Description

Proppant and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a proppant and a preparation method thereof, belongs to the technical field of hydraulic fracturing, and particularly relates to a proppant suitable for the upper part of a hydraulic fracture and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Hydraulic fracture reformation is one of the core technologies for the economic and effective development of low-permeability ultra-low permeability and unconventional oil and gas fields. The proppant is a key material for ensuring high flow conductivity of hydraulic fracture, and the efficient filling of the proppant in the fracture is very important for ensuring the fracturing effect. In the fracturing modification construction process, fracturing fluid is injected into an underground reservoir layer under the conditions of high speed and high pressure to crack the reservoir layer, before the reservoir layer cracks are closed, the fracturing fluid with proppant enters the reservoir layer cracks and supports the cracks, oil and gas fluid is discharged through gaps between the proppant layers under the action of the surface pressure, and finally oil and gas exploitation is realized.
At present, the conventional proppants such as quartz sand, ceramsite and the like commonly used in the industry have higher apparent density which is generally 2.6-3.9g/cm3The high-viscosity fracturing fluid is required to be carried and conveyed, the gel breaking of the high-viscosity fracturing fluid is incomplete, and the high polymer in the high-viscosity fracturing fluid is adsorbed on the rock of a reservoir stratum to easily cause the damage to the reservoir stratum. And when the viscosity of the fracturing fluid is low, the conventional high-density proppant is difficult to suspend, so that the conveying is difficult, the proppant is easy to settle in cracks, and the effective supporting area of the cracks is small. In contrast, ultra low density proppants can be as low as 1.0-1.1g/cm due to density3The density of the proppant is basically equal to that of water, the minimum flow speed required by suspension conveying of the ultra-low density proppant is kept one order of magnitude lower than that of the conventional proppant, the proppant can be conveyed only by clean water or slickwater, the conveying and filling efficiency is high, the effective supporting area of the fracture is large, the problems of incomplete gel breaking and damage to the reservoir by high polymer adsorption do not exist in the clean water or slickwater, the damage of fracturing to the reservoir and artificial fractures can be obviously reduced, the adjustment of the flow conductivity of the fractures is facilitated, and the yield of oil gas is further adjusted. However, both conventional proppants and ultra-low density proppants have apparent densities greater than clear water (density of 1.000 g/cm)3) Or slick water (density of 0.960-1.005 g/cm)3) Proppant with apparent density higher than that of clean or slick water tends to settle within a few days after the pump is stopped and before the fracture closes, causing the upper part of the hydraulic fracture to be unsupported. Generally, the fracture height of a hydraulic fracture propped by a propping agent is less than 40% of the fracture height, the vast upper part of the hydraulic fracture cannot realize effective support, and the hydraulic fracture can be gradually closed under the action of rock closing pressure, so that an oil gas leakage channel is closed, and further the yield is reduced.
At present, no apparent density of < 1.00/cm has been found3The report of (1).
Disclosure of Invention

When inorganic mineral materials (such as kaolin, montmorillonite, attapulgite, hollow glass microspheres, fly ash, silica micropowder and bauxite) are compounded with organic polymer materials, the inorganic mineral materials are difficult to be effectively compounded with the organic polymer materials due to the difference of oleophylic and hydrophilic properties, and a high-performance proppant product is difficult to be prepared. The invention can effectively solve the problems by using the mixed powder material which is chemically modified.
In a preferred scheme of the invention, powder modification is carried out by using a chemical agent comprising a diselenide compound (such as 1, 2-di-n-hexyl diselenide and/or 1, 2-di-n-decyl diselenide), so that lipophilic modification on inorganic mineral materials can be effectively realized, and the structure of the inorganic mineral materials can be protected and higher strength can be kept. When the inorganic mineral material is subjected to oleophylic modification, a commonly used modifying agent such as a silane coupling agent and/or a titanate coupling agent and/or an organic aldehyde compound needs to be modified by using a modifying agent after etching the inorganic mineral material by using strong acid or strong base if the inorganic mineral material is to be effectively modified, but the strong acid or strong base etching can damage the structure of the low-inorganic mineral material and reduce the strength of the low-inorganic mineral material. When the diselenide compound is adopted for modification, the structures of the hollow glass microspheres and the coal ash powder are not obviously damaged, the risk can be effectively avoided, the compressive strength of the proppant is obviously improved, and the proppant with higher strength and better performance is more favorably obtained.

and (3) putting the granules obtained by granulation into a drying oven, drying at 90 ℃ for 20 minutes, solidifying at 200 ℃ for 10 minutes, taking out, cooling and sieving to obtain the proppant granules with 20-200 meshes.
The proppant provided in this comparative example was a proppant having an apparent density of 1.55g/cm3Volume density of 0.98g/cm3
Comparative example 3
The comparative example provides a hollow glass microsphere modified with potassium hydroxide and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, the method of preparation comprising the steps of:
2200g of hollow glass microspheres (apparent density of hollow glass microspheres is 0.35-0.60 g/cm) are put into a mixing granulator3The particle size distribution range is 5-45 μm, and the median particle size D5024 μm, the heat-resistant temperature is more than or equal to 500 ℃, and the compressive strength is 83-110MPa) is stirred for 1 minute at the speed of 1200 revolutions per minute;
adding 25g of dilute hydrochloric acid with the concentration of 10 percent by mass into a mixing granulator in 10 batches within 5 minutes (in the process of adding the dilute hydrochloric acid, the mixing granulator is kept stirring at the speed of 1200 rpm), then continuing to stir at the speed of 1200 rpm for 1 minute, then adding 30g of gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane aqueous solution with the concentration of 50 percent by mass into the granulator in 5 batches within 2 minutes (in the process of adding the gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane aqueous solution, the mixing granulator is kept stirring at the speed of 1200 rpm), then adding 20g of terephthalaldehyde ethanol solution with the concentration of 50 percent by mass into the granulator in 5 batches within 2 minutes (in the process of adding the terephthalaldehyde ethanol solution, the mixing granulator is kept stirring at the speed of 1200 rpm), and then continuing to stir at the speed of 1200 rpm for 1 minute; the material in the mixing granulator was taken out and put into an oven, activated and dried at 80 ℃ for 2 hours.
When the modified hollow glass microspheres are observed under a microscope of 40 times, about 50% of the hollow glass microspheres are broken.
The comparative example also provides a hollow glass microsphere modified by 1, 2-di-n-decyl diselenide, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
2100g of hollow glass microspheres (apparent density of the hollow glass microspheres is 0.35-0.60 g/cm) were put into a mixing granulator at one time3The particle size distribution range is 5-45 μm, and the median particle size D504 μm, the heat-resisting temperature is more than or equal to 500 ℃, and the compressive strength is 83-110MPa), and the mixture is uniformly stirred at the speed of 1200 r/min;
49.3g of 1, 2-di-n-decyldiselenium were added to the mixer-granulator in 10 portions over 5 minutes (during the addition of 1, 2-di-n-decyldiselenium, the mixer-granulator was kept under stirring at 1200 rpm), after which stirring was continued at 1200 rpm for 1 minute; the material in the mixing granulator was taken out and put into an oven, activated and dried at 85 ℃ for 2.5 hours.
The modified hollow glass microsphere is observed under a microscope of 40 times, and the breaking proportion of the hollow glass microsphere is less than 5 percent and is far lower than the breaking proportion of the hollow glass microsphere modified by potassium hydroxide and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in the modification process provided by the comparative example.
Therefore, the strength of the hollow glass microspheres is reduced by modifying the hollow glass microspheres by potassium hydroxide and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and if the hollow glass microspheres modified by potassium hydroxide and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane are used as the raw materials of the proppant, the compression resistance of the proppant is not facilitated. In addition, if the hollow glass microspheres modified by potassium hydroxide and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane are used as the raw material of the proppant, the density of the proppant is increased due to the breakage of the hollow glass microspheres, which is one of the reasons why the density of the proppant in comparative example 2 is much higher than that of the proppant provided in examples 1 to 5.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002002422640000121
The proppant products provided in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-2 above were subjected to performance tests, the results of which are shown in table 1.
The test of roundness/sphericity and breakage rate is referred to the fracturing propping agent and performance index and test recommendation method in accordance with the oil and gas industry standard SY/T5108-2006 of the people's republic of China.
For the laying concentration is 0.98g/cm2The procedure for testing the compressive deformation amount of the proppant pack at 35MPa and 52MPa is as follows:
weighing a certain weight of proppant by using a balance with an induction quantity of 0.01g, and putting the proppant into a crushing room (the diameter is 50.8mm) recommended by SY/T5108-2006 fracturing proppant and performance index and test recommendation method, so that the filling concentration of the proppant is 0.98g/cm2The initial height of the filling layer is 14.38mm, a piston is placed and rotated by 180 degrees, and the crushing chamber containing the sample is placed on the table surface of a press; and (3) uniformly applying a preset load (35MPa or 52MPa) to the pressurized crushing chamber for 120s at a constant loading time of 60 s. The pressure head of the press has the functions of load control and test and displacement control and test, wherein the load control and measurement precision is 0.01MPa, and the displacement control and measurement precision is 0.01 mm; and when the load is 0.70MPa, the displacement indication of the pressure head is automatically cleared, namely, the deformation quantity counting is started from the moment when the load reaches 0.7MPa, and when the load is stabilized for 120s, the displacement indication of the pressure head is the deformation quantity of the proppant filling layer. The instrument used in the test process is a press (model number is DYZ-300) produced by Jinan general electromechanical technology Limited.
As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the apparent densities of the proppants provided in examples 1-5 and comparative example 1 were each < 1.00g/cm3The volume density is less than 0.40g/cm3All can be suspended in clear water or slick water. However, the proppant provided in examples 1-5 has a significantly better roundness/sphericity than the proppant provided in comparative example 1, and the proppant provided in examples 1-5 has a significantly lower fracture rate and proppant pack deformation amount than the proppant provided in comparative example 1. The hydraulic fracture conductivity with proppant propping is the permeability (K) at the reservoir closure pressuref) And fracture support width: (Wf) It can be seen that, under the condition that the density of the proppant is close and the packing concentration is consistent, the smaller the deformation amount of the proppant packing layer is, the larger the fracture propping gap width is, the higher the fracture conductivity is, and therefore, the proppant provided in examples 1 to 5 is beneficial to maintaining the higher fracture conductivity.
As can be seen from the results in table 1, the proppant provided in comparative example 1, in which the first powder material and the second powder material are not modified, has a plurality of properties significantly lower than those of the proppants provided in examples 1 to 5, which are not favorable for maintaining the upper part of the hydraulic fracture in an open state, maintaining the drainage channel of the oil gas, and increasing the oil gas yield.
As can be seen from table 1 and comparative example 3, the proppant provided in comparative example 2 has a fracture in its structure due to modification of hollow glass microspheres with hydrochloric acid, gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and terephthalaldehyde during its preparation, resulting in a much higher fracture rate and a much higher amount of filler deformation than those provided in examples 1 to 5 modified with diselenide compounds.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0002002422640000131
In addition, the proppants provided in examples 1 to 5 were placed in an oven at 135 ℃ and heated for 30 days, and then were subjected to the fracture rate and compression deformation amount tests again, and the results are shown in table 2. The results in table 2 show that the proppants provided in examples 1-5 still maintain good performance indexes after long-term high-temperature damage.
