The invention provides a nano filming plugging agent for a drilling fluid. The nano filming plugging agent comprises the following components: silicon oxide, polyurethane granules, a dispersant and analcohol. By controlling proportions and preparation processes of raw materials, the prepared nano filming plugging agent for the drilling fluid is an odorless white liquid, the density is 1.05g/cm<3>, the granularity of solid particles is 50-400nm, the nano filming plugging agent for the drilling fluid is compressed in the surface of a wall well or microcracks of mud shale to form a semi-permeable isolation film, that is, a complete protection layer is formed on the wall well, fluids can be prevented from entering a stratum, effective pressure can be increased, ineffective pressure can be reduced, a wall well stabilizing function can be effectively brought into play, the drilling fluid blocking capability can be improved, the filter loss of the drilling fluid can be reduced, the quality and plugging performance of mud cakes can be improved, the inhibition of the drilling fluid can be improved, a liquid in a shaft can be prevented from entering stratum pores and cracks, the probabilityof differential pressure adhesion and tool jamming can be reduced, and in addition, the nano filming plugging agent is simple, convenient and easy in control of preparation processes, convenient andrapid to use, and high in popularization and application value.
