摘要

In response to the current shortage of sand carrying stabilizers (CSF) in fracturing fluids, poor sand carrying capacity, and susceptibility to reservoir contamination. In this paper, the CSF with three-dimensional network structure and easy degradation characteristics were prepared by solvent substitution method and secondary modification. The CSF were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and their microscopic morphology was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The thickening performance, temperature and shear resistance, static sand-carrying performance, and self-degradation performance were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that the CSF were in the size range of 200–500 nm and had a “fork-like” structure, and the CSF could significantly increase the apparent viscosity (AV) of the fracturing fluid, and 1% CSF could increase the AV by 1.57 times. The temperature and shear resistance tests showed that the AV without CSF fracturing fluid decreased by 48.9% when sheared for 60 min at 170 s−1 and 120 °C. The AV of 0.5% CSF fracturing fluid decreased by 25%. The static sand-carrying experiments showed that the proportion of ceramic grains in 0.5% CSF fracturing fluid settling in 240 min was 5.6%, and the settling rate was 0.39 × 10–3 mm/s. Self-degradation experiments showed that the CSF can be completely degraded at 90 °C and within 15 days. Sand-carrying fracturing stabilizers can significantly improve the effectiveness and economics of fracturing operations.
