AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for treating oil-based drilling fluids are complex and costly, and reinjection methods may lead to formation contamination and energy waste.

Method used

A device comprising multiple wellbores and reaction chambers was designed to ignite underground reservoirs by injecting a gasifying agent and carry out a gasification reaction, converting waste oil-based drilling fluid into combustible gas, which is then cracked and recovered using underground high temperatures.

🎯Benefits of technology

It reduced processing costs, decreased formation pollution, enabled the recycling of waste oil-based drilling fluids, and improved the utilization rate of abandoned reservoirs.
