Abstract
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 (FLAPI < 8 mL, FLHTHP < 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.

Abstract
In drilling deep complex formations, most drilling fluid additives have insufficient temperature and salt tolerance, resulting in the decline of drilling fluid performance. This study used 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, acrylamide, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride and modified nano-laponite to synthesize a nanocomposite filtrate reducer (ANDP) with excellent temperature and salt resistance, which can maintain the performance of drilling fluid. The structure of ANDP was analysed by a transmission electron microscope and an infrared spectrometer. The thermal stability of ANDP was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The performance of ANDP was evaluated in a water-based drilling fluid. The mechanism was analysed per clay particle size distribution, Zeta potential, filter cake permeability and scanning electron microscopy imaging. The results show that ANDP has good thermal stability and the expected molecular structure. The filtration of freshwater drilling fluid after ageing at 200°C is 10.4 ml and that of saturated brine drilling fluid is 6.4 ml after ageing at 150°C. Mechanism analysis suggests that the ANDP increases the thickness of clay particle hydration layer and maintains the colloidal stability of the drilling fluid. ANDP inhibits the agglomeration of clay particles and significantly reduces the filtration by forming dense mud cake.

Synthesis of a Low-Molecular-Weight Filtrate Reducer and Its Mechanism for Improving High Temperature Resistance of Water-Based Drilling Fluid Gel System. Gels 2022; 8:gels8100619.

Abstract
During the exploitation of deep and ultradeep oil and gas resources, the high-temperature problem of deep reservoirs has become a major challenge for water-based drilling fluids. In this study, a novel high-temperature-resistant filtrate reducer (LDMS) with low molecular weight was synthesized using N, N-dimethylacrylamide; sodium p-styrene sulfonate; and maleic anhydride, which can maintain the performance of a drilling fluid gel system under high temperature. Unlike the conventional high-temperature-resistant polymer filtrate reducer, LDMS does not significantly increase the viscosity and yield point of the drilling fluid gel systems. After aging at 210 °C, the filtrate volume of a drilling fluid with 2 wt% LDMS was only 8.0 mL. The mechanism of LDMS was studied by particle size distribution of a drilling fluid gel system, Zeta potential change, adsorption experiment, change of bentonite interlayer spacing, filter cake scanning electron microscope, and related theoretical analysis. The mechanism study revealed that LDMS could be adsorbed on the surface of bentonite particles in large quantities and intercalated into the interlayer of bentonite. Thus, it can improve the hydration degree of bentonite particles and the colloidal stability of the drilling fluid gel system, maintain the content of fine particles in the drilling fluid gel system, form a compact mud cake, and significantly reduce the filtrate volume of the drilling fluid gel system. Therefore, this work will promote the application of a low-molecular-weight polymer filtrate reducer in high-temperature-resistant water-based drilling fluid gel systems.

Effect of Polycarboxylic Grinding Aid on Cement Chemistry and Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14183905. [PMID: 36146050 PMCID: PMC9501213 DOI: 10.3390/polym14183905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
In view of the disadvantages of polycarboxylic acid grinding aids, such as poor reinforcement effect and cumbersome synthesis process, a new type of polycarboxylic acid grinding aid was prepared to meet the requirements of multifunctional admixture for cement concrete. The polycarboxylate grinding aid (PC) was prepared using acrylic acid, sodium allyl sulfonate, and isoprenol polyoxyethylene ether (TPEG) as raw materials, and ammonium persulfate as initiator in the nitrogen atmosphere. The effect of PC and its compound with triethanolamine (TEA) and triisopropanolamine (TIPA) on cement particle size and strength, and hydration process and structures of hydrated products were investigated. Moreover, the grinding mechanism of grinding aids was also proposed. The results indicate that the PC has good performance in both grinding and high-efficiency water-reducing. The average particle diameter of cement was reduced by 3.65 μm when 0.03 wt% of PC was added as grinding aid. Moreover, a high initial fluidity of the cement paste, 290 mm, could be reached when 0.08 wt% of PC was added. The fluidity loss of cement paste after 30 min and 60 min was 265 mm and 260 mm, respectively. After PC compounding with TEA and TIPA, 4.07 μm and 4.7 μm of the average particle size of the cement can be reduced, respectively. Based on the investigations on the hydration rate of cement hydration, the phases, and the microstructures of the hardened slurry, it could be concluded that grinding aids can change the hydration process of cement and improve the morphologies and structures of hydration products without influence on the type of hydrated products. Note that the compounded grinding aids, such as PC with TEA or PC with TIPA, can more effectively enhance the early and late strength of cement. This shows excellent comprehensive performance. In this study, a new type of polycarboxylic acid grinding aid was prepared to meet the requirements of the versatility of cement concrete additives, and to simplify the synthesis process, reduce production costs, improve the grinding effect, and improve the performance of cement concrete.

Abstract
With the continuous exploration and development of oil and gas resources to deep formations, the key treatment agents of water-based drilling fluids face severe challenges from high temperatures and salinity, and the development of high temperature and salt resistance filtration reducers has always been the focus of research in the field of oilfield chemistry. In this study, a nano-silica-modified co-polymer (NS-ANAD) gel was synthesized by using acrylamide, isopropylacrylamide, 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid, diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and double-bond-modified inorganic silica particles (KH570-SiO2) through free radical co-polymerization. The introduction of nanotechnology enhances the polymer’s resistance to high temperature degradation, making it useful as a high-temperature-resistant fluid loss reducer. Moreover, the anions (sulfonates) and cations (quaternary ammonium) enhance the extension of the polymer and the adsorption on the surface of bentonite particles in a saline environment, which in turn improves the salt resistance of the polymer. The drilling fluids containing 2.0 wt% NS-ANAD co-polymer gels still show excellent rheological and filtration performance, even after aging in high temperature (200 °C) and high salinity (saturated salt) environments, showing great potential for application in deep and ultra-deep drilling engineering.

Abstract
Filtration loss control under high-temperature conditions is a worldwide issue among water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). A core–shell high-temperature filter reducer (PAASM-CaCO3) that combines organic macromolecules with inorganic nanomaterials was developed by combining acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), styrene (St), and maleic anhydride (MA) as monomers and nano-calcium carbonate (NCC). The molecular structure of PAASM-CaCO3 was characterized. The average molecular weight of the organic part was 6.98 × 105 and the thermal decomposition temperature was about 300 °C. PAASM-CaCO3 had a better high-temperature resistance. The rheological properties and filtration performance of drilling fluids treated with PAASM-CaCO3 were stable before and after aging at 200 °C/16 h, and the effect of filtration control was better than that of commonly used filter reducers. PAASM-CaCO3 improved colloidal stability and mud cake quality at high temperatures.

Abstract
Drilling fluids with poor filtration property are disadvantageous for well drilling, easily causing wellbore instability and formation collapse. This work reports the novel utilization of tea polyphenols (TPs) as a fluid loss additive in the bentonite-water-based drilling fluids (BT-WDFs). The influence of TP concentration and temperature on the filtration property of the fluids was described. The results showed that an increase in the TP concentration contributed to a decrease in fluid loss. Especially BT-WDFs added with 3.0 wt % TP exhibited a low fluid loss (less than or approximately 10 mL) at room temperature and high temperatures (∼150 °C), displaying better filtration property and temperature resistance than common fluid loss agents. Through the investigations on the viscosity, the particle size of TP/BT-WDFs, and micromorphology of filter cakes, the dispersion effect of TP was considered as the dominant factor for the filtration property of TP/BT-WDFs. TP molecules, containing many functional groups, could attach to the surface of bentonite platelets, improve the hydration of bentonite particles, and promote the dispersion of bentonite particles. At room temperature, TP facilitated the dispersion of hydrated bentonite. The existing "house-of-cards" structure was weakened, decreasing the particle size and viscosity of TP/BT-WDFs. At high temperature, bentonite dehydrated and aggregated, thereby increasing the particle size of bentonite particles, decreasing the viscosity of bentonite dispersion, and resulting in a high fluid loss. The addition of TP dispersed bentonite from face-to-face (FF) attraction to edge-to-face (EF) attraction, recovered the house-of-cards structure, and increased the viscosity of TP/BT-WDFs. Under the dispersion effect of TP, an appropriate grain composition of bentonite particles was formed and the pore throats were plugged to prevent the penetration of water. Finally, a compact and thin filter cake was built and the fluid loss was greatly reduced. The TP/BT-WDFs exhibited good filtration property. TP is a prospective candidate to be a high-performance and biodegradable fluid loss additive in well-drilling applications.

Abstract
Because of their high viscoelasticity, Hydrophobic Associative Water-Soluble Polymers (HAWSPs) have been widely used in many industrial fields, especially in oilfield flooding and fracturing. However, one major problem which limits the wide applications of HAWSPs is their weak resistance to high temperatures. Once the temperature increases over 100 °C, the viscosity of the fracturing fluid decreases rapidly, because high temperatures reduce fluid viscosity by oxidizing the polyacrylamide chains and weakening the association of hydrophobic groups. To improve the high temperature resistance of one HAWSP, a triple-protection strategy was developed. First, rigid N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone moiety was introduced into the polymer chains. Second, an environmentally-friendly deoxidizer, carbohydrazide, was selected to prevent polymer oxidization by scavenging dissolved oxygen. Results showed that both the rigid groups and the deoxidizer improved the temperature resistance of the polymer and helped it maintain high viscosity under high temperature and shear rate. Using these two protection strategies, the resistant temperature of the polymer could reach 160 °C. However, the polymer network still got severely damaged at further elevated temperatures. Therefore, as the third protection strategy, the pre-added high temperature responsive crosslinking agent was applied to form new networks at elevated temperatures. The results have shown that the optimized polymer solution as a kind of fracturing fluid showed good temperature resistance up to 200 °C.
