Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fracturing fluid thickening agent system, and relates to a synthetic polymer fracturing fluid thickening agent and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fracturing technology is one of the main stimulation measures for oil and gas fields, and its purpose is to press the reservoir out of the cracks to increase production, and the performance of the fracturing fluid is directly related to the construction efficiency. With the continuous development of oil exploration technology, the development of oil and gas fields is continuously extended vertically, and the geological conditions of underground reservoirs are various, including porosity, permeability, rock type and other factors. Some formations may need to inject slick water in fracturing operations to reduce frictional resistance, while some formations may need to use sand-carrying fluid in fracturing operations to increase fracture stability. The existing fracturing fluid is usually composed of thickening agent, crosslinking agent, anti-swelling agent, bactericide and other additives, among which the thickening agent is the main additive of the fracturing fluid system, and the thickening agent can be divided into solid powder type and emulsion type. The solid powder type has problems such as the need for pre-liquid preparation construction, low construction efficiency, single function, and inability to meet the needs of different reservoir reconstruction environments at the same time. Chinese patent CN115703724A discloses a sulfonic acid compound and a fast-dissolving temperature-resistant and salt-resistant polyacrylamide for oil displacement and its preparation method and application, which improves the solubility of the polymer by introducing a sulfonic acid group and increases the molecular chain structure rigidity by introducing a benzene ring group, but the actual polyacrylamide dissolution time is still not ideal, which is more than 40 min at 20,000 mineralization degree and 80℃, and it is difficult to meet the needs of field application. Chinese patent CN109134752A discloses a fast-dissolving polyacrylamide for offshore oil displacement and its synthesis method, which is synthesized by using acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as monomers, and the fast-dissolving effect is not ideal, which is slow at 32,000 mineralization degree and 85℃, and cannot meet the needs of field application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a fracturing fluid thickening agent with good fast-dissolving effect, which can be flexibly adjusted in concentration under different geological conditions to meet the needs of offshore oil and gas fracturing operations and shale oil and gas fracturing operations. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to improve the fast-dissolving effect of the fracturing fluid thickening agent solution, save time and cost, and improve the operation efficiency, and make it have good viscoelasticity, salt resistance and temperature resistance, and gel breaking property, a new type of cationic monomer is first synthesized, and then a fast-dissolving ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickening agent is prepared by copolymerization of non-ionic monomer, cationic monomer and anionic monomer, so that it has excellent drag reduction performance at low concentration and can be used as slick water, and has excellent thickening performance at high concentration and can be used as sand-carrying fluid.

[0050] Thickening agent solubility and apparent viscosity test
[0051] At a constant stirring speed of 300 revolutions per minute and a temperature of 25°C, 0.2wt% instant ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickening agent, polyacrylamide solid thickening agent and polyacrylamide emulsion type thickening agent solutions are prepared in the same size beaker, and the time when the viscosity no longer increases is determined as the solubility time of the thickening agent, as shown in Table 1.
[0052] Table 1 Comparison of solubility times of three thickening agents (25°C, 0.2wt%)
[0053]
[0054] As shown in Table 1, all three examples of the fast-dissolving ternary copolymer emulsion fracturing fluid thickener dissolved completely within 5 minutes, while the dissolution times for polyacrylamide solid thickener and polyacrylamide emulsion thickener were 56 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. This demonstrates that using the thickener of this invention can significantly save construction time and improve work efficiency. The apparent viscosity of the three examples of the fast-dissolving ternary copolymer emulsion fracturing fluid thickener after dissolution was greater than that of the polyacrylamide solid thickener and polyacrylamide emulsion thickener, indicating stronger thickening ability. This is mainly because the (N,N-dimethyl-N-ethyl-N'-allyl-N'-methyl-N'-ethyl)-ethyldibromide monomer unit on the polymer chain segment has two quaternary ammonium salt groups, making the polymer molecules more extended and increasing the hydrodynamic volume of the polymer molecules in water, resulting in a larger mean square end-to-end distance of the formed random coils.
[0055] The apparent viscosities of 0.1wt%, 0.2wt%, and 0.3wt% fast-dissolving terpolymer emulsion thickener solutions were tested using a Brookfield viscometer at 25℃, with a No. 64 rotor and a rotation speed of 100 rpm. The test results are shown in the table.
[0056] Table 2 Apparent viscosity of fast-dissolving terpolymer emulsion fracturing fluid thickener solution
[0057] As shown in Table 2, the apparent viscosity increases with the increase of the concentration of the fast-dissolving terpolymer emulsion fracturing fluid thickener solution. Among them, the apparent viscosity of Example 3 is the highest at the same concentration. Therefore, the other properties of the thickener were tested using Example 3.
[0058] Thickener temperature and shear resistance test
[0059] The temperature and shear resistance of the product obtained in Example 3 were tested using a MARS rotational rheometer, and a 0.2 wt% terpolymer emulsion-type fracturing fluid thickener solution was prepared. Test conditions: initial temperature 30℃, heating rate 0.33℃ / min, shear rate 170s. -1 Heat to 120℃, shear for 2 hours, and the test results are as follows. Figure 1 As shown. By Figure 1 It can be seen that the viscosity of the solution after shearing is 127 mPa·s. According to SY / T 6376-2008 "General Technical Conditions for Fracturing Fluids", the viscosity after shearing is greater than 50 mPa·s. The fast-dissolving terpolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickener meets the construction requirements of high-temperature reservoirs.
[0060] Thickener salt resistance test
[0061] The apparent viscosity of the 0.2wt% instant ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickener solution was tested at different CaCl2 concentrations and different NaCl concentrations. The experimental conditions were at room temperature using a twelve-speed rotational viscometer for 170 seconds -1 The tests were conducted, and the results are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As the salt concentration increased, the apparent viscosity of the instant ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickener decreased. When the NaCl concentration was 15wt%, the apparent viscosity of the emulsion solution reached 14.1 mPa·s; when the CaCl2 concentration was 4wt%, the apparent viscosity of the solution reached 23.4 mPa·s, showing excellent salt tolerance.
[0062] Fracturing fluid drag reduction performance test
[0063] The product obtained in Example 3 was used to prepare a slick water fracturing fluid system. The 0.01wt% instant ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickener was used, with 0.15wt% of a cleanup agent, 0.3wt% of an anti-swelling agent, and the rest being water. The cleanup agent was a non-ionic gemini fluorocarbon surfactant (FCF-206, brand Karamar) and methanol (mass ratio 1:2); the anti-swelling agent was potassium chloride.
[0064] The drag reduction performance test conditions for the slick water fracturing fluid system were: temperature 25℃, pipeline diameter 0.01m, pipeline length 3.95m, flow rate 42L / min; the test results are shown in Figure 4 The experimental results showed that the drag reduction rate was 72.2%, with excellent drag reduction effect, meeting the national slick water use standards.
[0065] Fracturing fluid sand carrying property, gel breaking property, and static filtration property test
[0066] The product obtained in Example 3 was used to prepare a high concentration formula fracturing fluid system. The system composition included 0.2wt% ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickener, 0.4wt% iron ion stabilizer, 1.5wt% anti-swelling agent, 0.5wt% crosslinking agent, 1.5wt% cleanup agent, and the rest being water. The anti-swelling agent was KCl; the crosslinking agent was sodium borate; the cleanup agent was a non-ionic gemini fluorocarbon surfactant (FCF-206, brand Karamar) and methanol (mass ratio 1:2).
[0067] (1) Test the sand-carrying property of the high-concentration formula fracturing fluid system. Mix the fracturing fluid system with 20wt%, 30wt%, and 40wt% content of quartz sand particles (20-40 mesh) uniformly, and place them in a specific specification (100 mL) graduated cylinder. According to the SY / T 7627-2021 water-based fracturing fluid technical requirements, read the settling distance of the quartz sand particles in the oven at 120°C over time, and measure it at 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min, and calculate the settling rate (settling rate = settling distance / time). The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0068] Table 3 Sand-carrying settling rate of high-concentration formula emulsion fracturing fluid system (120°C)
[0069] Settling time (min) 15 30 60 120 Settling rate of 20 wt% quartz sand particles (cm / min) 0.00000 0.00670 0.050 0.0038 Settling rate of 30 wt% quartz sand particles (cm / min) 0.00033 0.00067 0.0067 0.0042 Settling rate of 40 wt% quartz sand particles (cm / min) 0.00670 0.0083 0.0580 0.0041
[0070] The experimental results show that at 120°C, the settling rate of quartz sand particles in the high-concentration formula fracturing fluid system with 20wt%, 30wt%, and 40wt% content is 0.05 cm / min, 0.0067 cm / min, and 0.058 cm / min respectively in the first 60 min. It is observed that the settling rate of quartz sand particles with 30wt% content is the smallest, which is the best sanding amount. The content of 20wt% quartz sand particles is low under the action of gravity, the distance between quartz sand particles is large, and the falling space is too large, so the settling is faster. The content of 40wt% quartz sand particles is high, the distance between quartz sand particles is smaller, and the settling rate is fast under the influence of gravity. However, the overall settling rate is small, indicating that it has good viscoelastic sand-carrying property.
[0071] (2) Test the gel breaking property of the high-concentration formula emulsion fracturing fluid system. Add different content of gel breaker ammonium persulfate to 50 mL of the fracturing fluid system, and break the gel in the 120°C oven according to the SY / T 7627-2021 water-based fracturing fluid technical requirements. Record the time of complete gel breaking of the fracturing fluid, measure the viscosity and residue amount of the gel breaking fluid, and test the surface tension and interfacial tension of the gel breaking fluid using JJ2000 surface tension meter and TX-500 ultra-low rotation drop interfacial tension meter respectively (the oil phase is kerosene when measuring the interfacial tension); the test results are shown in Table 4.
[0072] Table 4 Gel breaking performance of high-concentration formula emulsion fracturing fluid system (120°C)
[0073]
[0074] The experimental results show that the gel breaking time of the emulsion type fracturing fluid system is short at 120 DEG C. In high temperature formation, the gel breaking agent dosage can be selected as 0.04wt%, the gel breaking agent dosage is small and the gel breaking time is short. In medium and low temperature formation, the gel breaking agent dosage can be selected as 0.07wt%, the surface tension of the gel breaking fluid is less than or equal to 28mN / m, the interfacial tension is less than or equal to 2mN / m, and the standard is met. As shown in Table 3, the surface tension and the interfacial tension of the gel breaking fluid are low, on the one hand, the cleanup aid is a surfactant, which reduces the surface and interfacial tension, and on the other hand, the quaternary ammonium salt cation and sulfonate ion contained in the thickening agent are hydrophilic groups, which also play the role of surfactants, and can effectively reduce the surface and interfacial tension of the gel breaking fluid. The residue content of each test gel breaking fluid is less than or equal to 600mg / L, the test results meet the requirements of the general technical conditions of fracturing fluid, and the test data after gel breaking also meet the standard 'General Technical Conditions of Fracturing Fluid', which shows that the thickening agent has good gel breaking performance.
[0075] (3) The static filtration of the high-concentration formula emulsion type fracturing fluid system is tested, the initial filtration Q SP , the filtration rate V c and the static filtration coefficient C3 of the fracturing fluid system are tested under the condition of high temperature (120 DEG C) according to the technical requirements of the water-based fracturing fluid SY / T 7627-2021, and the test results are shown in Figure 5 and Table 5.
[0076] Table 5 Static filtration parameters of the high-concentration formula emulsion type fracturing fluid system (120 DEG C)
[0077] Q SP Leak-off coefficient (m / min 1 / 2 )]]> V c rate (m / min) [C3 initial fluid loss (ml 3 / m 2 )]]> 7.5 x 10 -6 ]]> 1.2 x 10 -7 ]]> 2.178 x 10 -4 ]]>
[0078] The experimental results show that the initial filtration Q SP , the filtration rate V c and the static filtration coefficient C3 all meet the standard (Q SP ≤1x10 - 2 m 3 / m 2 , V c ≤1x10 -4 m / min, C3≤6x10 -3 m / min 1 / 2 ), and have good filtration performance.
[0079] In summary, the instantaneously dissolved ternary copolymer emulsion type fracturing fluid thickening agent developed in the application has the advantages of fast dissolution, high apparent viscosity, good temperature resistance, shear resistance and salt resistance, and the fracturing fluid system prepared by the thickening agent has excellent properties such as drag reduction, sand carrying, gel breaking, static filtration and the like, meets the corresponding index requirements of oil and gas field fracturing, and has a good application prospect in offshore oil and gas and shale oil and gas development.
