Summary Boron-based crosslinkers are used commonly to increase viscosity and to improve fluid-loss control and proppant transportability of guar and its derivative fluids. Boron crosslinkers are usually preferred because of their ability to reheal after shearing and their favorable environmental properties. More-efficient crosslinkers capable of crosslinking fluids with reduced polymer loading have always been of great interest, to reduce both the formation and the proppant-pack damage from polymer residues and to reduce overall fluid cost, especially with the reduced availability and higher cost of guar. Recently, we reported in paper SPE 140817 (Sun and Qu 2011( the synthesis of polyaminoboronates, bulky compounds containing multiple boron sites and capable of interacting with multiple polysaccharide strands to form more complex crosslinking networks at lower polymer loadings than conventional guar fluids. However, to improve the marketability and acceptance of the product, a lower-cost combination of raw materials is sought. In addition, a delaying mechanism to improve the control of the fluid-viscosity buildup can make the product fit into broader applications. A readily available polyamine was used as the base scaffold, and boron was incorporated by means of intermediate borate formed in the condensation reaction between boric acid and ethylene glycol to replace volatile and highly flammable trimethylborate. New chemistry was developed to produce more-controlled crosslinking. The resulting compound exhibited desired adjustable delay characteristics. This paper shows the effect of a series of new crosslinkers in terms of delay properties. The testing results of fluids with a 20%-lower polymer loading, crosslinked with the new crosslinker, are reported and compared with those of conventional fluids. Analysis and discussion of the chemistry, crosslinker performance, and economics are presented.

The fluid loss control additive plays a key role in reducing reservoir damage and improving the cementing quality of an oil well. Aiming at good fluid loss control ability and excellent dispersibility, a new dispersive type fluid loss control additive was synthesized through orthogonal experiment with 2-acrylamido-2- methyl propane sulfonic acid, acrylamide, N, N-dimethylacrylamide and maleic anhydride. The orthogonal experiment result shows that the influence on the properties of FLCA decreases in the order: PH value > monomer concentration > monomer mole ratio > initiator concentration > temperature. The result indicates that the optimal conditions for FLCA were 4/2.5/2.5/1 of mole ratio of AMPS/AM /NNDMA/MA, 32.5% total monomer concentration in deionized water, 1.0% (by weight of monomer) ammonium persulfate/sodium bisulfite, 4 of PH value, 40°Cof temperature. The synthesized copolymer was identified by FTIR analysis. The results show the dispersive type fluid loss control additive has excellent dispersibility, fluid loss control ability, thermal resistant and salt tolerant ability. As the temperature increases, the thickening time of the slurry containing the synthesized additive reduces. The copolymer is expected to be a good fluid loss control additive.

The retarding side effect and the compatibility with other additives are the main problems that limit the field application of the synthesized fluid loss control additive (FLCA). The effect of the type and content of carboxylic acid groups on the retarding side effect of FLCA and the compatibility between FLCA and the retarder AMPS-IA synthesized using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and itaconic acid (IA) was studied in this paper. The type and content of carboxylic acid group have a great influence on the fluid loss control ability, the compatibility with retarder and the retarding side effect of FLCA. FLCA containing IA or maleic acid (MA) shows better compatibility with retarder than FLCA containing acrylic acid, but the retarding side effect of FLCA containing MA is weaker than that of FLCA containing IA. Thus, MA is the most suitable monomer for synthesizing FLCA having good compatibility with retarder AMPS-IA.
