Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental method for oil drilling testing, in particular to an experimental device and an experimental method for crack plugging simulation. Background technique [0002] Lost circulation is the phenomenon that various working fluids such as drilling fluid, cement slurry, completion fluid and other fluids leak into the formation under the action of pressure difference during various downhole operations such as drilling, cementing, and logging. Drilling fluid loss is a common downhole complication in drilling operations. Lost circulation can occur in shallow, medium and deep layers, and can also occur in different geological ages such as from the Quaternary to the Paleozoic. Moreover, it may appear in strata of various lithologies. [0003] Once leakage occurs, not only the drilling time will be delayed, the drilling fluid will be lost, and the geological logging work will be disturbed, but it may also cause a series of ...
