Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas field fracturing fluid technology, specifically relating to a double-tailed hydrophobic monomer and its preparation method, a polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide emulsion, and a fracturing fluid. Background Technology
[0002] Synthetic polymers and natural polymers are the two main types of polymers used for reservoir fracturing. Synthetic polymers with added crosslinking agents are suitable for high temperatures and a wide pH range. While natural polymers remain stable at high temperatures and high salinity, they are expensive and susceptible to bacterial degradation. Graft copolymers of natural polysaccharides and synthetic copolymers can be used to improve the physical properties of polymers; pregelatinized starch, etherified starch, and grafted starch are all used as additives. Graft copolymers of natural and synthetic polymers have a wide range of applications because they combine the common properties of both natural and synthetic polymers within a single molecular chain. Graft copolymerization is an effective method for modifying the structure of natural and synthetic copolymers, making them suitable for enhanced oil recovery technologies in oil and gas fields. Attaching a rigid polysaccharide backbone to the polyacrylamide molecular chain can give the graft copolymer good thermal stability and shear resistance.
[0003] CN105521350A discloses a low-residue starch fracturing fluid, the composition and weight percentage of which are: thickener: 2%-4%, clay stabilizer: 0.5%-2%, temperature stabilizer: 0.1%-0.5%, drainage aid: 0.1%-1%, bactericide: 0.1%-0.3%, pH adjuster: 0.1%-0.3%, and the balance being water. CN110184043A discloses a fast-dissolving, residue-free modified cellulose fracturing fluid and its preparation method. The fracturing fluid is composed of the following components in parts by weight: MH-028 modified cellulose with acid thickener for fracturing (0.2-0.6 parts by weight); MH-031 aminotriethanol-based stabilizer for fracturing (0.1-0.4 parts by weight); MH-016 flow-out aid for fracturing and acidizing (0.2-0.6 parts by weight); MH-032 modified cellulose with hydroxyzirconium crosslinking agent for fracturing (0.2-0.5 parts by weight); MH-030 glycolic acid-based crosslinking accelerator (0.2-0.7 parts by weight); ammonium persulfate (0.003-0.001 parts by weight); and water (99.1-97.2 parts by weight). The above technology uses modified natural polymer fracturing fluids, which are more expensive and less damaging to reservoirs than synthetic polymer fracturing fluids.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a low-cost, low-residue, and low-damage fracturing fluid for unconventional oil and gas reservoir stimulation. This would reduce the cost of fracturing fluid, minimize its damage to unconventional reservoirs, and enhance the post-fracturing production increase and stabilization effect.

[0024] In the polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide emulsion of the present invention, the role of the double-tailed hydrophobic monomer is to enhance the hydrophobic association of the drag-reducing agent in water, enhance the network structure to achieve a good thickening effect, and at the same time, the quaternary ammonium salt group in the double-tailed hydrophobic monomer also has certain anti-swelling and bactericidal effects.
[0025] This invention modifies polyacrylamide with polysaccharides to prepare low-cost, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide water-in-water emulsion drag reducers. Therefore, there is a great demand for this product in fracturing stimulation. It can not only meet the performance requirements of fracturing fluid in fracturing stimulation, but also reduce the damage of fracturing fluid to unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, thereby achieving the goal of increasing and stabilizing the production of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.

[0039] Emulsion drag reducers prepared by dispersion polymerization are beneficial for improving the dissolution rate of polymers in water, meeting the requirements of large-volume on-site construction. These drag reducers not only exhibit good solubility and dispersion in clean water and low-concentration brine, but also dissolve rapidly in high-mineralized produced water systems, while demonstrating excellent drag reduction performance. Compared to other polymerization methods, dispersion polymerization combines the advantages of simple and convenient aqueous solution polymerization with the characteristics of fast reaction rate and high relative molecular mass of products from reverse emulsion polymerization. The resulting polymer emulsion has good fluidity, is free of lumpy or particulate insoluble matter, and dissolves quickly. It does not require large dissolving equipment and can be directly injected into pipelines, facilitating automated operation and accurate metering, saving resources and manpower. It produces no harmful organic solvents, eliminating secondary environmental pollution. This technology significantly overcomes many problems associated with traditional products and processes, contributing to environmental protection and energy conservation, and effectively addressing heat dissipation issues. It is applicable to various monomers and can prepare monodisperse polymer particles of different particle sizes.

[0049] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0050] This invention employs dispersion polymerization to copolymerize a bi-tailed hydrophobic monomer with a water-soluble monomer and the functional monomer N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide. Through the association between hydrophobic groups, a reversible physical "crosslinking" is formed, creating a large molecular spatial network structure. This results in a polymer solution exhibiting high viscosity, good temperature and salt resistance, and shear resistance even at lower concentrations. The bi-tailed hydrophobic monomer has two hydrophobic chains, leading to stronger hydrophobic association in aqueous solutions after copolymerization, enhancing thickening and drag reduction / sand-carrying effects. The N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide functional monomer links the two long polymer chains, strengthening the spatial network structure and improving thickening. The bisquaternary ammonium salt groups of the bi-tailed hydrophobic monomer and the propanesulfonate groups (salt-resistant groups) of sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate give the polyacrylamide emulsion good salt resistance, as well as some anti-swelling and bactericidal effects. Polysaccharides are used to modify the polyacrylamide copolymer, giving it good shear resistance, temperature resistance, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Attached Figure Description

The test results of its viscosity and drag reduction rate, surface tension, linear expansion rate, residue content and core damage rate are as follows: Figures 6-9 As shown.
[0098] The results showed that when the dosage of polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide emulsion 1 was 0.05-0.6%, the fracturing fluid viscosity was between 9-102 mPa·s, and adjusting the polymer dosage could achieve increased fracturing fluid viscosity. When the dosage of drag reducer 1 was 0.1% (denoted as 0.1% polymer-doped fracturing fluid, the same below), the drag reduction rate of the fracturing fluid was 76.1%; the drag reduction rate of fracturing fluids with 0.05-0.6% polymer dosage was all >70%, demonstrating good drag reduction effect.

At this point, the viscosity of the solution is close to that of water, between 1-2 mPa·s. The surface tension of the 0.05-0.6% polymer fracturing fluid breaker is less than 28 mN / m, meeting the requirement for low surface tension in fracturing fluids. The linear expansion rate of the 0.4% fracturing fluid breaker on tight sandstone is 0.97%, while that of water is 7.08%.

[0124] Comparative Example 4
[0125] This comparative example provides a polyacrylamide emulsion and a fracturing fluid prepared therefrom; wherein, the preparation method of the polyacrylamide emulsion is the same as that of Example 5, except that no double-tailed hydrophobic monomer is added;
[0126] The fracturing fluid was prepared in the same way as in Example 9, except that the polyacrylamide emulsion prepared in this comparative example was used instead of the polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide emulsion 1.
[0127] The core damage rate, residue content, linear expansion rate, drag reduction rate, biodegradability, and compatibility with formation water of the fracturing fluids of Examples 9-14 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0128] Table 1 Performance test results of fracturing fluid
[0129]
[0130]
[0131] The results showed that the residual content of the fracturing fluids in Examples 9-14 was all <100 mg / L, the core damage rate to tight sandstone was <10%, the surface tension was <28 mN / m, the swelling prevention rate was greater than 80%, and no precipitation occurred with formation water, demonstrating low damage characteristics to tight sandstone reservoirs. The viscosity retention rate at 30000 mg / L NaCl + 3000 mg / L CaCl2 was >50%, and the viscosity retention rate was 170 s. -1 The viscosity retention rate at 120℃ for 1 hour was >50%, demonstrating good salt resistance, temperature resistance, and shear resistance. After adding 0.1g of α-starch ether and allowing it to stand at 60℃ for 5 minutes, the viscosity retention rate of Examples 9-14 was all below 40%. In contrast, the viscosity retention rate of Comparative Examples 1-3 was all greater than 98%, indicating that the polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide drag reducer has better biodegradability than the unmodified polyacrylamide drag reducer, and can reduce the amount of breaker used during on-site injection. The residue content and damage to tight sandstone in Comparative Examples 1-3 were greater than those in Examples 9-14, indicating that the polysaccharide-modified polyacrylamide drag reducer and fracturing fluid are low-damage fracturing fluids. The surface tension and core damage rate of Comparative Example 4 were higher than those in Examples 9-14, indicating that the introduction of the dual-tailed hydrophobic monomer significantly reduced the core damage rate.
[0132] The fracturing fluids in Examples 9-14 exhibit superior temperature, salt, and shear resistance compared to Comparative Examples 1-4. They also effectively address the difficulty of adding large-volume powder drag-reducing agents during on-site preparation, as seen in Comparative Example 1. Furthermore, they eliminate the need for bulky dissolving equipment, thus saving costs. Compared to Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the fracturing fluids of this invention do not contain suspending agents or oil phases, further reducing costs. Compared to Comparative Example 4, the introduction of dual-tailed hydrophobic monomers significantly reduces reservoir damage.
