Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the anti-compression performance of microfoam drilling fluid foam in the prior art is insufficient. Under the condition of high pressure at the bottom of the well, the volume of the foam shrinks and even the air escapes from the foam, and the system lacks the ability to form a film and seal on the well wall. As a treatment agent for micro-fractures on the borehole wall, the micro-bubble drilling fluid system has insufficient plugging performance on micro-fractures under high temperature and high pressure at the bottom of the well, and the leakage prevention performance needs to be further strengthened

Abstract

The invention provides a micro-foam drilling fluid which comprises a base fluid and a treatment agent; the treating agent comprises a foam reinforcing agent and a wall protecting agent. The key components of the micro-foam drilling fluid provided by the invention are the foam reinforcing agent and the wall protecting agent, and the foam reinforcing agent and a foaming agent can generate a synergistic effect, so that the wall thickness of micro-bubbles is increased, the air core sealing property in the micro-bubbles is improved, and the stability and compression resistance of the micro-bubblesunder high-temperature and high-pressure conditions are enhanced; the wall protecting agent can be adhered to the surface of a well wall to form a film and seal micro-cracks of the well wall, so thatthe wall protecting agent and micro-bubbles generate a synergistic effect, the pressure-bearing plugging performance of the micro-foam drilling fluid is remarkably improved, and the drilling fluid leakage probability of the micro-foam drilling fluid in the drilling process of a low-pressure leaky stratum is reduced. The micro-foam drilling fluid d provided by the invention has the outstanding advantage of good leakage-proof property, and is especially suitable for low-pressure leaky stratums.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drilling fluid, in particular to a microbubble drilling fluid. Background technique [0002] At present, in the process of low-pressure or underbalanced drilling in domestic oil fields, foam drilling fluid is often used to reduce the density of drilling fluid and ensure the safety of drilling construction. However, the ordinary drilling fluid foam used in the prior art has a large particle size, which seriously affects the water supply efficiency of the mud pump, and requires supporting gas injection equipment (such as compressors, production and gas injection equipment, etc.), and the drilling cost is high. Microfoam drilling fluid is a kind of microfoam with a diameter between 25 and 200 μm formed by surfactants and copolymers. It has low density, can be used repeatedly, and is not affected by MWD (measurement while drilling) and drilling fluid motors. The impact of other downhole tools, no need to add...
