Abstract:
For the purpose of reducing the invasion depth of solid phase and liquid phase of drilling fluid and improving the quality of drilling mud cake, polyacrylamide microspheres were successfully composed via reversed phrase emulsion method. The physical and chemical structures of the samples as well as the grain-size variation were investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Laser Particle Size Analysis method (LPSA).The plugging performance of the samples were investigated by core plugging experiment and sand bed filtration experiment. TEM images show that acrylamide has been polymerized, the products consist of a lot of monodisperse microspheres with a size of about 1-6 μm. LPSA images indicate that the particle size of polyacrylamide microspheres vary with time and temperature regularly. The experiment that simulates rock strata with different permeability shows those polyacrylamide microspheres can produce effectively blocked to the core and sand bed and then it establishes the foundation for the next field test.

Key words:  Drilling fluid, microspheres, polyacrylamide, sealing characteristics, synthesis, ,
