Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fracturing fluids, and in particular relates to a multifunctional integrated clean fracturing fluid for deep coalbed methane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, deep coalbed methane production in the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin has surpassed 2,000 meters in depth, achieving industrial production capacity. Recognizing that deep coalbed methane could be a commercially viable natural gas resource, following breakthroughs in the Daning-Jixian region, technical exploration and process trials have been conducted in areas such as Jiaxian South, Shenfu, Wushen Banner, Daniudi, Yichuan, Yanchang, and Yanchuan South in the Ordos Basin, all resulting in high-yield gas flows.

[0003] Hydraulic fracturing is a preferred and effective method for increasing production in deep coalbed methane (CBM). With advances in large-scale volume fracturing technology, the effectiveness of deep CBM transformation has been continuously improved, initially achieving profitable development of deep CBM. Deep CBM is characterized by low pressure, low porosity, low permeability, and multiple cleats. Currently, the main method for improving transformation effectiveness is to use large amounts of fracturing fluid to open multiple cleat fractures. However, during hydraulic flushing, the proppant abrasion and the formation of large amounts of coal dust within the coal seam occur simultaneously. Based on geological data and engineering practice, low-viscosity fracturing fluids present difficulties in adding sand, while high-viscosity fracturing fluids are difficult to break, causing significant damage to the reservoir. Coal dust easily aggregates and settles, causing pump blockage. Furthermore, fracturing fluids have poor permeability, preventing adsorbed gas from penetrating deep pores. Therefore, providing a clean fracturing fluid suitable for deep CBM is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

This system has a multifunctional integrated function.

[0028] Performance testing 1. Dispersion ability test The fracturing fluids obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were broken with 0.01 wt% persulfate at 80°C for 2 hours to obtain broken liquids. The dispersibility of the broken liquids in deep coalbed methane layers was determined using the suspension method, and the suspension time of the broken liquids in coal was determined using the static sand suspension method. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Dispersion ability test results As can be seen from Table 1, the static settling velocity of the fracturing fluid of the present invention on coal powder is low, and the time required to complete the aggregation is long.

[0029] 2. Static stability test The static stability of coal-water slurry is evaluated by measuring the ability of pulverized coal to resist gravity in the absence of other external forces. At room temperature, the slurry was thoroughly mixed with fracturing fluid and pulverized coal in a volume ratio of 100:70. The static stability of the slurry was tested using the static stability test method specified in GB / T 18856.5-2008, "Test Methods for Coal-Water Slurries - Part 5: Determination of Stability." Results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 Static stability test results .

[0030] 3. Antioxidant Effect Testing Pyrite-bearing coal rock was ground into ultrafine powder with a pyrite content of 5%. 5g of the powder was thoroughly mixed with a fracturing fluid at a mass ratio of 1:20. Nitrogen was introduced for 30 minutes and stirred continuously for 2 hours. The lower sediment was centrifuged and weighed. After drying, the iron precipitate was flotated to determine its amount. The smaller the amount of sediment, the stronger the antioxidant property. The results are shown in Table 3. Table 3 Antioxidant effect test .

[0031] 4. Permeability effect evaluation The smooth surface of the coal rock block, i.e., the natural bedding surface, was selected as the experimental surface. The dynamic contact angle was used to measure the contact angle of the coal rock with different fracturing and gel-breaking fluids after 10 seconds of contact. The smaller the contact angle, the stronger the infiltration, spreading, and penetration effects, as shown in Table 4. Table 4 Test results of contact angle θ between fracturing fluid and coal rock .
