Investigation on Filtration Control of Zwitterionic Polymer AADN in High Temperature High Pressure Water-Based Drilling Fluids

With the exploration and development of high-temperature and high-salt deep oil and gas, more rigorous requirements are warranted for the performance of water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). In this study, acrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and...

description With the exploration and development of high-temperature and high-salt deep oil and gas, more rigorous requirements are warranted for the performance of water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). In this study, acrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and N-vinylpyrrolidone were synthesized by free radical copolymerization in an aqueous solution to form a temperature and salt-resistant zwitterionic polymer gel filtration loss reducer (AADN). The zwitterionic polymer had excellent adsorption and hydration groups, which could effectively combine with bentonite through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attraction, strengthening the hydration film thickness on the surface of bentonite, and promoting the stable dispersion of drilling fluid. In addition, the reverse polyelectrolyte effect of zwitterionic polymers strengthened the drilling fluid’s ability to resist high-temperature and high-salt. The AADN-based drilling fluid showed excellent rheological and filtration control properties (FL<sub>API</sub> < 8 mL, FL<sub>HTHP</sub> < 29.6 mL) even after aging at high-temperature (200 °C) and high-salt (20 wt% NaCl) conditions. This study provides a new strategy for simultaneously improving the high-temperature and high-salt tolerance of WBDFs, presenting the potential for application in drilling in high-temperature and high-salt deep formations.
