[0002] Due to the increasing attention paid to environmental protection issues, new and stricter requirements have been put forward for the environmental performance of drilling fluids, requiring drilling fluids to be non-toxic, degradable, and not polluting the surrounding environment. Compared with oil-based drilling fluids, water-based drilling fluids have significant advantages in terms of good environmental protection and low cost. Statistics show that 80% of drilling projects use water-based drilling fluids. With the deep exploration and development of oil and gas resources, as well as the implementation of hot dry rock drilling and deep scientific drilling projects, the temperature of the formations encountered during drilling is getting higher and higher, which puts forward higher requirements on the temperature resistance of drilling fluids.

It has good lubricity and compatibility, is environmentally friendly, has stable rheological properties, and can effectively carry cuttings and clean wellbore. However, the amount of methyl glucoside added to the drilling fluid is large and the inhibition is insufficient.

[0063] Performance Testing

[0064] 1) The rheological filtration test was performed on the water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Example 1, Example 2 and the comparative example.

[0065] The test results of rheological filtration performance of the optimized environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system (i.e., the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system prepared in Example 1 and Example 2) and the original system of the comparative example are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1 Rheological filtration properties of environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid

[0067]

[0068] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the rheological filtration properties of the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Examples 1 and 2 are significantly improved compared to the comparative example. At the same time, it can be seen from Table 1 that after the formulation is adjusted and optimized, the system (density 1.7 g / cm 3 ~2.3g / cm 3 )'s rheological filtration properties meet the following requirements: plastic viscosity (PV) ≤ 50mPa.s, API water loss ≤ 5ml, initial shear 2-5Pa, final shear 3-10Pa, dynamic shear force (YP) 5-12Pa, meeting the requirements of oilfield drilling design.

[0069] 2) The lubricity performance of the water-based drilling fluids prepared using the formulations and preparation methods of Example 1, Example 2 and the comparative example was tested.

[0070] The lubrication performance test results of the optimized environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system (i.e., the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system prepared in Example 1 and Example 2) and the original system of the comparative example are shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2 Lubrication properties of environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid

[0072] system Clean water readings Sample reading Correction Factor Lubrication coefficient <![CDATA[Example 1 (ρ = 1.7 g / cm 3 )]]> 32.10 11.3 1.0592 0.1197 <![CDATA[Example 2 (ρ = 2.3 g / cm 3 )]]> 35.33 10.5 0.9624 0.1010 <![CDATA[Comparative example (ρ = 1.6 g / cm 3 )]]> 35.85 18.2 0.9484 0.1726

[0073] It can be seen from the test data in Table 2 that the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Examples 1 and 2 have good lubricity and are superior to the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of the comparative examples.

[0074] 3) The sedimentation stability test was conducted on the water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Example 1, Example 2 and the comparative example. The upper and lower density differences of the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Example 1 and Example 2 after hot rolling and standing for 24 hours were measured to determine their sedimentation stability.

[0075] The sedimentation stability test of the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system of the optimized system (i.e., the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system prepared in Example 1 and Example 2) and the original system of the comparative example is shown in Table 3, Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0076] Table 3 Results of sedimentation stability test of environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid

[0077]

[0078] According to the data in Table 3 and Figure 1 , Figure 2 It can be seen that the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 has no obvious stratification phenomenon after standing for 24 hours, and the density difference between the upper and lower layers of the system is low, indicating that the environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example and Example 2 has excellent sedimentation stability.

[0079] 4) The rheological properties of the water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Examples 1 and 2 were tested as a function of density / temperature.

[0080] The environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid systems prepared by the formulations and preparation methods of Example 1 and Example 2 were used to test the rheological properties of the two systems at different temperatures (25° C., 70° C., 80° C., and 90° C.). The results are shown in Table 4.

[0081] Table 4 Effect of temperature on rheological properties of environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid system

[0082]

[0083] From the test results in Table 4, it can be seen that with the increase of density, the viscosity and shear force of the water-based drilling fluid system prepared by the formulation and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 increase, but both are within a controllable range. At the same time, at different temperatures, the rheological properties of the water-based drilling fluid system prepared by the formulation and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 fluctuate less with increasing temperature, showing better temperature resistance stability.

[0084] 5) A gas invasion test was performed on the water-based drilling fluid prepared using the formulation and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2.

[0085] The water-based drilling fluids prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 were respectively taken, and methane gas was continuously introduced at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm to simulate the gas invasion process. After gas injection for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes, the rheological properties and density changes of the test system were tested. The test results are shown in Table 5.

[0086] Table 5 Effect of methane gas invasion on the rheological properties of environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluids in the optimized system

[0087]

[0088] It can be seen from Table 5 that during the continuous injection of methane gas, the viscosity and shear force of the water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formulation and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 did not change significantly, indicating that the system has excellent gas invasion prevention ability and degassing effect.

[0089] 6) Wellbore stability evaluation

[0090] The first and second sandstone cuttings of the reservoir of Yongqian 3-1-H2 well were selected and processed into two specifications of 2-5 mm and 100 mesh. The water-based drilling fluid prepared in Example 1 was evaluated by rolling dispersion test (90°C / 16h) and linear expansion rate test (ρ=1.7 g / cm 3 ) on the ability to inhibit the hydration and dispersion of reservoir cuttings, and compared with the water-based drilling fluid and clean water prepared in the comparative example, the recovery rate results are as follows Figure 3 The linear expansion rate results are shown as Figure 4 As shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formulation and preparation method of Example 1 has excellent inhibition ability, can increase the cuttings recovery rate to more than 66%, and reduce the cuttings expansion rate to less than 3.2%.

[0091] 7) Reservoir protection performance evaluation

[0092] A tight sandstone core was selected to test the gas permeability of the water-based drilling fluid system prepared in Example 1 before and after contamination, and to investigate the reservoir protection performance of the water-based drilling fluid system prepared by the formula and method of Example 1. The core contamination method refers to the core damage evaluation method for tight oil and shale oil in SY / T 6540-2021, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0093] ① After the core is washed and dried, the initial permeability K is tested in the forward direction. g1 ;

[0094] ② Load the core into the core holder in reverse, place it in the contamination kettle, and add drilling fluid;

[0095] ③ Seal the kettle, increase the surrounding pressure to 4.5MPa, and raise the temperature to 90℃.

[0096] ④After the temperature reaches the specified value, adjust the pollution pressure difference to 3.5MPa and adjust the speed to 300s -1 , dynamic pollution for 125 minutes. Record the dynamic filtration loss during the pollution process.

[0097] ⑤After the pollution is over, take out the core and test the core permeability K in the forward direction g2 .

[0098] Permeability recovery value R d Calculate as follows:

[0099]

[0100] In formula (1), R d is the dynamic permeability recovery value; K g1 is the initial gas permeability, 10 -3 μm 2 ; K g2 is the core permeability after damage, 10 -3 μm 2 .

[0101] The core usage information is shown in Table 6.

[0102] Table 6 Core information for pollution experiment

[0103]

[0104] The experimental results are shown in Table 7 below.

[0105] Table 7 Pollution test results

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] From the test results in Table 7, it can be seen that after the core was contaminated by the original system drilling fluid on site, the permeability decreased from 0.4205mD to 0.2575mD, and the damage rate was as high as 38.77%. This shows that the original system environmentally friendly drilling fluid has poor reservoir protection performance and cannot form a better plugging layer, resulting in serious blockage of pore throats and cracks inside the core. At the same time, according to the effect diagram before and after the core pollution ( Figure 5), it can also be seen that the drilling fluid has deep invasion traces. After the core was contaminated by the optimized system (Example 1), the permeability changed slightly, from 0.3087mD to 0.2511mD, and the damage rate was 18.66%, which was much lower than the damage rate of the original system (Comparative Example). This shows that the optimized system (Example 1) has better reservoir protection performance. On the one hand, the system can form a good plugging layer and reduce the invasion depth (such as Figure 6 ), on the other hand, the defoaming agent introduced into the system reduces the surface tension of the filtrate, which helps the filtrate to flow back and restore the permeability.

[0109] In summary, from the above content we can know:

[0110] 1. The environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 has excellent rheological filtration, lubricity and sedimentation stability, plastic viscosity of 25mPa.s~47mPa.s, API water loss of 2.4-2.8mL, initial shear 3-3.5Pa, final shear 5-9Pa, dynamic shear force 10-11Pa.

[0111] 2. The environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example 1 and Example 2 has excellent temperature stability, and its rheological properties fluctuate less with increasing temperature. It also has excellent gas intrusion prevention and degassing effect. During the continuous methane injection process, the system performance is stable.

[0112] 3. The environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid prepared by the formula and preparation method of Example 1 has excellent inhibitory and reservoir protection properties, can effectively inhibit the hydration and dispersion of shale, and the permeability damage rate of dense sandstone core is 18.66%, which is lower than that of the original system.

[0113] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
