The present invention relates to the field of hydrocarbon reservoir fracturing reformation technology, in particular to a multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system suitable for tight hydrocarbon reservoirs and shale hydrocarbon reservoirs.
The world's unconventional oil and gas resources are abundant, of which the proportion of low permeability and ultra-low permeability oil and gas reservoirs is huge. Due to the low permeability and low porosity of low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, it is necessary to stimulate it to form a complex fracture network, so as to increase the yield. The stimulation of the low permeability oil and gas reservoirs in the world is mainly based on hydraulic fracturing technology, and the commonly used fracturing fluid is guar gum fracturing fluid. When using guar gum as a thickener, in order to reach a sufficient viscosity to meet the requirement of sand carrying, usually a cross-linking agent need to be added, through chemical cross-linking a gel fracturing fluid system is formed. But the gel fracturing fluid system is not broken completely, and the content of water insoluble matter in guar gum thickener is high, thus high amount of residue after breaking will damage the formation. At the same time, because the gel fracturing fluid system is formed by cross-linking technology, this type of jel system is not resistant to shear, so it is not suitable for large-scale fracturing which requires resistant to shear for a long time, or high shear rate tubing, coiled tubing and jet fracturing. Furthermore, high viscosity and high construction friction of gel fracturing fluid system increase the load of fracturing equipments, which is not advantageous to deep well stimulation.
In recent years, slick water fracturing technology has been used in the Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) in many low permeability oil and gas reservoirs (especially shale gas reservoirs) on the stratum volume reconstruction, which achieved a better yield and increased the injection effect. The so-called slick water fracturing is the fracturing operation in the low permeability oil and gas reservoir reformation, by adding friction-reducing agent (anionic polymer or low concentration of guar gum, etc.), active agent, clay stabilizer or linear gel to water, serving as a working fluid.
Slick water fracturing can generate a long complex fracture network, but the effective length of the propped fracture will change greatly with the concentration of the proppant and the laying effect. The concentration of the proppant in the slick water fracturing fluid is low, so the fracture conductivity is poor. Later, a new fracturing method-hybrid slick water fracturing technology, which combined gel fracturing technology with slick water fracturing technology, was proposed. The technique involves mainly a large displacement injection of slick water, so that the natural fractures in the formation produce a shear slip, and secondary fractures appear on the side of the fractures, thus a long complex fracture network is formed. A proppant with low sand rate is carried in to support micro fractures. A suspension with high sand proportion using gel carries a proppant with high sand ratio into the formation, supporting the main fractures, thus a better fracture conductivity is formed.
At present, slick water is mainly prepared by using anionic polymer, low concentration of guar gum or linear gel as friction-reducing agent, and using guar gum and other natural polymers and synthetic polymers as a thickener, so as to form a gel system as a sand carrying fluid with high sand ratio. But the additives for slick water and gel fracturing fluid are different; in order to meet the needs of various formations, many types of additives are used, resulting in the difficulty in the quality control of raw materials during procurement; at the same time the preparation process for the fluid is also complex (especially in the large-scale Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) process). These consume a lot of manpower and material resources. In addition, with the continuous improvement of environmental requirements and the lack of water resources, what needs to be considered is to reduce the amount of working fluid required for increasing the yield of fracturing fluid, while achieving “zero discharge” of the working fluid wastewater of fracturing fluid. All the flowback liquid after fracturing needs to be treated, recycled or re-injected into the formation. Because there are many types of additives added to the fracturing fluid, which makes the composition of the flowback liquid is complicated, the cost of recycle and processing is high.
In view of the above, the technical problem to be solved by present invention is to provide a multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system which is simple to prepare and environmentally friendly.

The system uses low concentration associative polymer as a friction-reducing agent to prepare slick water and uses high concentration associative polymer to prepare high viscosity sand carrying fluid, achieving multiple functions of an associative polymer. Compared with the existing “polyacrylamide or linear gel slick water”+“guar gum fracturing fluid” complex fracturing fluid system, multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system has a better performance of sand suspending, thus reducing the amount of sand carrying fluid in slick water and the total amount of fracturing fluid. At the same time, the operation friction of slick water is low, capable of meeting the requirements of large displacement operation; high viscosity sand carrying fluid has a high resistance to shear and a low residue content after gel breaking, so the damage to formation is low. The multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system is simple in formula, less additive type, has an easy preparation process, and can save a great amount of manpower and material resources in fracturing operation. Since the composition of this system is simple, the flowback liquid can be re-formulated to fracturing fluid after flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and other simple treatments, reducing the amount of additives while improving the utilization rate of water for fracturing.

In the slick water of the multi-functional composition fracturing fluid system of the present invention, the associative polymer is used as a friction-reducing agent to reduce the friction in the whole solution pumping process and reduce the operation pressure during the fracturing operation. The friction reduction effect of the slick water is often associative with the concentration of friction-reducing agent.

The adding amount of clay stabilizer is generally related to the clay mineral content in the reservoir. The clay stabilizer matched with the associative polymer thickener in the slick water is preferably one or more of potassium chloride, ammonium chloride and nonionic organic clay stabilizers; more preferably, potassium chloride and/or ammonium chloride.
Said water solvent can be clear water or flowback liquid after treatment, and there is no particular limit. Said flowback liquid after treatment is the flowback liquid after flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and other simple treatments, which is well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art and there is no particularly limit.
In some embodiments of the present invention, by mass percentage, said slick water comprises 0.08% of friction-reducing agent, 0.2% of enhancer, 1% of clay stabilizer, and water solvent as the balance.
Since the slick water of present invention is simple in composition, so the flowback liquid can be re-formulated to fracturing fluid after flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and other simple treatments, improving the utilization rate of fracturing water. When using flowback liquid to prepare slick water, because there are still a small amount of additives therein, the performance may not meet the application requirements, it is also necessary to add a variety of additives to achieve the property of slick water. By mass percentage, said slick water comprises 0.02%˜0.1% of friction-reducing agent, 0.05%˜0.25% of enhancer, 0.2%˜1.5% of clay stabilizer, and flowback liquid after treatment as the balance. In some embodiments of the present invention, said slick water comprises 0.06% of friction-reducing agent, 0.15% of enhancer, 0.5% of clay stabilizer, and flowback liquid after treatment as the balance.

As a thickener in the high viscosity sand carrying fluid, associative polymer can be used to improve the viscosity of the liquid to meet the requirements of on-site sand carrying. The adding amount of the enhancer increases with the increase of oil and gas reservoir temperature in which it is used. It is used in conjunction with some surfactants to increase the sand carrying performance of sand carrying fluid, while also reducing the amount of the associative polymer, thereby saving costs.
The enhancer in the high viscosity sand carrying fluid can reduce the surface tension of sand carrying fluid, while also improving its sand carrying performance. The content of said enhancer in the high viscosity sand carrying fluid is preferably 0.15%˜0.4%, more preferably 0.2%˜0.3%.
The content of said clay stabilizer in the high viscosity sand carrying fluid is preferably 0.5%˜1.5%, more preferably 0.8%˜1.2%.
Gel breaker is used to hydrate and decompose the polymer after fracturing, reducing the viscosity of the sand carrying fluid, so that the liquid entering the formation after pressure can be flowback, thus reducing damage to the formation. The amount of gel breaker is generally determined by the formation temperature, decreasing with high formation temperature, and increasing with low formation temperature. The content of said oxidative gel breaker in the present invention is preferably 0.05%˜0.3%, more preferably 0.05%˜0.25%, even more preferably 0.05%˜0.2%, and most preferably 0.08%˜0.15%.

Since the high viscosity sand carrying fluid of present invention is simple in composition, so the flowback liquid can be re-formulated to high viscosity sand carrying fluid after flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and other simple treatments, improving the utilization rate of fracturing water. When using flowback liquid to prepare high viscosity sand carrying fluid, because there are still a small amount of additives therein, the performance may not meet the application requirements, it is also necessary to add a variety of additives to achieve the property of high viscosity sand carrying fluid. By mass percentage, said high viscosity sand carrying fluid comprises 0.2%˜0.65% of thickener, 0.1%˜0.3% of enhancer, 0.3%˜1.5% of clay stabilizer, 0.03%˜0.4% of oxidative gel breaker, and flowback liquid after treatment as the balance.

In some other embodiments of the present invention, said high viscosity sand carrying fluid comprises 0.37% of thickener, 0.25% of enhancer, 0.5% clay stabilizer, 0.08% oxidative gel breaker, and flowback liquid after treatment as the balance.
The multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system of the present invention comprises slick water and high viscosity sand carrying fluid. By adding low concentration of associative polymer as a friction-reducing agent in the water, in combination with the corresponding enhancer and clay stabilizer, the slick water can be prepared; by adding high concentrations of associative polymer as a thickener in the water, in combination with the corresponding enhancer, clay stabilizer and oxidative gel breaker, the sand carrying fluid can be prepared, thus a multi-purpose function of an associative polymer is achieved. The components of slick water and high viscosity sand carrying fluid are basically the same, which can improve the quality control of materials, simplify the preparation process, and save manpower and material resources in the fluid preparation.
The slick water in this multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system has a better performance of sand suspending, and can reduce the amount of sand carrying fluid in the slick water, thus reducing the total fluid amount in fracturing operation. The viscosity of the slick water is slightly higher than that of the conventional slick water, and can generate a higher net pressure, which is favorable to the shear and slip of the natural fractures and the formation and extension of the complex fractures. At the same time, the slick water has a high friction reduction rate and a low operation friction, thus reducing the operation pressure, meeting the requirements of large displacement operation.
The high viscosity sand carrying fluid in the multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system of the present invention belongs to non-cross linking fracturing fluid which has no need for cross-linking. It has advantages of high shearing resistance, low operation friction and low damage rate to formation. These can solve the problem of poor shearing resistance, high operation friction and high residue content caused by the gel fracturing fluid system.
At the mean time, the slick water and the high viscosity sand carrying fluid in the multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system are simple in formula, less additive type, have an easy preparation process. The flowback liquid can be re-formulated to fracturing fluid after flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and other simple treatments, improving the utilization rate of fracturing water.
The present invention further provides a method for preparing the slick water in the multi-functional hybrid fracturing fluid system, comprising mixing 0.02%˜0.15% of friction-reducing agent, 0.05%˜0.3% of enhancer, 0.2%˜2% of clay stabilizer by mass percentage and water as the balance, stirring, to obtain the slick water.
Herein, said friction-reducing agent, enhancer, clay stabilizer and water are the same as described above and will not be described further.
Preferably, friction-reducing agent, enhancer, and clay stabilizer are added to water, wherein the friction-reducing agent is added before the addition of the clay stabilizer. More preferably, friction-reducing agent, enhancer and clay stabilizer are added to water successively. Even most preferably, the slick water is prepared by adding the friction-reducing agent to water, stirring 2˜3 min, adding enhancer and clay stabilizer, and stirring 1˜2 min. Adding clay stabilizer before the addition of friction-reducing agent will lower the viscosity of the slick water.

Herein, said thickener, enhancer, clay stabilizer, oxidative gel breaker and water are the same as described above and will not be described further.
Preferably, thickener, enhancer, clay stabilizer, and oxidative gel breaker are added to water, wherein the thickener is added before the addition of the clay stabilizer. More preferably, the thickener is added to water first, then the enhancer and the clay stabilizer is added, and the oxidative gel breaker is added finally. Even most preferably, the high viscosity sand carrying fluid is prepared by adding thickener to water and stirring for 5˜6 min; adding enhancer and clay stabilizer, further stirring for 2˜3 min; adding oxidative gel breaker finally and stirring evenly.
