drop is generated, which is equal to the difference between the non-wetting phase pressure and the wetting phase pressure on both sides of the capillary meniscus, and its magnitude can be determined by the Laplace equation of any curved interface.
[0003] For low-permeability or tight gas reservoirs, the pore throat size for fluid free flow in the reservoir is small, the gas flow channel is narrow, the seepage resistance is large, and the interaction forces between the liquid-solid interface and the liquid-gas interface are large, making the water-blocking effect particularly prominent. Once water-blocking occurs, the permeability damage rate can reach more than 70%, and the gas well production will drop to less than 1 / 3 of the original. Research shows that clay minerals (especially swelling clay minerals) and other authigenic minerals in the reservoir are in a certain salinity. When low-salinity water enters the reservoir, due to the change in salinity, these minerals will expand, disperse, fall off, and migrate, resulting in smaller pores or closed fractures, more micro-pores, and strong water absorption areas, leading to extremely strong water-blocking damage. Currently, most of the fracturing fluid systems used in domestic fields are water-based. When the fracturing fluid breaker fluid cannot be discharged in time, it is easy to generate strong water absorption areas and cause serious water-blocking damage of the fracturing fluid, resulting in no production increase after fracturing, especially for tight gas reservoir fracturing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a small molecule low adsorption water-blocking fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof. The fracturing fluid has a small viscosity, good water-blocking performance, fast gel-breaking speed, and little damage to the formation, and can effectively solve the water-blocking problem existing in the prior art fracturing fluid.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is:
[0006] A small molecule low adsorption water-blocking fracturing fluid is composed of a base fluid, a breaker solution, and a crosslinking agent solution in a volume ratio of 100:8 - 10:1 - 2;
[0007] The base fluid includes the following components in weight percentages: 0.1 - 0.2% of small molecule modified guar gum, 0.2 - 1% of polyacrylamide, 0.05 - 0.3% of water-blocking agent, 0.3 - 0.7% of degradable fiber, and the rest is water;
[0008] The crosslinking agent solution comprises the following components by weight percentage: 0.2 - 0.6% of organic boron crosslinking agent or 0.2 - 0.6% of organic titanium crosslinking agent, and the rest is water;
[0009] The breaker solution comprises the following components by weight percentage: 0.1 - 0.3% of capsule coat, 1 - 2% of capsule core, and the rest is water.
[0010] In the above solution, two components, small molecule modified guar gum and polyacrylamide, are used as thickeners. The small molecule modified guar gum has small molecules, good water solubility, pH stability, and is easy to break gel. Moreover, its thickening ability is strong, which can effectively improve the thickening degree of the fracturing fluid; polyacrylamide has good water solubility and is transparent after dissolution. Using the small molecule modified guar gum and polyacrylamide together can not only reduce the residue content in the fracturing fluid, but also improve the stability and durability of the fracturing fluid, and the fracturing fluid after the combination of the two has good sand-carrying capacity;
[0011] The crosslinking agent can polymerize the small molecule modified guar gum and polyacrylamide to form a gel-like substance, improving the sand-carrying and suspension abilities;
[0012] Degradable fibers are added to the base fluid, which can degrade under the temperature environment of the reservoir, generating an acidic liquid environment, promoting the dissolution of the capsule coat of the breaker, releasing a large amount of the breaker in the capsule, and the breaker quickly breaks the fracturing fluid to form a flowback fluid for discharge, shortening the discharge time and reducing the residue in the reservoir.
[0013] Furthermore, the preparation method of the small molecule modified guar gum is as follows: spray the β-mannose aqueous solution onto the guar gum powder under stirring conditions, then irradiate the powder with ultraviolet light and dry it to obtain small molecule guar gum; stir and mix the small molecule guar gum and isopropanol, then add sodium hydroxide solution to the mixture and continue to stir and mix evenly, raise the temperature to 110 - 130 °C and react for 1 - 2 h, and then continue to add propylene oxide in an inert gas environment and stir and react for 1 - 2 h.
[0014] Furthermore, the concentration of the β-mannose aqueous solution is 1 - 10 μ / ml, the ultraviolet irradiation wavelength is 250 - 253 nm, and the irradiation intensity is 20 - 30 μW / cm 2 , the drying temperature is 30 - 80 °C; the mass percentage of isopropanol in the small molecule modified guar gum is 35 - 45%, the mass percentage of sodium hydroxide solution in the small molecule modified guar gum is 15 - 25%, and the mass percentage of propylene oxide in the small molecule modified guar gum is 2 - 5%.
[0015] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the small molecule modified guar gum is 200,000 - 500,000 daltons.
[0016] In the above solution, the small molecule modified guar gum is substituted with hydroxypropyl and alcohol hydroxyl groups. These groups disrupt the intermolecular forces of the guar gum, enabling the fracturing fluid to improve the conductivity of the supported fractures after entering the water-blocked formation, maximizing the promotion of water backflow in the formation and reducing the water-blocking effect. Since the guar gum is prepared into a small molecule structure, on the basis of ensuring the suspension and sand-carrying performance of the fracturing fluid, it can also promote subsequent gel breaking and improve the gel breaking efficiency.
[0017] Further, the water-blocking agent includes nano-silica and a fluorocarbon surfactant, and the mass ratio of nano-silica to the fluorocarbon surfactant is 6 - 8:1.
[0018] In the above solution, the polar end of the fluorocarbon surfactant is adsorbed onto the surface of the highly electronegative nano-silica particles through electrostatic attraction, causing the non-polar end with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to face outward. When in use, it can not only improve the dispersibility of nano-silica through the principle of like charges repelling each other, avoiding the phenomenon of silica agglomeration, but also form a hydrophobic and oleophobic protective film on the rock surface through the exposed hydrophobic and oleophobic ends, increasing the contact angle of the backflow fracturing fluid on the protective film, significantly reducing the viscous resistance of the fluid on the solid surface, improving the fluidity of the liquid, and thereby reducing the water-blocking effect in the rock.
[0019] Further, the water-blocking agent further includes at least one of methanol, ethylene glycol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, and isobutanol.
[0020] In the above solution, an alcohol-based water-blocking agent is also added to assist nano-silica and the fluorocarbon surfactant in improving the water-blocking effect. During the backflow process of the fracturing fluid, it absorbs the residual water in the rock formation, reducing the water-blocking effect.
[0021] Further, the degradable fiber is polylactic acid fiber and / or polycarbonate fiber.
[0022] Further, the molecular weight of the degradable fiber is 7 million - 10 million Daltons, and the length of the degradable fiber is 0.3 - 0.5 mm.
[0023] Further, the capsule coat is an acid-soluble capsule coat.
[0024] In the above solution, the degradable fiber degrades under the storage temperature environment to form an acidic liquid environment. The acidic environment can dissolve the capsule coat of the gel breaker, promoting the release of the core gel breaker. The released gel breaker promotes the formation of a backflow fluid from the fracturing fluid and discharges it.
[0025] Further, the material of the capsule coat is chitosan, and the material of the core includes at least two of ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, potassium permanganate, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and sodium chloride.
[0026] Further, the material of the core includes ammonium persulfate and sodium chloride.
[0027] In the above solution, ammonium persulfate can promote the dissolution and degradation of small molecule modified guar gum, and sodium chloride can promote the dissolution of polyacrylamide. When the two are used together, the flowback effect of the fracturing fluid is improved.
[0028] The preparation method of the above small molecule low adsorption water blocking fracturing fluid includes the following steps:
[0029] (1) Under stirring conditions, add small molecule modified guar gum, polyacrylamide, water blocking agent and degradable fiber to water. After stirring and mixing evenly, adjust the pH value to weak alkalinity to obtain the base fluid;
[0030] (2) Under stirring conditions, add organic boron crosslinking agent or organic titanium crosslinking agent to water. After stirring and mixing evenly, obtain the crosslinking agent;
[0031] (3) Mix the base fluid, crosslinking agent and breaker, and stir and mix evenly to obtain the product.
[0032] The beneficial effects produced by the present invention are as follows:
[0033] 1. The fracturing fluid of the present invention contains two stabilizers, small molecule modified guar gum and polyacrylamide. The two act synergistically with each other, making the fracturing fluid have fluid characteristics, and can achieve the performance of full suspension, low damage and low dosage. Its viscosity is small, it is easy to pump, and it has strong sand carrying capacity; due to the small amount of guar gum used, the residue in the formation can be reduced, and the damage to the formation can be reduced.
[0034] 2. A capsule breaker is added to the fracturing fluid of the present invention. After the capsule dissolves, a large amount of breaker is released, which can quickly break the gel and flow back, reducing the damage to the formation.
[0035] 3. A water blocking agent is added to the fracturing fluid of the present invention. In addition, the small molecule modified guar gum used in the present invention itself contains hydrophobic and oleophobic groups and also has water blocking performance. The small molecule modified guar gum and the water blocking agent can form a hydrophobic and oleophobic layer in the rock formation to promote the liquid flowback. An adsorbent is also added to the water blocking agent, which can further adsorb the residual water in the rock formation and improve the water blocking effect. Specific Embodiments

[0111] Experimental Example
[0112] I. Low-temperature dissolution performance test
[0113] Taking the products in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 as examples, water at 5°C was added to the products in an environment of 5°C, and stirred at a speed of 300 r / min to prepare a fracturing fluid with a mass concentration of 1%. The viscosity of the fracturing fluid was measured every 1 minute. The specific results are shown in Table 1.
[0114] Table 1: Viscosity test results
[0115]
[0116]
[0117] It can be seen from the data in the above table that the dissolution rate of the fracturing fluid in this application is relatively fast, which can meet the technical requirements of on-site liquid preparation and construction.
[0118] II. Temperature and shear resistance performance test
[0119] The 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was subjected to a shear resistance test at 120°C using a rheometer, and the shear rate was 170 s -1 , and the heating rate was 3°C / min. After heating to 120°C and shearing for 1 h, the temperature and shear resistance performance of the 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid was observed.
[0120] Through the shear results, it was found that the viscosity of the 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid in Example 1 was greater than 50 mPa·s after shearing for 1 h, generally between 58-60 mPa·s, and had good temperature and shear resistance performance;
[0121] The viscosity of the 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid in Comparative Example 1 was greater than 50 mPa·s after shearing for 1 h, generally between 51-53 mPa·s, and also had good temperature and shear resistance performance;
[0122] The viscosity of the 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid in Comparative Example 2 was greater than 50 mPa·s after shearing for 1 h, generally between 56-58 mPa·s, and also had good temperature and shear resistance performance;
[0123] The viscosity of the 1% aqueous solution of the fracturing fluid in Comparative Example 3 was greater than 50 mPa·s after shearing for 1 h, generally between 50-51 mPa·s, and also had good temperature and shear resistance performance.
[0124] III. Water-blocking performance test
[0125] A simulated core was used, and the water-blocking performance of the fracturing fluid was tested according to SY / T 6540-2002. The specific test results are shown in Table 2.
[0126] Table 2: Water-blocking performance
[0127]
[0128]
[0129] As can be seen from the results in the above table, the fracturing fluid in Example 1 has good water-blocking performance and less damage to the formation.
[0130] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 1, in Comparative Example 1, the addition of polyacrylamide was cancelled and the use of small molecule modified guar gum was increased. It can be seen that the dissolution performance of the prepared fracturing fluid decreased slightly.
[0131] Comparing Comparative Example 2 with Example 1, the water-blocking agent in Comparative Example 2 is only methanol. From the results, it can be seen that the water-blocking performance of the fracturing fluid in Comparative Example 2 becomes worse, proving that the use of nano-silica and fluorocarbon surfactant in the water-blocking agent has a great influence on the water-blocking performance.
[0132] Comparing Comparative Example 3 with Example 1, in Comparative Example 3, the use of small molecule modified guar gum was cancelled. From the results, it can be seen that the water-blocking performance of the fracturing fluid in Comparative Example 3 becomes worse, proving that the hydrophobic and oleophobic groups contained in the small molecule modified guar gum directly affect the water-blocking performance of the fracturing fluid.
