This paper presents an experimental study of surface wettability on a stainless plate in a high-temperature, high-pressure environment. Using a pressure vessel, we measured contact angles of water droplets at temperatures from 20 to 300°C and a constant pressure of 15 MPa, as an indicator of macroscopic surface wettability. Measured contact angles decreased with temperature below 250°C, clustering around a straight line at temperatures below 120°C and around another line in the range from 120 to 250°C. At temperatures above 250°C, on the other hand, the contact angles remained constant, independent of temperature, and contrary to the existing theoretical model, no highly hydrophilic condition or null contact angle condition was achieved.

Abstract With the strengthening of exploration and development of deep strata and offshore oil and gas resources, more and more deep wells and deep-water wells have put forward higher requirements for drilling fluid performance. The high-temperature high-pressure of deep well and the low temperature environment of deep well have important influence on the rheology and density of drilling fluid. A new method for calculating the rheology and density of high -temperature high-pressure (HTHP) drilling fluid is proposed and studied in this paper. In this paper, the HTHP rheological data are used to predict the shear stress under different shear rates, and then the wellbore rheological parameters are predicted and analyzed. For the calculation of drilling fluid density, the classical component method static density calculation model established by Hoberock model based on drilling fluid components is analyzed and improved in this paper. The obtained model predicts that the maximum absolute error of drilling fluid density under different temperature and pressure is 0.02 g/cm3, and the absolute error is controlled within 2 %.
