Definitions
- This invention relates to the fracturing of subterranean formations and particularly, although not exclusively, relates to a method of fracturing a subterranean formation and materials therefor.
- Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas
- a subterranean geologic formation i.e. a "reservoir”
- This provides a partial flowpath for the oil to reach the surface.
- oil to be "produced” that is travel from the formation to the wellbore (and ultimately to the surface)
- This flowpath is through the formation rock which has pores of sufficient size, connectivity, and number to provide a conduit for the oil to move through the formation.
- One known method of stimulation involves injecting chemicals through the wellbore and into the formation at pressures sufficient to actually fracture the formation, thereby creating a large flow channel through which hydrocarbons can more readily move from the formation and into the wellbore.
- Hydraulic fracturing involves breaking or fracturing a portion of the strata surrounding the wellbore, by injecting a fluid into the wellbore directed at the face of the geologic formation at pressures sufficient to initiate and extend a fracture in the formation. More particularly, a fluid is injected through a wellbore; the fluid exits the wellbore through holes (perforations in the well casing) and is directed against the face of the formation (sometimes wells are completely openhole where no casing and therefore no perforations exist, so the fluid is injected through the wellbore and directly to the formation face) at a pressure and flow rate sufficient to overcome the minimum in situ stress to initiate and/or extend a fracture or fractures into the formation. Often, a fracture zone, i.e. a zone having multiple fractures, or cracks in the formation is created, through which hydrocarbon can more easily flow to the wellbore.
- Guar based fracture fluids use solid fluid loss reducing agents to prevent "leak off” (a process wherein fluid extends further into the fracture face than desired, thereby reducing the fluid pressure) .
- solid fluid loss reducing agents to prevent "leak off” (a process wherein fluid extends further into the fracture face than desired, thereby reducing the fluid pressure) .
- the introduction of solids to address the leak off problem can reduce the resultant permeability of the fracture zone and reduce production from the fracture once the well is brought back into production after the treatment .
- a method of hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation comprising the step of:
- the treatment fluid formulation comprises a third polymeric material which comprises a second polymeric material cross-linked by a first polymeric material, wherein said first polymeric material comprises: (i) a first polymeric material having a repeat unit of formula
- a and B are the same or different, are selected from optionally-substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic groups and at least one comprises a relatively polar atom or group and R 1 and R 2 independently comprise relatively non-polar atoms or groups; or (ii) a first polymeric material prepared or preparable by providing a compound of general formula
- said first and second polymeric materials are reacted to form said third polymeric material prior to the treatment fluid formulation being injected via the wellbore into the subterranean formation.
- the treatment fluid formulation prior to the treatment fluid formulation being injected, it has attained at least 50% of the maximum viscosity attainable for the formulation at the temperature at which it is to be injected into the formation. Preferably, it has attained at least 65%, more preferably 90%, especially about 100% of its maximum viscosity.
- said first and second polymeric materials are substantially completely reacted to form said third polymeric material prior to injection into the formation.
- Said treatment fluid formulation preferably has a viscosity at 25°C in the range 50-500 cp, more preferably in the range 200-500cp, at a shear rate of 100s "1 .
- the relatively high initial viscosity of the formulation may advantageously facilitate suspension of proppants (and other) materials therein.
- Said treatment fluid formulation preferably has a viscosity at 200°F in the range 20-100cp, more preferably of greater than 50 cp, measured at a shear rate of 100s "1 .
- the relatively high viscosity at high temperature may help to maintain fracture pressure, the effectiveness of the fracture process and also to minimise fluid leak off.
- Said treatment fluid formulation is preferably aqueous. It may include at least 90wt%, preferably at least 95wt% water. It preferably includes 90 to 99wt% water.
- Said treatment fluid formulation preferably includes one or more proppants.
- the formulation is compatible with any common proppant size required.
- the proppant may have a size in the range 20-40 mesh.

- a method of recovering oil from a subterranean formation comprising: hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation as described according to said first aspect; allowing an area fractured to close down whilst being propped by a proppant; wherein as a result of said close down, a breaker means releases an active material which is arranged to lower the viscosity of the treatment fluid formulation of the first aspect; and allowing oil to flow to the surface after the viscosity of the treatment fluid formulation has been lowered.
- fracturing of a subterranean formation may be achieved using a hydrogel.
- the gel is formed from a gel precursor formulation which comprises an aqueous formulation of poly (1, -di ( - (N-methylpyridinyl) ) -2, 3- di (4- (1-formylphenyl) butylidene), poly (vinyl alcohol) and a suitable proppant, in the presence of an acid catalyst.
- the gel may be prepared at the surface with a viscosity of greater than 200 cp measured at 100s "1 and then injected into the subterranean formation under high pressure to fracture the formation.
- Example 1 Preparation of poly (1, 4-di (4- (N- methylpyridinyl) ) -2, 3-di (4- (1-formylphenyl) butylidene This was prepared as described in Example 1 of PCT/GB97/02529, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- an aqueous solution of greater than 1 wt% of 4- ( 4-formylphenylethenyl) -1- methylpyridinium methosulphonate (SbQ) is prepared by mixing the SbQ with water at ambient temperature. Under such conditions, the SbQ molecules form aggregates. The solution was then exposed to ultraviolet light.
- a blend may be prepared comprising 0.125 wt% of the butylidene polymer of Example 1 and 2 wt% of 88% hydrolysed poly (vinylalcohol) of molecular weight 300,000 in water.
- the poly (vinylalcohol) is added slowly with constant stirring to an aqueous solution of the butylidene polymer so as to disperse the poly (vinylalcohol) .
- Final dissolution may be achieved by maintaining the solution at a temperature of 60°C for a period of 6 hours.
- Example 2 To the aqueous solution of the polymer blend described in Example 2 was added 0.01 wt% of 0.25M hydrocholoric acid. This causes the butylidene and the poly (vinylalcohol) polymers to react according to the scheme below.
- the concentration of acid affects the speed of the reaction and therefore the development of the visco- elastic properties.
- the formulation described is injected into a wellbore under high pressure. Once the natural reservoir pressures are exceeded, the fluid initiates a fracture in the formation which generally continues to grow during pumping and the formulation enters the fracture. On removal of the pressure, the fracture tends to close down but is restricted from doing so by the proppant which prevents complete closure of the fracture and thereby helps to maintain open a channel which extends from the fracture zone to the wellbore.
- the fracture will crush the breaker (since its particle sizes will be about the same as or greater than those of the proppants) and, consequently, sodium metaperiodate is released which contacts the gel and causes it to break down due to cleavage of 1,2-diol linkages of the moiety in the gel derived from polyvinylalcohol. Consequently, the viscosity of the gel is substantially reduced whereupon, when the wellbore is opened to the surface oil or gas in the fracture zone can push the broken gel to the surface.
- a summary of the properties of a gel formed as described herein includes: (a) It is stable in typical sea water obtained from the North Sea. (b) It is not affected detrimentally by temperatures of 150°C and above. (c) It is stable at temperatures below 0°C and may be prepared and/or applied in cold climates as well as hot. (d) It is not affected detrimentally by pressure of 7000 psi and above. (e) Good fluid loss properties can be achieved at relatively low solids content.
