Preparation of oil shale residue proppant

Preparation of oil shale residue proppant research hydraulic fracturing technology is an efficient technology of oil field production. The process is to use the high pressure pump group on the ground, the high viscosity of fracturing fluid to greatly exceed resin coated frac sand displacement of the absorptive capacity is injected into the borehole, at the bottom to suppress high pressure; When the pressure is greater than the wall near the formation stress and formation rock tensile strength, near the bottom of the formation of cracks; Continue to inject with natural gas fracturing sand fluid, crack extension forward and is filled with fracturing proppant, shut-in after fracture closure on the filling of proppant, finally have emerged near the bottom hole formation has certain geometry dimension and flow conductivity of fracture, is advantageous for the crude oil around faster into the bottom of the well, achieve the goal of production. Hydraulic fracturing proppant as the important filling medium, its performance directly affects the whole well production capacity. So, the research of high performance oil proppant for oilfield production is very necessary. Oil fracturing proppant * main points of natural quartz sand, artificial ceramsite proppant, resin coated proppant (i.e., resin coated proppant) three categories, the effect of coated sand and resin coated ceramsite proppant and points two kinds. Natural quartz sand because of the sphericity is bad, low intensity, but the lowest cost, so generally used in great quantities in the shallow well; Artificial ceramsite proppant due to its good sphericity, high strength, corrosion resistance is strong, as well as good conductivity, by a large number of used for medium and deep well fracturing..

Shale gas reservoir fracturing proppant settlement

Shale gas reservoir fracturing proppant settlement regularity and the experimental research on shale gas development is a system, a vast amount of engineering, its high technical requirements and more money. Horizontal well development and technology of hydraulic fracturing is the core of the shale gas development. Than with conventional guanidine gum fracturing fluids, gliding water to form complex fracture network, greatly improve the effect of well stimulation. As a result, the shale gas reservoir fracturing slippery water often used as a fracturing fluid, large displacement, low viscosity construction method. Low viscosity, but due to slippery water carrying capacity is poor, proppant settlement regularity with different conventional petroleum proppant gum fracturing fluid. At present, China about shale gas reservoir, fracturing proppant settlement rule research focuses on the theoretical aspects, construction technology and main draw lessons from foreign practices, or software simulation based on the experience, lack of effective means of experiment; Especially for gliding water carrier proppant settlement, the migration regularity of research is still in its infancy, lack the necessary indoor experiment and system theory to guide the shale gas reservoir fracturing design and construction. To this end, the author designed a model device, and through the device simulation gliding water carrier in the fracture process, studies the construction capacity, seam width, proppant sand particle size and viscosity of fracturing fluid and than within the fracture parameters such as Hydraulic Fracturing Proppants settlement and the influence of the conveyance speed, so as to provide reference for establishing reasonable construction parameters.

Ceramsite oil fracturing proppant is reviewed

Oil fracturing proppant plant is keep deep strata rock fracture crack state support, its role is to support two wall cracks, to stop pump injection, in bottom hole pressure drop to less than closure pressure leads to the fracture of oil and gas Wells eye has remained open. Injection in oil and gas well fracturing proppant purpose is to improve the permeability of reservoir capacity, increase oil production. Since 1947, when the hydraulic fracturing technology was successfully in the United States has more than 60 years of development, proppant material also changed a lot. 50 ~ 60 s of the 20th century, aluminum ball, plastic ball, walnut shell, glass used as proppant material, but due to their own defects have been eliminated. The proppant used at present is mainly quartz sand and ceramsite. Current situation of the development of oil fracturing well fracking proppant as oil fracturing proppant, quartz sand has a relatively low density, is advantageous for the construction of pumping, the advantages of low price. However, there is also a strength is low, easy to broken, sphericity and low surface roughness, is not conducive to guide the oil permeability shortcomings. Therefore, quartz sand is only applicable to shallow Wells, low closure pressure the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas layer. For the deep low permeable reservoirs, as a result of the buried depth of oil and gas layer is relatively great, formation closure pressure is high, the temperature is high, the main use of artificial ceramsite proppant.

Hydraulic fracturing proppant backflow control measures are discussed

Hydraulic fracturing proppant backflow control measures to investigate the hydraulic fracturing is the main measures to increase productivity and augmented injection of low permeable oil fields, but in most cases, the fracturing proppant after construction with the drainage or oil and gas production and backflow, fracturing fluid friction proppant will be out of the cracks. Problems mainly has two aspects: one is not choose the reasonable time to control the fracturing proppant migration, resulting in a large number of proppant backflow to the shaft (spit out fracturing sand), or in the near wellbore zone and broken, thus make the reservoir area proppant little or distribution is not reasonable. It largely reduce the fracture diverting capacity, serious can lead to the failure of the fracturing operation; Second, flowback flow control is bad, make the frac sand companies of proppant rushed out of the mouth of the well, stab put nozzle and other equipment damage. Buried in the production of perforation pump barrel, even lead to higher maintenance costs and frequent downtime. Therefore, in the process of fracturing operation, must maximize fracturing fluid flowback rate, decrease fracturing fluid to the formation of pollution, and to minimize the proppant backflow, improve the effect of hydraulic fracturing, carrying out a research into the proppant backflow control measures, to improve the level of low permeable oilfield development is of far-reaching significance. The main factors influencing the proppant backflow is analysed in terms of single grain of proppant, when its under free state, the little energy can be brought into the wellbore, this kind of situation usually occurs at the beginning of the drainage; And when the proppant in the seam.

But the shale gas reservoir permeability is low, mining is difficult. As the world's energy consumption rising, including shale gas, unconventional energy more and more be taken seriously. The United States and Canada and other frac sand already realized shale gas commercial development. Shale gas reservoirs usually assumes the physical characteristics of low porosity, low permeability, flow resistance than conventional natural gas, all well need to implement reservoir fracturing can be mined. On the other hand, the recovery rate is lower than the conventional gas shale gas, conventional gas recovery rate over 60%, and shale gas is only 5% ~ 60%. Low yield affects people enthusiasm for it, the United States there have been some advanced technology can improve the yield of shale gas well. China's shale gas reservoir compared with America, such as shale gas reservoirs of the sichuan basin buried depth than the United States, the depth of shale gas in the United States in 800 ~ 2600 meters, and the embedded depth of shale gas reservoirs of the sichuan basin in 2000 ~ 3500 meters. The increase of the depth of the shale gas will undoubtedly again on our immature technology adds to the difficulty.

Shale gas development has extensive geological significance

Shale gas development has extensive geological significance, exists in nearly all of the basin, but due to large buried depth, gas saturation difference respectively have different industrial value. Chinese traditional sense of the fracture of the shale gas, shale reservoirs, shale fracture reservoirs, fractured reservoirs is fracturing proppant with this pretty, but I did not consider which does not take into account the adsorption mechanism of the primary attributes of natural gas, and understanding on the subject for free phase of gathered in the cracks of the shale oil and gas. Therefore belongs to incomplete in the sense of shale gas. As a result, China's concept of mud shale fractured reservoir in today's connotation of shale gas is not identical with the United States, respectively in the hydrocarbon source of material content, storage phase, are large differences in the characteristics and composition of China's major basins and regions shale gas resource is about 15 trillion - 30 trillion cubic meters, 28.3 trillion cubic meters of the same with the United States, a huge economic value. On the other hand, long production period is also a remarkable characteristics of shale gas. Shale gas frac sand companies life generally up to 30 ~ 50 years, or longer.
