Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum fracturing emulsion drag reducers, and in particular to an emulsion drag reducer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the proportion of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in proven oil and gas reserves has increased significantly, making the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources particularly important. Due to the low permeability of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, industrial production often requires hydraulic fracturing. Slickwater, one of the most widely used fracturing fluids, reduces frictional resistance in high-speed pumping pipelines and minimizes reservoir damage. Drag reducers, the core additives in slickwater, are typically high-molecular-weight polyacrylamide or copolymers of acrylamide and other monomers. Drag reducers improve fracturing efficiency by preventing the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the pipeline or by reducing turbulence. In addition to drag reducers, other treatment agents such as clay stabilizers, drainage aids, and biocides are also required in slickwater. Conventional slickwater has excellent drag reduction, but its sand-carrying capacity is limited. In long horizontal well sections and complex fractures, it cannot carry proppant to the fracture end, significantly compromising fracturing effectiveness. Current construction operations address this issue by combining the use of slickwater fracturing fluid to create complex seams with the use of glue to carry sand. However, as slickwater and glue are two different fracturing fluid systems, using the same pumping pipe during construction can lead to pipe blockage or fluid failure due to incompatibility between the two fracturing fluid systems. Furthermore, installing separate pipelines for pumping would increase the area of the well site and incur additional costs.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a multifunctional drag reducer that combines drag reduction / drainage aid / clay with stable functions. Through a set of systems, it can achieve low-viscosity and high-efficiency drag reduction to create complex fractures while carrying proppants to the end of the fractures with high viscosity, realize online automatic preparation of slick water, meet the on-site preparation and injection process requirements, and achieve the purpose of improving the efficiency of fracturing construction.
