Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although water-based foam drilling fluids have been widely used in controlling fluid loss, reducing differential pressure sticking, and preventing and plugging leaks, they still cannot effectively solve the problem of reservoir damage when drilling into water-sensitive formations. The study of fluid is of great significance to effectively solve problems such as shale hydration and reservoir protection during drilling
[0004] At present, the research on oil-based foam drilling fluid has just started at home and abroad, and some progress has been made. Generally speaking, there are still problems such as unstable foam system, poor temperature resistance, and weak anti-pollution ability. In addition, many foam base fluids are used. It is a highly toxic diesel, which is not easy to biodegrade in the environment, causing environmental pollution

Abstract

The invention discloses environmentally-friendly high-temperature-resistant synthetic base foam drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof. The drilling fluid comprises the following components in parts by weight: 1-3 parts of organic soil, 1-2 parts of high-temperature oil-based foaming agent, 1-3 parts of self-made high-temperature oil-based foam stabilizer and 92-97 parts of synthetic base liquid namely alpha-olefin. The dispersion medium of the synthetic base foam drilling fluid is foam liquid using alpha-olefin as the main component, the dispersed phase is air, and the drilling fluid is prepared through high-speed stirring. The drilling liquid system has stable performance, good heat resistance and antipollution capability and good compatibility to the reservoir; and the drilling fluid can be used in deep well underbalanced drilling and can be used to effectively inhibit the hydration and expansion of the shale, stabilize the well wall, prevent well leakage and protect the oil and gas formation. In addition, the synthetic base liquid namely alpha-olefin and the foaming agent are both non-toxic, are biodegradable and have no harmful effect on the environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling, in particular to an environment-friendly high temperature resistant synthetic base foam drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the increasing demand for oil and gas resources, coalbed methane, shale gas, ultra-low pressure formations and mature oil and gas fields in the middle and later stages have also become important targets for exploration and development, and it is necessary to develop low-density drilling fluids. At present, the main low-density drilling fluids are mist fluid and water-based foam. The use of low-density drilling fluid can effectively reduce fluid loss, reduce pressure differential sticking accidents, prevent lost circulation, increase ROP, and minimize drilling fluid loss. Damage to oil and gas reservoirs. The liquid phase of water-based foam drilling fluid is generally fresh water or brine, and the gas phase is generally air, ...
