Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste resource utilization in oil and gas field development, and specifically to a method for preparing a highly inhibitory drilling fluid using fracturing flowback fluid. Background Art

[0002] Fracturing flowback fluid is a liquid containing a solid phase that is discharged after the fracturing operation in oil and gas fields. Its main components include guar gum, preservatives, degumming agents, petroleum and various other chemical additives. This type of liquid has the characteristics of "three highs" (high COD value, high stability, and high viscosity). If it is discharged directly without treatment, it will cause serious harm to the environment. In the development of oil and gas fields, fracturing has become the dominant technology for the development of low-permeability oil and gas fields, and the treatment of fracturing flowback fluid generated after the fracturing operation has always been an important problem faced by the oil and gas industry. Fracturing flowback fluid is difficult to treat and has high treatment costs. It contains a large amount of harmful suspended solids, difficult-to-degrade organic matter, petroleum and other pollutants. It has the characteristics of high viscosity, turbidity, and organic pollutants (with COD as the detection indicator) and strong stability.

[0003] If the fracturing flowback fluid is converted into drilling fluid that can be used for drilling operations through a specific formula and process, not only can the fracturing flowback fluid be efficiently treated and resourced, but also the strong inhibitory property of clay protective gelling agents (such as KCl, ammonium salts, etc.) in the flowback fluid can be used to prepare a highly inhibitory water-based drilling fluid. A highly inhibitory drilling fluid is a drilling fluid with water as a continuous phase. It has good inhibitory properties and stability, and can effectively prevent well wall collapse and formation contamination. By converting fracturing flowback fluid into a highly inhibitory drilling fluid, not only can the treatment problem of fracturing flowback fluid be solved, but also the drilling cost can be reduced and the drilling efficiency can be improved. This technology has broad application prospects and important environmental significance.

[0004] When preparing drilling fluid with clean water and bentonite, the bentonite particles hydrate, swell and disperse into smaller clay flakes, and the particle size is reduced from hundreds of microns to several microns. The dispersed clay flakes form a stable basic drilling fluid with a network structure in the water. However, since a large amount of KCl and other substances are added as clay protective agents during the preparation of fracturing fluid, the concentration of KCl in the flowback fluid is as high as more than 5%. Due to the strong inhibition of KCl, when the flowback fluid is directly prepared with bentonite to prepare the basic drilling fluid, the bentonite particles cannot swell and disperse into smaller particles, and cannot form a stable base slurry with a network structure in the water, that is, it is impossible to directly prepare water-based drilling fluid. In addition, if high-concentration brine is directly added to the basic drilling fluid prepared with clean water, the strong electrolyte will compress the diffuse double layer of the clay flakes, causing the network structure to collapse and produce flocculation, and the required water-based drilling fluid cannot be prepared. Summary of the invention

[0005] To this end, it is necessary to provide a new method for preparing a strong consistency drilling fluid using fracturing return fluid, which can utilize waste resources, save expenses, and improve the effective utilization rate of the product.
