Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular to a method for treating oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid by using a PolyCera series membrane. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing is the core technology currently used in the development of unconventional oil and gas fields. The hydraulic fracturing operation process consumes a large amount of water resources in a short period of time. The number of wells required for mining is large and the water demand for each well is large. Some of the injected hydraulic fracturing fluid will remain in the formation, but a part of the injected water will return to the ground after the fracturing fluid pressure is released. These refluxed liquids usually contain: proppant, chemical residues, formation water, rock cuttings, sand and gravel and other substances.

[0003] The differences in geological structure and groundwater environment of oil and gas fields in different regions of my country lead to differences in the water quality of fracturing flowback fluid in different regions. In addition, during the fracturing process, it is usually necessary to configure fracturing fluids with different components in combination with different geological structures, which further leads to the complex composition of fracturing flowback fluid pollutants. In addition, fracturing flowback fluid also has the characteristics of stable system and difficult treatment.

[0004] The main destinations of the treated fracturing flowback fluid in the industry are: secondary fluid preparation, enterprise reuse, etc. At present, the existing treatment methods for fracturing flowback fluid are mostly pretreatment + sand filtration / multi-media filtration / walnut shell filtration and other treatment processes. The disadvantages of the existing processes are mainly in two aspects: on the one hand, the filter device needs regular air washing and water washing during operation; on the other hand, the filter device has poor oil removal stability, which leads to large fluctuations in the content of suspended matter and petroleum in the effluent. If you want to ensure the stability of the effluent water quality through pretreatment + sand filtration / multi-media filtration / walnut shell filtration + ultrafiltration device, once oil, colloids and other pollutants enter the ultrafiltration device, it is very easy to cause blockage of the ultrafiltration membrane. It is urgent to develop a fracturing flowback fluid treatment method that can efficiently remove suspended matter, colloids, petroleum and other substances in the fracturing flowback fluid to solve the problems of low treatment efficiency, poor treatment effect and poor treatment stability of the existing treatment methods. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for treating oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid using PolyCera series membranes, so as to solve the problems of low treatment efficiency, poor treatment effect and poor treatment stability existing in the existing treatment methods of fracturing flowback fluid.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A method for treating oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid using a PolyCera series membrane, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: After homogenizing the oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid, add inorganic coagulants and organic flocculants, stir, settle, oxidize, and perform solid-liquid separation;

[0009] S2: adding impurity removal reagent to the liquid obtained in S1, stirring, settling, and performing solid-liquid separation again;

[0010] S3: The liquid obtained in S2 is passed through the PolyCera series membrane to complete the treatment.

[0011] Furthermore, the inorganic coagulant in S1 includes at least one of polyaluminium chloride, polyferric sulfate and polyferric chloride.

[0012] Furthermore, the organic flocculant in S1 includes at least one of anionic polyacrylamide, nonionic polyacrylamide and natural polymer flocculant.

[0013] Furthermore, the amount of inorganic coagulant added in S1 is 300-350 mg / L; the amount of organic flocculant added is 1-3 mg / L.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical scheme are as follows: the present invention combines an inorganic coagulant and an organic flocculant, adsorbs impurities through the electrical neutralization effect of the inorganic coagulant, and combines with the bridging effect of the organic flocculant to form a larger floc structure, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of flocculation and sedimentation. At the same time, the addition of the organic flocculant can make up for the defects of the short molecular chain and insufficient sweeping particles of the inorganic coagulant, enhance the stability and sedimentation effect of the floc, and significantly improve the removal rate of suspended matter, petroleum and heavy metals in sewage.

[0015] Furthermore, the homogenization time in S1 is 10-30 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the stirring speed in S1 is 300-1000 rpm, the time is 10-30 h, and the sedimentation time is 10-30 h.

[0017] Further, the impurity removal agent in S2 includes alkaline substances, metal salts, inorganic coagulants and organic flocculants;

[0018] The alkaline substance includes at least one of sodium hydroxide and slaked lime;

[0019] The metal salt includes at least one of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate;

[0020] The inorganic coagulant includes at least one of polyaluminium chloride, polyferric sulfate and polyferric chloride;

[0021] The organic flocculant includes at least one of anionic polyacrylamide, nonionic polyacrylamide and natural polymer flocculant.

[0022] Furthermore, an alkaline substance is added until the pH of the liquid is 9.0-11.0.

[0023] Furthermore, the addition amount of the metal salt is: 17500-23000 mg / L; the addition amount of the inorganic coagulant is 300-350 mg / L; and the addition amount of the organic flocculant is 1-3 mg / L.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical scheme is: the present invention combines alkaline substances, salt substances and anionic polyacrylamide to carry out impurity removal process. On the one hand, sodium hydroxide, slaked lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate as alkaline substances and salt substances can effectively remove metal ions in sewage. On the other hand, by adjusting the pH, the adsorption and impurity removal efficiency of anionic polyacrylamide is effectively improved.

[0025] Furthermore, the stirring speed in S2 is 30-100 rpm, the time is 10-30 min, and the sedimentation time is 1.0-1.5 h.

[0026] Furthermore, the membrane operating pressure of the PolyCera series membrane in S3 is 0.2-0.4MPa, and the membrane operating flux is 20-40L / m 2 / h, influent suspended matter concentration <100mg / L, influent petroleum content <100mg / L.

[0027] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The present invention provides a method for treating oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid by using PolyCera series membranes. The method mainly adopts the method of "pretreatment + impurity removal + membrane separation". The method first removes some colloids, suspended matter, petroleum and other substances in the raw water through pretreatment to destroy the stability of the raw water; secondly, the scale-forming components and some suspended matter in the raw water are removed through the impurity removal unit; finally, the PolyCera series membranes are used for fine filtration to further remove suspended matter, petroleum, colloid and other components in the water. The treated fracturing flowback fluid can be used for: secondary liquid preparation, enterprise reuse, etc. The main purpose of the present invention is to improve the reuse rate of water resources and save water resources. At the same time, it also relies on a short processing flow to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction for enterprises and reduce the workload of personnel. During the operation, the system's operating stability is maintained by not adding drugs or adding less drugs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0083] The above 6 methods were used to treat the fracturing flowback fluid, and the relevant water quality indicators of the effluent after one week of operation were tested. The test results are shown in Table 2:

[0086] As shown in Table 2, the present invention adopts a combination of inorganic iron coagulants, inorganic aluminum coagulants and organic flocculants to pretreat the fracturing return fluid. Through the combination of organic and inorganic, on the one hand, impurities are adsorbed by electrical neutralization, and on the other hand, the bridging effect of the organic flocculant and the inorganic coagulant are combined to form larger flocs, thereby improving the efficiency of flocculation and sedimentation; and further impurities are removed by combining alkaline substances, salt substances and anionic polyacrylamide. On the one hand, the addition of alkaline substances can more effectively remove residual metal ions in the feed liquid, and on the other hand, the addition of alkaline substances to adjust the pH improves the efficiency of the anionic polyacrylamide, thereby achieving further improvement in the sedimentation effect; the addition of salt substances can simultaneously and synergistically remove the hardness in the water; finally, the PolyCera series membrane is used for filtration, which effectively removes most of the divalent metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in the fracturing return fluid, and removes suspended matter, petroleum and some colloids. Compared with Comparative Example 1 in which no metal salt was added, Comparative Example 2 in which no alkaline substance was added, Comparative Example 3 in which no metal salt and alkaline substance were added, and Comparative Example 4 using a traditional polyvinyl chloride ultrafiltration membrane, the total hardness, suspended matter, and petroleum content of the effluent after treatment by the method of the present invention are significantly lower, and the method of the present invention has a better fracturing flowback fluid treatment effect.

[0087] The fracturing flowback fluid treatment method of Example 4 and Comparative Example 4 was used to continuously treat the fracturing flowback fluid for 3 months, and the treatment effect was measured every week. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0090] According to the data in the above table, compared with Comparative Example 4, Example 4 of the present invention adopts the PolyCera series membrane to treat fracturing return fluid, which has more sustained stability, and the indicators of the effluent have almost no obvious changes within three months. However, in Comparative Example 4 using the traditional polyvinyl chloride ultrafiltration membrane, the oil resistance of the polyvinyl chloride ultrafiltration membrane is poor after the oil substances enter the ultrafiltration membrane, which can easily cause the ultrafiltration membrane to be blocked, resulting in the inability to effectively maintain stability during the subsequent fracturing return fluid treatment, requiring frequent cleaning, and the subsequent treatment effect is significantly deteriorated, requiring further cleaning and maintenance.

[0091] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
