Shale gas is a clean and efficient unconventional natural gas energy, which has gradually become a new hotspot in global oil and gas exploration and development. Hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the core technologies in shale gas production, which consumes a lot of water resources and produces a lot of polluted flowback fluid. How to effectively deal with the treatment of flowback fluid is a crucial issue. By analyzing the characteristics of fracturing flowback fluid, this paper lists the treatment technologies of fracturing flowback fluid, which can relieve the worries of shale gas exploitation and wide application.
