Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploration and development, in particular to a low-viscosity nano drag-reducing agent suitable for a "fracturing-three extraction" integrated process of a tight oil reservoir, a preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reservoir matrix of a tight oil reservoir is generally low in porosity (<10%) and permeability (<0.1 mD), and micro-nano pore throats are developed in the reservoir, so it is difficult to produce oil and gas, and the natural production capacity is low. Therefore, the reservoir must be reformed to increase production, so as to realize efficient development of the tight oil reservoir. At present, the mainstream technology is a "fracturing-three extraction" integrated process of volume fracturing and tertiary oil recovery. On the basis of generating artificial fractures and connecting natural fractures by fracturing fluid, the oil displacement agent continuously penetrates into the far well zone and the micro-pore channel of the reservoir matrix, increases the swept volume, improves the formation energy, and finally improves the recovery efficiency.

[0003] The fracturing fluid commonly used in the "fracturing-three extraction" integrated process is high-viscosity fracturing fluid, which realizes the functions of filtration loss reduction, pressure building for fracture creation, sand carrying, etc. by using its high viscosity. However, the high viscosity also causes the fracturing fluid to have a large molecular beam diameter, resulting in a large flow resistance in the formation, and it is difficult to enter the micro-nano pore throat and matrix. Therefore, there are problems of high initial production, rapid decline, and low recovery efficiency. The high-viscosity fracturing fluid is not completely broken, and residues are left in the formation, which reduces the permeability of the reservoir and causes damage to the reservoir. Therefore, a suitable fracturing fluid system should be selected to improve the fracturing effect while avoiding secondary damage to the formation.

[0004] In the prior art, a nano thickening agent is synthesized by using 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid. Although the synthesized thickening agent has a nano-level molecular beam size, practical application shows that the resistance of the fracturing fluid entering the nano-level pore throat is much greater than that of the main fracture, and the fracturing fluid flows a lot to the main fracture, so it is difficult to form a complex fracture network. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a low-viscosity nano drag-reducing agent suitable for a "fracturing-three extraction" integrated process of a tight oil reservoir, which solves the problem that the low-viscosity nano slick water fracturing fluid developed in the prior art has a much greater resistance to entering the nano-level pore throat than the main fracture, and the fracturing fluid flows a lot to the main fracture, so it is difficult to form a complex fracture network.

Continuously adding non-ionic vinyl monomers and co-solvents into solution A to obtain solution B; S3. After solution B is heated, adding an initiator solution to perform a reaction; S4. When the solution becomes viscous, stopping stirring, removing the inert gas atmosphere, and sealing the reaction to obtain the low-viscosity nano drag reducer.

[0013] Further, in S1, the stirring rate of the stirring state is 100-600 rpm, and the time of the inert gas atmosphere is 15-60 min.

[0014] Further, in S3, the initiator solution comprises a potassium persulfate solution and a sodium bisulfite solution, the mass ratio is 1:1, the two are added with an interval of 5-15 min, the reaction temperature is 30-50℃, and the reaction time is 4-6 h.

[0015] The present application also provides an application of the low-viscosity nano drag reducer in a "fracturing-three extraction" integrated process of a compact oil reservoir.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The low viscosity nanometer drag reduction agent provided by the application has a nanometer molecular beam size, which ensures that the fracturing fluid can enter the micro-nanometer pore throat in the tight oil reservoir, and realizes effective use of oil and gas resources.
