Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fracturing fluid technology, specifically to a scale-inhibiting cross-linked polymer fracturing fluid and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in petroleum exploration technology, oil and gas resource development is expanding into deeper areas, leading to increasingly deeper wells and consequently, higher reservoir temperatures requiring fracturing. Therefore, to match the fracturing performance of high-temperature reservoirs, higher demands are placed on the temperature and shear resistance of fracturing fluids. Currently, most polymer fracturing fluids utilize multivalent metals such as... , as well as These metal ions can crosslink with polymers, but the bonds formed between them and the polymer are chelate bonds, which are easily broken under high temperature or high shear conditions. This reduces the temperature and shear resistance of the polymer fracturing fluid system, making it unable to meet the requirements for fracturing fluids in construction. Furthermore, these metals cause some degree of environmental pollution, and the residual metal ions in the fracturing flowback fluid increase the difficulty of flowback fluid treatment.

[0003] On the other hand, during fracturing operations, the formation environment, including temperature, formation pressure, and dissolved gases, undergoes a series of changes. The water source used for fracturing fluid is typically water from non-oil / gas reservoirs, which is continuously injected into the oil / gas reservoir. This practice can disrupt the original ion balance of the reservoir water. Because the injected water and the reservoir water contain different scale-forming ions, coupled with the thermodynamic instability and chemical incompatibility of water, inorganic scale such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate easily form, blocking the channels for oil and gas flow. Over time, this blockage gradually reduces the reservoir's conductivity, causing significant damage.

[0004] Based on the above problems, it is essential to invent a fracturing fluid with superior temperature and shear resistance and scale inhibition performance. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0030] In preparing the anti-scaling crosslinked polymer fracturing fluid, the present invention first reacts 2-vinylpropane-1,3-diol and phosphorus pentoxide to obtain vinyl phosphoric acid; reacts ethylenediamine and methyl acrylate to obtain intermediate 1; reacts intermediate 1 and mercaptoethylamine to obtain intermediate 2; and reacts intermediate 2 and vinyl phosphoric acid to obtain a hyperbranched scale inhibitor. The hyperbranched scale inhibitor contains phosphate groups and amide bonds, which can chelate scale-forming metal cations in the solution, giving the fracturing fluid good anti-scaling properties.

[0031] Secondly, an alkenylimidazolium salt monomer was prepared by reacting 1-alkenylimidazolium with bromododecane; acrylamide, acrylic acid, alkenylimidazolium salt monomer, and 3-butene-1-amine were polymerized to prepare functionalized polyacrylamide; carboxyl groups, imidazolium salt cations, and amino groups were introduced into the side chains of the functionalized polyacrylamide; the introduced carboxyl groups can also chelate scale-forming metal cations in the solution, improving the scale prevention performance of the fracturing fluid; the alkenylimidazolium salt monomer contains both imidazolium salt cations and hydrophobic long chains. The imidazolium salt cations can form a cross-linking network by combining with the phosphate groups on the hyperbranched scale inhibitor and the carboxylic acid groups on the functionalized polyacrylamide through positive and negative charge bonding. At the same time, the hydrophobic long chains form hydrophobic microdomains in the aqueous solution, which are further cross-linked through intermolecular hydrophobic association, thereby significantly increasing the viscoelasticity of the polymer aqueous solution.

[0032] Finally, a partial aldol condensation reaction was carried out between the hydroxyl groups of polyvinyl alcohol and the aldehyde groups on (4-formylphenyl)prop-2-enoate to prepare functionalized polyvinyl alcohol. The carbon-carbon double bonds introduced on the functionalized polyvinyl alcohol can undergo Michael addition reaction with the amino groups introduced on the functionalized polyacrylamide at a certain temperature to form covalent crosslinks, which further improves the temperature resistance of the anti-scaling crosslinked polymer fracturing fluid.

[0033] This invention achieves cross-linking of scale-resistant cross-linked polymer fracturing fluid through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic bridging, and hydrophobic association, eliminating the need for additional metal cross-linking agents and offering advantages such as environmental friendliness and low pollution. Furthermore, covalent cross-linking is triggered during temperature increases, ensuring that the fracturing fluid retains sufficient viscosity and elasticity even at high temperatures.

[0059] Test Example 1

[0060] Scale inhibition performance test

[0061] Test method: Referring to standard Q / SY 17126-2019, the scale inhibition efficiency of calcium carbonate scale was tested in the example and comparative examples. The test was conducted three times and the average value was recorded. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1

[0063] ;

[0064] A comparison of the experimental data from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in Table 1 reveals that the scale-inhibiting crosslinked polymer fracturing fluid prepared in this invention exhibits excellent scale inhibition performance.

[0065] By comparison, the scale inhibition rate of calcium carbonate in Examples 1-3 is greater than that in Comparative Example 1. This indicates that the preparation of vinyl phosphoric acid by reacting 2-vinylpropane-1,3-diol and phosphorus pentoxide; the preparation of intermediate 1 by reacting ethylenediamine and methyl acrylate; the preparation of intermediate 2 by reacting intermediate 1 and mercaptoethylamine; and the preparation of hyperbranched scale inhibitor by reacting intermediate 2 and vinyl phosphoric acid are all possible. The hyperbranched scale inhibitor contains phosphate groups and amide bonds, which can chelate scale-forming metal cations in the solution, giving the fracturing fluid good scale prevention properties.

[0066] Test Example 2

[0067] Testing of apparent viscosity and high-temperature shear viscosity

[0068] Apparent viscosity test: Take 500 ml of the example and comparative examples and place them in a beaker. Incubate at room temperature for 170 seconds. -1 Its apparent viscosity was measured using a rotational viscometer at the shear rate.

[0069] Temperature shear viscosity test: Referring to SY / T 5017-2005, the examples and comparative examples were subjected to a temperature of 160℃ for 170 seconds. -1 The shear viscosity was measured after shearing at the specified shear rate for 90 minutes. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0070] Table 2

[0071] ;

[0072] A comparison of the experimental data from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in Table 2 reveals that the anti-scaling crosslinked polymer fracturing fluid prepared by the present invention has good thickening effect and temperature resistance.

[0073] By comparison, the apparent viscosity of Examples 1-3 is greater than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 3, indicating that the alkenylimidazolium salt monomer is prepared by reacting 1-alkenylimidazolium and bromododecane; functionalized polyacrylamide is prepared by polymerizing acrylamide, acrylic acid, alkenylimidazolium salt monomer, and 3-butene-1-amine; carboxyl groups and imidazolium salt cations are introduced into the side chains of functionalized polyacrylamide; the alkenylimidazolium salt monomer contains both imidazolium salt cations and hydrophobic long chains. The imidazolium salt cations can form a cross-linking network with the phosphate groups on the hyperbranched scale inhibitor and the carboxylic acid groups on the functionalized polyacrylamide through positive and negative charge bonding. At the same time, the hydrophobic long chains form hydrophobic microregions in the aqueous solution, thereby significantly increasing the viscoelasticity of the polymer aqueous solution. Further cross-linking through intermolecular hydrophobic association improves the viscosity of the scale-inhibiting cross-linked polymer fracturing fluid.

[0074] By comparison, the temperature-resistant shear viscosity of Examples 1-3 is greater than that of Comparative Example 2, indicating that functionalized polyvinyl alcohol is prepared by undergoing aldol condensation reaction between some hydroxyl groups of polyvinyl alcohol and the aldehyde group on (4-formylphenyl)prop-2-enoate. The carbon-carbon double bonds introduced on the functionalized polyvinyl alcohol can undergo Michael addition reaction with the amino groups introduced on the functionalized polyacrylamide at high temperature to form covalent crosslinks, so that the fracturing fluid still has sufficient viscosity at high temperature.
