Preparation and performance analysis of bisamido-based cationic surfactant fracturing fluid for coal seam water injection

Coal seam water injection fracturing can achieve the gap formation of the coal seam and increase the porosity of the coal seam. The water injection fracturing fluid wetting the coal body can wet the coal body in advance, reducing the generation of coal dust during coal mining, as well as play a preventive role in many coal mine accidents and optimize the safety state of the coal mine. To further improve the water injection efficiency of the coal seam. In this paper, erucic acid, N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine and epichlorohydrin were used as raw materials to synthesize a bisamido cationic surfactant under acidic conditions, and mixed with a KCl solution to prepare a clean fracturing fluid that can be used in the water wetting of a coal seam. The functional groups and microstructure changes of the product are observed by FTIR and SEM. Related performance experiments show that the product has the advantages of good shear stability viscosity, low filtration loss, good gel breaking performance and strong wettability. The analysis of the cleanability shows that the gel breaking liquid has a low residue content and good compatibility. Therefore, the product is an ideal clean fracturing fluid for water injection fracturing of coal seam. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
