Abstract

The Tarim area, characterized by deep reservoirs, high temperatures, and limited fresh water resources, necessitates a fracturing fluid system that exhibits excellent temperature shear resistance, low friction, and salinity tolerance. This study presents the development of a zwitterionic hydrophobic polymer, HPC-5, as an effective thickener using five types of polymeric monomers, including AM, AA, DMC, AMPS, and a non-ionic hydrophobic monomer. The method employed for synthesis was free-radical polymerization in solution. A series of experiments including viscosity measurement with variation of salinity, solubility and drag reduction test, crosslinking test, thermal and shear resistance, sand-carrying test, gel breaking evaluation, and core damage test were conduct under the simulated reservoir conditions. The zwitterionic design imparts great salt tolerance to HPC-5, and the apparent viscosities of HPC-5 solutions can maintain comparably high values with 10×104 ppm NaCl and CaCl2 concentration. Meanwhile, the molecules of HPC-5 associate with each other to form tight net structures, resulting in an excellent viscoelasticity of the solution. To achieve high pump rate during hydraulic fracturing operation in ultra-deep reservoirs, the delayed crosslinking agent ZDC-L was prepared for forming a delayed crosslinking gel fracturing fluid system using reservoir brine, and the drag reduction rate can reach over 70% before crossing link within 4 min. Under pH = 4 conditions, the crosslinking time can be significantly delayed to over 4 min while maintaining exceptional temperature resistance up to 160 ℃ for the gel. These properties make it highly suitable for hydraulic fracturing operations in ultra-deep wells with temperatures reaching up to 7000 m depth at pump rates of 4~5m3/min.

超深高温井中耐盐延迟交联压裂液体系的合成与评估
塔里木地区储层深、温度高、淡水资源有限,因此需要一种具有出色的耐温剪切性、低摩擦性和耐盐性的压裂液体系。本研究利用五种聚合物单体(包括 AM、AA、DMC、AMPS 和一种非离子疏水单体),开发了一种有效的增稠剂--齐聚物疏水聚合物 HPC-5。合成方法是在溶液中进行自由基聚合。在模拟储层条件下进行了一系列试验,包括随盐度变化的粘度测量、溶解度和阻力降低试验、交联试验、耐热性和耐剪切性、携砂试验、凝胶破裂评估和岩心损害试验。HPC-5的齐聚物设计赋予其极强的耐盐性,在10×104 ppm的NaCl和CaCl2浓度下,HPC-5溶液的表观粘度仍能保持相当高的数值。同时,HPC-5 分子之间相互结合形成紧密的网状结构,从而使溶液具有极佳的粘弹性。为了在超深储层水力压裂作业中实现高泵率,制备了延迟交联剂 ZDC-L,利用储层盐水形成延迟交联凝胶压裂液体系,在 4 分钟内,交联前的阻力降低率可达 70% 以上。在 pH = 4 的条件下,交联时间可显著延迟至 4 分钟以上,同时凝胶还能保持优异的耐温性,最高可达 160 ℃。这些特性使其非常适合在温度高达 7000 米、泵速为 4~5m3/min 的超深井中进行水力压裂作业。
