Application of Fluorescence Microscope in Analysis of Spatial Structure of Mud Cakes

摘要: 滤饼的物理化学结构是影响其质量好坏的内在因素,现有研究仍主要侧重于对滤饼表面微观形貌的表征和元素组成分析方面,很少见到对滤饼物理化学结构空间分布特征方面的研究分析。提出了一种应用荧光显微镜并结合Adobe Photoshop CS6图像处理软件分析钻井液滤饼物理化学结构空间分布特征的新方法,该方法通过统计白色(即原蓝色荧光)区域的像素值并计算其占比,即可直观地反映出不同层位处被测处理剂的含量变化情况。以自制的聚合物基无机纳米复合材料LX-2为对象的研究结果表明,滤饼中被测聚合物荧光面积呈现出"表层 >中间层 >底层"的空间分布特征,常规烘干法测得的滤饼吸附水含量以及灼烧法测得的聚合物处理剂含量与之呈现了相似的空间分布特征。结果认为,在钻井液中适当加入能够在高温高压及高矿化度条件下依旧具有较强水化、成胶能力,且能够有效提高其滤饼吸附水能力的可变形类处理剂是增强钻井液滤失造壁性能的重要途径之一。该新方法将有助于进一步认识钻井液滤饼物理化学结构空间分布特征及其对钻井液滤失造壁性能的影响。

Abstract: The physicochemical structure of mud cake is the intrinsic factor controlling the quality of mud cakes,and fewer studies on the spatial distribution of the physicochemical structure of mud cakes have been conducted than the studies conducted on the surface microscopic morphology and element composition of mud cakes.A new method of studying the spatial distribution of the physicochemical structure of mud cakes using fluorescence microscope and the software Adobe Photoshop CS6 is presented.By measuring the pixels of the white (the original bluefluorescence) area and calculating their ratio,the concentration distribution of the tested additive in different layers of the mud cake can be seen directly.Using this method,a self-made compound (polymeric and nano) material,LX-2,was studied.The studies have demonstrated that the fluorescent area of polymers found in mud cakes takes on a spatial distribution of "surface layer >intermediate layer >bottom layer".The quantity of adsorbed water of mud cake measured with conventional drying method and polymer content in the mud cake measured with incineration method all take on a similar spatial distribution such as that just mentioned.It is believed that addition in drilling fluids of deformable additives that still retain strong hydration capacity and strong colloid-formation capacity,and effectively render mud cakes water-absorptivity at elevated temperatures,high pressures and high salinity conditions,will be an important way of enhancing the quality of mud cakes.This new method will help in further understanding the spatial distributioncharacteristicsof the physicochemical structure and its effects on the wall building capacity of drilling fluids,and this in turn,provides a new perspective and basis of improving the wall building capacity of drilling fluids. -
