摘要
As the development of unconventional oil and gas resources goes deeper, the stimulation of reservoirs goes deeper year by year. Flow in longer wellbores poses a challenge to the stability of drag-reduction performance of fracturing fluid. However, at present we have limited understanding of the mechanism of drag-reduction damage caused by shear flow, especially the microscopic mechanism. Therefore, in this work, the variation pattern of drag reducer solution performance with shear rate has been analyzed by using a high precision loop flow drag test system. The test results show that there is a critical shear rate for the performance damage of the drag reducer solution, and high strength shear flow and cumulative shear flow time are the main factors leading to the performance degeneration of the drag reducer. Based on the nanometer granularity distributions, rheological properties and microscopic structures observed with a transmission electron microscope of drag reducer solutions subjected to shear flows of different velocities, it is confirmed that the damage to the microscopic structure of the solution is the main reason leading to its performance degeneration. The destruction of the microscopic structure causes the drag reducer solution to degrade in non-Newtonian characteristics, so it becomes poorer in its capability of reducing turbulent dissipation and drops in drag-reduction capability. This research can provide a reference for improving and optimizing drag-reduction capability of fracturing fluid.
