Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil and gas field waste liquid treatment, especially relates to a kind of ozone nanometer gas float skid-mounted device for treating oil and gas field fracturing flowback fluid. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the exhaustion of conventional oil and gas resources, the development of unconventional oil and gas has moved from the background to the forefront, and hydraulic fracturing is an important measure for increasing production in unconventional reservoirs. Currently, the main shale gas fracturing fluids include slickwater fracturing fluid, synthetic polymer-based fracturing fluid and guar gum-based fracturing fluid. The main organic additives include friction reducers, synthetic polymers, surfactants, clay stabilizers and bactericides, etc. During the flowback process, a large amount of rock debris, silt, bacteria, heavy metals and other substances are carried out from the formation, which are complex in composition, high in viscosity, strong in stability, high in salinity and suspended solids content, and very difficult to treat. If a large amount of fracturing flowback fluid is discharged without effective treatment, it will cause serious environmental pollution and ecological damage.

[0003] Currently, there are three main disposal methods for fracturing flowback fluid generated in oil and gas fields: reinjection into formation, discharge after treatment, and resource utilization (reuse). Reinjection into formation is the main disposal method for most flowback wastewater at present, but it is not convenient for environmental control, only temporarily controls pollution, does not fundamentally eliminate pollution, and may have more environmental safety hazards. The number of reinjection wells is decreasing year by year. Discharge after treatment is not practical because municipal wastewater treatment plants generally cannot remove total dissolved solids, high-salinity wastewater and difficult-to-degrade organic matter. Resource utilization (reuse) is to remove suspended solids, calcium and magnesium ions, bacteria and other pollutants for the preparation of fracturing fluid, achieve comprehensive utilization of water resources, eliminate environmental safety hazards, and treat flowback fluid on site and use it locally. In summary, reinjection after treatment has certain environmental risks, discharge after treatment is too expensive, and liquid preparation after treatment is the most economical and environmentally friendly fracturing fluid treatment and disposal method at present.
