A Nano-Cleaning Fluid for Downhole Casing Cleaning

Abstract

In drilling and completion projects, sludge is formed as a byproduct when barite and oil are mixed, and later sticks to the casing. This phenomenon has caused a delay in drilling progress, and increased exploration and development costs. Since nano-emulsions have low interfacial surface tension, wetting, and reversal capabilities, this study used nano-emulsions with a particle size of about 14 nm to prepare a cleaning fluid system. This system enhances stability through the network structure in the fiber-reinforced system, and prepares a set of nano-cleaning fluids with adjustable density for ultra-deep wells. The effective viscosity of the nano-cleaning fluid reaches 11 mPa·s, and the system is stable for up to 8 h. In addition, this research independently developed an indoor evaluation instrument. Based on on-site parameters, the performance of the nano-cleaning fluid was evaluated from multiple angles by heating to 150 °C and pressurizing to 3.0 Mpa to simulate downhole temperature and pressure. The evaluation results show that the viscosity and shear value of the nano-cleaning fluid system is greatly affected by the fiber content, and the cleaning efficiency is greatly affected by the concentration of the nano-emulsion. Curve fitting shows that the average processing efficiency could reach 60–85% within 25 min and the cleaning efficiency has a linear relationship with time. The cleaning efficiency has a linear relationship with time, where R2 = 0.98335. The nano-cleaning fluid enables the deconstruction and carrying of the sludge attached to the well wall, which accomplishes the purpose of downhole cleaning.
