Description

Temperature-resistant and salt-resistant surface modified propping agent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas wells, in particular to a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant surface modified propping agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique in which a high-pressure pump pumps fracturing fluid into a wellbore to fracture a formation, thereby increasing the permeability of the formation and promoting the high-flux flow of petroleum, natural gas or other unconventional energy sources from a reservoir to the wellbore. To prevent the fracture from closing after the pressure drop, a fracturing fluid is pumped while proppant is brought into the fracture, thereby maintaining the fracture's conductivity. The choice of proppants directly affects fracture conductivity and oil and gas production. The ideal proppants should include the following features: the density is low, so that the fracturing fluid can conveniently enter the ground; (2) high strength, preventing crushing at formation pressure; (3) The chemical inertness is good, and the corrosion of oil, acid and salt water can be resisted; (4) The sphericity is good, and good pores can be kept among proppants; (5) low cost.
The traditional proppants currently commercialized mainly comprise quartz sand, ceramsite or coated proppants. However, these proppants have a high density, are prone to sedimentation in the fracturing fluid, and are difficult to transport to the fracture ends by the fracturing fluid. The problem can be effectively solved by using the high-viscosity sand-carrying fluid, but the energy consumption can be increased by using too much tackifier, so that the reservoir is damaged. The low-density propping agent has low sedimentation rate in the fracturing fluid, so that the use of chemical agents in the fracturing fluid is reduced, the fracturing cost is reduced, the damage to a reservoir is reduced, and the environment-friendly sustainable production is facilitated. There are three types of low density proppants: hollow/porous proppants, low density material proppants and surface modifying proppants. The hollow/porous propping agent has low compressive strength due to the structural characteristics, high sintering temperature and excessive energy consumption. The low-density material propping agent is made of a large amount of high-cost low-density materials, has high cost and complex production process. The surface modified low-density proppant is prepared by coating low-density substances on the surface of the traditional proppant with low cost, and can comprehensively consider cost, energy and performance.
Patent application number 202110141400.4 discloses a method for preparing an ultralow-density propping agent. The preparation of the disclosed ultra-low density propping agent mainly comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a dispersing agent, an antioxidant and water in a low-pressure reaction kettle to obtain a liquid phase; adding the core material and the monomer into the liquid phase in sequence under the stirring condition to obtain a reaction liquid; and heating the reaction liquid and keeping the temperature constant to carry out suspension polymerization reaction to obtain the propping agent. However, the reaction temperature of the above technology is as high as 135-155 ℃, and the reaction temperature is too high, so that a large amount of heat is consumed, and the technology is not suitable for industrial production.
Patent application number 201910831808.7 discloses a method for producing ultra-low density proppants based on supramolecular materials. The invention discloses a production method of an ultra-low density propping agent based on a supermolecular material, which comprises the following steps: mixing the reaction liquid A and the non-reaction liquid B according to the ratio of 0-0.75:0.25-1 mass ratio, and sequentially injecting into a reaction kettle; the reaction kettle is used for uniformly stirring the reaction liquid A and the non-reaction liquid B, heating and preserving heat until the reaction between the components of the reaction liquid A is completed, and then naturally cooling; separating bead particles generated by the reaction liquid A from the non-reaction liquid B in the reaction kettle; adding the bead-shaped particles into a ball mill for further grinding into balls; sieving with a sieving machine to obtain the ultra-low density propping agent. However, the low-density proppants in this invention are all composed of high-cost supramolecular materials, which are too costly to be suitable for industrial large-scale use.

C3 Standing and polymerizing for 6h at room temperature, taking out the polymer, cutting, drying at 105 ℃ to constant weight, crushing, and screening to 20-40 meshes to obtain the surface modified propping agent.
2. Performance testing
(1) Determination of surface modified proppant settling bed volume
3G of the surface-modified proppant was placed in kerosene, and the volume of the surface-modified proppant was measured to be 2mL (see FIG. 1 a). 3g of the surface-modified proppant was taken and placed in water, after which it had been fully swelled, and its volume was measured to be 30mL (see FIG. 1 b). It follows that the surface modifying proppants can expand 15 times.
(2) Static sand suspension experiment
The settling time of the surface modified proppants at different sand concentrations at room temperature was determined. The method comprises the following steps: and (3) placing different amounts of the surface modification proppants into deionized water to respectively obtain mixed systems with mass concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, manually stirring the mixed systems in the deionized water by using a glass rod for 1min (stirring speed is about 60 r/min), standing and observing the surface modification proppants after the surface modification proppants are completely suspended, and recording the suspendable time of the surface modification proppants. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a diagram showing the effect of the surface-modified proppant according to example 1 on the floatable time test, wherein fig. 2 (a) is a schematic diagram of the as-prepared sand concentration system, fig. 2 (b) is a schematic diagram of the sand concentration system after standing for 24 hours, and fig. 2 (c) is a schematic diagram of the sand concentration system after standing for 48 hours; wherein, 4 samples are in each figure, and the sand concentration systems with the concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% are arranged from left to right. It can be seen that the surface modified proppants of the present invention can be suspended for more than 48 hours.
(3) Suspension Property at high temperature
Different amounts of the surface modification proppants were placed in deionized water to obtain mixed systems with mass concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, respectively, and the volume of the surface modification proppants settled bed was tested as a function of temperature (20 ℃ to 150 ℃), and the results are shown in fig. 3, and fig. 3 is a graph showing the volume of the surface modification proppants settled bed as a function of temperature for different sand concentrations in example 1. It can be seen that when the sand concentration is more than 20%, the suspending capability can be still maintained at the high temperature of 150 ℃, and the process requirement of actual oilfield fracturing can be met.
(4) Suspension Property at high salt
And taking quartz sand to be placed in water to obtain a sand water sample as a comparison sample. Meanwhile, the surface modifying proppants are respectively placed in different salt solutions (NaCl solution, KCl solution, caCl 2 solution and MgCl 2 solution) to obtain different surface modifying proppants systems, the settled bed volumes of the surface modifying proppants of the samples under different salt concentrations are observed at normal temperature, the results are shown in fig. 4, and fig. 4 is a settled bed volume test chart of the surface modifying proppants under different salt concentrations in example 1. It can be seen that the settled bed volume of the surface modifying proppant decreases with increasing salt content in the aqueous solution, and when 6g of salt is contained per 30mL of the surface modifying proppant system (i.e., at high salt concentrations), the volume of the surface modifying proppant settled bed is still higher than that of quartz sand, demonstrating that the surface modifying proppant has excellent salt resistance.
Example 2
The procedure is as in example 1, except that in step c 1) the molar ratio of the three monomers is adjusted to 8:0.25:0.25 and the pH is adjusted to 7.
Example 3
The procedure is as in example 1, except that in step c 1) the molar ratio of the three monomers is adjusted to 8:1:1 and the pH is adjusted to 8.

Comparative example 2
The procedure is as in example 1, except that in step c 2) the temperature is adjusted to 90 ℃.
Comparative example 3
The procedure is as in example 1, except that in step c 2) the temperature is adjusted to 40 ℃.
Example 4: performance testing
Performance tests were performed on examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 according to performance test items (1) to (4) in example 1, respectively, wherein a 30% sand concentration was used in item (3) and a NaCl solution was used as a salt solution in item (4). The results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1: results of Performance test
Note that: the term "increase in settled bed volume at 150" in item 3 refers to "the settled bed volume of the test sample at 150 ℃ with a 20% sand ratio minus the settled bed volume of the reference control sample (20% sand ratio, 30mL system)". The term "high salt settled bed volume up-scaling" refers to "settled bed volume of test sample minus settled bed volume of reference control sample (20% sand ratio, 30mL system)", wherein the settled bed volume of test sample is that of high salt concentration (i.e., 30mL surface modified proppant system containing CaCl 2 at a mass concentration of 20%) with a sample of quartz sand in water as the reference control sample.
As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the expansion times of the surface modified proppants obtained in examples 1-3 are more than 11 times, and can be up to 15 times, and the surface modified proppants have better expansibility; the suspension time is more than 48 hours, and the suspension capacity is good; the volume rise of the sedimentation bed is more than 17mL at 150 ℃, and the sedimentation bed has excellent high temperature resistance; the volume increase of the settled bed under high salt is more than 4mL, and the high salt-resistant settling bed shows excellent salt resistance. Compared with the examples, the comparative example 1 changes the types of monomers, and as a result, various properties of the obtained product are obviously deteriorated, and the invention proves that the good properties can be obtained only by adopting three specific monomer collocations of acrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride. Compared with the examples, the reaction temperature in the step c 2) of the comparative examples 2-3 is too high and too low, and as a result, various properties of the obtained product are obviously deteriorated, which proves that the control of the specific reaction temperature condition is beneficial to the improvement of the properties of the product.
