Environment Friendly Water-Based Drilling Fluid Using Natural Vegetable Gum

This paper reported the formulation and the laboratory analysis of TLJ-1 vegetable gum drilling fluid With the temperature resistance capability up to 140 degrees C. Based on the single factor method, TLJ-1 is chosen as the main treatment agents for the fluid LV-CMC and PEG taken as the filtrate reducer, QS-2 taken as the rigid filling particles, the three formulations i.e., the low-solids drilling fluid, the solids- free drilling fluid and the weighting natural vegetable gum drilling fluid have been presented. The laboratory analysis has demonstrated the good temperature resistance capability of the presented TLJ-1 vegetable gum drilling fluids for environment safety.
