Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fracturing technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing air-suspended proppant for fracturing, and also relating to air-suspended proppant for fracturing. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening development of unconventional reservoirs, slickwater fracturing has become one of the main technologies for oil and gas reservoir stimulation in Changqing Oilfield. Compared with high-viscosity fracturing fluids, slickwater easily forms complex fracture structures and has the characteristics of low cost, low viscosity, low damage, low friction, and easy flowback. However, the low viscosity of slickwater makes it difficult to carry proppant, resulting in problems such as rapid proppant settling and uneven proppant distribution. Furthermore, as the distance between horizontal wells increases, using high-viscosity fracturing fluids to carry proppant into the formation also presents problems such as uneven proppant distribution, difficulty in breaking up the gel, and increased development costs and environmental pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an air-suspended proppant that can adsorb a large number of air bubbles on its surface to achieve a suspension effect under gas injection conditions, based on field requirements. That is, a layer of hydrophobic and gas-philic material is coated on the surface of the proppant. With gas injection, the surface of the proppant adsorbs air bubbles, increasing its buoyancy and thus suspending it in slickwater. This air-suspended proppant has good compatibility with low-viscosity slickwater, increasing the proppant concentration while saving the amount of thickener and water used for preparation, meeting different process requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0007] S2. At room temperature, take a portion of tetrahydrofuran (THF) into a test cup, add a portion of hydrophobic and anaerobic material into the test cup and dissolve it completely. Then, under magnetic stirring, add a portion of silane coupling agent into the test cup and disperse it evenly.

[0008] S3. Stir the solution in the test cup using a mixer. Then, spray the solution in the test cup evenly onto the surface of the quartz sand in S1 using a spraying process. After that, put the sprayed quartz sand into an oven for curing. Remove it and cool it to room temperature to obtain the air suspension proppant for fracturing.

[0015] The mixer used in S3 is a model IKA6 mixer with a mixing speed of 100-500 r / min.

[0016] The spraying process in S3 involves using a hand-operated sprayer to uniformly spray the solution in the test cup onto the surface of the quartz sand in S1 under stirring conditions of 200r / min to 500r / min.

[0017] The curing temperature for S3 is 50℃~200℃, and the curing time is 5min~45min.

[0018] Another technical solution adopted in this invention is a fracturing air suspension proppant, which is prepared using the above-mentioned fracturing air suspension proppant preparation method. The fracturing air suspension proppant has a contact angle of 117.1°, a suspension ratio of not less than 95%, and a static suspension rate of not less than 93%.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] The present invention provides an air-suspended proppant for fracturing and its preparation method. This method involves introducing silanol bonds through silane coupling modification on the proppant surface, and then using a chemical grafting method to coat a hydrophobic and gas-philic material onto the surface of quartz sand to obtain the air-suspended proppant for fracturing.

[0118]

[0119] As can be seen from Table 1, Examples 1 to 6 achieved silane coupling (C6H) on the surface of the support. 16 O2Si) modification introduces silanol bonds, and long-chain branched fluorosilicone modified resin (PR-C) is grafted onto the surface of quartz sand to prepare an air-suspended proppant. Comparative Example 1, however, does not modify the quartz sand surface; PR-C is directly sprayed onto the quartz sand surface. Compared to Comparative Example 1, silane coupling (C6H) is performed on the proppant surface... 16O2Si) modification introduces silanol bonds. PR-C is then sprayed onto the modified quartz sand surface, chemically grafting with Si-OH to combine the two materials with significantly different properties. This unique "molecular bridge" effect greatly improves the interfacial interaction between the proppant and PR-C, thereby enhancing the adhesion of PR-C to the quartz sand surface. Consequently, it exhibits excellent suspension ratio and static suspension rate, meeting the requirements of the proppant industry. Figure 3 It can be seen that the prepared air-suspended proppant for fracturing has a good suspension ratio and static suspension rate.
