Abstract

Abstract:

The global oil and gas exploration is gradually moving from shallow layer to deep layer，conventional hydrocarbon resources to unconventional hydrocarbon resources，medium and high-permeability to low-permeability and low-grade，and shallow seas to deep seas. With the increasing drilling workload，fit-for-purpose drilling fluid technology is needed to provide support for high-performance drilling. High-performance drilling fluids are the key to safe，efficient，economical，and green drilling，and the drilling fluid rheology is the core parameter for evaluating the performance of the drilling fluid system. As an essential treatment agent for building the drilling fluid systems，rheology modifiers can enhance viscosity and shear，improve the yield point-plastic viscosity ratio and optimize shear thinning，so as to control the rheology of drilling fluids. In order to drive the research and development of new rheology modifiers for drilling fluids，this paper investigates and classifies the rheology modifiers for water-based drilling fluids at home and abroad，and summarizes the research results，application，and existing problems of various rheology modifiers. The future direction of rheology modifiers for water-based drilling fluid was also analyzed to facilitate the technical improvement of water-based drilling fluids.

Key words:

rheology modifier, water-based drilling fluid, rheological property, polymer, nanomaterial

摘要： 全球油气勘探开发由浅层向深层、常规向非常规、中高渗整装向低渗透低品位、滩浅海向深海逐步拓展，钻井工作量持续增大，亟需钻井液技术提供保障。性能优良的钻井液是实现安全、高效、经济、绿色钻井的关键，钻井液流变性是评价钻井液体系性能的核心参数。流型调节剂作为构建钻井液体系不可或缺的关键处理剂，能够起到增黏提切、提高动塑比及优化剪切稀释性等作用，可有效调控钻井液流变性。为推进新型钻井液流型调节剂研发，对国内外水基钻井液用流型调节剂进行了调研及分类，综述了各类流型调节剂的研究现状、应用情况及存在问题，并分析了水基钻井液流型调节剂发展方向，以期推动水基钻井液技术进步。
