Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fracturing fluid technology, specifically to a high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to traditional water-based plant-based fracturing fluids, clean fracturing fluids offer superior performance in areas such as gel breaking, proppant carrying, and reservoir protection. They address the cumulative formation damage caused by traditional water-based plant-based fracturing fluids, enabling long-term production and representing a key focus of next-generation fracturing fluid development. However, as oilfields gradually shift towards deeper, higher-temperature, and lower-permeability reservoirs, clean fracturing fluids are exhibiting two major problems: ① their temperature resistance cannot meet the requirements of high-temperature reservoirs; ② their synthesis methods are demanding, resulting in high production costs. Therefore, developing clean fracturing fluids that retain the advantages of easy gel breaking and minimal formation damage while significantly improving temperature resistance and reducing production costs is crucial for my country's economic growth and reservoir protection.
[0003] Clean fracturing fluid, also known as viscoelastic surfactant fracturing fluid (VES), is a solution based on viscoelastic surfactants. It has the advantages of rapid and thorough flowback, low damage, good proppant carrying capacity, and good filtration control performance, which solves the defect of incomplete gel breaking in conventional fracturing fluid systems.
[0004] Several studies have been reported on clean fracturing fluids. A literature review ("Fine Chemicals," 2014, Vol. 31, No. 12, pp. 66-70) discloses a clean fracturing fluid and its preparation method. It uses octadecylamine and 1,6-dibromohexane as raw materials to synthesize a cationic gemini surfactant, which is then combined with sodium salicylate and potassium chloride to form a clean fracturing fluid. However, this clean fracturing fluid has low temperature resistance and is only suitable for formations around 110°C, failing to meet the requirements of high-temperature oil and gas fields. Chinese invention patent CN103525391B discloses a high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid and its preparation method, using an amphoteric gemini surfactant, a sulfonate or sulfate co-surfactant, and a low-carbon small-molecule alcohol flushing agent to formulate a clean fracturing fluid. Although this clean fracturing fluid has good temperature resistance, its preparation process is cumbersome and costly, making large-scale application in oil fields difficult. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid and its preparation method. It has good high-temperature resistance, salt resistance and shear resistance, good sand carrying capacity, excellent viscoelasticity, avoids damage to the original formation properties caused by a large number of inorganic ions, has a simple preparation process, and has a wide range of raw material sources. It has broad application prospects in oil and gas field development and production enhancement.

[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the exhaust aid is selected from at least one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and cyclohexanol.
[0029] This invention further protects a method for preparing the above-mentioned high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid, comprising the following steps:
[0030] (1) Dissolve the high-temperature resistant Gemini surfactant and co-surfactant in water, stir and mix evenly, add nanoparticles, emulsify, and obtain a mixture.
[0031] (2) Add drainage aid to the mixture in step (1), stir and mix evenly to obtain high temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid.
[0032] This invention further protects the application of the above-mentioned high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid in oil and gas field development and production enhancement.
[0033] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0034] This invention prepares a high-temperature resistant gemini surfactant. On one hand, the introduction of a benzene ring into the molecular chain increases molecular rigidity, significantly improving the surfactant's thermal stability and shear resistance. Simultaneously, the introduction of amino groups increases molecular weight, acid solubility, and temperature resistance. The introduced sulfonic acid groups enhance temperature and salt resistance. Furthermore, the hydrophobic long-chain alkyl chain exhibits a salt-thickening effect, further improving the molecule's temperature and salt resistance. Therefore, the high-temperature resistant gemini surfactant prepared by this invention, through its special structural design, results in fracturing fluids with excellent temperature, salt, and shear resistance. Simultaneously, the strong interaction between the viscoelastic surfactant and counterions gives the system excellent viscoelastic properties and proppant carrying capacity. It can achieve spontaneous gel breaking, and the small-molecule surfactant in the breaking fluid causes low reservoir damage. Due to the synergistic effect with the co-surfactant, the breaking fluid typically exhibits high interfacial activity, contributing to further improving post-fracturing crude oil displacement capacity. Moreover, the preparation method is simple, the raw materials are widely available, and the preparation cost is low.
[0035] This invention further incorporates nanoparticles. By controlling the reaction conditions, small-diameter silica nanospheres were prepared. These nanospheres were then modified using an amino-containing silane coupling agent, resulting in amino groups on the surface of the nanospheres. Through nucleophilic reactions, these nanospheres react with haloalkanes under alkaline conditions to form long-chain alkyl groups and quaternary ammonium salt structures. The long-chain alkyl groups on the surface of the prepared nanoparticles can interact with the long-chain alkyl groups of surfactants, stabilizing the micelles formed by the surfactants and exhibiting synergistic effects. The interfacial adsorption energy is much higher than that of the surfactants, which enhances the strength of the foam film and improves the high-temperature and salt resistance of the fracturing fluid. The small particle size of the nanoparticles makes them less likely to clog porous media, thus exhibiting lower toxicity.
[0036] The high-temperature resistant clean fracturing fluid prepared by this invention has good high-temperature resistance, salt resistance and shear resistance, good sand carrying capacity, and excellent viscoelasticity. It avoids damage to the original formation properties caused by a large number of inorganic ions. The preparation process is simple and the raw materials are widely available. It has broad application prospects in oil and gas field development and production enhancement. Detailed Implementation
