AI Technical Summary
Existing slickwater fracturing fluids exhibit reduced drag under high salinity conditions and low viscosity, resulting in limited proppant delivery capacity. Furthermore, the limited availability of freshwater resources makes it difficult to meet the fracturing stimulation needs of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.
Fluorosilane-modified gemini surfactants were used as hydrophobic monomers to copolymerize with acrylamide, forming a single-headed, double-tailed drag reducer with strong hydrophobicity and low surface energy. This drag reducer was then used in polymer fracturing fluids to enhance drag reduction, viscosity, and proppant carrying capacity.
It improves the drag reduction, viscosity enhancement, temperature and shear resistance, and anti-swelling properties of polymer fracturing fluid, reduces reservoir damage, simplifies the on-site fracturing fluid injection process, and improves fracturing efficiency.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field fracturing fluid, and particularly relates to fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant, its preparation method, friction reducer, its preparation method and polymer fracturing fluid. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a hydraulic fracturing treatment method, slickwater fracturing can use a large amount of water to fracture the formation at a high pumping rate and deliver proppant into the fracture. Slickwater fracturing has gained widespread attention and popularity in unconventional reservoirs due to its simplicity, less polymer use, less damage to the formation, low cost and a series of advantages. A key ingredient used in slickwater fracturing fluid is friction reducer, which helps to reduce the friction loss when the fracturing fluid flows at high speed through the pipeline. The reduction of friction resistance can significantly reduce the power required by the pump, thereby reducing the cost. The most widely used friction reducer in slickwater fracturing fluid is high molecular weight acrylamide-based copolymer. These polymers have good shear stability and thermal stability, as well as effective friction reduction performance. Most of the commercially available friction reducer products are acrylamide polymers, but as the base fluid salinity increases, its friction reduction performance and viscosity decrease. In addition, another big problem of slickwater fracturing fluid is that due to the low viscosity of the fluid, the proppant delivery capacity is limited, which may be attributed to the low addition amount of polymer in the fluid, resulting in an average of 200,000 to 600,000 cubic meters of water required for each unconventional well to complete the injection of an appropriate amount of proppant in the fracture. Fresh water has always been used as the base fluid for slickwater fracturing, but due to the limited fresh water resources, it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain slickwater fracturing.
[0003] In order to reduce fresh water consumption, increase the use of high-salt seawater or produced water as slick water fracturing base fluid, a large amount of research work has been done on the design and synthesis of salt-resistant friction reducer for slick water fracturing, which is committed to reducing friction under the condition of high salinity, and making the fluid thick, so as to suspend and transport more proppant. CN117417754A discloses a hydrolysis-resistant polymerizable surfactant and a preparation method thereof. A new monomer with surface activity and double bond is prepared by reacting allyl fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether acid chloride with dodecyl primary amine. The new monomer can significantly reduce the surface tension of aqueous solution, has strong hydrolysis resistance and strong spreading ability on low-energy hydrophobic surface, and is suitable for coating and oil field chemical field. CN114195927A provides a thickening agent, a composition for forming the same, an emulsion polymer, a fracturing fluid system and application thereof, to solve the problem that the existing fracturing fluid system cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of small formation damage, less residue, shear resistance and convenient preparation process. The composition of the thickening agent comprises: acrylamide, N,N dimethyl acrylamide, sodium acrylate, cationic polymerizable surfactant, viscoelastic surfactant, organic salt, inorganic salt, initiator and water; wherein the cationic polymerizable surfactant is a polymer formed by copolymerization of a fatty tertiary amine with C atom number of 12-22 and a halogenated olefin, and the molecular weight is 303-443. However, the above polymerizable surfactant and friction reducer cannot simultaneously have low surface tension, low damage and good thickening, salt resistance and friction reduction effect.
[0004] Therefore, how to form an efficient multifunctional friction reducer to improve the fracturing effect of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, thereby reducing reservoir damage, is still a current technical challenge. SUMMARY

Therefore, when the fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant is used as a polymerization monomer of a resistance reducing agent, the fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant has multiple properties such as hydrophobicity, oil repellency, temperature resistance, weather resistance, chemical inertness and low surface energy. In addition, the fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant has the functions of bactericide and clay stabilizer due to the presence of a quaternary ammonium salt structure. Compared with common hydrophobic monomers, the fluorosilane-containing hydrophobic monomer has stronger hydrophobicity, so that the synthesized resistance reducing agent polymer has stronger hydrophobic binding.
[0041] (2) The resistance reducing agent provided by the application uses the polymerizable fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant as a hydrophobic monomer of the resistance reducing agent, so that the synthesized resistance reducing agent has a gemini surfactant structure with a single head and double tails, and has strong micelle-forming capacity and a lower critical micelle concentration value than corresponding conventional surfactants, so that the efficiency of reducing the surface tension of a solution is higher. In addition, the resistance reducing agent can improve the strong water wettability of a rock surface, increase the contact angle of retained water, reduce capillary resistance and reservoir damage, improve the viscosity increasing and sand carrying capacity, reduce the surface interfacial tension between a gel breaking liquid and a reservoir rock, and promote liquid flowback.
[0042] (3) The polymer fracturing fluid provided by the application has a simple formula, and the polymer has the functions of resistance reduction, viscosity increase, temperature and shear resistance, anti-swelling, cleanup assistance and sterilization, so that the functions of one agent are realized, the on-site fracturing fluid injection process is greatly simplified, and the fracturing efficiency is improved.

[0052] Preparation Example:
[0053] As shown in Figure 1 , the preparation of the cationic polymerizable fluorosilane modified gemini surfactant 1 includes the following steps:

The flask was cooled to 0°C, then 16 mL of acryloyl chloride was added to a 30 mL addition funnel containing 30 mL of acetone, and the solution was added dropwise to the reaction flask for reaction. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was evaporated, and the aqueous solution was washed with 30 mL of a saturated NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 mixed aqueous solution for 3 times.

[0062]
[0063] The following investigation explores the effect of the dosage of powdered drag reducer (i.e., the concentration of polymer fracturing fluid) on the performance of polymer fracturing fluid. Using water as a 100% concentration, the viscosity, drag reduction rate, surface tension, linear expansion rate, and rheological properties of polymer fracturing fluid at different concentrations were tested. The results are as follows:
[0064] Figure 4 This shows the relationship between the concentration and viscosity of polymer fracturing fluid, from... Figure 4 It can be seen that with the addition of drag-reducing agent at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, and 0.6%, the viscosity of the polymer fracturing fluid varies between 19.5 and 84 mPa·s, indicating that adjusting the amount of drag-reducing agent can make the fracturing fluid more viscous.
[0065] Figure 5 The relationship between the concentration of polymer fracturing fluid and the drag reduction rate is shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that the drag reduction rate of the polymer fracturing fluid with a concentration of 0.1% is 72.3%, which shows a good drag reduction effect.
[0066] Figure 6 This shows the relationship between the concentration of polymer fracturing fluid and its surface tension, from... Figure 6 It can be seen that the surface tension of the polymer fracturing fluid with a concentration of 0.1%-0.6% is less than 28mN / m, and the requirement of low surface tension can be achieved without the addition of drainage aids.
[0067] Figure 7 The linear expansion rate of the polymer fracturing fluid rupture solution at a concentration of 0.4% is shown. Figure 7It can be seen that the linear expansion rate of the fracturing fluid breaker with a concentration of 0.4% to the tight sandstone is 1.90, and the linear expansion rate of water to the tight sandstone is 8.64, so the anti-swelling rate of the fracturing fluid breaker with a concentration of 0.4% is 78.01%, which has weak water sensitivity damage.
[0068] Figure 8 The rheological curve of the polymer fracturing fluid with a concentration of 0.4% is shown, and the test parameters are: shearing for 50 minutes at 120°C and 170s -1 Figure 8 It can be seen that the viscosity of the fracturing fluid with a concentration of 0.4% after shearing is still 30.36mPa·s, and the viscosity retention rate is 56.25%.

[0090] (a) Taking water as 100% by mass, 20% acrylamide is added to water in a glass reactor equipped with a stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer, and nitrogen inlet pipe, and the mixture is stirred at 600 r·min. -1 Stir at a constant speed for 5 minutes until completely dissolved.

The product was repeatedly washed with ethanol to obtain a white gel, which was cut, washed, and dried to obtain a powder of the friction reducer 6.
[0091] (b) 1-6 g of the powder of the friction reducer 6 was weighed into 1000 mL of water under stirring to prepare different polymer fracturing fluids 6 with a concentration of 0.1-0.6%.
[0092] The viscosity, temperature resistance and shear resistance, friction reduction rate, surface tension, anti-swelling rate, and core permeability damage rate of the polymer fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 at room temperature were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1. The test methods of the above properties are as follows:
[0093] Core permeability damage rate test method: a multifunctional core displacement device was used to displace the core with formation water to obtain the initial permeability, i.e., the permeability K1 of the core before damage; the core was displaced with the fracturing fluid to obtain the core permeability at damage; the core was displaced with formation water to obtain the damaged core permeability K2. The core permeability damage rate was calculated according to formula (1):
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, η d represents the core permeability damage rate, %; K1 and K2 represent the permeabilities of the core before and after damage, mD.
[0096] Friction reduction rate test method: a pipeline friction meter was used to test the friction of clean water P0 under the conditions of a pipe diameter of 8 mm and a linear velocity of 10 m / s, and then to test the friction of the fracturing fluid P1 under the same conditions. The friction reduction rate was calculated according to formula (2):
[0097]
[0098] Anti-swelling rate test method: a linear dilatometer was used to test the swelling height of the rock sample, and the anti-swelling rate of the fracturing fluid was calculated based on the linear swelling rate of clean water.
[0099] Viscosity retention rate calculation method: a rheometer was used to test the viscosities of the polymer fracturing fluids at 170 s -1 , 120°C and 1 h of shearing, and the percentage of the viscosity after shearing to the viscosity before shearing was the viscosity retention rate.
[0100] Table 1. Test results of 0.4% polymer fracturing fluid
[0101]
[0102] The experimental results recorded in Table 1 show that, taking a 0.4% polymer fracturing fluid as an example, the polymer fracturing fluids prepared in Examples 1-4, compared with polymer fracturing fluids without the addition of cationic polymerizable fluorosilane-modified gemini surfactant 1 as a polymerizable hydrophobic monomer (Comparative Examples 1-2), exhibit lower surface tension and core damage rate, as well as higher viscosity, viscosity retention, anti-swelling rate, and drag reduction rate. The cationic polymerizable fluorosilane-modified gemini surfactant 1, as a drag-reducing agent, enhances the viscosity-increasing, temperature and shear resistance, drag reduction, and anti-swelling properties of the polymer fracturing fluid, while reducing surface tension and core damage rate.
