Abstract

With the continuous production of the well development, sidewall instability phenomenon has become increasingly serious, mostly occurs in the shale formation, benefit for oilfield produced great harm. Water-based drilling fluid sidewall instability mechanism has been basically clear, the oil-base drilling fluid influence on sidewall stability is not yet concrete. So this paper mainly for oil-based drilling fluid hard brittle shale sidewall instability mechanism research. This article first from the perspective of chemistry, the hard brittle shale borehole wall instability is studied, the experiment tested respectively by the white oil and water treatment of hard brittle shale of cation exchange capacity (CEC) value, so as to analyze the same and the hydration of clay mineral equivalent after processing samples, through analysis of the temperature, time, media's impact on hard brittle shale wellbore stability. Secondly, from the Angle of mechanics, stress and mechanical properties of mud shale formation is analyzed, and the minimum drilling fluid density model, gives a variety of analysis and calculation formula. In addition, this paper adopted the X ray diffraction (XRD)
