Performance Evaluation and Site Application of a Hydrophobic Long-Chain Ester-Based CO2 Fracturing Fluid Thickener by Jianqiang Lu, Meilong Fu, Liu Xu, Qian Huang, Yan Zheng

“…In the case of shearing for 125 min under conditions of 170 S−1, 40°C, and 20 MPa, when the thickener level increased from 1% to 2%, fracturing fluid viscosity increased and then decreased, varying within 50–150 mPa·s, and the viscosity-enhancing effect was evident; under conditions of 20°C and 12 MPa, as the flow rate increased, drag reduction efficiency reached 78.3% and the minimal proppant settling speed was 0.09 m/s; under conditions of 40°C and 20 MPa, drag reduction efficiency reached 77.4% and the proppant settling speed was 0.08 m/s; with the increases in temperature, pressure, and injection amount, core damage rates of the thickener varied within 1.77%–2.88%, indicating that basically no damage occurred. This study is of significant importance to the development of CO2 viscosity enhancers and CO2 fracturing operation.…”
