Abstract
Improving the performance of water-based drilling fluids for high temperature, salt and calcium resistance in the exploration of deep and ultra-deep wells is a matter of great urgency. In this study, MIL-100 (Fe) nanosphere catalyst with regular shape, uniform size and good monodispersity is prepared ahead of time. XRD, SEM and BET tests indicates that the MIL-100 (Fe) owning large specific surface areas, adjustable pore sizes and high porosity can display to be a photocatalyst. Based on the excellent photocatalytic activity under visible light, a new one-pot method strategy was supposed to achieve the graft modification on N atom in acrylamide using aziridine, and obtained the multi-amine allyl monomer. Finally, the poly (AM/AMPS/PSMM) (PAAP) filtrate reducer with significant hydrogen bonding effect was successfully synthesized by free radical copolymerization with acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and the pre-synthesized multi-amine allyl monomer. Due to the three dimensional hydrogen bonding interaction and resulted supramolecular association structure, the PAAP-based drilling fluids exhibit outstanding rheological and filtration properties even after aging at high temperatures and high salinity. The filtration volume after aging at 180 °C for 16 h is only 6.0 mL, meanwhile, the 20 wt% NaCl and 1.5 wt% CaCl2 copolymer base slurry aged at 180 °C both show the satisfactory filtration loss and offering performance higher than commercial filtrate reducers. Specifically, after aging at 180 °C, the filtration losses of DSP-1/BM and DSP-2/BM were 19.8 and 37.2 mL with 20 wt% NaCl contamination, respectively, while the filtration loss of PAAP was only 10.8 mL. Even under both 1.5 wt% CaCl2 contamination and 180 °C aging, the filtration loss of PAAP was only 11.0 mL, whereas the filtration loss of DSP-1 and DSP-2 reached 26.0 and 20.0 mL. Finally, the filtration control mechanism of poly (AM/AMPS/PSMM) was proposed via XPS test, hydrogen bonding analysis, filter cake morphologies observation by SEM and particle size distribution measurement.
