Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of oilfield chemicals, in particular to a low-temperature gel breaking activator in a low-permeability oilfield fracturing fluid system and a using method thereof.
Technical Field
Fracturing is one of the main means for increasing oil field production and has been commonly used in various large oil fields. The basic functions of the fracturing fluid in fracturing construction are as follows: (1) forming and extending a crack using hydraulic wedge action; (2) conveying and paving fracturing propping agents along the cracks; (3) after fracturing, the liquid can break gel and flow back to the maximum extent, the damage to cracks and a liquid layer is reduced, and a supporting seam belt with a certain length and high flow conductivity is formed in a reservoir stratum. Conventional fracturing operations typically employ water-based fracturing fluids as the primary. Typically, guar gum, fenugreek gum, polyacrylamide, etc. are used. Water-based fracturing fluids can cause some damage to the formation if not broken, and therefore, a breaker is required to break the polymer.
Common breakers are 1) oxidizing agents such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and the like; 2) releasing the acid; 3) the biological enzyme can play a good role in breaking gel at the temperature lower than 25 ℃, the activity of the enzyme is reduced at the temperature higher than 25 ℃, the cost of the enzyme is higher, and the requirement on the environment is harsh, so an oxidant is generally adopted as a gel breaker at the temperature higher than 25 ℃. The gel breaking performance of oxidants such as ammonium persulfate and hydrogen peroxide is better above 50 ℃ due to the fact that the oxidants release highly reactive oxygen radicals at high temperatures. For low-permeability oilfield wells, the ambient temperature is relatively low, about 25-50 ℃, due to shallow burial depth. When the temperature is lower than 50 ℃, the energy required by the oxidant to generate oxygen free radicals is not enough provided, so that the gel breaking capacity of the oxidant gel breaker is greatly weakened, and the purpose of gel breaking cannot be achieved, therefore, the oxidant is used for reducing the temperature to 25-50 DEG CThe gel breaking system needs to be added with a gel breaking activator, so that the oxidant can release oxygen free radicals at low temperature to break the macromolecular structure of the fracturing fluid, and the purpose of gel breaking is achieved. A common oxide gel breaking activator is FeSO4Etc. but Fe2+After gel breaking, Fe (OH) is generated3Precipitation, which affects the efficiency of construction, simply adding FeSO4The fracturing fluid can break gel rapidly, and the operation purpose can not be achieved. At present, the gel breaking system used at the low temperature of 25-50 ℃ has the defects of large addition amount of an activator, narrow application range, long gel breaking time, large environmental hazard, incomplete gel breaking and the like.

In the method, the gel breaking temperature is 30 ℃ or 40 ℃.
