文章摘要
Abstract: Fracturing fluid property play a critical role in developing unconventional reservoirs. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show fascinating potential for property improvement of clean fracturing fluids (CFFs) due to their low-price, low-toxicity, chemical stability and flexible designability. In this work, DESs were synthesized by mixing hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and a given hydrogen bond donor (HBD) to explore their underlying influence on CFF properties based on the intermolecular interactions. The hydrogen-bonding, van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between DES components and surfactants improved the CFF properties by promoting the arrangement of surfactants at interface and enhancing the micelle network strength. The HBD enhanced the resistance of CFF for Ca2+ due to coordination-bonding interaction. The DESs composed of choline chloride (ChCl) and malonic acid show great enhancement for surface, rheology, temperature resistance, salt tolerance, drag reduction, and gel-breaking performance of CFFs. The DESs also improved the gel-breaking CFF-oil interactions, increasing the imbibition efficiencies to 44.2% in 74 h. Adjusting HBAs can effectively strengthen the intermolecular interactions (e.g., HBA-surfactant and HBD-surfactant interactions) to improve CFF properties. The DESs developed in this study provide a novel strategy to intensify CFF properties.
