Description

Wear-resistant propping agent compound and its component
Cross reference
The application is based on the U.S. Patent Application No. 15/342,826 submitted on November 3rd, 2016 and requires its priority, It is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to a kind of proppant compounds, and more particularly but without limitation, the present invention relates to one kind Wear-resistant propping agent compound for hydraulic fracturing.
Background technique
Hydraulic fracturing is clipped in impermeable geological structure in oil gas (oil and gas) production commonly used to obtain Carbon.The process is related to the fluid that injecting height pressurizes into pit shaft, usually contains water or another carrier, chemicals and branch Agent is supportted, this will lead to following rock rupture.Then the proppant in fluid stays in the crack of rock, and keeps crack spacious It opens, is collected so that following hydrocarbon be allowed to flow through crack and enter in pit shaft.
Currently usually using proppant (such as sand, ceramics of quartz sand, coated with resins, and being used in hydraulic fracturing Manufacturing the material of ceramics, such as bauxite) Lai Zengjia is from the production of hydrocarbons of subsurface formations.But all these proppants are being incited somebody to action They, which are pumped into, carries out all being easy to produce dust/particulate before pressure break in transport and processing in well.For example, when quartz sand is for pressing When splitting, abrasion can occur in quartz particles into pressing crack construction field process in transport and hit, and in quartz particles and hold Abrasion occurs between wall and hits.The abrasion and while impinging upon transfer and discharged material, greatly increase.It is passed in vanning, belt Give, blender load, from multiple sand-blasting machine operation release, from stinger release, from open fill port (open fill Port dust/particulate can be generated in the process by) spraying dust and other processing operations, have potential negative health effects and ring Border influences.Particularly, pneumatic unloading can generate high-caliber dust/particulate (dust/fines).
Dust/particulate is the small particulate matter that can be suspended in the air.This particulate matter can be naturally-produced, can be with It is artificial.The present invention relates to by using wear-resistant propping agent to limit dust/thin in transport, hydraulic fracturing and other application The generation of grain.Inhalable particles are one for the health and safety of the staff and other personnel that contact with dust/particulate Especially misgivings.These air particles have potentially hazardous since its deep penetration enters the ability of alveolar.Particularly, Display is long-term or excessively the inhalable crystalline silica of contact (such as quartz) can cause pneumoconiosis disease, commonly referred to as silicosis.
In dust/particulate classification, inhalable particles are sufficiently small to enter those of alveolar, and are generally included Diameter is 10 microns (micrometer) (or microns (micron)) or smaller particle.As particle size is brought down below 10 A possibility that micron, granular absorption is in alveolar, increases.Although it is 10 microns or smaller powder that the present invention, which can successfully inhibit diameter, Dirt/particulate (including diameter is 2.5 microns or smaller particulate), but the present invention may also suppress the particulate matter of other suspensions, Its size can bigger either sub-micron.As the medicine for being more fully understood inhalable suspended particulate influences and environment shadow It rings, the present invention will continue to for inhibiting dust/particulate in hydraulic fracturing and other application, because those aspects are in the reality in future It tramples and is understood that in managing.
As for current management environment, Occupational health and safety association, the U.S. (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)) be Department of Labor (U.S.Department of Labor) a mechanism, It is authorized by setting up and executing workplace standard to ensure the operating condition of safety and health.OSHA is in 29CFR The tolerable exposure limit (PEL) of many chemical substances is established in 1910.1000.OSHA is at present about inhalable silicon dioxide powder PEL of the dirt in general industry is found in the following contents: 1910.1000 table Z-3 and OSHA Technical Manual of 29CFR (OTM) part ii: the 1st chapter annex J, " sample of crystalline silica calculates (Sample Calculations for Crystalline Silica) ", including following formula, the equation 6 of the part III.K.2 from annex J:
PEL(mg/m3)=(10mg/m3The inhalable quartz of)/(2+%)
Therefore, for the dust containing 100% quartz, PEL is 10/ (100+2), or about 0.1mg/m3.Term " can Sucking quartz " includes the dust containing the quartz greater than 1%, and particle size is sufficiently small to reach the alveolar space in lung, or Its aerodynamic diameter of person is less than 10 μm.Dust exposure is expressed as granule density, and (such as million particles per cubic foots are empty Gas or mppcf) or gravity concentration (the particle units quality of every volumes of air, such as mg/m3).OSHA management organization is managed Rulemaking program comprising public opinion and comment.This management and political procedure can produce new or revision mark Standard needs time many years that could establish, finalizes a text and be published as standard.If as the OSHA on the 12nd of September in 2013 announces federation Indicated by the rule that (Federal Register) is proposed, PEL is down to 0.05 milligram of inhalable crystallization by the rule that OSHA is proposed Every cubic metres of air (the 0.05mg/m of silica3), then employer will be more difficult to for the control of silica exposure being lower than PEL (this is solved by the present invention).
When OSHA recognizes that its many PEL has been subjected to, and revising current PEL is one long-term complicated process. As such, OSHA suggests that employer considers using the alternative professional exposure limit (the i.e. exposure limit (REL) that NIOSH suggests With ACGIH TLV).It is practiced as optimal industrial hygiene, industrial hygienist federation, U.S. government (ACGIH) is a base In the tissue of member, it is dedicated to industrial hygiene and Occupational Health and Safety industry.ACGIH announces ACGIH occupation every year and exposes to the open air Magnitude guide (ACGIH Guide to Occupational Exposure Values) considers U.S.'s occupation exposure limit Standard source.As occupation in 2015 exposes included and OSHA 1910.1200 annotation table Z-3 of 29CFR in magnitude guide to the open air It is average for the time weights in 8 hours that may be inhaled crystalline silica mentioned in Mineral Dusts (Mineral Duses) (TWA) the ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) of work shift exposure is 0.025mg/m for alpha-quartz3.US Occupational Safety health Research institute (NIOSH) is U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (U.S.Department of Health and Human Services a part of the Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC) in).In addition to this, NIOSH is responsible for being studied, and root Suggestion is provided to the relevant sick and wounded prevention that works according to obtainable best science data.At present for in forty-hour week What the NIOSH that up to 10 hours working days relevant TWA is announced suggested exposes horizontal (REL) to the open air for as respirable dust Crystalline silica is 0.05mg/m3.Other than these mechanisms, U.S., external mechanism also assists in the mark for formulating workplace Quasi- and suggestion, including professional exposure limit Science committee (Sientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL)) and social casualty insurance occupational safety and health research institute (the Institut f ü r of Germany Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA)), it is directed to work The professional exposure limit of place chemicals provides suggestion for EU Committee, and with Australian work health and safety law The workplace exposure for the air pollutants that case (Australian Work Health and Safety Act) is announced together Standard.This invention address that meet all these various standards and suggestion, and meets and self-imposed can exceed that these requirements Standard.
Proppant particulate may also will lead to problem in petroleum vapor recovery.Particulate is smaller than entire proppant, therefore is propping up It supports cracks open and oil gas is made to flow through aspect, less effectively.In addition, they are easy blocking crack, inhibit nytron The flowing of object, and reduce the productivity of well.
Coating proppant main purpose before is to increase the compression strength of proppant, and dust Control is seen merely as being secondary Benefit.Compression strength can be increased by coating proppant with resin.But this is costly, therefore is not ideal increase wearability Solution.The purpose of other coating is to be controlled by coalescing small dust particles by originally just preventing from forming dust Dust processed.
According to the above, it is intended to provide after transport and processing (especially in pneumatic uninstall process) with less Dust/particulate proppant.
It is also expected to this proppant is a kind of Novel propping agent for hydraulic fracturing industry.
It is also expected to this proppant allows the user of proppant after transport and processing and when pneumatic unloading abides by OSHA PEL, NIOSH REL and similar requirement, this can preferably protect staff, and it is to prevent the dust of puzzlement Change (it may will affect the local community near sand factory, reprinting facility or pressing crack construction scene).
It is also expected to this proppant can help to abide by reduced OSHA PEL, NIOSH REL or class when needing in the future As standardize.
It is also expected to it is more cheaper than the proppant of coated with resins to produce this proppant.
It is also expected to this proppant prevents from forming dust rather than only coalesces existing dust.

In the first aspect, present invention relates in general to a kind of wear-resistant propping agent compound and its components.It is surveying In examination, the coating based on glycerol, the coating based on vegetable oil or the coating for being based on tall oil pitch (tall oil pitch) Thick-layer, thin layer or part of covering layer can unexpectedly increase wear resistance/impact resistance of the modified proppant in surface, and And respirable dust/particulate level can be substantially reduced when pneumatically unloading this surface and being modified proppant compound.It is this It was found that critically important when protection is exposed to the staff of proppant dust.The green property and sustainability of this chemical coating Matter can also preferably protect our environment and water source.
It is asked in addition to being used in the worker safety for air particulate matter relevant to OSHA compliance and NIOSH guide Except topic, the proppant compound can use in hydraulic fracturing situation in underground.Material may be used also as described further below As industrial sand, building sand or sports ground sand, or for similar situation.The green property and sustainability of the chemical coating Matter is critically important.It can avoid pollution the water and underground water of ground collecting zone (such as pond, streams or live runoff).It removes Except OSHA and NIOSH, U.S.EPA (Environmental Pretection Agency, EPA) or other mechanisms can It can also propose to encourage or require using biology and environment friendly material (such as the modified proppant in surface as described herein) Specification.
The proppant can be the modified proppant in surface for fracturing process.Institute can be seen in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3 State the cross section of proppant.Modified proppant 100 can be in transport and processing and when in the pneumatic unloading in pressing crack construction scene Less dust/particulate is provided.Environmental-friendly chemicals/coating 120 (such as formulation for coating material, base based on glycerol can be used In the formula of vegetable oil, or the formulation for coating material based on tall oil pitch) proppant is modified.Proppant 110 can be sand, such as Quartz sand, the beach sand, golf sand, coral sand, volcanic ash, glass sand, gypsum sand, oolith sand, silicon that quartz sand, resin coat Sand, black sand, greensand, Desert Sand, Shi Zhisha, biological sand, pomegranate stone sand, olivine sand, heavy mineral sand, continent sand, quartz sand or its The sand of its type;Or ceramics, for manufacture ceramics material (such as bauxite, light weight ceramics or resin coating ceramics, Commonly used in pressure break industry) or other suitable bulk materials, such as rubble English, broken shell etc..The modified self raising flour dirt in surface generates Composite system applies also for generating other particles of dust, such as talcum, feldspar, diatomite, kaolin, rubble English, seabeach Sand, sports ground sand, forging (fume) silica, golf course sand etc..Proppant 110 is shown as in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3 It is round or spherical, but it can be without departing from any geometry of the invention.
Chemical coating 120 can not be thermosetting polymer, ionomer, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or hydrogel.Change Petroleum can be not based on, be based on glycerol, based on propylene glycol or their combination by learning coating 120.More particularly, the chemistry applies Material can be based on glycerol, be based on vegetable oil, be based on tall oil pitch, be based on methyl ester and/or ethyl ester or their combination, Or it can be mineral oil or other suitable coating.The coating can not be ionomer, wherein ionomer packet Polyanion and polycationic polymer, including synthetic polymer, biopolymer or modified biopolymer are included, in skeleton Or as substituent group, include carboxyl, sulfo group, sulphate groups, phosphono or or mixtures thereof phosphate-based or its salt, Huo Zhebai Amine, secondary amine or tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium group or its suitable salt.The chemical coating can be it is environmental-friendly, and for people Class and/or animal can be atoxic.The coating can not need solidification or dry.Coating 120 can not be from it is different The additive or secondary coating of Coating material composition for various purposes, but main coating elements (element) can be used alone as.
The environment friendly and toxicity profiles of the changeable modified proppant system of coating or processing based on petroleum, are included in Air-borne dust/particulate when underground is handled material before introducing it, and the residual environment after down-hole application are dirty Dye.In such a way that non-exhaustive excludes, modified proppant 100 may not include the painting based on petroleum except glycerol or propylene glycol Material, surface hydrogel layer, synthetic polymeric layer, silane-functional oxidant layer, synthetic resin layer, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) are based on petroleum Other coating of fraction or based on from except polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol petroleum distillate monomer prepare polymer it is other Coating.The other coating excluded from the present invention include tackifier (including polyamide and polyacid) and organic coating, including each Kind thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or thermosetting polymer, polyurethane, cured isocyanate functional component, esterase or Ji Wusi Alcohol rosin ester, novolak polymers (phenol-aldehyde novolac polymer), polycarbodiimide, ring Oxide or viscoelastic surface's activator.This other or alternative coating is used to proppant being suspended to slurries sometimes In, proppant is delivered to breaking part, conductibility is promoted (to be the mobility of hydrocarbon under the scene, be not conductive Property), bear structural pressure (i.e. compression strength), or be used for other underground purposes.Modification proppant 100 of the invention can be with this A little other materials system in combination use, and are worried or with solving a variety of competitiveness in hydraulic fracturing or relevant context for other A variety of competitive misgivings of underground purpose (reducing the reflux of proppant).
Coating can be applied before using proppant.Therefore, coating can be applied to the new support substantially free of dust Agent.As such, coating mainly can prevent from forming dust rather than only inhibit existing dust by preventing proppant abrasion.It is right In the proppant with particular particle size, uncoated proppant may be broken in transport, processing and other use processes It splits.Coated proppant can keep identical particle size, and coating prevents proppant particles from rupturing.The coating proppant Can distinguish with such coating: the coating is applied to agglomerate containing dust, to coalesce existing dust, and prevents existing Dust becomes to propagate in air.If its turbidity is less than 200, preferably smaller than 150, more preferably less than 100, more preferably less than 50, then proppant is just seen as substantially free of dust.Turbidity is since suspended solid sightless for naked eye causes Fluid cloudiness (cloudiness) or turbidness (haziness).Dust/the particulate to suspend in water is in particle size It is similar with the respirable dust particle of respiratory hazard can be brought.Proppant substantially free of dust can be to be rushed to sand It washes, dry, being sieved and optionally in the proppant of the sand field production of bunker (silo) storage.The turbidity of proppant is desirable Certainly in rank.For example, the sample of 40/70 and #100 rank can have turbidity more higher than the sample of 20/40 and 16/30 rank, It is also even such when all samples are substantially free of dust.
In laboratory installation, coating can be applied by the way that coating is added dropwise to bulk material selected by 200g at room temperature.
