Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Petroleum Engineering

Background:

  • Wellbore stability is crucial in shale gas drilling, often compromised by high temperatures and shale hydration.
  • Effective plugging inhibitors are needed to mitigate fluid loss and prevent formation damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a high-temperature-resistant plugging-inhibitor (DS) for improved wellbore stability.
  • To evaluate the performance of DS in terms of plugging efficiency and shale inhibition.

Main Methods:

  • Emulsion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and N-vinylformamide.
  • Characterization using FTIR, TG, SEM, and contact angle analysis.
  • Performance evaluation through filtration, HTHP plugging, linear swelling, and shale recovery tests.

Main Results:

  • DS synthesized with spherical morphology (50-100 nm) and high thermal stability (decomposition ~297 °C).
  • Significantly reduced API filtration loss to 6 mL at 1.5 wt% and HTHP filtration loss to 6 mL at 180 °C with 1 wt% DS.
  • Effectively suppressed shale hydration, reducing linear swelling to 1.48 mm and increasing shale recovery to 64.68% at 3 wt%.

Conclusions:

  • DS demonstrates excellent thermal stability, plugging efficiency, and shale inhibition properties.
  • The synthesized DS offers a promising solution for enhancing wellbore stability in shale gas drilling operations.
