The present invention relates to a well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a fracking fluid without water for tight oil and gas reservoir to improve recovery efficiency, and more particularly to a preparation method of supercritical carbon dioxide thickener for tight oil and gas reservoir. The present invention is in the oilfield chemical field.
The tight oil and gas reservoirs are characterized in poor physical properties, low-porosity and low-permeability, which is strongly sensitive to water. Research shows that the clay mineral in the reservoir, especially the expansive clay, and other authigenic sedimentary minerals are formation water with different mineralization. The minerals expand, disperse, fall off and migrate from the original place to cause pores to become smaller or cracks to close because the formation water with low mineralization enters the oil and gas reservoir. More small micro-pores and capillaries are formed and can absorb more and more water, which leads to severe water-sensitive damage.
The small radius of pore throat, high pressure inside the capillaries, low permeability, and strong heterogeneity lead to serious water-lock damage. The water-lock effect refers to the phenomena of reduction of gas-phase permeability due to increase in gas phase flow resistance caused by increasing water saturation from initial water saturation or irreducible water saturation to 100% water saturation after liquid phase work fluid invades the gas reservoir during the process of drilling, well completion and fracturing. The water-lock effect is essentially caused by the capillary force in the fracture. The capillary force equals the difference between the nonwetting phase pressure and the wetting phase pressure on two sides of the meniscus of capillary, which can be calculated by Laplace's Equation in an arbitrary curved surface.
Because in low permeability or tight gas reservoir, the pore throat size is small for free flow of the fluid; the gas flow channel is narrow; the seepage resistance is large; and the interaction force between liquid-solid interface and liquid-gas interface is large, too, the water lock effect become particularly prominent. Once the water lock occurs, the permeability damage rate can reach more than 70%, and the gas well production will be reduced to less than 1/3 of the original.
The broken fluid is not able to flow back in time after the water-base fracturing carry out in a tight oil and gas reservoir. Water is easily absorbed into formation to induce a serious water-sensitive damage. The water-lock effect is serious due to the small-sized pore throat, strong capillary force, which leads to low productivity or even no productivity.
An effective way to develop tight oil and gas reservoir is reservoir stimulation and to improve recovery efficiency at a later stage. The conventional technology easily induces water-lock to decrease permeability, which damages the formation, thus the anhydrous fracturing is gaining more and more attention at presents because no water is needed during the fracturing. The research on the anhydrous fracturing has significant economic and social benefits. Both Chinese patent ZL201710416147.2 (a preparation method of liquid carbon dioxide thickener) and Chinese patent ZL201710480823.2 (a preparation method of supercritical carbon dioxide thickener) can be applied in fracturing fluid and oil-displacement agent for improve recovery efficiency for tight oil and gas reservoir. The two prepard thickeners contain ester groups which can be used under low temperature and water-free environment, but they become unstable and are easily hydrolyzed in the high-temperature oil and gas reservoir with active edge or bottom waters, which lead to the gradual decrease or even disappearance of thickening capacity. The present invention prepares a four-armed oligomeric CO2 thickener containing ether which improves the viscosity of the supercritical carbon dioxide and the stability in heat and water.
An object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of supercritical carbon dioxide thickener for tight oil and gas reservoir to avoid the damages to the reservoir by adopting the conventional exploring method.
