Application of Nanomaterials in Reservoir Protection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanomaterials are of great importance to improving mudcake quality, reducing lost circulation, enhancing borehole stability, and protecting reservoir. Some nanomaterials, including nanometer plugging materials, nano-sized MMH drilling fluids, nanocomposite super-short fibers, water-based film-forming drilling fluids, nano-based drilling fluid, and so on, are introduced, and all of them have significantly influence on reservoir protection. As a result, the application of nanomaterials in the field of reservoir protection is very useful for maintaining borehole stability and protecting reservoir.
