An anionic surfactant clean fracturing fluid was synthesized and its main performance was studied. The viscosity of fracturing fluid increased with increasing dosage of anionic surfactant. And the viscosity of fracturing fluid increased first, and then decreased with increasing concentration of KCl. The viscosity reached maximum 360 mPa•s when the KCl content is 2.7%. The results showed that the fracturing fluid had best temperature resistance and shear resistance performance under the condition of 100°C and at the shearing rate of 170 s-1. The sedimentation velocity of sand in the fracturing fluid are about 11.124, 18.840 mm/min at the temperature of 80°C and 120°C respectively. It indicated that the fracturing fluid has a better sand-carrying performance. The viscosity of fracturing fluid decreased below 5 mPa•s during 70 minutes when the dosage of kerosene was 3%, and the surface tension of the breaker fluid is 26.10 mN/m while the interfacial tension is 0.73mN/m. The low surface tension can meet the requirements of operation. The damage rate to the core is 7.65% and the fracturing fluid has lower damage to core than guar gel.

The lignin-based cationic/anionic surfactant CA-SLs have a stronger ability to lower the surface tension at the air/water interface compared with SL–PEG, but a weaker one than CTAB.

The effect of an divalent electrolyte Ca2+ on the flocculation of two different concentrations of anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) with Al3+ has been investigated at different molar ratios Al3+ to SDBS at 298.15 K. The results showed that the flocculation characteristics of 0.01 mol•L-1 SDBS (above the critical micelle concentration CMC) and 0.001 mol•L-1 SDBS (below the CMC) were obviously different with an increase of dosages of Al3+. The z-average size of flocculate of 0.01 mol•L-1 SDBS with Al3+ decreased particularly with the pre-addition of Ca2+,It suggested the formation of the complexion Ca(SDBS)2. At optimization flocculation areas at 298.15K, pH values were all around 3.5 in the flocculation systems SDBS/Al3+ and Ca2+/SDBS/Al3+ whether the SDBS concentration above or below the CMC. The pre-addition of Ca2+ slightly affected other flocculation parameters of SDBS/Al3+ systems such as zeta potential, surface tension, conductivity and pH.

Kinetic studies through stopped-flow spectroscopy were undertaken in the dilute solution range of anionic surfactants where pronounced rate enhancement or inhibition of Ni2+-ligand complexations is often observed at surfactant concentrations much below the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The results are interpreted in terms of Ni-surfactant micelles as the agents responsible for the rate changes in dilute surfactant solution. At higher surfactant concentrations these micelles are transformed into mixed micelles (counterion and size changes), eventually becoming normal surfactant micelles close to the CMC. Surface tension, dye solubility, conductivity, and fluorescent probe investigations support this interpretation.Key words: micellar catalysis, sodium dodecyl sulfate, micelles, critical micelle concentration, premicelles, Ni2+-ligand complexations.
