Abstract: Borehole wall strengthening, as an early-stage borehole wall plugging technology, has been widely applied and developed in recent years, while the influencing factors and mechanism of the technology is still not revealed yet. In a study conducted to analyze the influencing factors and the mechanism ...
Abstract: Borehole wall instability has been a problem frequently encountered in horizontal shale gas drilling with water base drilling fluids. A new type of water base drilling fluid has been developed for use in shale gas drilling in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. Higher alcohols and potassium salt of sulfon...
Abstract: Technical problems encountered in deepwater drilling, such as low temperature, narrow drilling window, formation of gas hydrate by shallow natural gas and hole sloughing etc. have posed rigorous requirements to drilling fluids. Using GTL Saraline 185V as the base fluid, a deepwater synthetic base dr...
Abstract: Hollow plastic microbeads made of polystyrene previously developed are easy to agglomerate when used as a lightweight agent in field drilling fluids, and are thus easy to be bond with drilled cuttings, thereby being removed by solids control equipment and resulting in a gradual increase in mud weigh...
Abstract: Asphaltene and humic acid products widely used in oil base muds (OBMs) have deficiencies such as seriously viscosifying the OBMs, high concentration requirement, limited filtration control performance and poor high temperature stability. An aqueous acrylic resin, WAR, was developed for use in OBMs t...
Abstract: CLSD is a drilling detergent lubricant made from waste grease under predetermined synthesis process and technical parameters. Laboratory evaluation of CLSD showed that it had good compatibility with other additives, and rendered no bad effect on mud rheology. It moderately reduced API filter loss of...
Abstract: Filter loss reducers presently in use had poor stability and filtration control ability in drilling deep and ultra-deep wells. To overcome these problems, a terpolymer filter loss reducer has been synthesized in laboratory with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), acrylamide (AM), and ...
Abstract: Based on the Monte Carlo random modeling theory, a 3-D discrete fracture network formation model has been established in an effort to solve the mud loss problem taking place in complex fractured formations. Using the Bingham model drilling fluid, a model describing the mud losses in networked fractu...
Abstract: To satisfy the need for filtration control performance test with dense low permeability media, a test required for shale gas drilling, a simulated low permeability mud cake formed in shale formation has recently been prepared using barite of millimicron in particle size and commercial barite as soli...
Abstract: The Well Mashen-1 is a key wildcat well of the Exploration Branch of Sinopec located at the high position of the Malubei Structure in the Tongnanba tectonic zone, northeast Sichuan. Completed at a depth of 8418 m, the well was designed to explore the Longwang Temple Formation of Lower Cambrian Serie...
Abstract: Waste oil base muds (OBMs) are disposed of presently by burial or reinjection. Potential pollution to environment and waste of large amount of mineral oil are the problems inusing these disposal methods. A study has been conducted on the recycling of waste OBMs from the Platform 202H3. The waste mud...
Abstract: In horizontal drilling in the Fauqi oilfield, the angle build and hold sections are generally at depths between 3 350-4 480 m, the Cretaceous system, which mainly composed of limestone, mudstone and shale. Long time of hydrocarbon development has resulted in low formation pressure. During drilling, ...
Abstract: The KPAM polymer drilling fluid presently used in horizontal drilling in Yanchang Oilfield has low inhibitive capacity and poor rheology, resulting in frequent pipe sticking and inability to exert weight on bit during drilling. To improve the performance of the KPAM polymer drilling fluid, a cationi...
Abstract: Drilling fluid additives should have their range of use clearly defined to make the best use of them, and great attention should be paid on this issue. Take the SMP-Ⅰ and SMP-Ⅱ as examples, the application characteristics, production technology, and the mechanisms of reducing filtration rate and res...
Abstract: A serious concern in air drilling is the invasion of formation water into the hole, viscosifying the dry cuttings into viscous lumps which are adhered at the surface of the drill string and borehole wall, resulting in pipe sticking. Based on the mechanism that fluid with low surface tension can pene...
Abstract: The particle sizes of oil well cement are closely related to its performance and use. Oil well cements of different particle size distribution obtained with three grinding methods have been studied for their early hydration exothermic rate (rate of hydration heat liberation), hydration product of se...
Abstract: While cementing in the low pressure and easy to leak hole section, low formation bearing pressure、leakage and channeling often lead to low cementing quality. So a low density (1.30 g/cm3) working fluid which can be solidifiable and prevent leakage was studied to solve the problem. The working fluid ...
Abstract: The Well Mashen-1 is the deepest well found in Asia, the gas zone of which has been sealed with 146.1 mm liner string. Difficulties encountered during drilling included HTHP, small annular clearance, low displacing efficiency, narrow drilling window, and severe U-tube effect. In combating these prob...
Abstract: The Yanchang tight reservoir in the Changqing has shallow burial depth and low static bottom hole temperature. Conventional cement slurries used in this area produced highly brittle set cements with strengths that are developed very slowly. In large-scale stimulated reservoir volume fracturing, the ...
Abstract: In cementing the φ177.8 mm liner string in high pressure gas wells in the Block Gaoshiti-Moxi of southwest oilfield, problems such as active gas zones, narrow drilling windows, poor compatibility of fluids and large temperature difference at high temperatures, were encountered. Technical measures we...
Abstract: The use of high performance low density ceramic proppants in reservoir fracturing not only avoids the settling of proppant particles during their migration in fractures, thereby effectively lengthening the fracturespropped and enhancing the fluid conductivity of the fractures, it also helps relax th...
Abstract: The main reservoirs in the Bohai oilfield are characteristic of big permeability differences between different production layers, and high heterogeneity. This has resulted in the acid solution flowing mainly into the high permeability layers, further aggravating the permeability differences, making ...
Abstract: Crystallization point, a main performance index of composite brine completion fluids, can only be obtained through laboratory experiments because most of the articles and handbooks only give the crystallization point of the single salt. If the crystallization point of a composite brine can be calcul...
