Description

Technical Field

[0002] Fracturing fluid is an important processing agent in oil and gas field development, mainly used to increase the production of oil and gas wells. During fracturing, the fracturing fluid needs to withstand high temperature and high salinity environments to ensure its effectiveness and durability. The role of thickener is to ensure that the fracturing fluid maintains good performance under high temperature and high salinity conditions. Traditional fracturing fluid thickeners often fail to maintain good performance under high temperature or high salinity conditions, which limits their application in oil and gas field development.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The present invention discloses a salt- and temperature-resistant water-based thickener for fracturing fluid, which introduces phenyl ether groups, sulfonic acid groups and fluorene groups into polyacrylamide. This not only improves the crosslinking ability and structural stability of the polymer under high temperature environment and enhances its temperature resistance, but also inhibits the destruction of the polymer network structure by sodium ions and calcium ions, thereby improving its salt resistance.

[0027] A salt- and temperature-resistant water-based thickener for fracturing fluid was prepared. First, diformylfluorenone was synthesized from 2,7-dibromo-9-fluorenone and 4-formylphenylboronic acid. Diformylfluorenone reacted with 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether to obtain diaminophenyl ether fluorenone. Diaminophenyl ether fluorenone reacted with phenol under taurine catalysis to generate dihydroxy-diaminophenyl ether fluoren. Dihydroxy-diaminophenyl ether fluoren reacted with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde to obtain tetrahydroxyphenyl ether fluoren. Diethanolamine reacted with ethyl acrylate to generate ethyl dihydroxyethylaminopropionate. Ethyl dihydroxyethylaminopropionate reacted with tetrahydroxyphenyl ether fluoren to obtain intermediate 1. Maleic anhydride was activated under p-toluenesulfonic acid catalysis to enhance the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon. The terminal hydroxyl group in intermediate 1 underwent nucleophilic addition with the carbonyl carbon to form an ester bond, resulting in a product containing terminal carboxyl and alkenyl groups. Intermediate product 2 is subjected to free radical polymerization with acrylic acid, acrylamide, and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid to obtain sulfonic acid-phenyl ether fluorene-based hyperbranched polyacrylamide, which is a salt- and temperature-resistant water-based thickener for fracturing fluids. The terminal carboxyl group enhances the hydrophilicity of the polymer, and the sulfonic acid group has electrostatic repulsion. When sodium and calcium ions are adsorbed on the polymer molecular chain, causing the molecular chain to curl, it can offset part of the electrostatic shielding effect of metal cations. Furthermore, the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the sulfonic acid group inhibits the hydrolysis of the amide group. The hyperbranched structure formed by polymerization can reduce molecular chain entanglement and improve conformational stability. The rigid conjugated structure of the fluorene group and the aromaticity of the phenyl ether chain work synergistically to improve the temperature resistance of the polymer, ensuring that the thickener still has stable and reliable working performance under conditions of large changes in salinity and temperature.
