摘要: 固相含量对钻井液的性能影响很大,往往需要使用化学絮凝方法并结合固控设备来维持适宜的固相含量。为有效去除钻井液中的固相颗粒,研制出了一种高效环保的钻井液絮凝剂——阳离子明胶。并对其絮凝效果和作用机理进行了分析评价。评价过程及结果如下:①通过核磁氢谱和电位测量对合成的产物进行了化学表征;②通过浊度实验、粒度分析、电位测量等方法评价了该絮凝剂的絮凝效果,并对其絮凝机理进行了分析。结果表明:阳离子明胶对高岭土絮凝效果显著,在20 mg/L时可使高岭土分散液的剩余浊度百分率下降至4.0%,可有效包裹、桥联黏土颗粒,使高岭土粒径显著增大。同时,该絮凝剂也可使钻井液中固相颗粒显著增大,结合固控设备可使钻井液固相含量由22.5%降至12.6%,其絮凝效果优于常用的水解聚丙烯酰胺类絮凝剂。Abstract: Solids in a drilling fluid greatly affect its properties and are generally kept to an appropriate level by chemical flocculation and solids control equipment, A high performance environmentally friendly drilling flocculant, which is a cationic gelatin, has recently been developed for solids removal from drilling fluids. In laboratory experiment, HNMR and electric potential measurement were used to chemically characterize the gelatin samples synthesized; turbidity experiment, particle size analyzation and electric potential measurement were used to evaluate and analyze the working mechanisms of the final product of the cationic gelatin. It was found that the cationic gelatin has good flocculation effect on kaolinite particles; 20 mg/L of cationic gelatin in a kaolinite suspension decreased its percent residual turbidity to 4.0%. The cationic gelatin is able to effectively encapsulate and bridge clay particles, remarkably increasing the sizes of kaolinite particles. The cationic gelatin is also able to remarkably increase the sizes of solid particles in a drilling fluid, and can reduce the solids content of the drilling fluid from 22.5% to 12.6% when used in conjunction with solids control equipment. The flocculating performance of the cationic gelatin developed is better than the commonly used flocculants such as hydrolyzed polyacrylamide.
