Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield exploitation, and specifically to a preparation method of an environmentally friendly drag reducer for fracturing. Background Art
[0002] With the growth of the demand for unconventional oil and gas resources development, hydraulic fracturing technology has become a key means to improve reservoir permeability. In fracturing operations, as the core additive of the slickwater system, the drag reducer can effectively reduce the flow resistance of the fluid in the pipeline and fractures, improve the pumping efficiency of the fracturing fluid and reduce the construction energy consumption. At present, polyacrylamide and its modified derivatives are generally used as the main materials of the drag reducer at home and abroad. However, under high-shear reservoir conditions, the molecular chains are prone to breakage or conformational collapse, resulting in a sudden drop in viscosity and a decrease in the drag reduction rate. In addition, when the fracturing fluid stays in the formation for a long time, the growth of microorganisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria and saprophytic bacteria will cause pipe corrosion, pore blockage and hydrogen sulfide pollution. Due to the lack of antibacterial function, traditional drag reducers are difficult to meet the long-term operation requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a drag reducer for fracturing with strong shear resistance and good antibacterial effect. The literature "Synthesis and Performance Evaluation of High Salt-Resistant Drag Reducers" synthesized a high salt-resistant drag reducer using acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and hexadecyl acrylamide as monomers, a self-made oligomer as a dispersant, and a redox system as an initiator. It has a drag reduction rate of more than 76% under 10% calcium chloride conditions, but its antibacterial performance and shear resistance still need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0012] During the above - mentioned reaction process, benzotriazole, formaldehyde, and N - methyl - 4 - penten - 1 - amine undergo a Mannich reaction to obtain intermediate 1 and introduce a tertiary amino group and an alkenyl group.

[0021] (III) Beneficial technical effects
[0022] In the present invention, an environmentally friendly drag - reducing agent for fracturing is obtained by polymerizing acrylamide, acrylic acid, benzotriazole - modified sulfobetaine, and Schiff - base - modified chitosan with carbon nanotubes in water, followed by washing and drying.
[0023] The rigid heterocyclic structure of benzotriazole in benzotriazole-modified sulfobetaine can form a physical cross-linked network with amide groups through hydrogen bonding. This interaction increases the binding force between molecular chains and reduces the slippage and breakage of chain segments under high shear force, thereby improving the shear resistance of the drag reducer. Sulfobetaine molecules contain both quaternary ammonium groups and sulfonic acid groups. The positively charged quaternary ammonium groups bind to bacterial cell membranes through electrostatic interaction, destroying membrane integrity and causing leakage of intracellular substances. Sulfonic acid groups can interfere with the activity of bacterial metabolic enzymes, block energy synthesis, inhibit bacterial reproduction, and improve the antibacterial properties of the drag reducer. In carbon nanotube-modified Schiff base chitosan, the fluorene group is composed of two benzene rings connected by The rigid planar structure formed by the five-membered ring connection and the hydrophobicity of the fluorene group drive it to form hydrophobic associated microdomains in water, enhancing the physical entanglement between molecular chains. These microdomains can temporarily dissociate and reassociate under high shear, improving the shear resistance of the drag reducer; the high aspect ratio and rigid structure of the carbon nanotubes form an interpenetrating network in the polymer matrix, limiting the slippage of the molecular chains and reducing chain breakage under high shear; chitosan chelates metal ions, interfering with the metabolic process of bacterial cells and exerting an antibacterial effect; the phosphorus atoms of quaternary phosphonium salts are larger in volume than the nitrogen atoms of quaternary ammonium salts and have a more concentrated positive charge, making them easier to adsorb and penetrate the negatively charged bacterial cell membrane, causing the membrane structure to disintegrate, thereby enhancing the antibacterial effect of the drag reducer.
