Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of fracturing a subterranean formation with an aqueous fluid which contains a hydratable polymer and a crosslinking agent wherein the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases distally from the entrance site of the reservoir.
  • Hydraulic fracturing often requires the use of well treating materials capable of enhancing the production of fluids and natural gas from low permeability formations.
  • a fracturing treatment fluid containing a solid proppant is injected into the formation at a pressure sufficiently high enough to cause the formation or enlargement of fractures in the reservoir.
  • the fractures radiate outwardly from the wellbore, typically from a few meters to hundreds of meters, and extend the surface area from which oil or gas drains into the well.
  • the proppant is deposited in the fracture, where it remains after the treatment is completed. After deposition, the proppant serves to prevent closure of the fracture and to form a conductive channel extending from the wellbore into the formation being treated. As such, the proppant enhances the ability of fluids or natural gas to migrate from the formation to the wellbore through the fracture.
  • the viscosity of most fracturing fluids may be attributable to the presence of a viscosifying agent, such as a viscoelastic surfactant or a viscosifying polymer, in the fluid.
  • a viscosifying agent such as a viscoelastic surfactant or a viscosifying polymer
  • Conventional viscosifying polymers include such water-soluble polysaccharides as galactomannans and cellulose derivatives.
  • a crosslinking agent such as one which contains borate (or generates borate), titanate, or zirconium ions, in the fracturing fluid can further increase the viscosity.
  • the increased viscosity of the gelled fracturing fluid affects both fracture length and width, and serves to place the proppant within the produced fracture.
  • low viscosity fluids such as water, salt brine and slickwater
  • a viscoelastic surfactant or viscosifying polymer have been used in the stimulation of low permeability formations.
  • Such formations are also known as tight formations (including tight gas shale reservoirs exhibiting complex natural fracture networks).
  • tight formations including tight gas shale reservoirs exhibiting complex natural fracture networks.
  • Fractures propagated with low viscosity fluids exhibit smaller fracture widths than experienced with relatively higher viscosity fluids, resulting in development of greater created fracture area from which the hydrocarbons can flow into the high conductive fracture pathways.
  • Slickwater fluids are basically fresh water or brine having sufficient friction reducing agent to minimize tubular friction pressures. Generally, such fluids have viscosities only slightly higher than unadulterated fresh water or brine; typically, the friction reduction agents present in slickwater do not increase the viscosity of the fracturing fluid by any more than 1 to 2 cP. Such fluids are much cheaper than conventional fracturing fluids which contain a viscosifying agent. In addition, their characteristic low viscosity facilitates reduced fracture height growth in the reservoir during stimulation. Further, such fluids introduce less damage into the formation in light of the absence of a viscosifying polymer and/or viscoelastic surfactant in the fluid.
  • Such settling can occur as a result of insufficient slurry flow velocity and/or insufficient viscosity to suspend the proppant. Excessive proppant settling within a horizontal wellbore can necessitate cessation of fracturing treatments prior to placement of the desired volumes.
  • high pumping rates are typically employed to effectively suspend the proppant for transport within the horizontal wellbore section. However, high pumping rates can result in higher than desirable treating pressures and excessive fracture height growth.
  • a method of fracturing having particular applicability in tight gas reservoirs consists of mixing water and a viscosifying polymer, crosslinking agent and proppant and introducing the viscous fluid into the wellhead.
  • the viscosity of the fracturing fluid when pumped into the wellhead may be between from about 10 to about 120 cP at a temperature range between from about 80° F to about 125° F. Increased viscosity at the surface protects the surface equipment when pumping the suspended proppant into the wellhead.
  • the viscous nature of the fracturing fluid enables the fluid to transport the proppant to the perforating sites in the wellbore while minimizing settling.
  • the loading of the hydratable polymer in the fracturing fluid is from about 6 to about 18 pptg, preferably from about 6 to about 12 pptg.
  • the low loading of the viscosifying polymer in the fracturing fluid causes the viscosity of the fluid to rapidly decrease upon entering the entrance site of perforation.
  • the viscosifying polymer is preferably a hydratable polymer including galactomannan gums, guars, derivatized guars, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, starch, starch derivatives, xanthan, derivatized xanthan and mixtures thereof.
  • Particularly preferred viscosifying polymers are derivatized and underivatized guars having an intrinsic viscosity greater than about 14 dL/g, more typically greater than 16dL/g.
  • the method described has particular applicability in low permeability reservoirs, such as those having permeabilities between from about 10 nanodarcies to about 1.0 mD, including shale and limestone.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the invention illustrating the viscosity profile of a fracturing fluid from the time the fluid is blended until the fluid travels distally 1 ,000 feet from the reservoir perforation site.
  • FIGs. 2 through 6 are viscosity and temperature profiles over time of aqueous fracturing fluids defined herein.
  • the fracturing method uses a fracturing fluid which is prepared by mixing an aqueous fluid, a hydratable polymer, a crosslinking agent and proppant (and buffering agent, if needed).
  • the mixing may occur in a blender. Blending may occur on-the-fly. Alternatively, one or more of the aqueous fluid, hydratable polymer, crosslinking agent and/or proppant may be mixed downstream of the blender. Further, it is possible that the mixing of the components may occur downhole. [00021] In an embodiment, sufficient viscosity of the fluid is developed as the fluid is pumped into the wellhead such that proppant does may be transported to the wellhead and not settle from the fluid. As such, proppant settling in the manifold lines and the housing of the pump is minimized (to the extent that any settling occurs). Thus, unlike slickwater fluids, the fracturing fluids described herein minimize pump failures or damage to the pistons and/or manifolds of the pump.
  • the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid 100 feet from the reservoir perforation sites (or entrance site) may be less than 10 percent of the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the entrance site of the reservoir.
  • the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid 100 feet from the entrance site is less than 5 percent of the viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the entrance site.
  • the apparent viscosity of the fluid 200 feet from the entrance site is less than 1 percent of the viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the entrance site.
  • the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid 15 minutes after introduction into the entrance site may be less than 15% of the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the reservoir entrance site. More typically, the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid 15 minutes after introduction into the entrance site is less than 10% of the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the entrance site. Alternatively, the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid 30 minutes after introduction into the entrance site is less than 5% of the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid at the entrance site.
  • the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid may be less than 10 cP within 15 minutes after being introduced through the entrance site of the reservoir. More typically, the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is less than 5 cP within 15 minutes after being introduced through the entrance site. Alternatively, the apparent viscosity of the fracturing fluid is less than 3 cP within 30 minutes after being introduced through the entrance site.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a typical profile of the fracturing fluid defined herein as compared to fracturing fluids of the prior art. As illustrated, the fracturing fluid defined herein is labeled as "Fracturing Fluid".
  • the Fracturing Fluid is compared to a conventional crosslinked gel which does not contain a delayed crosslinking agent and a conventional crosslinked gel which does contain a delayed crosslinking agent.
  • the Fracturing Fluid is compared to slickwater. For each of the four fluids, it is assumed that an equivalent amount of proppant is in each fluid.
  • the apparent viscosity of each of the fluids is then compared at the blender (where the crosslinking agent, hydratable polymer, proppant, and optionally a pH buffering agent, are mixed with the aqueous fluid), the high pressure pump where the fluid is pumped into the wellhead, at the wellhead itself and at the wellbore.
  • the apparent viscosity is then shown at the perforation, 100 ft from the perforation, 200 ft from the perforation, 500 ft from the perforation and 1,000 ft from the perforation.
  • the Fracturing Fluid is shown as having the approximate apparent viscosity as the delayed and non-delayed crosslinked fluids at the blender and high pressure pump. Further, the Fracturing Fluid is shown as having the approximate apparent viscosity as the delayed crosslinked fluid at the wellhead. At the wellbore and at the perforating site (entrance into the reservoir); the viscosity of the Fracturing Fluid approximates the viscosity of the conventional crosslinked fluid which does not contain a delayed crosslinking agent.
  • the apparent viscosity of the Fracturing Fluid decreases.
  • the apparent viscosity of the Fracturing Fluid approximates the apparent viscosity of slickwater.

  • Such derivatized and underivatized guars are characterized by an intrinsic viscosity greater than about 14 dL/g, more typically greater than 16dL/g. This viscosity is indicative of higher molecular weight than that normally seen with derivatized and underivatized guars.
  • the guars are obtained by improvements in the processing conditions used to convert the guar split (seed endosperm) to a fine powder.
  • the cause of the increased molecular weight is due to improved processing conditions used to convert the guar split to a fine powder.
  • the guar split being about 0.3 cm in diameter, is partially hydrated and sheared through a roll mill to produce a flake.
