    摘要: The present invention provides a modified liquid phase drilling fluid having desirable properties of shale swelling inhibition, lubrication, and high temperature performance. The fluid does not rely on the incorporation of inorganic salts or high molecular weight water soluble polymers for control of shale swelling or shale disintegration and exhibits performance characteristics, approaching those of oil base drilling fluids, without the objectionable properties of hydrocarbon oils or its potential hazardous impact on the environment. The fluid is comprised of the following: (1) a liquid phase containing; (a) a water phase comprising fresh water, seawater, brine, simulated brine, or mixtures thereof; and (b) a water-soluble component selected from the class consisting of polyhydric alcohols, glycol, glycol ethers, polypropylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers ("EO-PO"), alcohol-initiated EO-PO copolymers and/or mixtures thereof, the ratio of said water-soluble component in the total liquid phase being from about 5% to about 50% by volume; (2) a viscosifier for suspension of solids in said liquid phase; and (3) a filtration control agent. The fluid with the water soluble component will exhibit a lubricity coefficient lower than that for substantially the same fluid without the water soluble component as determined by the American Petroleum Institute's "Procedure for Determination of Lubricity Coefficient (Tentative)" (1980), and the linear swelling on a reconstituted "gumbo" shale inserted for about 60 minutes of said drilling fluid being from lower than that for substantially the same fluid without the water soluble component, as measured by the "Swelling Test", "Rigsite Shale Evaluation Techniques for Control of Shale-related Wellbore Instability Problems", SPE/IADC Paper No. 16054, pages 52-53, (1987).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a surfactant for use in invert emulsion drilling fluids, the invert emulsion drilling fluid produced therefrom, and a method of drilling, completing and working over a subterranean well utilizing said drilling fluid. The drilling fluid comprises an emulsion formed by producing a diamide having from between about 20 mole percent and about 35 mole percent of a polyamine, and from between about 30 mole percent and about 70 mole percent of a fatty acid having from between about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms therein, the diamide thereafter being further reacted with from between about 15 mole percent and about 35 mole percent of a tricarboxylic acid. The total amine value of said oligamide being from between about 10 to about 30, and the acid value of said oligamide being from between about 26 to about 46. When the surfactant is diluted to about 70 w/w percent concentration with a suitable solvent, the ES.sub.3, as defined herein, of said emulsion drilling fluid will exceed about 400 volts, the ES.sub.5, as defined herein, will be greater than the ES.sub.4, and the ES.sub.5 will be greater than about 1,000 volts. Alternatively, the electrical stability of the emulsion drilling fluid, when using the API Electrical Stability Test, should be at least about 1,000 volts.

    摘要: A method for estimating a depth from which cuttings have been recovered from a well may include varying a parameter of one or more marking agents added into a drilling fluid circulated into the well and recovering the cuttings from the well. The depth may be estimated by estimating a value associated with the marking agent that marks the cuttings. A system for estimating a depth from which cuttings have been recovered from a well includes at least one marking agent configured to mark the cuttings and a marking agent dispensing device configured to add the at least one marking agent into a drilling fluid circulated into the well. The marking agent dispensing device may be further configured to vary a parameter of the at least one marking agent.

    摘要: A drilling fluid system for use in oil and gas well drilling operations is described having a rheological modifier/control agent comprising a polyalkyl methacrylate copolymer containing a small amount of vinyl pyrrolidone, a weighting agent, optionally an organophilic clay, with a base fluid making up the balance. The drilling fluid may be oil, invert emulsion, and in particular synthetic base fluid where the continuous phase may be synthetic esters olefins, paraffins, mineral oil or diesel oil, and the like. These copolymers prevent or reduce barite sag and provide cutting transport in these drilling systems.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method for determining the presence and quantity of an amine-based additive in fluids, particularly aqueous fluids used in hydrocarbon recovery such as drilling fluids, drill-in fluids, completion fluids, and the like. It was discovered that, after isolating the amine-based additive, the amount of clay stabilizer is linearly dependent upon the spectrometric count of its peak fluorescent spectrum. The method is reproducible and is not bothered by the presence of lignosulfonate and/or lignite which interferes with conventional methods.

    摘要: Brine-in-glycol emulsions are shown for use as well working fluids. The fluids have a glycol external phase and a brine internal phase. The separate phases are emulsified to create an emulsion and weighted with traditional weighting agents. The external phase is soluble or dispersible in sea water when diluted upon discharge.
