  • A high performance synthetic drilling fluid has been developed to deal with narrow safe drilling window associated with high temperature high pressure wells. The synthetic base drilling fluid was formulated with three main additives:a new high temperature emulsifier which is resistant to high temperatures to 232℃, a high temperature filter loss reducer and a high temperature lipophilic clay, which were developed through molecular structure design and synthesis. Laboratory experimental results showed that the emulsifying capacity of the emulsifier was as high as 95%, and the emulsion formed with the emulsifier had droplets of evenly distributed sizes. The synergistic action among the filter loss reducer, the emulsifier and the lipophilic clay further improved the emulsion stability, HTHP rheology and filtration control property of the drilling fluid. Compared with conventional synthetic drilling fluids, this drilling fluid has those advantages such as low viscosity, low gel strength, good suspending capacity, superior high temperature stability and low HTHP filter loss. These advantages are helpful to resolving drilling problems associated with high structural strength of drilling fluid such as overpressure of pump during pumping and at startup, severe fluctuation of equivalent circulation density (ECD) resulting in lost circulation and wellbore collapse. The use of the new synthetic base drilling fluid has provided technical support for the safe operation of HTHP wells in petroleum exploration and development.
