One area of northern Tarim Basin in China is carbonate reservoir, and the reservoir is between 6600 ~ 6900 m. The bottom hole static temperature is close to 170°C, the ECD of pore pressure is 1.1 ~ 1.15 g/cm3. In order to improve the development economic benefit, reservoir need to adopt horizontal well development. Water-based drilling fluid is required to resistant high temperatures and high salt, prevent leakage of limestone reservoir fracture, control the density, protect the reservoir from damage, and has good rheological properties. For old poly-sulfide drilling fluid system, through the indoor evaluation system of various treatment agent and temperature resistance, authors found that by using polymer viscosities, loss of water and temperature resistance of lubricant can reach 140°C. Therefore authors developed the temperature stability agent and high temperature resistant lubricants. This paper introduces the mechanism of the treatment, and evaluates the performance of synthetic products. Aiming at the shortage of the lubricant, authors develop a blister, crosslinking, good environmental protection and maintain water-based lubricant characteristics of resistance to high temperature lubricant. It has good environmental protection ability. Through the evaluation, it has good lubricity and temperature resistance. By introducing the resistance temperature resistance to high temperature drilling fluid system, and after the application in well H9-10H, new drilling fluid system was carried out, well meet the requirements of drilling engineering.

The reservoir in the Central Tarim Basin is a typical high-pressure fracture-vuggy carbonate reservoir with high temperatures, which easily leads to drilling fluid losses and the high-temperature carbonate. The conventional lost circulation materials (LCMs) cannot meet the reservoir. To resolve this problem, a rigid particle with high-temperature resistance, high acid solubility, and high rigidity was developed, tested, and evaluated. According to bridge rules of 1/2–2/3 opening degree of formation fracture, the formulation experiments of GZD and other lost circulation materials were conducted and a novel composite lost circulation material (LCM) was completed. Lastly, we investigated the compatibility of LCM and mud in site though compatibility experiment, analyzed the plugging effect of the system for fracture and vuggy by laboratory static lost circulation simulation and evaluation and sand-bed plugging experiments, respectively. The results show that compared with the conventional rigid lost material, the value of high-temperature resistance is more and acid solubility is over 98%. Also, it can work well with other fiber materials (E), variable filling particles (F and G), and superfine filling particles (H) and form a novel plugging material, named MGY-I, whose temperature resistance value is more than 473.15 K, the bearing strength is over than 9 MPa, the mud filtrate invasion depth of sand bed made from coarse particles (10∼20 mesh) is only 3.0 cm within 30 minutes, and the invasion depth is less than 1 cm within 30 minutes when the sand bed is made from 80∼100 mesh. The optimal concentrations of rigid granule, lignin fiber, elastic particle, and superfine calcium carbonate are 8% (A : B : CD = 2 : 1 : 1), 0.5%, 6%, and 1%, respectively. And, the plugging function of “GZD-rigidity bridge and filling, fiber network and deformable filing” is better exerted on the formation fracture with a high loading capacity and a high-temperature resistance.

In this paper, the cross-linked micro-gel polymer between acrylamide (AM) and N, N-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) was synthesized by dispersion polymerization. The initiator and crosslinking agent concentration were used to control the particle size of micro-gel polymer. The filtration property and mechanism of micro-gel were investigated comprehensively. The characteristics of micro-gel were checked by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and particle size distribution, respectively. The results indicated that the cross-linked micro-gel polymer exhibited several outstanding merits, such as thermal stability (up to 200 °C), filtration control and rheological property. Microstructure analysis and particle size distribution examinations showed that the scale of micro-gel polymer was micro, which is in accord with design. Rheological tests demonstrated that the nonlinear structure of micro-gel polymer showed less impact on the apparent viscosity. The anti-high temperature property of micro-gel polymer was better than poly anioniccellulose (PAC) and asphalt widely applied in drilling fluid for anti-high temperature fluid-loss additive. As a result, the cross-linked micro-gel polymer had great potential to be applied in high temperature water-based mud.
