At present,CO2fracturing technology faces many challenges of low viscosity and poor sand carrying capacity. The thickened liquid CO2 fracturing fluid(TLCFF)was prepared by add a new thickener FAL-16(fluorine ether carboxylate surfactant) and auxiliary additive FAL-31(complexing metal ion(aluminum)organic salt)at the dosage of 1% into the liquid CO2,and the rheological properties of the TLCFF were evaluated by a high pressure pipeline rheological experimental device. The results showed that,the viscosity of the liquid CO2 fracturing fluid could be improved significantly by adding 1% FAL-16 and 1% FAL-31,and the viscosity of the TLCFF was up to 20 mPa·s(20 MPa,0℃,393 s-1),which was 86—498 times higher than that of pure CO2. The TLCFF showed the characteristic of shear thinning,the viscosity decreased exponentially with the increase of temperature. With the increase of temperature,the flow index n of the TLCFF increased,while the consistency coefficient k of the TLCFF decreased.
