Annotation:

The article presents the results of study of micro-colmatants used when drilling wells in the territory of the Russian Federation. The work was aimed at finding a parameter that affects the efficiency of micro-colmatants to strengthen the wells walls by comparing filtration indicators and evaluating the effect of micro-colmatants on the rheological and structural-mechanical properties of flushing fluids.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the selection of a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of micro colmatants in a clay suspension in terms of LTLP, HTHP filtration under well conditions, as well as in assessing the effect of micro-colmatants solubility in water on the filtration index of a clay suspension with a micro-colmatant.

The purpose of the study is the selection of micro-colmatants and a comparative assessment with reagents already used for similar conditions. Based on the results of the studies, differences were identified in the mechanism of interaction between inhibitors, colmatants and micro-colmatants, the component composition of micro-colmatants was determined, the parameters measured during the studies were selected and the physicochemical and mechanical parameters indicated by the manufacturers in the accompanying documentation were analyzed. A methodology for conducting comparative studies of micro-colmatants has been developed. The results obtained have been analyzed.
