The Research of Konjac Glucomannan Fracturing System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fracturing fluid was obtained by putting the organic borate and organic titanium crosslinkers into the base fluid of konjac glucomannan. The properties of the fracturing fluid were also discussed. The system was very stable until the temperature reach to 90°C. The system also performed good shear resistance ability when the shear rate was 170s-1 at 80°C for half an hour. The residue content after gel breaking and the suspended sand performance both satisfied the requirements of the operation.
