AI Technical Summary
The viscosity of existing polymer fracturing fluids decreases at high temperatures, affecting their sand-carrying performance and fracture-forming effects, and cannot meet the development needs of deep-well oil and gas fields. In addition, the existing powder-type thickeners dissolve slowly and cannot meet the requirements of continuous mixing.
A thickener for deep well fracturing composed of a specific proportion of water-soluble monomers, emulsion stabilizers, oxidants, reducing agents, dispersants and emulsifiers is prepared through oil-in-water emulsion polymerization. The emulsion stabilizer polyethylene glycol stearate and the functional monomer 2-acrylamido-2-phenylethanesulfonic acid are introduced to form a chemical and physical network structure, thereby improving high-temperature resistance.
It maintains good viscosity under high temperature conditions, meets the construction requirements of deep well fracturing, reduces costs and simplifies construction processes. The viscosity reaches 62.79mPa·s after shearing for 1 hour at 160℃ and 170s-1, which is 25.6% higher than the industry standard. No high-temperature cross-linking agent is required.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas extraction, and particularly relates to a thickener for deep well fracturing, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of exploration technology, deep well oil and gas resources are increasingly being discovered. As drilling continues to deepen and reservoir temperatures rise during exploration and development, higher requirements are being placed on existing polymer fracturing fluids. Polymer fracturing fluids experience a continuous decrease in viscosity at high temperatures, which in turn affects their sand-carrying and rheological properties. Poor sand-carrying capacity can easily lead to sand plugging and poor fracture creation, compromising fracturing effectiveness and reducing reservoir production. For some oil and gas resources with higher reservoir temperatures, existing polyacrylamide emulsion thickeners cannot meet the temperature resistance requirements. Powder-based thickeners, however, dissolve slowly and cannot meet the requirements for continuous mixing.
[0003] Therefore, researching a thickener for deep well fracturing is of great significance to the development of deep well oil and gas fields. Summary of the Invention

Generally, emulsifiers with an HLB value less than 5 include Span85, Span80, and Span60; emulsifiers with an HLB value greater than 5 include Tween80 and OP-10.

[0021] S4: adding a reducing agent to the water-in-oil emulsion obtained in step S3 to initiate a polymerization reaction, and adding a phase inversion agent after the polymerization reaction to obtain the thickener for deep well fracturing.
[0022] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the pH value of the aqueous phase mixture is 6-8, and the pH value is preferably adjusted to 6-8 with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution;

The thickener for deep well fracturing of the present invention does not require the addition of any high-temperature cross-linking agent, which not only reduces the use cost but also simplifies the construction process and can meet the large-scale continuous fracturing construction requirements of deep wells and other reservoirs with high well temperatures.

[0105] Table 1 Test results of gel breaking performance of thickener for deep well fracturing
[0106]
[0107] Among the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 5, embodiment 4 is the best implementation case.
[0108] Test Example 2
[0109] Solubility test
[0110] The thickener for deep well fracturing prepared in Example 4 was prepared into a 1 wt% aqueous solution, and the apparent viscosity of the solution was measured every 10 seconds using a six-speed viscometer to obtain a time-viscosity curve of its dissolution.
[0111] The thickener has a fast dissolution speed and good thickening performance. When the dissolution time is 30s, its apparent viscosity can reach 150mPa·s and the viscosity release rate can reach 95%. Figure 1 As shown, it can meet the continuous mixing requirements of the construction site.
[0112] Test Example 3
[0113] Heat and shear resistance test
[0114] The 1 wt% aqueous solution of the thickener for deep well fracturing prepared in Example 4 was subjected to shear resistance tests using a HAAKE MARS rheometer under different high temperature conditions. The shear rate was 170 s-1 and the shearing time was 1 hour to study the temperature and shear resistance of the thickener for deep well fracturing.
[0115] The fracturing fluid was heated at 120℃ for 170s -1 After 1 hour of shearing, the final viscosity is 85.83mPa·s, 160℃, 170s -1 After 1 hour of shearing, the final viscosity is 62.79 mPa·s. Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, they can meet the industry's requirement of no less than 50mPa·s.
[0116] The same method was used to test the heat and shear resistance of comparative sample 1 and comparative sample 2 at 120℃. -1 ,After 1 hour of shearing, the final viscosity is 41mPa·s, which is lower than the industry index, such as Figure 3 As shown. Comparative sample 2 at 120℃, 170s -1 ,After 1 hour of shearing, the final viscosity is 32mPa·s, which is lower than the industry index, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0117] In summary, the thickener for deep well fracturing of the present invention introduces the emulsion stabilizer polyethylene glycol stearate to improve the stability of the emulsion, and adopts the functional monomer 2-acrylamido-2-phenylethanesulfonic acid, and the two cooperate to produce a synergistic effect. This is because the addition of polyethylene glycol stearate introduces a physical network structure into the chemically cross-linked network structure of the reaction system, thereby improving the high temperature resistance of the polymer emulsion as a thickener. At 150°C, after shearing for 1 hour at 170s-1, the final viscosity can reach 62.79mPa·s, which is 25.6% higher than the industry standard requirement of not less than 50mPa·s, and no high-temperature cross-linking agent needs to be added, which not only reduces the cost of use, but also simplifies the construction process and can meet the large-scale continuous fracturing construction requirements of reservoirs with higher well temperatures such as deep wells.
[0118] Any numerical value mentioned in the present invention includes all values that increase by one unit each time from the lowest value to the highest value if there is only a gap of two units between any minimum value and any maximum value. For example, if the amount of a component, or the value of a process variable such as temperature, pressure, time, etc. is stated to be 50-90, it is meant in this specification to specifically list values such as 51-89, 52-88... and 69-71 and 70-71.
