Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum drilling, and in particular relates to a drilling fluid hydration inhibition evaluation device and a testing method. Background Art
[0002] There are many natural microcracks in shale formations, and their interaction with water-based drilling fluid is an important cause of wellbore instability. When drilling into shale formations with water-based drilling fluid, the shale will undergo strong hydration after absorbing water, which promotes the generation of secondary cracks. The cracks intersect and connect to form a more complex network structure, which reduces the strength of the shale and ultimately causes wellbore instability. Therefore, adding hydration inhibitors to water-based drilling fluids can weaken the expansion of microcracks, effectively slow down the hydration effect of shale, and thus improve wellbore stability.
[0003] At present, there are many methods to evaluate the hydration inhibition of drilling fluids, such as shale expansion test, rolling recovery rate test, bentonite immersion test, etc., which are the most intuitive experiments to evaluate the hydration inhibition effect of drilling fluids, but they are unable to judge and analyze the expansion of microcracks inside shale. Yan Xinxin et al. used a laser particle size analyzer to measure the particle size distribution of clay in "Study on the Method of Evaluating Polyol Inhibitors by Particle Size Distribution" to evaluate the effect of drilling fluid hydration inhibition, but the experimental results were greatly affected by the stirring time and stirring rate, and the instrument was expensive and could not be popularized. Luo Xingshu et al. used the CST determination method to evaluate the hydration inhibition of drilling fluids in "Experimental Study on the Specific Surface Area Determination Method of Shale". This method is a simple, time-saving and highly accurate method, but the experimental results have poor repeatability. Liu Zhendong et al. used the acoustic wave velocity measurement method to evaluate the inhibitory effect of shale fracture expansion in the "Study on the Evaluation Method of Nano-Plugging Effect". This method uses the difference in the transmission rate of acoustic waves in the core after the action of nanomaterials to compare and analyze the changes in the strength of the core blocks, but the data repetition rate is low and the reliability is poor, so it can only be used to qualitatively analyze the shale inhibition effect. The patent with publication number CN109342187A obtains the changes in mechanical strength parameters through triaxial tests to evaluate the inhibitory performance of shale drilling fluid. The patent with publication number CN104569149A measures the relative rock strength of core slices through an acoustic wave velocimeter to evaluate the inhibitory property of shale drilling fluid. However, neither of the above two methods can realize real-time detection of the expansion of microcracks in shale when it comes into contact with drilling fluid.
[0004] The shortcomings of the existing technical solutions are summarized as follows: ① The instruments required for the evaluation method are expensive and heavy, and cannot be extended to laboratory and field applications; ② The evaluation method has limitations, the test results are greatly affected by the rock samples, the data accuracy is low, and the repeatability is poor; ③ The current evaluation methods rarely consider the expansion of microcracks in shale when it comes into contact with drilling fluid in a high temperature and high pressure environment.
