Drilling fluid lubricant, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lubricants, and particularly relates to a drilling fluid lubricant, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of shale gas in China, the number of horizontal wells with extended displacement and long horizontal sections is continuously increased, and due to the existence of a well inclination angle, the contact area between a drill string and a well wall is increased, so that the rotary friction resistance (torque) of the drill string is increased; the inclined shaft section and the horizontal section are positioned in the open hole section, so that the risk of instability of the well wall is increased to a great extent; and the shale is easy to absorb water and expand to cause instability of a well wall and bit balling, so that the drilling fluid with a strong inhibiting effect is required to be adopted. In order to ensure the stability of the well wall and reduce friction resistance and torque during drilling of the extended reach well, oil-based drilling fluid is mostly selected. Although the oil-based drilling fluid has a good inhibition effect, the oil-based drilling fluid has a large influence on the environment and high cost, and is not suitable for large-scale use.
The conventional water-based drilling fluid has the problem of insufficient inhibition capability, and only silicate drilling fluid has the characteristics of strong inhibition comparable to that of oil-based mud, wide applicable temperature range, low cost and environmental protection, is generally considered to be one of water-based drilling fluid systems with development prospects, and is widely applied to complex formations which are easy to leak and collapse. However, when the silicate drilling fluid is used for drilling in an inclined section and a horizontal section, the problems of large friction resistance and torque and serious pressure supporting exist, particularly when the density of a drilling fluid system is high, the sticking accident is very easy to occur, the friction force between a drill column and a well wall is rapidly increased, the torque is increased, the energy consumption is increased, the drill is stuck even twisted off in serious cases, and a lubricating agent is added to reduce the torque and the sticking coefficient of mud cakes.
The invention discloses a seawater silicate drilling fluid (with the authorization number of CN100584920C), which discloses a polymeric alcohol lubricant, wherein the lubricant can improve the rheological property of the silicate drilling fluid, but has poor high temperature resistance, and limits the application range of the silicate drilling fluid.
