Abstract

A CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid contains a surfactant, an auxiliary agent, water, and CO2, wherein CO2 is liquid and/or supercritical CO2. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid provided by the invention does not flow back after completion of fracturing construction, and the gel breaking fluid displacement is carried out after soak for a period of time to improve the tight oil recovery ratio. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid exerts the “one-agent multi-purpose” function of sand carrying, CO2 energization and oil displacement, surfactant imbibition and oil discharge of a fracturing-displacement system in different development and production stages, and achieves the dual goals of expanding the utilization degree of tight oil and improving the displacement efficiency of the tight oil, which can effectively reduce costs and achieve the goal of unified, highly efficient and green development of oil and gas fields.
