Transdisciplinary Application of Functional Materials in Petroleum Engineering

Abstract:

Currently, transdisciplinary integration has become increasingly close, and has gradually become the source of innovation. At the same time, petroleum engineering technologies demand more new technologies like functional materials and electronic information technologies. In order to effectively promote technological innovation and development of the petroleum engineering, it is important to continuously monitor, analyze and evaluate the latest development of the technologies outside of the oil and gas industry. This paper combines qualitative analysis of onsite demands, application cases, technical characteristics, and quantitative analysis of literature metrology, patent evaluation, technology maturity, to evaluate the application prospects of densified wood, liquid metal and poly (thioctic acid) in the field of petroleum engineering, and specific transdisciplinary suggestions are put forward. It is recommended to carry out pre-research work for the potential application of functional materials in the petroleum engineering, and it is expected to introduce new materials for downhole tools, new antennas for downhole instruments, extend long-term effectiveness of downhole plugging, and improve drilling efficiency.
