The low sand-carrying problem caused by the low viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) limits the development of supercritical CO2 fracturing technol. In this study, a mol. simulation method was used to design a fluorine-free solvent-free SC-CO2 thickener 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (HBD). Simulations and experiments mutually confirm that HBD-1 and HBD-2 have excellent solubility in SC-CO2. The apparent viscosity of SC-CO2 after thickening was evaluated with a self-designed and assembled capillary viscometer. The results show that when the concentration of HBD-2 is 5 weight% (305.15 K, 10 MPa), the viscosity of SC-CO2 increases to 4.48 mPa. Combined with the capillary viscometer and core displacement device, the low damage of SC-CO2 fracturing fluid to the formation was studied. This work solves the pollution problems of fluoropolymers and co-solvents to organisms and the environment and provides new ideas for the mol. design and research of SC-CO2 thickeners.
