Abstract
The conventional lost circulation materials (LCMs) particles of seal in the formation are in linear contact. Therefore, there is no cohesive force interaction, which is susceptible to pressure fluctuations, resulting in lost circulation and control failure. In response to these problems, this paper tested the high-temperature adhesion properties of EVA in the viscous flow transition zone through high-temperature adhesion experiments; then a smart adhesive LCMs is prepared using thermoplastic EVA resin with conventional LCMs; finally, through the high-temperature and high-pressure plugging experiment, the system's performance for sealing fractures was tested. The experiment results show that the smart adhesive LCMs have good plugging performance and can bond LCMs in the fracture to form a high-strength sealing with a pressure-bearing capacity of up to 9.3MPa.
