[0028] From the thermal stability results in Table 4, it can be seen that the viscosity, shear and fluid loss of the system change little with the increase of rolling time, and have good thermal stability. From the temperature resistance test in Table 5, it can be seen that the viscosity of the low-density water-based drilling fluid is greatly reduced at 150°C, and the water loss of HTHP is greatly increased. Water, can resist temperature 120 ℃.

Abstract

The invention relates to low density water-based drilling fluid for drilling into shale. The fluid overcomes the problem of wellbore instability when the water-based drilling fluid is used. The drilling fluid adopts the technical scheme that the drilling fluid comprises the following raw materials: 30-50g bentonite for the drilling fluid, 1.5-2.5g sodium carbonate, 5-10g sodium hydroxide, 15-20g shear strength improving agent SZT, 2-5g zwitterionic polymer coating agent FA367, 10-15g fluid loss agent CG810S-T, 0.2-1g drilling fluid rheological regulator JHRM, 40-60g highlight calcium carbonate C-L501, 10-30g lubricant R-16, 25-35g emulsified paraffin, 40-60g solid polymerization alcohol JHGC for the drilling fluid and 1000g tap water. The tap water, the bentonite for the drilling fluid and soda are added for prehydration for 24h first, the shear strength improving agent SZT is added under the mixing condition at 8000r / min, then the treatment agents are sequentially added under the mixing condition at 500r / min, pH (potential of hydrogen) of a system is regulated to 8.5, and barite is added finally. The drilling fluid system has good rejection capability and blocking performance and is used for drilling of a long horizontal section of a shale bed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a low-density water-based drilling fluid for drilling shale, which is especially suitable for drilling long horizontal well sections of shale with developed micro-fractures. Background technique [0002] At present, oil-based drilling fluids are commonly used in shale gas wells at home and abroad. Because oil-based drilling fluids can increase the capillary pressure of water-wet shale and prevent drilling fluids from invading shale, oil-based drilling fluids and synthetic-based drilling fluids can be used. Effectively solve the problem of well wall instability. In dealing with the wellbore stability of shale gas horizontal wells, the use of oil-based drilling fluid system is currently the most effective measure abroad. But even if oil-based drilling fluid is used, for shale formations with developed fractures or beddings, it is necessary to strengthen the plugging to reduce the pressure transmission caused by the liquid enteri...
