新型温敏性自黏结支撑剂研制及现场试验

Development and Field Test of a Novel Temperature-Sensitive Self-Bonding Proppant

  • 摘要: 针对水力压裂后支撑剂回流返吐导致裂缝导流能力下降、井筒砂卡磨损等问题,以双酚A和环氧氯丙烷合成的温敏性高分子材料对20/40目石英砂进行覆膜改性,研制了新型温敏性自黏结支撑剂,并对其温敏激活性能、黏聚性能、抗破碎性能、回流控制性能、导流能力及耐地层流体与外来流体性能进行了系统研究和评价。研究表明:自黏结支撑剂在50 ℃下即可激活聚集成团,最高适应油藏温度为120 ℃;在模拟近井亏空带条件下,其临界出砂流速可达石英砂的50倍;在21~52 MPa闭合压力下,其导流能力为石英砂的51.8%~90.6%,与胍胶压裂液、滑溜水压裂液的配伍性良好,在地层水、原油、酸液和碱液中长期浸泡后仍保持完整砂柱形态。该支撑剂先后在辽河油田10口井进行了现场试验,用新型温敏性自黏结支撑剂与石英砂按质量比3∶1混合尾追封口,措施后放喷阶段支撑剂回流量减少60%以上,检泵周期由178 d延长至568 d。试验结果表明,新型温敏性自黏结支撑剂可有效控制压裂后支撑剂回流,为疏松砂岩及低渗油藏压裂防砂提供了新的技术途径。

     

    Abstract: To solve the problems of fracture conductivity decline and downhole sand plugging caused by proppant backflow after hydraulic fracturing, a novel temperature-sensitive self-bonding proppant was developed by coating 20/40 mesh quartz sand with a temperature-sensitive polymer synthesized from bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin. Its temperature-sensitive activation, cohesion, breakage resistance, backflow control, conductivity, and resistance to formation fluids and foreign fluids were systematically evaluated, and field tests were carried out in the Liaohe Oilfield. The results show that the self-bonding proppant can be activated and agglomerate at 50 ℃, with a maximum applicable reservoir temperature of 120 ℃. Under simulated near-wellbore void conditions, its critical sand-production flow rate is up to 50 times that of quartz sand. Under closure pressures of 21~52 MPa, its conductivity reaches 51.8%~90.6% of that of quartz sand, it has good compatibility with guar-gel fracturing fluid and slickwater, and it maintains an intact sand-column morphology after long-term immersion in formation water, crude oil, acid and alkali solutions. A total of 10 well-times of field tests in the Liaohe Oilfield, using a 3:1 mixture of self-bonding proppant and quartz sand as tail-in sealing, reduced proppant backflow by more than 60% during the flowback stage and increased the pump-check interval from 178 d to 568 d. The study indicates that the novel temperature-sensitive self-bonding proppant can effectively control proppant backflow after fracturing, providing a new technical approach for fracturing sand control in unconsolidated sandstone and low-permeability reservoirs.
