The present invention discloses a
seawater-based
fracturing fluid and a preparation method thereof. 100 parts of the
fracturing fluid comprises, by weight, 0.3-0.8 part of a thickener, 0.1-0.6 part of a cross-linking agent, 0.05-0.1 part of an
oxygen scavenger, 0.02-0.05 part of a tackifying auxiliary agent, 0.05-0.2 part of gel breaker, and the balance or part of
seawater, wherein the thickener modified
polyacrylamide is formed by carrying out copolymerization on
acrylamide, a hydrophobically modified
monomer and a
sulfonate, the hydrophobically modified
monomer is dodecyl
alkyl halide, and the cross-linking agent is an organic
zirconium cross-linking agent or an organic
titanium-
zirconium composite cross-linking agent. According to the present invention, with the
seawater-based
fracturing fluid and the preparation method thereof, the technical problems of being incapable of continuously mixing, insufficient tackifying performance, poor
salt resistance and poor shearing resistance of the seawater-based fracturing fluid in the prior art are solved; and the seawater-based fracturing fluid with characteristics of good tackifying,
strong salt resistance, strong shearing resistance and
continuous mixing and suitable for offshore oil fields is provided.
