Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an integrated fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of oilfield chemistry. Background Art
[0002] Unconventional gas reservoirs, such as shale oil and gas and tight oil and gas, have become key areas of focus and hotspots in oil and gas exploration and development. Currently, volumetric fracturing is the primary method used to reconstruct these unconventional reservoirs. The required fracturing fluids are primarily slickwater and gels (linear gels, frozen gels, or weak gels). In practice, variable-viscosity slickwater fracturing fluids with adjustable viscosity are more commonly used. Low viscosity fracturing fluids function as standard slickwater fracturing fluids, medium viscosity fracturing fluids function as linear gel fracturing fluids, and high viscosity fracturing fluids function as weak gels or frozen gels. Low-viscosity fracturing fluids offer low friction but poor sand suspension performance, while high-viscosity fracturing fluids offer good sand suspension performance but high friction. Furthermore, excessively high viscosity results in simpler fractures, making it difficult to form a complex fracture network, thus compromising the ultimate fracturing effect. Therefore, developing high-performance integrated fracturing fluids is a key research priority for volumetric fracturing fluids.
[0003] CN110003877A discloses a method for resisting high-mineralization clean viscous and slippery water. The cross-linking agent is an organic boron / zirconium composite cross-linking agent, which is cross-linked with a viscosity-changing and drag-reducing agent to increase viscosity.
[0004] CN111763511A discloses a method for preparing an integrated self-crosslinking thickener-modified polymer for fracturing and its formulation, which can be used to prepare both slickwater and suspended sand fracturing fluids. The thickener is a high-molecular-weight polymer emulsion obtained through inverse emulsion polymerization. The thickener is added at a dosage of 0.06-0.12% in slickwater and 1-2% in suspended sand fracturing fluids. The method utilizes changes in polymer concentration to achieve viscosity variations in slickwater fracturing fluids.
[0005] CN113025302A discloses an integrated self-crosslinking fracturing fluid, which utilizes a self-crosslinking emulsion-type fracturing fluid thickener. By preparing aqueous solutions of different mass fractions as fracturing fluids, i.e., 0.05-0.4% thickener solution is used as a slick water fracturing fluid, and 0.4-2.0wt% thickener solution is used as a suspended sand fracturing fluid. Switching between slick water and suspended sand fluids can be achieved by adjusting the added amount.
[0006] CN112375557A discloses an alcohol-soluble slick water for fracturing, which is composed of 20.0-60.0% of polyacrylamide polymer, 0.5-4.0% of nanoparticles, 0.1-3% of surfactant and organic alcohol.
[0007] CN112126419A discloses a continuously prepared sand suspension solution comprising 1 to 10 parts of a viscosity-changing agent, 1 to 5 parts of a cross-linking agent, 900 to 1000 parts of water, and 20 to 60 parts of a proppant.
[0008] CN111635749A discloses a slickwater system that combines drag reduction and sand suspension. The system is composed of 0.02-0.3 wt% of a fast-dissolving associative polymer drag reducer, 0.01-0.1 wt% of a nonionic surfactant and / or anionic surfactant, 0.1-2 wt% of a clay stabilizer, and water. The viscosity is adjustable within the range of 20 mPa.s.
[0009] CN111647106A discloses a viscoelastic polymer emulsion type slippery water and suspended sand liquid, and adopts inverse emulsion polymerization to prepare nano-scale viscoelastic polymer emulsion, overcoming the disadvantage of low copolymerization rate of existing associative monomers in the inverse emulsion polymerization process.
[0010] Under the same fracturing displacement conditions, the existing technology to improve the suspended sand performance mainly relies on fracturing fluid viscosity increase: relying on increasing the concentration of polymer drag reducers or thickeners to increase viscosity, or relying on cross-linking with cross-linkers at a certain polymer concentration to increase viscosity, or relying on intramolecular and intermolecular association after the concentration of hydrophobic associating polymer drag reducers or thickeners reaches a certain level to increase viscosity.
[0011] However, these existing technologies have at least the following problems: improving the sand-suspending performance requires significantly increasing the concentration of the drag reducer or thickener and the corresponding cross-linking agent concentration, which results in high fracturing fluid costs; under the same conditions, the higher the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, the greater the frictional resistance, resulting in high frictional resistance in the existing technology under high-viscosity conditions, increasing the construction pump pressure; in order to improve the sand-suspending performance, the viscosity of the fracturing fluid is significantly increased, but the excessively high viscosity of the fracturing fluid will result in relatively simple cracks produced by fracturing, and the complexity of the fracture network formed by fracturing is low, which affects the volume fracturing effect. Summary of the Invention
[0012] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention aims to provide an integrated fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof. The integrated fracturing fluid provided by the present invention has the advantages of low friction, adjustable viscosity, and high sand suspension performance under the same viscosity conditions.
[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides an integrated fracturing fluid, which includes the following components, in mass percentage: 0.02%-0.5% of a drag reducing and tackifying agent, 0.1%-0.5% of a nanoemulsion, 0.02%-0.1% of a first non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant, 0.003%-0.05% of a fungicide, 0-0.5% of a viscosity regulator, 0-0.5% of a clay stabilizer, 0-0.1% of a gel breaker, 0.05%-0.2% of a modifier, 0.1%-1% of a gas generating agent, and the balance being water.

More preferably, when the integrated fracturing fluid is a medium-viscosity fracturing fluid, it includes the following components, calculated by mass percentage: 0.2%-0.4% of a drag reducing and tackifying agent, 0.1%-0.4% of a nanoemulsion, 0.02%-0.08% of a first non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant, 0.005%-0.02% of a fungicide, 0.1%-0.3% of a clay stabilizer, 0.02%-0.08% of a gel breaker, 0.08%-0.15% of a modifier, 0.2%-0.4% of a gas generating agent, and the balance is water.
[0019] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, when the integrated fracturing fluid is a high-viscosity fracturing fluid (apparent viscosity of 50-200 mPa·s), it includes the following components, by mass percentage: 0.3%-0.5% of a drag reducing and tackifying agent, 0.1%-0.5% of a nanoemulsion, 0.02%-0.1% of a first non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant, 0.003%-0.05% of a bactericide, 0.1-0.5% of a viscosity regulator, 0-0.5% of a clay stabilizer, 0.06-0.1% of a gel breaker, 0.05%-0.2% of a modifier, 0.1%-0.5% of a gas generating agent, and the balance is water. More preferably, when the integrated fracturing fluid is a high-viscosity fracturing fluid, it includes the following components, calculated by mass percentage: 0.3%-0.5% of a drag reducing and tackifying agent, 0.1%-0.4% of a nanoemulsion, 0.02%-0.08% of a first non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant, 0.005%-0.02% of a bactericide, 0.25%-0.45% of a viscosity regulator, 0.1%-0.3% of a clay stabilizer, 0.06-0.1% of a gel breaker, 0.08%-0.15% of a modifier, 0.2%-0.4% of a gas generating agent, and the balance is water.
[0020] In the above-mentioned integrated fracturing fluid, preferably, the drag reducing and viscosity increasing agent is a mixture of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives and non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives. More preferably, the mass ratio of the hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives to the non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives is (10-15):1.
[0021] In the above-mentioned integrated fracturing fluid, preferably, in the drag reducing and tackifying agent, the viscosity average molecular weight of the hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives is 5 million to 15 million, and the degree of hydrolysis is 20% to 30%; the viscosity average molecular weight of the non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives is 5 million to 15 million.
[0022] The drag-reducing and viscosity-increasing agent used in the fracturing fluid of the present invention is a mixture of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives and non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives, with a mass ratio of (10-15):1 and a viscosity-average molecular weight of 5 million to 15 million. The hydrolyzed polyacrylamide contains a large number of carboxyl groups, which, at a certain concentration, undergo cross-linking with the central ions of the cross-linking agent (i.e., the viscosity modifier of the present invention), thereby forming a network structure, significantly increasing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid and improving the sand-suspending performance by virtue of the high viscosity. The non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, on the other hand, is used at a lower concentration than the hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and, at a certain concentration, does not undergo cross-linking with the central ions of the cross-linking agent (i.e., the viscosity modifier of the present invention), remaining in a non-cross-linked linear polymer state and expanding in the fracturing fluid, thereby ensuring that the fracturing fluid still has high drag-reducing properties under high viscosity conditions. Therefore, the present invention overcomes the contradiction between low friction and high sand-suspending properties of the fracturing fluid by combining hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives with non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and / or its derivatives in a specific ratio.

The acid-base reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, which is adsorbed around the surface of the sand with the modifier adsorbed on the surface, thereby suspending the sand in the fracturing fluid.

[0054] S4. Add 0.1%-1% of a gas generating agent and 0-0.1% of a breaker to the second mixed liquid, and stir evenly to obtain the integrated fracturing fluid (when the fracturing fluid of the present invention does not contain a viscosity modifier, the gas generating agent and the optional breaker are added to the first mixed liquid);
[0055] When preparing on-site:
[0056] The preparation steps of S1-S3 are the same as those for indoor preparation. The preparation steps of S4 are as follows: 0.1%-1% of gas generating agent and 0-0.1% of gel breaker are added to the mixing tank of the sand mixing truck, and mixed evenly with the second mixed liquid and sand in the mixing tank of the sand mixing truck.
[0057] In the preparation method of the present invention, when the integrated fracturing fluid of the present invention is a low-viscosity fracturing fluid, a medium-viscosity fracturing fluid, and a high-viscosity fracturing fluid, respectively, the amount of each component has been described above and will not be repeated here. Those skilled in the art should understand that the fracturing fluid is configured according to the amount of each component in the fracturing fluid of different viscosities described above and the above-mentioned preparation method.
[0058] The integrated fracturing fluid provided by the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0059] Under the same viscosity, the fracturing fluid provided by the present invention has higher sand suspension performance than conventional fracturing fluids, especially low-viscosity slick water fracturing fluids and medium-viscosity linear gel fracturing fluids. The fracturing fluid provided by the present invention has lower friction than conventional fracturing fluids, and the drag reduction rate is increased by 2.1-11.2 percentage points, and the higher the viscosity, the greater the increase in the drag reduction rate. At the same time, the fracturing fluid provided by the present invention has better sand suspension performance than conventional fracturing fluids of the same viscosity, especially in the high-viscosity gel fracturing fluid provided, the suspended sand did not settle within 10 minutes (in conventional gel fracturing fluids of the same viscosity, the suspended sand settled by 10% within 10 minutes).

[0141]
[0142]
[0143] As can be seen from Tables 5 and 6 above, compared with Example 3, in Comparative Example 3-1, after all the drag-reducing and viscosity-increasing agents in the fracturing fluid formula were replaced with hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (without non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide), the drag reduction rate decreased from 71.2% to 61.1%. This indicates that the non-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide in Example 3 does not participate in cross-linking and can maintain a linear polymer state, thereby ensuring a high drag reduction rate, while the hydrolyzed polyacrylamide participates in cross-linking to form a spatial network structure, which reduces the drag reduction rate; other properties do not change significantly.
[0144] Compared with Example 3, in Comparative Example 3-2, after the concentration of the drag reducing and thickening agent in the fracturing fluid formula was increased to 0.7%, the drag reduction rate decreased from 71.2% to 35.1%, and the whole frozen gel could not be restored after being gelled and then crushed, indicating that too high a concentration of the drag reducing and thickening agent will lead to over-crosslinking, brittle colloid, increased friction resistance of the fracturing fluid, and reduced drag reduction rate.
[0145] Compared with Example 3, the drag reduction rates of conventional jelly fracturing fluids E and F were reduced by 11.2 percentage points and 6.2 percentage points, respectively, while the sand suspension performance changed from "no obvious sedimentation within 10 minutes" in Example 3 to "10% sedimentation of ceramsite in 10 minutes", indicating that Example 3 significantly improved the drag reduction and sand suspension performance of the high-viscosity jelly fracturing fluid.
