Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing, as an oil-water well stimulation and injection technology, is particularly important in the production and stimulation of low-permeability oil and gas fields, and the performance of the fracturing fluid directly affects the success of the fracturing operation. Compared with traditional water-based fracturing fluids, clean fracturing fluids have the advantages of strong sand-carrying ability and easy gel breaking with no residue. Aiming at the problem of poor temperature resistance and shear resistance of the clean fracturing fluid, based on previous research, this paper selects a high-temperature-resistant clean fracturing fluid system and evaluates the performance of the system. The research results show that the system has better rheological properties, better sand-carrying performance, shorter gel-breaking time, and less damage to the reservoir.
