1. A method for preparing a suspended sand dragging fiber for efficient placement of proppant in a fractured well, comprising:
S1, dispersing nanoparticles into a solvent A, adding a coating agent and a flexibilizer to the solvent A, stirring for 0.5 h to 1 h and aging for 24 h to obtain a surface treatment agent; wherein the coating agent includes one or more of a silane coupling agent, a polyurethane emulsion, and a styrene-acrylic emulsion, the flexibilizer includes one or more of polyethylene glycol 600, azelaic acid, and octanoic acid, the nanoparticles include one or more of nanoparticle silicon dioxide, nanoparticle titanium dioxide, nanoparticle kaolin, and nano alumina, and the solvent A includes one or more of ethylene glycol butyl ether, glycerol, and water;
wherein a mass percentage of the coating agent is in a range of 0.1% to 10.0%, a mass percentage of the flexibilizer is in a range of 0.1% to 3.0%, a mass percentage of the nanoparticles is in a range of 0.1% to 2.0%, and a remaining is the solvent A, with a total of 100%;
S2, adding a cationic surfactant to a solvent B, adding an alkyl polyether siloxane to the solvent B after the cationic surfactant is dissolved in the solvent B, and stirring for 5 min to 30 min to obtain a finishing agent; wherein the cationic surfactant includes one or more of dodecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyldimethylamine oxide, ethylenediamine ditallow dimethyl ammonium chloride and alkyl polyether amines, and the solvent B includes one or more of acetone, ethanol, and deionized water;
wherein a mass percentage of the cationic surfactant is in a range of 5% to 15.0%, a mass percentage of the alkyl polyether siloxane is in a range of 5% to 15.0%, and a remaining is the solvent B, with a total of 100%;
S3, transferring the surface treatment agent to a sizing trough of a sizing machine, sizing polyester fibers through double padding and double squeezing using the sizing machine, and drying and curing to obtain surface-modified fibers; and
S4, diluting the finishing agent to obtain a finishing agent solution, and treating the surface-modified fibers with the finishing agent solution to obtain the suspended sand dragging fiber.
