Abstract

The invention relates to application of cellulose nanofiber as a flow pattern regulator for drilling fluids. According to the technical scheme, the cellulose nanofiber applied to the flow pattern regulator for drilling fluids has an addition of 0.1-3.0% in a drilling fluid, by volume. The application has the advantages that cellulose chains are mutually tangled to from a three-dimensional-meshed spatial grid structure which arrives at 'viscosity enhancing and shear improvement'; the spatial grid structure is very easy to damage under the action of external force; after the external force is removed, the spatial grid structure restores; featuring 'rapid weak gelling', the spatial grid structure helps enhance shear dilution and thixotropy of a drilling fluid system, and therefore, rheological properties of the drilling fluid system are effectively controlled; the cellulase nanofiber provided herein as the flow pattern regulator for drilling fluids has good 'viscosity enhancing and shearimprovement' functions for a drilling fluid, and also features regenerability, zero toxicity, degradability, low cost and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of drilling fluid in the oil and natural gas industry, in particular to the application of a cellulose nanofiber as a flow regulator for drilling fluid. Background technique [0002] As the scope of drilling and development of oil and gas resources gradually moves towards deep and ultra-deep layers, ocean deep water, and unconventional formations with complex geological conditions, oil-based drilling fluids have gradually become the preferred drilling fluid system. With continuous improvement, a large amount of waste oil-based drilling fluid and oily drilling cuttings cannot be discharged directly. The harmless treatment process is complicated, the investment in equipment is large, and the treatment cost is high, which greatly limits the scope of its promotion and application. At this stage, the research and development of an environmentally friendly high-performance water-based drilling fluid system with the performa...
