Definitions

  • the invention relates to manipulation of hydrocarbons in general and particularly to a system and method that employs carbon dioxide as a working fluid.
  • the current fracking process is applied in a slightly different manner by oil and gas field service providers as each provider has custom built equipment and variations of chemical blends as determined by both the geo-mechanical nature of the well and the development history within the company.
  • the conventional sequence of operation is first drilling to reach a zone believed to contain gas or oil, fracking the zone, and producing the gas or oil. As the production of gas or oil decays over time, the well may require additional fracking periods to allow the rate of production to be improved.
  • the fracking process requires high pressure, which uses a lot of horsepower to drive the fluid down more than a mile into the well. There is also required science to calculate the mixtures of the fracking fluid chemicals, water, and sand required to fracture the shale within the pay zone. As one equipment provider has stated, "the more horsepower I can deliver to the well, the happier the well stimulation operator will be.” To accomplish this goal, a missile (a manifold containing a low pressure loading side and a high pressure delivery side, around which the operation centers) is placed over the well. On one side are attached 5 to 6 semi-trailer trucks containing pressure pumps to deliver the maximum available pumping horsepower. On the other side are positioned sand, water, and chemical trucks to deliver these materials.
  • a hydration truck which is used to blend the chemicals with the water to form a gel which is then mixed with the sand.
  • the gelling process allows for a much higher quantity of sand to be fed downhole.
  • the sand/gel blender delivers the mixture of sand, water, and chemicals to the low pressure side of the missile. The missile is then pressurized and released downhole where it can crack the rock open leaving the sand behind to prop the fissure open allowing for the gas or oil production once the fracking process is completed.
  • the liquid pumped into the rock is mixed with chemicals and one or more forms of "proppant," commonly sand.
  • Proppant particles are trapped in cracks generated by fracking and help “prop” them open, facilitating the continued flow of gas through the fractures.
  • operators have experimented with various combinations and concentrations of gels, proppants, and water (and sometimes foam), often varying the technique for different formations.
  • the nature of the fracking fluid and proppant is generally tailored to the particular geological formation being fracked. For the types of shale gas formations of concern here, the fracking mixture tends to be at least about 98% to 99% water and sand, with the remainder comprising any of a number of substances.
  • These substances can include "friction reducing” agents such as polyacrylamides, biocides such as methanol to kill bacteria, “scale inhibitors” such as hydrochloric acid, and various other materials such as guar gum, borate salts, and isopropanol that can help optimize any of a variety of fracking fluid properties such as viscosity and the ability to carry and release proppant.

  • Proppants can also be varied in terms of grain size, shape, coating, or source.
  • the goal of the chemicals is to help hold the sand in the place and to assist in adding "punch” to the fluid as it hits the shale.
  • this process is one of brute force against the shale which is repeated over and over until the fracking step is completed.
  • a typical well can have 20 to 25 stages along the horizontal which need to be fracked. This means the process of blending, pressurizing, and cracking can last 20 to 25 hours, approximately one hour per stage needed to be fracked. During the course of this operation, hundreds of operational parameters are measured and adjusted to optimize the operation. For each stage the process and mixtures of chemicals, water, and sand are optimized. Once the process is completed, the flow is reversed and the downward pressure removed from the well. The fracking equipment is removed from the site and the well is set up for production. Within a couple of days, the release of all the pressure pushed down well will be fully reversed and gas production will begin and continue for some time.

  • the proppant concentration is decreased as -the change occurs from foam to liquid so that the proppant material will not deposit out prematurely in the well.
  • the proppant to fluid ratio is gradually increased and the fracture of the formation is continued with liquid and proppant.

  • Kerogen is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks.

Hence, it allows for the user to tap into less mature and currently inaccessible shales without the use of water or chemical additives, while utilizing typical wellhead development methods and typical methods for hydraulic fluid fracturing techniques.

  • CO2 is most frequently used in supercritical processes because of its low cost and convenient critical conditions, with a critical temperature and pressure of 304.2 and 72.8 atm, respectively).
  • Supercritical (“sc”) CO2 has also displaced halogenated and aromatic solvents in several industrial processes as an environmentally benign substitute.
  • SCFs, and in particular scC0 2 reduce drastically the viscosity of heavy hydrocarbons or condensed phases, making them, particularly effective in extracting organic components from oil shale. Mobility of the hydrocarbon phase is significantly increased because the surface tension of the hydrocarbon phase decreases drastically with the amount of dissolved supercritical fluid, which enables SCF mixtures to move freely in the small pores and microstructures that exist in oil shale formations.
  • the SCCO2 is able to enter the small pore openings in the shale (due to the specific properties of the liquid) and it can also react with the kerogen through absorption allowing some of the kerogen to be broken down and to release natural gas. This action is the initial opening of the shale and the start of the fracture. As the pressure drops, the solution formed between the reacting kerogen and the CO2 rapidly expands leaving gas and a fine participate of the solids from the kerogen.
  • the CO2 and a fraction of miscible products from the reaction with the kerogen are expected to convert from a supercritical "fluid" to a vapor, with significant expansion.
  • This vapor is expected to continue to expand with decreasing confining pressure as it moves into the fracture.
  • Flow velocities of the CO2 from the surface to downhole are expected toincrease accordingly as the pumps work to maintain pressure.
  • Any mud, shale, powders, or other supercritical fluid in the well is expected to be pushed quickly into the fracture, leaving little hydrostatic pressure to resist influx of CO2 into the fracture areas. The result is expected to be that more supercritical CO2 flows into the fracture, expanding as it does so.
  • the shale By having CO2 enter the small pore structure and then rapidly expanding, the shale is expected to be fractured. More gas is expected to be pushed down the well to maintain pressure as monitored on the surface and the process may be repeated further expanding the fracture. It is expected that this process can be maintained as a slow and steady process at pressures around 1500-2000 psia or more violently and more like the traditional process at pressures around 10,000 to 12,000 psia.
  • the scC0 2 can also carry a catalyst or co-solvent to allow for a reaction with the kerogen which will break down the kerogen and produce additional natural gas from the reservoir.
  • CO2 used in the fracking can be recaptured and some level of the CO2 will be left in the ground.
  • the method encourages the formation of more complex micro-fractures, which can connect many more natural fractures greatly, increasing maximally the fractures conductivity.
  • the energy provided by CO2 results in the elimination of all residual liquid left in the formation from the fracturing fluid.
  • More shales can be utilized for production, opening up new sites and larger volumes of hydrocarbons.
