Application in Oil Field Drilling with Temperature-Resistant Natural Modified Filtrate Reducer: A Review

  • INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF OIL AND GAS
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Natural modified filtrate reducer is an important additive in the process of oil drilling. It can reduce the fluid loss of drilling fluid, improve filter cake and protect borehole wall. However, with the continuous increase of drilling depth and the gradual increase of temperature, natural modified filtrate reducer began to appear poor stability, lower filtration effect and other problems. Therefore, scholars have studied the natural filtrate reducer to improve the temperature resistance of the natural filtrate reducer, so that the natural modified filtrate reducer can adapt to the high temperature formation. Moreover, some natural modified filtrate reducer also have calcium and salt resistance. This review provides a comparative investigation and summary for asphalt, humic acid, lignin, cellulose and starch filtrate reducers. In addition, the author also introduces the mechanism of natural modified filtrate reducers, preparation process of natural modified filtrate reducers, optimization and improvement of natural modified filtrate reducers and their application fields. Last, the author looks forward to the current key issues and future development direction.
