Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fracturing fluids for oil and gas field transformation, and in particular, to a fracturing fluid, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, for volume fracturing of low-permeability tight reservoirs, the fracturing fluid is required to have the characteristics of rapid swelling, excellent drag reduction, and controllable viscosity. Therefore, the reverse emulsion system and the oil-based suspension emulsion system with multiple effects in one agent have become the mainstream fracturing fluid systems for tight gas transformation. Among them, the molecular weight of the reverse emulsion system is less than 16 million, the drag reduction rate is good, and the salt tolerance performance is ≤40000 mg / L, but it is only applicable to the water quality environment with medium and low salinity. However, the oil-based suspension emulsion system has the characteristics of large polymer molecules, excellent drag reduction, adjustable salt tolerance, and wide suitability. However, these two types of fracturing fluid systems usually add a large amount of white oil and emulsifier during the synthesis or preparation process, which will cause the oil phase to emulsify with fluids such as reservoir condensate oil after entering the micro-pore throats of the low-permeability reservoir, thereby resulting in poor fluid flow ability and aggravating reservoir damage.

[0003] Based on this, scientific researchers have also studied strategies to solve the above problems. Among them, Ren Shan et al. prepared an aqueous drag reducer using polyols, alcohol ethers, polyhydric alcohols, ethanolamines, etc. as solvents in order to achieve the purpose of rapid dissolution of water-soluble polymers in water. However, due to the presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups, the viscosity of the prepared drag reducer itself is very high, and the viscosity of the drag reducer itself will further increase with the passage of time, which is not conducive to on-site suction and pumping, so its further popularization and use are limited.

[0004] In summary, the fracturing fluid systems in the prior art have problems such as large viscosity or poor drag reduction performance, which limits the further application of the fracturing fluid systems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof to improve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a fracturing fluid, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof to solve the problems of large viscosity or poor drag reduction performance existing in the fracturing fluid systems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fracturing fluid, which comprises a diversified ester-based solvent, nanoparticles, and a water-soluble thickening agent; wherein, the water-soluble thickening agent is polyacrylamide and its derivatives.

[0008] Further, the nanoparticles are selected from one or more of hydrophilic nano-silica, hydrophobically modified silica, or nano-cellulose; preferably, the particle size D50 of the nanoparticles is 50-150 nm.

[0009] Further, the components of the fracturing fluid include: 40-45% of a water-soluble thickening agent, 55-60% of a diversified ester-based solvent, and 0.3-2.5% of a nano-material; preferably, the polyacrylamide and its derivatives are selected from one or more of non-ionic polyacrylamide, poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate), poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt), poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt-long chain alkyl dimethyl allyl ammonium chloride), or poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt-fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether methacrylate); preferably, the weight-average molecular weight Mw of the water-soluble thickening agent is 4 million to 30 million; preferably, the water-soluble thickening agent is granular, and its average particle size is 120-180 μm.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a preparation method of the above fracturing fluid, which includes: Step S1: Dispersing the nanoparticles in the diversified ester-based solvent and performing a primary shearing treatment to obtain a pseudo-fluid; Step S2, adding the water-soluble thickening agent to the pseudo-fluid and performing a secondary shearing treatment to obtain the fracturing fluid.

[0011] Further, both the primary shearing treatment and the secondary shearing treatment are performed in a high-speed shearing machine; preferably, the shearing power of the primary shearing treatment is 25-50 kW, the shearing speed is 9000-10000 rpm, and the shearing time is 1-1.5 h; preferably, the shearing power of the secondary shearing treatment is 25-50 kW, the shearing speed is 9000-10000 rpm, and the shearing time is 2-3 h.

[0012] Further, the preparation process is carried out in a reaction kettle. Preferably, the temperature inside the reaction kettle is controlled at 10-40 °C by cooling water in the jacket of the reaction kettle; preferably, the temperature of the cooling water is -10 to -20 °C.

[0013] Further, by weight percentage, the addition amount of the nanoparticles accounts for 2-2.5 wt% of the weight of the diversified ester-based solvent.

[0014] Further, by weight percentage, the weight ratio of the water-soluble thickening agent to the nanoparticles is (0.06 - 0.08):1.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided an application of the above fracturing fluid in the field of reservoir reconstruction in oil and gas fields; preferably, the fracturing fluid is used to prepare an oil and gas field fracturing working fluid.

[0016] In the fracturing fluid system in the prior art, the commonly used thickening agent is an oil-based thickening agent, which makes the viscosity of the fracturing fluid relatively large during the application process and the viscosity is uncontrollable, resulting in huge challenges in pumping the fracturing fluid on site, thus limiting its further application. Moreover, in the existing oil-based suspension emulsion system containing an oil-based thickening agent, the oil phase therein is extremely likely to enter the tiny pore throats of low-permeability reservoirs and emulsify with fluids such as reservoir condensate oil, resulting in poor fluid flow ability and poor drag reduction performance, and further aggravating reservoir damage. However, the present invention creatively replaces the oil-based thickening agent with a water-soluble thickening agent and introduces a diversified ester-based solvent as the solvent. In particular, the water-soluble thickening agent is polyacrylamide and its derivatives. This thickening agent can effectively suspend the water-soluble polymer powder, thereby further reducing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid system, obtaining a stable low-viscosity fluid, making it have good diffusion and penetration performance, greatly improving the drag reduction performance, and having a broader application prospect.

[0023] Combined with the technical status of the fracturing fluid in Changqing Oilfield, it is necessary to break through the technical defects and development bottlenecks of the existing fracturing fluid system. Aiming at the reservoir conditions, with the main purpose of reducing the potential damage of the thickening agent, avoiding the use of oil-based thickening agents, creatively introducing diversified ester groups as the continuous phase and modified nanomaterials as the thixotropic agent, and adopting a high-speed shear dispersion process to obtain a low-viscosity fluid with low stability, which can effectively suspend the water-soluble polymer powder, and prepare an oil-free functional fracturing fluid.

[0024] As described in the background art section of the present invention, the fracturing fluid system in the prior art has problems such as relatively high viscosity or poor drag reduction performance, which limits the further application of the fracturing fluid system. In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a fracturing fluid, which includes a diversified ester-based solvent, nanoparticles, and a water-soluble thickening agent; wherein, the water-soluble thickening agent is polyacrylamide and its derivatives.

[0025] In the existing fracturing fluid system, the commonly used thickening agent is an oil-based thickening agent, which makes the viscosity relatively high and uncontrollable during the application of the fracturing fluid, resulting in huge challenges in the on-site suction and pumping of the fracturing fluid, thus limiting its further application. Moreover, in the existing oil-based suspension emulsion system containing an oil-based thickening agent, the oil phase is very likely to enter the tiny pore throats of the low-permeability reservoir and emulsify with fluids such as reservoir condensate oil, resulting in poor fluid flow ability and poor drag reduction performance, and further aggravating reservoir damage. However, the present invention creatively replaces the oil-based thickening agent with a water-soluble thickening agent and introduces a diversified ester-based solvent as the solvent. In particular, the water-soluble thickening agent is polyacrylamide and its derivatives. This thickening agent can effectively suspend the water-soluble polymer powder, thereby further reducing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid system, obtaining a stable low-viscosity fluid, making it have good diffusion and penetration performance, and greatly improving the drag reduction performance, with a broader application prospect.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, by weight percentage, the components of the fracturing fluid include: 20-50% of a water-soluble thickening agent, 50-70% of a diversified ester-based solvent, and 0.5-5.0% of a nanomaterial; to further improve the comprehensive performance of the fracturing fluid, preferably the diversified ester-based solvent is selected from one or more of dimethyl succinate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl phthalate, methyl lactate, or methyl oleate. Using this diversified ester-based solvent as the continuous phase can further improve the viscosity controllability of the fracturing fluid system, endowing it with good diffusion and penetration properties and significantly improving its drag reduction performance.

[0027] To further improve the viscosity controllability of the fracturing fluid system and endow it with good diffusion and penetration properties, preferably the nanoparticles are selected from one or more of hydrophilic nano-silica, hydrophobically modified silica, or nano-cellulose; more preferably, the particle size D50 of the nanoparticles is 50-150 nm. The above-mentioned nanoparticles can be, for example, hydrophilic nano-silica of model HDK-N20 produced by Wacker Chemie AG in Germany, hydrophobically modified silica of model HDK-H20, or nano-cellulose CNF produced by Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd. in Japan.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the components of the fracturing fluid include: 40-45% of a water-soluble thickening agent, 55-60% of a diversified ester-based solvent, and 0.3-2.5% of a nanomaterial; to further obtain a stable low-viscosity fluid with good diffusion and penetration properties, preferably the polyacrylamide and its derivatives are selected from one or more of non-ionic polyacrylamide, poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate), poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid), poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-long-chain alkyl dimethyl allyl ammonium chloride), or poly(acrylamide-sodium acrylate-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether methacrylate); preferably, the weight-average molecular weight Mw of the water-soluble thickening agent is 4 million to 30 million; and the water-soluble thickening agent is in granular form with an average particle size of 120-180 μm.

[0029] For example, the model 6919G produced by Shandong Nuoer Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is non-ionic polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of 10 million - 12 million; NR-GS708 is post-hydrolyzed polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of 28 million; the model NR556 is a copolymer of acrylamide and sodium acrylate with a molecular weight of 20 million; the model NR566 is a terpolymer of acrylamide, sodium acrylate, and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid with a molecular weight of 20 million.

[0032] Another aspect of the present invention provides a preparation method of a fracturing fluid, which includes: Step S1: Dispersing nanoparticles in a polybasic ester-based solvent, and performing a primary shearing treatment to obtain a pseudoplastic fluid; Step S2, adding a water-soluble thickening agent to the pseudoplastic fluid, and performing a secondary shearing treatment to obtain a fracturing fluid.

[0033] Those skilled in the art can first disperse nanoparticles in a polybasic ester-based solvent and perform a primary shearing treatment to obtain a pseudoplastic fluid, and then add a water-soluble thickening agent to the pseudoplastic fluid and perform a secondary shearing treatment to obtain a fracturing fluid. This fracturing fluid has a low viscosity, excellent permeability and dispersibility, and relatively good drag reduction performance. This preparation method is simple, easy to operate, has mild preparation conditions, is suitable for large-scale production, and has broad application prospects.

[0035] To further avoid the influence of heat on the system performance during the preparation of the fracturing fluid, the preparation process is carried out in a reaction kettle. Preferably, the temperature in the reaction kettle is controlled at 10-40°C by cooling water in the jacket of the reaction kettle; more preferably, the temperature of the cooling water is -10 to -20°C. To further improve the preparation efficiency of the fracturing fluid, save resources and production costs, by weight percentage, preferably the nanoparticles account for 2-2.5 wt% of the weight of the diversified ester-based solvent; more preferably, the weight ratio of the water-soluble thickening agent to the nanoparticles is (0.06-0.08):1.

[0036] Specifically, the following preparation method can be adopted: Add the metered diversified ester solvent into a 5-ton reaction kettle. A high-speed shearer is connected to the bottom of the reaction kettle. After sealing, start the stirring of the reaction kettle and the high-speed shearer. Connect a self-suction pipe at the inlet of the high-speed shearer, insert the self-suction pipe into the nano material package for feeding, and perform high-speed shearing for a period of time after the feeding is completed. Then continue to add the metered polyacrylamide and its derivative solid powder, and continue to perform high-speed shearing for a period of time after adding.

[0037] Another aspect of the present invention also provides an application of a fracturing fluid, or a fracturing fluid obtained by the above-mentioned preparation method of the fracturing fluid, in the field of oil and gas field reservoir reconstruction. As described above, this fracturing fluid has excellent drag reduction performance and low viscosity, so it has broad application prospects.

[0038] The water-soluble fracturing fluid of the present invention can be used to prepare the fracturing working fluid for oil and gas fields. The addition amount of 0.05-0.2% wt can prepare the slickwater fracturing fluid with a drag reduction rate ≥ 70%. The addition amount of 0.5-1.5% wt can prepare the high-viscosity sand-carrying fracturing fluid. The addition amount of 1.0% wt has an apparent viscosity ≥ 50 mPa·s at 90°C and 170 s- 1 Shearing for 2 h.
