    摘要: A water-base fluid for use in drilling wells and other drilling operation includes a shale clay which swells in the presence of water. The fluid preferably includes: an aqueous based continuous phase, and a shale hydration inhibition agent having the formula: H—(OR)x—[—NH—CH2—CH2—CH2—O—CH2—CH2—NH—]—(R′O)y—H wherein R and R′ are independently selectable alkylene groups having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and wherein x and y have independently selected values such that the sum of x and y is at least 1. The shale hydration inhibition agent should be present in sufficient concentration to reduce the swelling of the shale clay. The fluid may be used for formulating drilling fluids such as water-base drilling muds or clear brine drilling fluids. The fluid may also be used in the slurrification and disposal of drill cuttings that contain water swellable clays or shale clays.

    摘要: New drilling fluids have been invented which are invert emulsion fluids comprising an oleaginous liquid, a non-oleaginous liquid, and a protonated amine. Such fluids are acidic and thus useful in drilling wells in which acidic gases such as CO.sub.2 or H.sub.2 S are likely to be encountered and break, i.e. de-emulsify, the drilling fluid.

    摘要: On occasion, during drilling operations employing oil base drilling muds, conditions occur that cause the surface of the solid materials in the mud to be water wet, changing the rheology of the drilling mud such that it is unusable and has to be discarded. In accordance with this invention, a novel method is provided to reverse this condition so that the water wet surfaces of the solid particles become oil wet again, restoring the drilling mud to substantially its original condition or level or to such a condition that it can continue to be used in drilling operations. This is accomplished by adding to the drilling mud containing water wet particles at least one of a specific and critical group of imidazolines.The imidazolines may be added to stable oil mud drilling fluids to decrease possible water wetting of the particle surfaces therein.
