Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing technology, and in particular to a device for testing the shear strength of inorganic proppant. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic fracturing refers to the technique of using high closure pressure to fracture low-permeability oil and gas wells, creating highly conductive channels for oil and gas. Proppant is a key material in fracturing operations. Quartz sand proppant has advantages such as lower density, wider distribution, and lower price compared to ceramic proppant, making it the best proppant choice for shallow well production. It holds the largest market share among proppant types and is also a hot research topic.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN112342011A discloses a pressure-resistant quartz sand proppant for fracturing and its production method. First, at a temperature of 10℃ to 50℃, the required amount of washed quartz sand, sodium silicate, epoxy resin, and sodium hydroxide are added under stirring, and the reaction time is 0.3 min to 2 min. Next, hexamethylenetetramine and ammonium chloride are added under stirring, and the reaction time is 0.3 min to 2 min. Then, calcium stearate is added, and the reaction time is 0.3 min to 1 min. Then, under continued stirring, the temperature is 95℃ to 120℃, and the reaction time is 30 min to 60 min to obtain the quartz sand proppant for fracturing.

[0004] In practical applications, quartz sand proppant not only needs to withstand the pressure at the bottom layer of fractures, but it also experiences shear stress during its mixing with fracturing fluid and injection into the fracture layer. However, existing technologies typically do not provide shear strength data for quartz sand proppant, making it impossible to accurately and comprehensively evaluate its overall performance.

[0061] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the inorganic proppant shear strength detection device further comprises a shearing assembly 600. The shearing assembly 600 has a support plate 610, a hydraulic oil cylinder 620 and a shearing rod 630. The support plate 610 is in the shape of an inverted "L" as a whole, and is located on the other side of the test base plate 300; the support plate 610 is connected with the test base plate 300 and the support base 100 at the same time, so as to improve the stability of the support base 100; the top of the support plate 610 is higher than the top of the test base plate 300.

In this embodiment, the controller (not shown in the figure) controls the piston rod 621 to move downward, so that when the shearing blade 631 of the shearing rod 630 contacts the quartz sand proppant particles placed between the left and right slider bodies 420 and 520, the pressure sensor 622 records the change of the pressure signal during the test, and after the controller processes, the corresponding pressure value can be used as the shear strength test result of the quartz sand proppant particles.

[0062] As Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the inorganic proppant shear strength detection device further comprises an amplification observation assembly 700. The amplification observation assembly 700 is located on one side of the test base plate 300 where the left and right support slider assemblies 400 and 500 are located; the amplification observation assembly 700 has a magnifying glass 710 and a universal adjusting support 720; one end of the universal adjusting support 720 is connected with the magnifying glass 710, and the other end of the universal adjusting support 720 is connected with the magnifying glass 710; the magnification of the magnifying glass 710 can be selected according to requirements, such as 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, etc. In this embodiment, the relative positions of the left and right slider bodies 420 and 520, the shearing blade 631 and the quartz sand proppant particles can be observed through the magnifying glass 710.

[0063] Based on the inorganic proppant shear strength detection device described above, the quartz sand proppant shear strength detection process comprises the following steps:

[0064] Step S1, take the paper with thickness of 0.05-0.1 μm and size of A4, and cut it into narrow strips 800 with width of about 2-10 mm; the number of narrow strips 800 can be selected according to requirements;

[0065] Step S2, along the length direction of narrow strip 800, use the sheet with thickness of 0.05-0.1 μm or the thin needle with diameter of 0.05-0.1 μm to dip epoxy adhesive resin and then scratch on narrow strip 800 to form a straight-line resin adhesive band with thickness of about 0.01-0.08 μm, then sprinkle the quartz sand proppant to be tested on narrow strip 800, and wait for the epoxy resin to completely solidify;

[0066] Step S3, remove the quartz sand proppant on narrow strip 800 which is not adhered by the epoxy adhesive resin, and observe the fixing condition of each quartz sand proppant particle adhered on the straight-line resin adhesive band one by one through magnifying glass 710; select the quartz sand proppant particle with the depth of invasion into the straight-line resin adhesive band less than half of the particle size as the target to be tested one by one; the adjacent targets are spaced apart by 10-50 mm to form a band of quartz sand proppant particles distributed at intervals;

[0067] Step S4, rotate left handle 450 and right handle 550 to move left slider body 420 and right slider body 520, and observe the movement process through magnifying glass 810 so that the distance between the lower edge of left upper support slope 421 and vertical mark line 310 and the distance between the lower edge of right upper support slope 521 and vertical mark line 310 are substantially the same, and the distance between the lower edge of left upper support slope 421 and the lower edge of right upper support slope 521 is less than the particle size of the target to be tested; take a quartz sand proppant particle as the center, fold narrow strip 800 into V shape, and then place narrow strip 800 on left slider body 420 and right slider body 520, and observe and adjust through magnifying glass 810 so that the quartz sand proppant particle is located at the position corresponding to the intersection point of vertical mark line 310 and horizontal mark line 340, and narrow strip 800 is attached to left upper support slope 421 and right upper support slope 521;

[0068] Step S5, control the working of hydraulic cylinder 620 by controller to drive piston rod 621 and shearing rod 630 to move, so that shearing blade 631 stops moving after contacting the top of quartz sand proppant particle, and observe the relative positions of the contact point of shearing blade 631 and quartz sand proppant particle, the contact point of quartz sand proppant particle and left upper support slope 421, and the contact point of quartz sand proppant particle and right upper support slope 521 through magnifying glass 710 to form a three-point shearing structure; if necessary, adjust the position of quartz sand proppant particle;

[0069] Step S6, the detection value of the pressure sensor 622 is zeroed, and then the hydraulic cylinder 620 is controlled by the controller to work again, the change of the pressure value of the quartz sand proppant particles under the shearing action of the shearing blade 631 is detected, until the quartz sand proppant particles are broken; the maximum pressure value detected is taken as the shear strength of the quartz sand proppant particles.

[0070] Step S7, repeat the above steps until the shear strength of each quartz sand proppant particle as the target to be tested on all narrow bands 800 is obtained, and the average value is taken as the final shear strength.

[0071] The embodiment can realize the test of the shear strength of the quartz sand proppant particles with a particle size of 6 mesh to 140 mesh, and perfect the comprehensive performance evaluation data of the quartz sand proppant. Meanwhile, in the embodiment, considering the problem of small particle size of the quartz sand proppant particles and the tedious sampling operation, the multiple quartz sand proppant particles are collected by using the epoxy adhesive resin adhesion mode, which can greatly improve the test efficiency; furthermore, since the quartz sand proppant particles are adhered on the narrow band, and then the narrow band and the quartz sand proppant particles are placed together and fixed at the detection position, the rolling phenomenon of the quartz sand proppant particles can be avoided.
