Abstract


The efficiency of the fracturing process depends on many factors, including the compatibility of the fracturing fluid with the reservoir system. After hydraulic fracturing and well flushing, part of the destroyed gel may remain in the reservoir formation and react with process fluids during geological and technical measures. As a result of the reactions, the processes of so-called repeated or "secondary crosslinking" of the destroyed gel can occur, and, as a result, the colmatation of the pore space of the reservoir reservoir by "crosslinking" systems. To establish the fact of "secondary crosslinking", rheological studies are carried out to analyze changes in the dynamic viscosity of samples of the destroyed gel with the addition of process fluids. As a result of the work, the risks of repeated "crosslinking" for a system based on a xanthan biopolymer were assessed.

Key words:

hydraulic fracturing, crosslinked system, rheology, compatibility, process fluids, destroyed gel, hydrogen index, crosslinking, geological and technical measures
