Preparation of linear frac concentration with 4-Vinyl-2, 6-Dimethoxyphenol. (2016) - Ramana Murthy, R.V.V.
Abstract: We studied about 4-vinyl-2, 6-Dimethoxyphenol is a solvent (canola oil), it was produced from seed of several variety of the rape plant, those plants, namely Brassica napus L (or) field mustard, turnip rape it is also used as a source of Biodiesel. Canola oil is used as a solvent in linear frac concentration. Anti-settling agents, neutralizing agents like sodium hydroxide (or) sodium acetate (or) sodium bicarbonate will maintain the pH, mixed together formed frac concentration. So this study focuses on the way to mix the fracturing fluid, compositions of fracturing fluid how to conduct Linear (gel) and breaker test. These polymers are dry powders that hydrate or swell when mixed with an aqueous solution and form a viscous gel. Degradation pattern observed from the breaker test showed that reduction in gel viscosity depends on time, temperature and Breaker concentration. This linear gel will use in Oil and gas wells during fracturing on-shore operations for (CBM or Coal-Bed Methane gas zones)to enhanced the oil & gas production.
