[0009] Measurement of the reduction rate of lubrication coefficient and the reduction rate of high-temperature lubrication coefficient Step 1: Take 8 high-speed stirring cups, add 400 mL of distilled water, 20 g of sodium bentonite and 0.8 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate into each cup respectively. After high-speed stirring for 20 min on a high-speed stirrer, seal and cure the 8 cups of slurry at a temperature of 24°C ± 3°C for 24 h to obtain the base slurry, which is reserved for later use.

[0010] Step 2: Take 4 portions of the cured base slurry, each with a volume of 400 mL.

[0011] Step 3: Calculate the reduction rate of lubrication coefficient The calculation formula (3) for the reduction rate of lubrication coefficient is as follows: In the formula, η c is the reduction rate of lubrication coefficient, expressed as a percentage (%); ω is the lubrication coefficient of the base slurry; ω c is the lubrication coefficient of the sample-added slurry. Calculate the reduction rates of lubrication coefficient of the Sample No. 1-added slurry, Sample No. 2-added slurry and Sample No. 3-added slurry respectively according to this formula and record them.

[0012] Step 4: Take another 4 portions of the cured base slurry, each portion being 400 mL, for standby. Take the 1st portion of the base slurry and add it to a high-speed stirring cup. After high-speed stirring for 5 minutes, pour the base slurry into a curing tank, and place it in a high-temperature roller furnace at 180 °C and roll for 16 h. Then take it out and cool it to room temperature. Then pour it back into the high-speed stirring cup, stir at high speed for 5 minutes, and measure the lubrication coefficient of the base slurry after high temperature, and make a record. Take the 2nd portion of the base slurry and add it to the high-speed stirring cup. Add 2 mL of high-temperature resistant and environmentally friendly oil-based drilling lubricant I (Sample I) to the base slurry. After high-speed stirring for 5 minutes, pour it into the curing tank, and place it in a high-temperature roller furnace at 180 °C and roll for 16 h. Then take it out and cool it to room temperature.

After high-speed stirring for 5 minutes, pour it into the curing tank, and place it in a high-temperature roller furnace at 180 °C and roll for 16 h. Then take it out and cool it to room temperature. Then pour it back into the high-speed stirring cup, stir at high speed for 5 minutes to obtain Sample II added slurry. Measure the lubrication coefficient of the added slurry after high temperature, and make a record. Take the 4th portion of the base slurry and add it to the high-speed stirring cup. Add 2 mL of high-temperature resistant and environmentally friendly oil-based drilling lubricant III (Sample III) to the base slurry. After high-speed stirring for 5 minutes, pour it into the curing tank, and place it in a high-temperature roller furnace at 180 °C and roll for 16 h. Then take it out and cool it to room temperature. Then pour it back into the high-speed stirring cup, stir at high speed for 5 minutes to obtain Sample III added slurry. Measure the lubrication coefficient of the added slurry after high temperature, and make a record.

[0013] Step 5: Calculate the reduction rate of the lubrication coefficient after high temperature The calculation formula (3) for the reduction rate of the lubrication coefficient after high temperature is: In the formula, η c is the reduction rate of the lubrication coefficient after high temperature, expressed as a percentage (%); ω is the lubrication coefficient of the base slurry after high temperature; ω c is the lubrication coefficient of the added slurry after high temperature. Calculate the reduction rates of the lubrication coefficients of Sample I added slurry, Sample II added slurry and Sample III added slurry after high temperature respectively according to this formula, and make records.
