Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field flowback fluid treatment, in particular to oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid treatment equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the oil and gas extraction process, a mixture known as "flowback fluid" is produced. This is the liquid containing solid matter that flows back from the borehole after the fracturing operation. Its main sources include wastewater from well flushing operations before and after construction and waste fluids after the fracturing project. This wastewater primarily contains guar gum, preservatives, breakers, crude oil, and other additives. It is characterized by high water consumption, large pollutant emissions, and a complex composition.

[0003] The primary challenge facing current oil and gas field flowback treatment equipment is its insufficient filtration capacity. This often makes it difficult to effectively treat the complex suspended matter and minute impurities in the flowback fluid, resulting in treated wastewater failing to achieve the desired cleanliness level. For example, suspended matter such as solid particles, colloids, and incompletely decomposed additives not only affects water quality but can also negatively impact subsequent treatment processes. Therefore, improving the filtration efficiency of existing equipment and developing more advanced technologies and materials are key to addressing the flowback treatment challenges in my country's oil and gas pipeline networks.

After being treated by specific physical or chemical methods, the suspended matter in the return liquid can be aggregated into larger flocs, which is convenient for subsequent filtration treatment, thereby greatly improving the removal efficiency of the suspended matter.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the filtration structure 3 includes a circulation pump 31 and a filter cartridge 34 connected to the circulation pump 31.
