Propping agent, and preparation method therefor and use thereof

By adopting a proppant with a double-layer core-shell structure, the degradable polymer layer is used to show double-sparking characteristics under fracturing conditions, which solves the problem that existing proppants are difficult to disperse in water and easily adsorb pollutants on the surface, and achieves efficient fracturing construction and oil and gas production.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing proppant is difficult to disperse in water, resulting in difficulty in pumping and increasing risk of sand blockage during fracturing construction. At the same time, its surface is prone to adsorbing heavy components in crude oil and impurities in water, resulting in an increase in seepage resistance and affecting the oil and gas production effect.

Method used

Propants using a bilayer core-shell structure include a proppant core and a double spore modified layer bound to the core surface by chemical bonding, and a degradable polymer layer coated on the surface of the double spore modified layer. The degradable polymer layer is obtained by polymerization of catechol compounds and salt-resistant acrylate monomers, which can rapidly degrade under fracturing conditions and exhibit double-spark characteristics.

Benefits of technology

The proppant is hydrophilic and easy to disperse on the ground, which is conducive to fracturing construction and is double-sparking on the underground surface, reducing the flow resistance of the fluid in the diversion channel, improving the diversion capacity of the cracks, reducing the risk of sand blockage, and ensuring the normal production of oil and gas.

Abstract

A propping agent, and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The propping agent has a double-layer core-shell structure and comprises a propping agent inner core, an amphiphobic modifiied layer bonded to the surface of the propping agent inner core via a chemical bond, and a degradable polymer layer coating the surface of the amphiphobic modified layer, wherein polymerizable monomers of the degradable polymer layer comprise a catechol compound and a salt-resistant acrylate monomer. The propping agent is hydrophilic and easily dispersed on the ground, which is beneficial to fracturing construction, and same is amphiphobic on the underground surface, and thus can increase the long-term flow guide capacity of propped fracture.
