Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas fields, and in particular to salt-resistant and anti-swelling slippery water and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the depletion of conventional oil and gas resources, low-pressure and low-permeability unconventional oil and gas resources have become the key areas and hot resources for exploration and development. At present, unconventional oil and gas production mainly adopts multi-stage and multi-cluster close-cut volume fracturing technology. This technology requires high-displacement pumping of low-friction fracturing fluid system to achieve large-scale fracture creation in the early stage, and the use of high-viscosity glue to carry a large amount of proppant to fill the cracks in the later stage to ensure that the cracks have long-term conductivity. Therefore, continuous mixing is achieved at the fracturing site, and the real-time viscosity of the slick water system is achieved. The direct transition from the slick water system to the sand-carrying glue system can ensure the smooth implementation of the close-cut volume fracturing technology, and can also solve the inconvenience caused by limited space at the construction site in mountainous areas. The fracturing fluid used for a single layer of this technology generally exceeds 2000m 3 , the construction displacement is usually greater than 10m 3 / min, the scale of construction has excessively consumed precious fresh water resources and significantly increased construction costs and prices.

[0003] In addition, the current slippery water system mainly suppresses clay expansion by adding anti-swelling agents and other additives, which has disadvantages such as difficult to ensure compatibility, complex liquid preparation, and high cost. In addition, powder drag reducers have poor solubility and are difficult to achieve online mixing. Common emulsion drag reducers generally contain oil phases, are expensive and cause great damage to the reservoir.

[0004] Therefore, in the current fracturing technology for unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, the main problems that need to be solved by the slick water system include: (1) rapid on-site fluid preparation and real-time viscosity change to ensure construction requirements; (2) direct preparation of high-mineralization formation water or return fluid to avoid large-scale use of fresh water resources. The use of high-mineralization formation water or return fluid to directly prepare fluid can not only save fresh water resources but also avoid the discharge of formation return fluid to pollute the natural environment; (3) the drag reducer has multiple effects in one dose, which can simplify the formulation, reduce costs and increase efficiency; (4) water-in-water emulsion fracturing fluid can be mixed online and does not contain oil phase to protect the reservoir. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims at the shortcomings of the current slippery water system and provides a salt-resistant and anti-swelling slippery water, which can realize the rapid on-site liquid preparation and real-time viscosity change of slippery water, and can use high-mineralization on-site water or return water for liquid preparation, saving fresh water resources, while having an anti-swelling effect, simplifying the formula, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and using a water-in-water emulsion that does not contain an oil phase, effectively solving the purpose of environmental protection.

[0025] Beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention provides a salt-resistant and anti-swelling slippery water. The slippery water system has a simple formula. A single drag reducing agent (aqueous dispersion of polyacrylamide) has both drag reducing and anti-swelling functions. It is completely dissolved in salt water or return flow liquid with a mineralization of 0 to 300,000 mg / L within 5 to 30 seconds. The drag reduction rate in the laboratory can reach more than 71%, and can reach more than 85% on site.

[0027] The present invention can also achieve real-time viscosity change of the slippery water system by changing the added amount of the drag reducing agent (polyacrylamide aqueous dispersion). A low-viscosity slippery water system with a viscosity of 1mPa·s to 10mPa·s is prepared by adding 0.1% to 1.0%; a medium-viscosity slippery water system with a viscosity of 10mPa·s to 25mPa·s is prepared by adding 1.0% to 2.0%; a high-viscosity slippery water system with a viscosity of 10mPa·s to 25mPa·s is prepared by adding more than 2.0%. The viscosity increases rapidly and can be used as a glue. The slippery water system has good heat and shear resistance at a temperature of 120°C. The laboratory uses salt water with a mineralization of 300,000 mg / L, and the viscosity of the slippery water is basically not reduced compared with that of the clean water. On-site use of high-mineralization backflow fluid and the drag reducing agent of the present invention for continuous mixing, the viscosity becomes real-time after the crack is made and sand is carried into the crack, and the sand addition compliance rate is as high as 97%;

[0028] The present invention solves the problems of rapid on-site liquid preparation and real-time viscosity change required for the slippery water system, and realizes the purpose of saving fresh water resources and protecting the environment by directly preparing the liquid using high-mineralization formation water or return fluid. Moreover, when the addition amount is ≥1.0%, the anti-swelling rate of the slippery water system is greater than or equal to 75%, which meets the on-site anti-swelling requirements and achieves the purpose of simplifying the formula, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0088] In Table 1, the appearance, solid content, and viscosity of stabilizers A1-A3 were tested with reference to GB / T 11175-2002;

[0089] The viscosity test instrument is Brookfield viscometer DV1, and the viscosity determination method is: direct testing at a temperature of 25°C.

[0090] Table 1 Comparison of basic parameters of the stabilizers prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 and the stabilizers described in Comparative Preparation Examples 1-2

[0091]

[0092] In Table 1, PEG content (taking Example 1 as an example): 30g / (60g+30g+60g+30g+160g+2900g)×100%=0.92%.

[0093] The results in Table 1 show that the stabilizers A1, A2 and A3 prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 have slightly lower viscosities than the cationic copolymer stabilizer A4 prepared in Comparative Preparation Example 1-2 due to the presence of nonionic polymer PEG. The viscosities of the stabilizers A1, A2 and A3 prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 decrease as the content of PEG20000 increases.

[0094] Test (II) Parameters of polyacrylamide aqueous dispersion

[0095] The basic parameters of the aqueous polyacrylamide dispersions prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 of the present invention and Comparative Preparation Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 2.

[0096] The polymer concentration is measured by diluting a polyacrylamide aqueous dispersion of weight C1 with water to a concentration of 1% of the polyacrylamide aqueous dispersion, placing it in a dialysis bag (molecular weight cutoff size: 1000 Da) and dialyzing it in water for three days, and then freeze-drying the sample to obtain a dry sample weight C2, and the polymer concentration is the percentage of the ratio of C2 to CI;

[0097] Among them, the apparent viscosity is the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion of polyacrylamide prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 and Comparative Preparation Examples 1-3 directly tested without dilution with water; the viscosity of the polymer solution with a mass concentration of 1% refers to the viscosity of the solution when the aqueous dispersion of polyacrylamide is diluted with water to a mass concentration of polyacrylamide and its copolymer of 1%;

[0098] The stability of the aqueous dispersions of polyacrylamide prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 of the present invention and Comparative Preparation Examples 1-3 at room temperature is visually observed. The dispersions are stable if they are not stratified, and unstable if they are stratified.

[0099] Among them, freeze-thaw stability: take 50mL of polyacrylamide dispersion and place it in a low-temperature box with a temperature of -5±2℃, take it out after 18 hours, and place it at a temperature of 23±2℃ for 6 hours. Repeat the operation to observe whether there is precipitation.

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] The results in Table 2 show that the polyacrylamide aqueous dispersions prepared in Preparation Examples 1-6 have suitable apparent viscosity and relatively high viscosity of 1% polymer solution, and the stability is more than 6 months, even up to 1 year; while the viscosity of 1% polymer solution of the polyacrylamide aqueous dispersion prepared in Comparative Example 1-3 is significantly lower, and the stability is less than 1 month; this shows that the present invention is an effective method for preparing highly stable and highly viscous polyacrylamide aqueous dispersions by using cationic copolymers and polyoxyethylene binary as stabilizers for dispersion polymerization.
