Description

High temperature aqueous-based zirconium fracturing fluid and purposes
Invention field
The present invention relates to cross-linked composition and their purposes in field use, such as infiltration area waterfrac treatment and obstruction based on zirconium.
Background of invention
The technology that is called as waterfrac treatment can make from the oil and natural gas of missile silo (stratum) output to be increased production, the viscous fluid composition (fracturing liquid) that wherein comprises suspended prop (for example sandstone, alumina) is via being introduced in oil well or the gasser with certain flow and pressure such as conduits such as pipeline or sleeve pipes, and described pressure can produce, reopen and/or prolong the crack in oil-containing or gas-bearing formation.Propping agent is carried in the crack via fluid composition, and prevents that the stratum is closed behind release of pressure.The fluid viscosity limit fluid composition of described composition is leaked in the stratum.Fluid viscosity also makes propping agent to be suspended in during frac job in the described composition.Usually linking agent such as boric acid ester, titanic acid ester or zirconate are incorporated in the described fluid composition with control viscosity.
Generally speaking, oil well by pressure break after, reduce to gather in output and become no longer before the economy, from this oil well, only can exploit out the recverable oil of less than 1/3rd.The oil production rate that raising is gathered from such stratum usually relates to be attempted with driving liquid displacement residual crude oil, and described driving liquid is for example gas, water, salt solution, steam, polymers soln, foam or micellar solution.It is desirable to, this type of technology (often being called as technology of reservoir sweep) makes the pool with suitable degree of depth be forced to become recovery well; Yet it is usually really not so in the practice.Tryphine is normally heterogeneous, and the perviousness of some of them part is higher than other parts.Therefore, groove frequently occurs, and make to drive liquid and preferentially flow into oil-poor infiltration area (being called as weak zone), rather than flow into and make the profitable that part of area that comprises sufficient oil of oil producing operation.
The oil recovery difficulty that produces owing to weak zone can overcome in the following manner: polymkeric substance with crosslinked with the condition that forms gel under, the aqueous solution of organic polymer and linking agent is injected in the stratum, thereby reduces the stratum driving the perviousness of liquid (gas, water etc.).With some based on the compound crosslink of aluminium, titanium, zirconium and boron, can be used for during these displacement of reservoir oils use based on polysaccharide or based on the fluid of the polyacrylamide of partial hydrolysis.
No matter be used for the pressure break stratum or be used to reduce the perviousness of subterranean formation zone, nowadays crosslinked fluid or gel just are being used in the hotter and darker well under all temps and the pH value condition, and wherein the cross-linked speed with known cross-linked composition may be unacceptable.
The zirconium complex of the trolamine of commercially available acquisition can be all not crosslinked with suitable speed to all organic polymers, for example too fast crosslinked, perhaps under high pH condition and/or about 275 (135 ℃) and higher temperature, they can not keep enough viscosity in cross-linked fluids, cause viscosity significantly to descend because of shearing deterioration, described viscosity degradation also can cause sand fallout.Sand fallout was meant before fluid arrives the breaking zone, improved the situation that the sandy soil (upholder) that cause are deposited on wellbore bottom because of cross-linked fluids lacks viscosity.
United States Patent (USP) 4,801,389 disclose the fracturing liquid of being made up of natural guar gum that can use down at high temperature (250 to 325,121 ℃ to 163 ℃).Use supercarbonate that fluidic pH is controlled at 8 to 10, and described fluid also comprise zirconium crosslink agent such as zirconium lactate, Sulfothiorine, salt solution (KCl).Use supercarbonate to present acceptable viscosity (121 ℃ (250) and 170sec -1Down, viscosity was 113cp in 1 hour).By contrast, use yellow soda ash to present relatively poor viscosity (23cp) under the same conditions.

Need under high temperature (〉=275,135 ℃), to work and when using hydroxypropylguar gum, under these temperature, can provide the fracturing liquid of enough viscosity.HPG is the solvatable polysaccharide of commercially available acquisition.Compare with natural guar gum, during HPG was more soluble in water, this can farthest reduce the damage to the stratum.HPG also has hydration rate faster, and this can farthest reduce the formation of agglomerate when being dissolved in the water.Yet,, obtain unacceptable low viscosity when under certain condition when at high temperature using zirconium crosslink agent to make HPG crosslinked.

The result
Table 1 and 2 provides the results of property of comparing embodiment of the present invention and embodiment.Table 1 and 2 has been listed zirconium crosslink agent type, guar gum type and the concentration among each comparing embodiment of the present invention and the embodiment, used salt solution, organic acid (if you are using), temperature, pH and the viscosity results that records.Guar gum concentration is that unit measures with pptg (pound/1000 gallons), and is weight % unit in the bracket." Zr carrying capacity " is meant that be the zirconium amount that unit adds by described fracturing liquid gross weight with part each 1,000,000 parts (ppm).With designated time intervals, be that unit mensuration viscosity is measured with centipoise (cp).If the crosslinked base gel of zirconium keeps acceptable viscosity (for example greater than 100cp) 90 minutes, then described gel work is good.If viscosity is less than 100cp after 90 minutes, if perhaps viscosity is classified "-" ((before 90 minutes) viscosity is crossed low so that the gel deterioration during the expression measurement) as, then the crosslinked gel of zirconium is considered to " defective ".Alternatively, if fracturing liquid gelling before measuring viscosity (promptly being described as " gelling in blender " in the table), then described fracturing liquid is defective.
Comparative Example A An 1 and A2 are the base gels crosslinked with zirconium-lactic acid salt, and it also is called as fracturing liquid, can adopt United States Patent (USP) 4,801, and the condition of describing in 389 makes.Described fracturing liquid has initial high viscosity, but after 10 minutes, viscosity is lower than desirable value, and becomes defective less than 20 minutes fracturing liquids.Fracturing liquid among Comparative Example A An 1 and the A2 is defective down at 275 °F (135 ℃) and 340 °F (171 ℃) respectively.
According to United States Patent (USP) 6,737,386 preparations but be to use HPG rather than natural guar gum be used for Comparative Examples B with the crosslinked base gel of zirconium-lactic acid salt.Therefore the gelling immediately of described fracturing liquid does not have viscosity and measures.Surprisingly, when natural gel is derived guar gum HPG when substituting, United States Patent (USP) 4,801, the condition that is fit to natural gel in 389 or 6,737,386 is invalid.
Use natural guar gum to substitute HPG, that uses that condition of the present invention makes is used for comparing embodiment E with the crosslinked base gel of zirconium-lactic acid salt.Surprisingly, described cross-linked composition gelling immediately.
Comparing embodiment C1 and C2 be use CMHPG and HPG to make respectively and with the alkanolamine zirconate crosslinked to make of the fracturing fluid base gel.At high temperature, the CMHPG-fluid can be worked during 90 minutes well, but the HPG-fluid showed low viscosity in the time of 10 minutes, and defective down at 250 °F.Therefore, when HPG rather than CMHPG are used in hope, if or can't obtain CMHPG the time, the condition that is fit to CMHPG always can not be successfully used to HPG.
Comparing embodiment D1 and D2 be use CMHPG and HPG to make respectively and with the trolamine zirconate crosslinked to make of the fracturing fluid base gel.At high temperature, the CMHPG-fluid can be worked during 60 minutes well, but the HPG-fluid is defective down at 275 °F (135 ℃) after 10 minutes.Equally, these comparing embodiments show that HPG and CMHPG are not interchangeable in fracturing liquid.
Fracturing liquid in the embodiment of the invention 1 to 8 can use HPG and zirconium-lactylate salt, zirconium-lactic acid ammonium salt and alkanolamine zirconate, is making under the temperature of 275 to 340 (135 ℃ to 171 ℃).Embodiment 1 to 8 is showing desired viscosity (viscosity is greater than 100cp after 90 minutes) during 90 minutes, and does not show the premature deterioration that is caused by shearing that is shown in the comparing embodiment of using HPG.Use HPG in fracturing liquid of the present invention, viscosity and viscosity retentivity in time is suitable each other under test high temperature, and suitable with the comparing embodiment of employing CMHPG in the fracturing liquid that uses the trolamine zirconate.
Therefore show, comprise zirconium crosslink agent, salt solution (KCl), stablizer, non-retardance ealkaline buffer (yellow soda ash), acid and the fracturing liquid of the present invention that has less than the temperature in 9 pH and 275 to 340 (135 ℃ to 171 ℃) scopes can be used as hydrofrac fluid.These fracturing liquids can be used in the pressure break or blocking field of high temperature deep well, and wherein HPG is used main guar gum.
