Description:
BCG-CO 2 fracturing fluid system is especially suitable for shale gas stimulation with advantage of minimizing the actual water consumption, reducing the damage to formation, recovering more rapidly and efficiently, etc. A major objective of this article is to ascertain the rheological properties of BCG-CO 2 fracturing fluid in a wide range of experimental conditions for guiding the selection of fracturing parameters. The experimental results showed that as the temperature reaches 35 °C, the effective viscosity of BCG-CO 2 fracturing fluid has an obvious increase. Apparently the shear rate change below 1000 s −1 is sharper than that above 1000 s −1 . The effective viscosity presents an increase trend with increasing foam quality under foamed conditions. It has been concluded that the key factors influencing rheological characteristics of BCG-CO 2 fracturing fluid are both temperature and foam quality, and the exponential...
