Longdong Oil Block requires the full implementation of drilling fluid non-landing technology to promote the recycling of waste drilling fluid. In order to solve the problem that the performance of water-based drilling fluids prepared using on-site hydraulic filtrate waste cannot meet the standards and the influencing factors are not clear,the ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) titration,bacterial plate counting method and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) were used to investigate the key techniques to improve the reuse rate of hydraulic filtrate waste. The experiments show that the high content of calcium and magnesium ions,bacteria,and heavy metals are the main reasons for the poor performance of water-based drilling fluids prepared using hydraulic filtrate waste. Correspondingly,the modified coagulation and precipitation complexing agent II,polyether demulsifier JX,and flocculants ZY-I,ZY-II have been developed to perform the flocculation-precipitation-sterilization treatment together with the sterilizing agent. The resultant average removal rate of calcium and magnesium ions is 95.5%,the sterilization rates of saprophytic bacteria (TGB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are 96.54% and 100% respectively,and the heavy metal content is less than 2.31 μg/L. The laboratory tests of recycling of hydraulic filtrate waste and water-based drilling fluid preparation have been completed for 6 wells in Longdong Oil Block. Longdong Oil Block waste drilling fluid hydraulic filtrate recycling technology has been formed and applied in 5 wells of this block. The water-based drilling fluids prepared using the recycled hydraulic filtrate waste presents a performance in line with the drilling engineering design requirements,facilitating the smooth drilling process,effectively protecting the environment and saved water resources,demonstrating good prospects for application promotion.
