Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thickener preparation, and in particular to a modified nano-SiO2 multi-component salt-resistant copolymer suitable for deep-seated coal-rock gas fracturing, a preparation method and a fracturing fluid. Background Art
[0002] Hydraulic fracturing, a widely used reservoir stimulation technique, primarily creates highly conductive fractures around the wellbore, shifting radial flow near the wellbore to a near-linear flow. This not only reduces fluid resistance near the wellbore but also increases the drainage area of the well, thereby increasing production. In recent years, with the increasing proportion of low-permeability, ultra-low-permeability, tight oil and gas reservoirs, and unconventional oil and gas resources, hydraulic fracturing has become an essential production-enhancing measure for oil and gas exploration. Approximately 70% of oil wells and 90% of gas wells require hydraulic fracturing before they can be put into production. During the fracturing process, the fracturing fluid acts as a carrier for transmitting pressure and transporting proppant, and its performance impacts the overall effectiveness of the fracturing operation. As oil and gas development progresses toward deeper reservoirs, the sensitivity of conventional fracturing fluids to water quality, particularly in high-salinity and high-mineralization reservoirs, has led to increasing technical challenges. As the core medium for reservoir transformation, the salt resistance of fracturing fluid has become a key factor restricting the efficiency of deep oil and gas development.
[0003] Extensive research has been conducted on fracturing operations in highly salinized formations. However, both natural and synthetic polymer thickeners exhibit suboptimal thickening performance under high salinity conditions. This engineering challenge has led to the development of a variety of salt-tolerant thickening polymers. In recent years, polyacrylamide (PAA), due to its unique physical and chemical properties derived from its hydrolyzable amide groups, has been widely used in fracturing. Research has enhanced its salt tolerance by introducing specific salt-tolerant monomers into the PAA molecular chain and increasing its molecular weight. However, the technical challenge remains that its salt tolerance is insufficient. This suggests that further improvement is needed in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention brings the following beneficial technical effects:
[0019] (1) The present invention provides a method for preparing a modified nano-SiO2 multi-component salt-tolerant copolymer suitable for deep-seated coal-rock gas fracturing. First, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, a hydrophobic monomer containing a quaternary ammonium group, and modified nano-SiO2 are used as raw materials to obtain a salt-tolerant monomer by aqueous solution polymerization. Then, acrylamide and the obtained salt-tolerant monomer are used as raw materials to obtain a modified nano-SiO2 multi-component copolymer suitable for deep-seated coal-rock gas fracturing by inverse emulsion polymerization, which is used as a fracturing fluid thickener. The amine groups in the thickener molecules are cross-linked through an amidation reaction, thereby enhancing the viscosity of the system. Therefore, the method has the advantage of avoiding the use of a cross-linking agent and reducing production costs.
[0020] (2) The salt-tolerant polymer used as a thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing fluid is prepared into a solution at a mass ratio of 1%. The viscosity of the solution at room temperature is measured to be 35.0 mPa·s to 45.0 mPa·s. The viscosity gradually increases with the increase of salt content. When the salt content is greater than 100,000 mg / L and the salinity is greater than 150,000 mg / L, the viscosity of the solution at room temperature is greater than 80.0 mPa·s. The method of the present invention has a simple preparation process, good salt tolerance, and an economical and reasonable price, and can meet the needs of production increase and transformation of high-salinity and dense deep coal-bed methane reservoirs.
[0021] (3) The present invention also discloses the use of the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer suitable for deep coal-bed gas fracturing as a thickener for fracturing fluid in the deep coal-bed gas fracturing process. Since it contains sulfonic acid groups, which are strong polar groups, it can effectively inhibit the hydrolysis of amide groups in acrylamide, thereby enhancing the salt resistance of the product. The salt-resistant polymer used as a thickener for deep coal-bed gas fracturing fluid can have a reservoir salt content of up to 100,000 mg / L and a mineralization of up to 150,000 mg / L. It also contains quaternary ammonium groups, which can balance the charge with the sulfonic acid groups, reduce the charge shielding effect of salt ions, and utilize the "anti-polyelectrolyte effect" to improve salt resistance and effectively enhance the viscosity of the system. The modified nano-SiO2 is linked to the polymer through covalent bonds, which can limit the excessive curling of the polymer chain and maintain the integrity of the three-dimensional network structure. At the same time, it can resist the compression of salt ions through the steric effect, slow down the collapse of the molecular chain, and effectively improve the salt resistance of the polymer. Since no cross-linking agent is used, damage to the formation is reduced, and production costs are reduced. The salt-resistant thickener has high salt content resistance and good shear resistance, and can realize the effective application of salt-resistant fracturing fluid in high-salt deep coalbed methane reservoirs.

[0058] In order to characterize the performance of the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing, the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing synthesized in Example 6 was prepared into a 1% solution by mass with water of different salt contents, and the viscosity was tested. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 It can be seen that the solution viscosity of the synthesized modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal gas fracturing prepared at a mass ratio of 1% gradually increases with the increase of salt content. When the salt content is greater than 100,000 mg / L, or the total mineralization is greater than 150,000 mg / L, the solution viscosity is greater than 80.0 mPa·s. This is because it contains sulfonic acid groups, which are strong polar groups and can effectively inhibit the hydrolysis of amide groups in acrylamide, thereby enhancing the salt resistance of the product. At the same time, it contains quaternary ammonium groups, which can balance the charge with the sulfonic acid groups, reduce the charge shielding effect of salt ions, and utilize the "anti-polyelectrolyte effect" to improve salt resistance and effectively enhance the viscosity of the system; the modified nano-SiO2 is linked to the polymer through covalent bonds, which can limit the excessive curling of the polymer chain and maintain the integrity of the three-dimensional network structure. At the same time, it can resist the compression of salt ions through the steric effect, slow down the collapse of the molecular chain, and effectively improve the salt resistance of the polymer.
[0059] In order to characterize the shear resistance of the solution of the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing synthesized at a mass ratio of 1% under the condition of a salinity of 35000 mg / L, the viscosity of the solution prepared by the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing synthesized in Example 6 was tested at different shear rates at room temperature. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that as the shear rate increases, the viscosity value continues to decrease. When the shear rate reaches 450s -1 After that, the viscosity value tends to be flat. When the shear rate is further increased, the viscosity value is still 28.0mPa·s, which shows that the synthesized modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal gas fracturing has good shear resistance under the condition of salinity of 35000mg / L.
[0060] In order to characterize the temperature resistance of the solution of the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing synthesized at a mass ratio of 1% under the condition of a salinity of 35000 mg / L, the solution prepared by the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-resistant thickener for deep coal-rock gas fracturing synthesized in Example 6 was subjected to a shear rate of 170s -1 The viscosity test was carried out at different temperatures. The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 As can be seen, the solution viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, reaching a viscosity greater than 15.0 mPa·s at 80°C. This demonstrates that the modified nano-SiO2 multi-polymer salt-tolerant thickener for deep coalbed methane fracturing has good temperature resistance at a salinity of 35,000 mg / L and can be used in deep coalbed methane wells at 80°C.
