Abstract

In the context of a comprehensive search for ways to optimize and reduce operating costs for hydraulic fracturing operations, one of the areas to consider is the use of alternative water sources for making-up hydraulic fracturing fluids such as Cenomanian, mixed or produced water. This solution allows to optimize the speed and quality of work without wasting time and financial resources due to no need for heating and remote transportation. The main goal of the study was to create a stable guar-based hydraulic fracturing fluid system with a borate crosslinker, which allows high-quality treatment using high-salinity water. Much attention is paid to the composition of real saline sources, i.e. produced, mixed and Cenomanian water, which were sampled from the Gazpromneft-Khantos fields. Based on the data ranking by composition, the main groups of mineral components, as well as the cut-off criteria that determine the behavior of a hydraulic fracturing fluid in linear and cross-linked forms, were identified. The main stage of working on the fluid system quality included two areas: screening stabilizing components that meet the criteria for performing hydraulic fracturing operations, and assessing the fluid clogging properties based on flow tests. To study and select the composition of a hydraulic fracturing fluid, both standard and extended rheological tests were performed, which included core tests on real samples from target reservoirs and tests of residual conductivity and permeability of a proppant pack. The sand-transport properties of the fluid were measured both in static and dynamic conditions. The study resulted in the development of a fluid system complex including stabilizing additives and criteria for their applicability at real field conditions, taking into account the features of the existing equipment of hydraulic fracturing fleets. Experiments have shown that standard guar fluids based on water from alternative sources, when using a complex of stabilizing components, successfully replace the basic set of additives for fresh water, and are quite competitive not only in rheological properties and the ability to transport proppants, but also in restoring the permeability of a proppant pack and core samples. Each stabilizing component of such fluid makes its own unique contribution to achieving the required parameters of the fluid without losing its quality. An important achievement is the development of methods and criteria for the applicability of stabilizing components that make it possible to work with any source, whether it is produced, mixed, or Cenomanian water. The solution allows in a short time to adjust the fluid system depending on the actual mineral composition in a stationary field laboratory without the involvement of specialized equipment and expensive research.

替代水源水力压裂:综合方法、途径和解决方案
在全面寻找优化和降低水力压裂作业成本的方法的背景下,需要考虑的一个领域是使用替代水源来补充水力压裂液,如Cenomanian、混合水或采出水。该解决方案可以优化工作速度和质量,而不会因为不需要供暖和远程运输而浪费时间和财力。该研究的主要目标是创建一种稳定的含有硼酸盐交联剂的瓜尔基水力压裂液系统,从而实现高盐度水的高质量处理。对真正的含盐水源的组成给予了很大的关注,即从Gazpromneft-Khantos油田取样的产出水、混合水和Cenomanian水。根据数据成分排序,确定了矿物成分的主要类别,以及确定线性和交联形式的水力压裂液行为的截止标准。流体系统质量研究的主要阶段包括两个方面:筛选符合水力压裂作业标准的稳定成分,以及基于流动测试评估流体堵塞特性。为了研究和选择水力压裂液的成分,进行了标准和扩展流变试验,包括对目标储层的实际样品进行岩心测试,以及对支撑剂充填的剩余导电性和渗透率进行测试。测试了流体在静态和动态条件下的输沙特性。考虑到现有水力压裂设备的特点,该研究开发了一种流体系统综合体,包括稳定添加剂和适用于实际现场条件的标准。实验表明,当使用稳定成分的复合物时,以替代水源为基础的标准瓜尔胶流体成功地取代了淡水添加剂的基本组合,并且不仅在流变性和运输支撑剂的能力方面具有相当的竞争力,而且在恢复支撑剂充填层和岩心样品的渗透率方面也具有竞争力。这种流体的每个稳定成分都有自己独特的贡献,以达到流体所需的参数而不失去其质量。一项重要的成就是开发了稳定成分适用性的方法和标准,使其能够与任何来源一起工作,无论是生产水、混合水还是塞诺曼尼亚水。该解决方案允许在固定的现场实验室中根据实际矿物成分在短时间内调整流体系统,而无需专业设备和昂贵的研究。
