Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas reservoir development technology, specifically to a copolymer and its preparation method, polylactic acid fiber and its preparation method, copolymer fiber composition and fracturing fluid and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid increase in global demand for oil and natural gas, the focus is shifting from conventional reservoirs to the exploration and development of deep-well, high-temperature reservoirs. However, due to increasingly complex reservoir geological conditions, reservoir stimulation is becoming more challenging. Fracturing is a crucial technical measure for enhancing reservoir production, and fracturing fluid is an essential component of the fracturing process. Selecting a suitable, high-performance fracturing fluid is a key technical point for achieving successful reservoir fracturing stimulation.

[0003] Currently, fracturing fluids commonly used both domestically and internationally are divided into two categories: natural plant-based guar gum fracturing fluids and synthetic polymer fracturing fluid systems. Guar gum fracturing fluids have high viscosity and excellent proppant carrying capacity, but they also have high pipeline friction, high residue content, and significant reservoir damage. Furthermore, increasing the amount of guar gum to improve the temperature resistance of the fracturing fluid leads to a substantial increase in material costs. Slickwater systems in polymer fracturing fluids can create large-scale, complex fracture networks and connect natural formation fractures, making them the main fracturing fluid for volumetric fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. However, conventional slickwater systems are not heat-resistant, have poor proppant carrying capacity, and cannot effectively carry proppant to fractures to form effective fracture channels. CN108841370A uses a reverse microemulsion method to prepare a polymer thickener and introduces high-strength polyvinyl acetal fibers to increase the proppant carrying capacity of the fracturing fluid. It can be used for fracturing and stimulation of reservoirs at medium and low temperatures (below 70 degrees Celsius). However, it still suffers from poor temperature resistance of slickwater fracturing fluid. Furthermore, it requires the use of designated equipment at the construction site to dissolve and disperse the fibers. Poor fiber dispersion performance severely reduces the efficiency of fiber fracturing fluid. Summary of the Invention

This invention provides a copolymer and its preparation method, polylactic acid fibers and their preparation method, copolymer fiber compositions, fracturing fluids, and their applications. This copolymer possesses salt- and high-temperature resistant functional groups and a rigid structure. Fracturing fluid systems containing this copolymer, in addition to being salt- and high-temperature resistant, also exhibit excellent properties such as easy proppant carrying capacity, high proppant carrying capacity, low friction, easy flowback, and low damage. Furthermore, the flowback fluid of this fracturing fluid is recyclable, conforming to the green and sustainable development strategy, and has low production costs.
