When drilling deep wells and ultra-deep wells, the downhole high temperature and high pressure environment will affect the emulsion stability of oil-based drilling fluids. Moreover, neither the demulsification voltage method nor the centrifugal method currently used to evaluate the stability of oil-based drilling fluids can reflect the emulsification stability of drilling fluids under high temperature and high pressure on site. Therefore, a high-temperature and high-pressure oil-based drilling fluid emulsion stability evaluation instrument is studied, which is mainly composed of a high-temperature autoclave body, a test electrode, a temperature control system, a pressure control system, and a test system. The stability test results of the instrument show that the instrument can achieve stable testing and the test data has high reliability. This instrument is used to analyze the factors affecting the emulsion stability of oil-based drilling fluids. The experimental results show that under the same conditions, the higher the stirring speed, the better the emulsion stability of the drilling fluid; the longer the stirring time, the better the emulsion stability of the drilling fluid; the greater the oil-water ratio, the better the emulsion stability of the drilling fluid. And the test results of the emulsification stability of oil-based drilling fluids at high temperature and high pressure show that under the same pressure, as the temperature rises, the emulsion stability of oil-based drilling fluids is significantly reduced; at the same temperature, the With the increase in pressure, the emulsion stability of oil-based drilling fluids is in a downward trend, but the decline is not large. Relatively speaking, the influence of temperature on the emulsion stability of oil-based drilling fluids is greater than that of pressure.

Accurate determination of hydraulic parameters such as pressure losses, equivalent circulation density (ECD), etc. plays profound roles in drilling, cement-ing and other well operations. Hydraulics characterization requires that all factors are considered as the neglect of any could become potential sources of errors that would be detrimental to the overall well operation. Drilling Hydraulics has been extensively treated in the literature. However, these works almost entirely rely on the assumption that the drill string lies perfectly at the center of the annulus—the so-called “concentric annulus”. In reality, concentricity is almost never achieved even when centralizers are used. This is because of high well inclination angles and different string geometries. Thus, eccentricity exists in practical oil and gas wells especially horizontal and extended reach wells (ERWs) and must be accounted for. The prevalence of drillstring (DS) eccentricity in the annulus calls for a re-evaluation of existing hydraulic models. This study evaluates the effect of drilling fluid rheology types and DS eccentricity on the entire drilling hydraulics. Three non-Newtonian fluid models were analyzed, viz: Herschel Bulkley, power law and Bingham plastic models. From the results, it was observed that while power law and Bingham plastic models gave the upper and lower hydraulic values, Herschel Bulkley fluid model gave annular pressure loss (APL) and ECD values that fall between the upper and lower values and provide a better fit to the hydraulic data than power law and Bingham plastic fluids. Furthermore, analysis of annular eccentricity reveals that APLs and ECD decrease with an increase in DS eccentricity. Pressure loss reduction of more than 50% was predicted for the fully eccentric case for Herschel Bulkley fluids. Thus, DS eccentricity must be fully considered during well planning and hydraulics designs.

To supplement, adjust and improve the division plan of crude oil strata in the west of Mahuangshan Mountain. Combining well logging, core, and drilling analysis and testing data, Petrel software was utilized to classify and compare the 10 layers of the Yan’an Formation. Draw 6 “net-like” skeleton profiles for Ningdong No. 2 and No. 3 wells, involving 31 wells. On the basis of the large-layer strata division, Yan 8 and Yan 9 sections are divided and compared; five “net-like” skeleton profiles were drawn in the 5 well, involving 16 wells. On the basis of the large-layer division, the small-layer division and comparison were performed by Yan 8 and Yan 9. The results show that the Yan 8 oil layer is divided into two stratigraphic units, and Yan 8 and Yan 82, and the Yan 9 oil layer is divided into two stratigraphic units, Yan 91 and Yan 92; the Yan 2 layer in the 2 and 3 well blocks of Ningdong is in the marker layer. The top of the coal seam, Yan 8 layers in the Ningdong 5 well area is on the top of the auxiliary marker seam. The fine division of small layers into tiny layers of sedimentary microfacies, reservoir heterogeneity, development dynamic analysis, remaining oil distribution and other studies provide indispensable data.

Seeking effective solutions to control and mitigate the interaction between drilling fluids and clay formations has been a challenge for many years, and various shale inhibitors have shown excellent results in problematic shale formations around the world. Herein, the hyperbranched polyamine (HBPA) inhibitor with a higher ratio of amine groups and obvious tendentiousness in protonation was successfully synthesized from ethylenediamine, acryloyl chloride and aziridine by five steps, in which the metal-organic framework (MOF) was employed as a catalyst for ring-open polycondensation (ROP). The structure and purity were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) respec-tively. The HBPA displays more excellent performance than EDA and KCl widely applied in the oil field. After aging at 80˚C and 180˚C, the YP of a slurry system containing 25 wt.% bentonite and 2 wt.% HBPA are just 8.5 Pa and 5.5 Pa (wt.%: percentage of mass), respectively. The swelling lengths of 2 wt.% HBPA are estimated to be 1.78 mm, which falls by 70% compared with that of freshwater. Under a hot rolling aging temperature of 180˚C, the HBPA system demonstrates a significant inhibition with more than 85% shale cuttings recovery rate and is superior to conventional EDA and KCl. Mechanism analysis further validates that the HBPA can help to increase the zeta potential.

With the innovation and development of offshore oil drilling technology, drilling wells in deep waters areas have become an important activity for the development of new hydrocarbon reservoirs in this type of environment. CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) won the rights to exploit two unexplored deepwater blocks in the Gulf of Mexico, in a bid realized by the Mexican Government (CNH), in 2016. The challenge to combine the newest technology with the oil industry experienced knowledge to lead the exploration and development of these deep-water blocks in Mexico is around the corner. Therefore, the basic techniques for deep waters wells drilling and the main potential risks are expounded in this paper. A set of deep waters wells drilling processes and methodologies are previously designed, and a specific case is demonstrated next, which provides a referential model for deep waters wells drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Aiming at the problems of microfracture development in hard brittle shale gas layer in Fuling block, Chongqing, such as collapse of borehole wall and the existence of permeability loss of microfracture during drilling, and serious pollution of drilling environment with oil-based drilling fluid, a water-based drilling fluid system for anti-collapse and anti-leakage was studied. A wa-ter-based drilling fluid system with anti-collapse and anti-leakage was formed by introducing functional treatment agents, such as polypolysaccharide MEG, polymer emulsion film forming wall cementing agent LFGB, polyamine inhibitor LCFA and deformable particle plugging agent BXLZ, into the conventional water-based drilling fluid. After rolling at 130˚C for 16 h, the system has good rheological properties, low filtration loss, good inhibition, lubrication and plugging properties. It has good plugging properties for 0.12 mm, 0.24 mm, 0.38 mm micro-cracks and 400 mD and 800 mD sand plates. The system was successfully tested on site in August 2019 in Fuling Reef Block, showing good rheological properties, solid wall plugging, and strong ability to seal and inhibit fracture expansion. There was no block falling in the drilling process, and the tripping, casing running and well cementing operations were all smooth, which provided a new technical idea and scheme for environmental protection and green drilling in Fuling shale gas exploitation.

Sillimanite is a brittle mineral as a metamorphic mineral product which is generally derived from clay, along with an increase in pressure and high temperature (600°C - 900°C), and kaliophilite is also a brittle mineral as a potassium bearing in the sand-shale series, which contributes to the clay diagenesis process. In the development of shale hydrocarbon in the Brownshale formation in the Bengkalis Trough, Central Sumatra Basin, using the correlation of the XRD (bulk and clay oriented), TOC, Ro, and MBT analysis results from the drill cuttings of well BS-03, so that the fracable zone interval can be determined. From this correlation, it shows that the presence of sillimanite and kaliophilite minerals as minor minerals greatly affects the changes in shale character and hydrocarbon generation, where at depth intervals of 10,780 ft downward (sand series-shale) there is an interesting phenomenon, i.e. low MBT, low TOC, and high Ro, so it is believed that the depth interval of 10,780 ft downward is a fracable zone interval (brittle shale) which is a good candidate for hydraulic fracking planning, while the upper depth interval is a fracture barrier.

The kinetic characteristics of alkenes involved in thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) have been never reported in geological literature. In this study, TSR by ethene under hydrothermal conditions was performed in the constrained simulation experiments. Typical TSR products consisted of H2S, CO2, mercaptans, sulfides, thiophenes derivatives and benzothiophene. The apparent activation energy E and apparent frequency factor A for TSR by ethene were determined as 76.370 kJ/mol and 4.579 s-1, respectively. The lower activation energy for ethene involved in TSR relative to ethane suggested that the reactivity of ethene is much higher than that of ethane, in accordance with the thermodynamic analysis. Rate constants were determined experimentally using first-order kinetics extrapolate to MgSO4 half-lives of 67.329 years - 3.053 years in deep burial diagenetic settings (120°C - 180°C). These values demonstrate that the reaction rate for TSR by ethene is extraordinarily fast in high-temperature gas reservoirs (120°C - 180°C). Consequently, the newly formed ethene from thermal cracking and TSR alteration of natural gas and/or petroleum could not survive after TSR process and were rarely detected in natural TSR reservoirs.

With the enhancement of environmental protection awareness, the requirements on drilling fluid are increasingly strict, and the use of ordinary oil-based drilling fluid has been strictly restricted. In order to solve the environmental protection and oil-gas reservoir protection problems of offshore oil drilling, a new synthetic basic drilling fluid system is developed. The basic formula is as follows: a basic fluid (80% Linear a-olefin + 20% Simulated seawater) + 2.5% nano organobentonite + 3.5% emulsifier RHJ-5# + 2.5% fluid loss agent SDJ-1 + 1.5% CaO + the right amount of oil wetting barite to adjust the density, and a multifunctional oil and gas formation protective agent YRZ has been developed. The performance was evaluated using a high-low-high-temperature rheometer, a high-temperature and high-pressure demulsification voltage tester, and a high-temperature and high-pressure dynamic fluid loss meter. The results show that the developed synthetic based drilling fluid has good rheological property, demulsification voltage ≥ 500 V, temperature resistance up to 160°C, high temperature and high pressure filtration loss < 3.5 mL. After adding 2% - 5% YRZ into the basic formula of synthetic based drilling fluid, the permeability recovery value exceeds 90% and the reservoir protection effect is excellent. The new synthetic deepwater drilling fluid is expected to have a good application prospect in offshore deepwater drilling.
