钻井液用纳米封堵剂研究进展

分析了硬脆性泥页岩井壁失稳的原因，介绍了纳米材料特点及其应用，并概述了国内外钻井液用纳米封堵剂的研究进展，包括有机纳米封堵剂、无机纳米封堵剂、有机/无机纳米封堵剂，以及纳米封堵剂现场应用案例。笔者认为:利用无机纳米材料刚性特征以及有机聚合物可任意变形、支化成膜等特性，形成的一种核壳结构的无机/聚合物类纳米封堵剂，能够很好地分散到钻井液中，且对钻井液黏度和切力影响较小，这种类型的纳米封堵剂能够在低浓度下封堵泥页岩孔喉，建立一种疏水型且具有一定强度的泥页岩人工井壁，这不仅能够阻止钻井液侵入，而且还能提高地层承压能力，无机纳米材料与有机聚合物的结合是未来钻井液防塌剂的发展方向。 

Progresses in Studying Drilling Fluid Nano Material Plugging Agents

This paper analyzes the mechanisms under which the hard and brittle shale formations destabilize, introduces the characteristics and application of nano materials, and summarizes the progresses made in the studies of drilling fluid nano material plugging agents, including organic and inorganic nano plugging agents. Also discussed in this paper are several case histories of the application of nano plugging agents. The authors believe that plugging agents having core-shell structures, which take advantage of the rigidity of inorganic nano materials and the deformability and filming ability of organic polymers, do not heavily affect the viscosity and gel strength of the drilling fluids in which the plugging agents can well dispersed. This kind of nano plugging agents can plug the pore throats of shales at low concentrations, thereby produce a pseudo hydrophobic "borehole wall" with some strength. This pseudo "borehole wall" not only hinders the invasion of drilling fluids, it also increases the pressure bearing of formation. The authors thus believe that the combination of inorganic nano materials and organic polymers indicates the direction for the development of anti-collapse additives in the future.
