[0002] During the drilling process of shale gas horizontal wells, fragile zones and other complex formations, water has a dispersing effect on clay, and the use of conventional water-based drilling fluid systems is prone to clay hydration and dispersion, causing wellbore instability, especially in formations with a high content of shale, which can easily affect downhole construction safety. The continuous phase in oil-based drilling fluid is diesel (or white oil), and clay does not hydrate and disperse in oil-based drilling fluid, which is more conducive to wellbore stability; and compared with water-based drilling fluid, oil-based drilling fluid has good lubricity, low friction, and is conducive to reservoir protection. It has been widely used in drilling in various complex formations. At present, the oil-based drilling fluid used on site is an oil-in-water emulsion system with an oil-water ratio generally between 7:3 and 9:1.
