To protect reservoir during drilling, the drilling-in fluid is generally converted into reservoir protection fluid by adding proper graded temporary plugging materials based on the average radius of pore throat in the reservoir. The main materials include the bridging particles and film-forming agent. In order to achieve the purpose of low damage during drilling, the bridging particles are optimized by the ideal filling theory (IPT) and the film-forming agent is adopted. Based on these results, the synergistic reservoir protect technology is developed and the temporary plugging mechanism is analyzed. Laboratory evaluation and field tests showed that the plugging rate and recovery rate of cores treated by the developed drilling-in fluid are both over 90%, thus, the developed drilling fluid systems have a better reservoir protection effect than conventional systems and can help to increase daily oil production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
