Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for treating recyclable waste drilling fluid, and more particularly to an integrated method for restoring the performance of waste drilling fluid, belonging to the technical field of resource utilization and reuse of recyclable waste water-based drilling fluid. Background Technology
[0002] Drilling fluid, as a core material in oil drilling operations, plays a crucial role in suspending cuttings, balancing formation pressure, cooling and lubricating drill bits and tools, and cleaning the wellbore, directly impacting the safety and efficiency of drilling operations. However, recyclable drilling fluids often deteriorate in performance during use due to factors such as drill cuttings contamination, chemical degradation, and formation fluid intrusion, making direct recycling impossible. Direct disposal requires solid-liquid separation and harmless pretreatment, leading to high costs in oil and gas exploration and development. Therefore, developing technologies for the performance restoration and reuse of recyclable waste drilling fluids to achieve resource recovery and utilization has become an urgent need for the green and low-carbon development of the oil drilling industry.
[0003] Relevant patent document: CN103015927A discloses a method for optimizing and reusing waste drilling fluid, including the step of maintaining and storing waste drilling fluid. The method involves preparing 0.1-0.3% bactericide, 0.1-0.2% oxygen scavenger, 0.1-0.2% alkalinity control agent, and 0.05-0.2% dispersant, based on the mass percentage of the waste drilling fluid, for later use. Under normal temperature and pressure, the following procedure is followed: every four days, add the bactericide in the above proportions to the waste drilling fluid and perform a total bacterial count test using 3M test strips; every five days, add the oxygen scavenger in the above proportions to the waste drilling fluid; every seven days, add the alkalinity control agent in the above proportions to the waste drilling fluid and measure the pH value of the waste drilling fluid to maintain it between 10 and 11; every seven days, add the dispersant in the above proportions to the waste drilling fluid. This method is particularly suitable for horizontal well drilling operations, greatly alleviating environmental pressure and reducing drilling fluid costs. It solves the problem of effectively removing micron- and submicron-sized solid phases from drilling fluids, a problem present in existing technologies. CN119264881A discloses a treatment agent and system for restoring the performance of recyclable drilling fluid. The treatment agent includes an activator, a modifier, and a stabilizer for restoring the performance of recyclable drilling fluid. The system includes a mixer connected to the inlet pipe of the recyclable drilling fluid. The inlet pipe is connected to the activator solution storage, modifier solution storage, and stabilizer solution storage via pipelines. The mixer is equipped with a stirring device to mix the activator, modifier, and stabilizer into the recyclable drilling fluid to be treated and stir evenly. The mixer uses a stirring device with counter-rotating internal and external rotation. This technical solution requires dedicated processing equipment (processing system), has generally low processing efficiency, increases processing costs, and is difficult to scale up for industrial production.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies still have their limitations and have failed to comprehensively and efficiently solve the core problems of performance restoration and large-scale reuse of recyclable waste water-based drilling fluids. There is an urgent need for an integrated treatment method that is highly efficient, low-cost, and does not require complex specialized equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The recyclable waste drilling fluid used in the experiment of this invention (integrated treatment method) was from the same batch. Its initial performance was tested and recorded. Then, the recyclable waste drilling fluid was treated using Examples 1, 2, and 3 of this invention, and the performance of the recyclable waste drilling fluid after treatment by this invention was tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0054]
[0055] As shown in Table 1, after treatment using the above-described Examples 1, 2, and 3 of the present invention (integrated treatment method), the core performance parameters of the recyclable waste (water-based) drilling fluid were precisely optimized: apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, static shear force, flow index, and high-temperature, high-pressure filtration loss (150℃) all showed a significant decreasing trend; while the dynamic-plastic ratio (dynamic shear force / plastic viscosity) increased from 0.18 to 0.36-0.39, effectively improving the drilling fluid's suspension and rock-carrying capacity and wellbore cleaning ability. All performance parameters were restored to the required range for drilling operations, realizing the resource-based recycling of recyclable waste water-based drilling fluid (specifically, achieving precise restoration and recycling of the core performance of the drilling fluid), significantly reducing the comprehensive cost of on-site preparation and waste treatment of drilling fluid during oil and gas exploration and development (significantly reducing the treatment cost of waste drilling fluid and drilling costs), and providing an efficient and feasible technical solution for the green and low-carbon development of the oil drilling industry.
[0056] Compared to the recyclable drilling fluid performance restoration treatment agent and system disclosed in CN119264881A (reference document 1), the processing procedure of this invention is simpler.

Reference document 1, however, requires specialized processing equipment (processing system), has lower processing efficiency, increases processing costs, and is difficult to scale up for industrial production. By mixing the activator, modifier, and stabilizer described in this invention into the recyclable waste drilling fluid, the activator, modifier, and stabilizer work synergistically, resulting in the aforementioned superior technical effects. Experiments show that, compared to reference document 1, under the same experimental conditions, this invention reduces the processing cost of recyclable waste drilling fluid by more than 13% and increases the processing efficiency by more than 15%.
[0057] In summary, the above embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated treatment method for the performance restoration of waste drilling fluid, which achieves the goal of efficient performance restoration and reuse of recyclable waste drilling fluid. The treatment effect is stable and reliable (good treatment effect), while reducing treatment costs and improving treatment efficiency. It solves the problem that recyclable waste water-based drilling fluid is difficult to reuse and has good prospects for industrial application.
