Abstract:Steady rheological behavior of HAP aqueous solution was investigated by using dynamic rheometer. Effect of surfactant on HAP aqueous solution was also investigated. The results showed the apparent viscosity of HAP aqueous solution decreased and then kept constant with the increment of shear rate. A hydrophobic associating polymer fracturing fluid (HAP-M) were prepared by HAP and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Heat and shear resistance, viscoelasticity, thixotropy, proppant-carrying capacity and gel breaking property of HAP-M fracturing fluid were evaluated. HAP-M fracturing fluid has a good heat and shear resistance. Its viscosity can remain above 50 mPa•s after shearing at the rate of 170 s-1 for 90 min at the temperature of 90℃. According to the viscoelasticity results of HAP-M fracturing fluid, both of the storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″) do not change with the stress changing, and G' is larger than G″, which indicates that HAP-M fracturing fluid is of viscoelasticity and mainly elastic behavior. Furthermore, the thixotropy of HAP-M fracturing fluid is better than that of hydroxypropyl guar gum (HPG) fracturing fluid. The sedimentation rate is 1.18 mm/s on the condition of 40% sand ratio,which indicates that the fracturing fluid has a good proppant-carrying capacity. The gel breaker of ammonium persulfate can make the fracturing fluid gel break in 1 h at 80℃.The viscosity of gel breaking liquid is less than 5 mPa•s and the surface tension and interfacial tension of that are 25.14 mN/m and 0.56 mN/m, respectively.
