Study on Multi-Functional Experimental Apparatus for the Performance Evaluation of HTHP Drilling Fluid

Abstract:

With the development of deep well drilling technology, a new HTHP (High Temperature High Pressure) experimental apparatus LH-1 was developed to meet the need of research and evaluation of deep well drilling fluid. With the advanced dynamic seal technology, mechanical transmission and data sensing technology, this new apparatus has many kinds of HTHP testing functions in a body and could evaluate manifold performances at the dynamic state of high temperature and high pressure including HTHP dynamic or static filtration test, high temperature dynamic scattering test of drilling cuttings, HTHP dynamic sealing and plugging tests, ultra HTHP aging test and so on. The lab tests show that the new apparatus gains such advantages as novelty of the design, stability of the performance, accuracy and reliability of the experimental data and facility of the operation. Having overcome the defections of the old apparatuses, the new device can provide a new means of experimental researches for the evaluation of HTHP comprehensive performance of deep well drilling fluid.
