Disclosed in the present invention are a wear-resistant high-strength lightening admixture for a
drilling fluid, and a preparation method therefor. The lightening admixture comprises the following components in percentages by
mass (on the basis of all the components totaling 100%): 65-75% of
silicon dioxide, 5-10% of aluminum
oxide, 5-10% of diboron
trioxide, 5-10% of an
alkaline earth metal oxide, 5-10% of an
alkali metal oxide, 0.2-3% of a rare-earth element, 0-2% of
ferric oxide, 0-2% of
manganese dioxide, 0-2% of
zirconium oxide, 0-2% of
zinc oxide, and 0.2-5% of other
trace element materials. The preparation method comprises: crushing,
grinding and granulating all the components to prepare precursor particles; and pre-treating the precursor particles, then subjecting same to high-temperature hollow-sphere formation, and then performing a surface treatment to prepare a wear-resistant high-strength lightening admixture for a
drilling fluid. The product has the advantages of being
environmentally friendly an obvious density reducing effect, lubricating and resistance-reducing functions, no loss of MWD signals, etc.; moreover, the problems of low
compressive strength, proneness to breakage, poor
wear resistance, etc., of existing low-density hollow glass bead lightening admixtures are solved.
