Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oilfield chemistry, in particular to a supramolecular material diverting agent for hydraulic fracturing, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] China has a large amount of unconventional oil and gas resources, and unconventional resources such as tight gas, shale oil and shale gas play an increasingly important role in oil and gas production. However, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs often have the characteristics of low porosity, low permeability and strong heterogeneity, which increases the difficulty of exploitation. Hydraulic fracturing is an important technology to improve the efficiency of unconventional oil and gas resource exploitation. By injecting fracturing fluid through a high-pressure pump on the ground, the rock layer is broken to produce cracks and expand to the oil and gas reservoir, thereby being exploited. Affected by the heterogeneity of the reservoir and the closure stress of the formation, the hydraulic fracture often expands unevenly, not only causing resource waste, but also seriously affecting oil and gas production. Therefore, during the implementation of hydraulic fracturing, how to achieve uniform expansion of the reservoir fracture is crucial for the increase of oil and gas production.

[0003] By injecting fracturing fluid containing diverting agent through a surface pump, the diverting agent "effectively" blocks the initial fracture or perforation in the formation, forming an out-of-joint blockage, causing the wellbore pressure or net pressure in the fracture to continue to rise, and causing the subsequent fracturing fluid to be diverted to a location other than the initial fracture. In addition, the diverting agent also has the effect of in-joint blockage of the main fracture, opening new branch fractures or activating natural fractures, and even multiple diversion, greatly improving the uniform expansion of the fracture. In order to improve the flowability of oil and gas to achieve the effect of increasing production, the diverting agent must complete deblocking within a specified time and efficiently flow back. This time-dependent diverting agent is also called temporary plugging agent. In addition, as oil and gas exploitation construction continues to advance, the heterogeneity of the reservoir causes the oil and gas production in some fracturing areas to decrease, and in order to improve the oil and gas recovery, secondary or multiple fracturing is needed. Therefore, it is necessary to implement long-term plugging in fracturing areas with low oil and gas production. With the implementation of the policy of green development of oilfields, it is urgent to develop a diverting agent with low toxicity, low cost and both temporary plugging and long-term plugging performance.

[0004] Supermolecular materials are considered to be good temporary plugging agents, which not only have low toxicity, but also have the characteristics of thermal activation self-crosslinking, injection into the formation, without adding other materials (crosslinking agent, breaker, etc.), with the increase of temperature, the material will gradually form a gel, these gels have the characteristics of high viscosity and high compressive strength, which can easily plug the cracks. If the temperature is further increased, the gel will break and restore to a liquid state, which is easy to flow back and restore the production capacity of the cracks, and theoretically can achieve 100% removal. However, the supermolecular materials currently used for diverting agents, such as polylactic acid and butylene glycol vinyl alcohol copolymer, have a strong temperature dependence on plugging performance. Studies have shown that polylactic acid needs 10 days to achieve 74% degradation at 80℃, while at 120℃, it only takes 10 hours to complete 100% degradation. In addition, in the low temperature zone, the applicable temperature of butylene glycol vinyl alcohol copolymer can be as low as 26℃, but in the medium and high temperature zone, the temporary plugging performance is greatly discounted. These temporary plugging agents not only have different applicable temperature ranges, but also cannot be deblocked on demand, increasing their use cost and limiting their development.

[0005] Chinese patent (CN118496837A) grafts carboxymethyl chitosan onto allyl glycidyl ether, and then obtains a network structure polymer through copolymerization and crosslinking. Then, the modified polymer microspheres are prepared by blending polylactic acid. Although this modified polymer microspheres can achieve deblocking on demand, the process is relatively complex, and the applicable temperature range is relatively narrow (80-100℃), which is not conducive to popularization and use. Chinese patent (CN118146775A) discloses a double-crosslinked thermal phase change gel temporary plugging agent, which is applied to oil and gas reservoirs with a temperature of 100-150℃, can automatically gel and degrade, and has a low filtration loss before gelling. However, this temporary plugging agent has complex components and high cost, and cannot be applied to medium and low temperature oil and gas reservoirs. US patent (US11053427B2) provides a low-density, high-strength, degradable temporary plugging agent, which is applicable at a temperature of 30-90℃, but cannot deblock on demand. Therefore, developing a supermolecular material diverting agent with a wide temperature range, controllable plugging time and deblocking time is helpful to promote the green development of oilfields, and has a broad market prospect. SUMMARY

[0012] Step four, drying and grinding are carried out to product C, sieving is carried out, finally, the supermolecular material diverting agent with different particle sizes is obtained.

[0017] Preferably, the reagent used for washing of step three is one or more of water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide and N-methyl pyrrolidone.

[0018] The application also provides a supermolecular material diverting agent for hydraulic fracturing, the particle size range is 200 nm-2 cm.

[0019] The application also provides application of the supramolecular material diverting agent for hydraulic fracturing in the hydraulic fracturing technology of oil and gas fields.

[0020] Preferably, the degradation time of the diverting agent is accelerated by adjusting the pH value of the fracturing fluid to 3-6.

[0021] Preferably, the pH value of the fracturing fluid is adjusted by adding one or more of boric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial effects that:

[0023] (1) The supramolecular material diverting agent prepared by the application changes the intrinsic material surface chemical properties by adding an initiator to change the raw material from an oligomer to a new copolymer, has better temperature resistance, and the thermal stability thereof can be further adjusted by adjusting the polymerization degree of the product. It is found through tests that the supramolecular material prepared by the application is suitable for a reservoir temperature of 30-150℃, and has a wide use temperature range; and has the characteristics of self-crosslinking and self-degradation through environmental thermal activation.

[0024] (2) The plugging time of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared by the application is controllable, and the degradation process can be accelerated by adjusting the pH value of the fracturing fluid. Under acidic conditions, the surface hydroxyl groups of the diverting agent are passivated to easily form a crosslinked structure to form a plug. As the service time is prolonged, the molecular chain is broken, the degree of hydrolysis is deepened, and the mechanical properties are decreased, so the plugging ability is lost and the liquid state is gradually restored. Therefore, the degradation speed can be accelerated to achieve the purpose of controllable plugging time.

[0025] (3) The supramolecular material diverting agent prepared by the application has the performance of temporary plugging and long-term plugging. In addition to on-demand deblocking, as the fracturing operation is continuously carried out, many low-yield “waste” fractures are generated due to the heterogeneity of the reservoir after multiple fracturing. In order to not affect the oil and gas field recovery rate, long-term or even permanent plugging is required. The diverting agent has good temperature resistance, so it has the ability of long-term plugging and has a wide range of applications.

[0026] (4) The particle size of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared by the application is controllable, and can be customized and used in combination according to the size of the microfracture, so as to realize the effect of external and external double plugging. Large particle materials are used to plug the main fracture to form external plugging; small particle materials are used for internal plugging of the main fracture of the branch fracture, multiple diversion plugging is carried out, and the uniform expansion of the fracture is improved.

[0027] (5) The chemical reagents used in the application have the characteristics of low toxicity and green environmental protection; and the method has low requirements for equipment, high yield and simple process flow. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0122] 1. Static swelling test

[0123] 1g of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared in example 1 is weighed and put into 400mL of distilled water to test its static swelling rate at 30℃, and the test results are shown in Figure 1 As the test time is prolonged, the remaining rate shows a gradually decreasing trend, and tends to 0 at about 35h, indicating that the diverting agent completes self-degradation at 35h; the swelling rate shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, which embodies the self-crosslinking characteristics of the diverting agent under thermal activation.

[0124] 1g of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared in example 1 is weighed and put into 400mL of distilled water to test its static swelling rate at 50℃, and the test results are shown in Figure 2 Compared with 30℃, at 50℃, the self-crosslinking swelling and degradation process of the diverting agent is accelerated, and the self-degradation is completed at 24h.

[0125] 1g of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared in example 1 is weighed and put into 400mL of distilled water to test its static swelling rate at 55℃, and the test results are shown in Figure 3 As the temperature is further increased, the diverting agent completes self-degradation at 7h.

[0126] 1g of the supramolecular material diverting agent prepared in example 1 and 0.1g of boric acid are weighed and put into 400mL of distilled water to test its static swelling rate at 50℃, and the test results are shown in Figure 4 As boric acid is added, the swelling and degradation rate of the diverting agent is accelerated, and the self-degradation is completed at 15h, which is 9h faster than that without boric acid.

Figure (b) and Figure (c) show the front view and top view of the diverting agent particles taken out after 240 h, respectively, as shown in Figure 20 It can be seen that the diverting agent particles self-crosslink closely together to form a columnar shape, which intuitively shows its plugging characteristics.
