Abstract
Based on the analyses of influence of emulsifier,oil/water ratio and organic clay volume,formula ofsynthetic drilling fluid is given:emulsion fluid,3%organic clay,4%emulsifier E,0.5%wetter,3%filter reducer(water phase30%(v/v)).Compared with white oil and GTL drilling fluid,linear a-alkene synthetic drilling fluidshows better fluidity in low temperature which is more appropriate for drilling operation in deep water.
