SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BARITE FILTER CAKE IN WATER-BASED AND OIL-BASED DRILLING FLUIDS

原文（中国語）

Drilling fluid compositions may include a weighting agent, a nitrite-containing compound, and an ammonium-containing compound, where the nitrite-containing compound and the ammonium-containing compound may be encapsulated together in copolymer micro-particles forming encapsulated thermochemical compounds, and where at least one property selected from the group consisting of the density, the plastic viscosity, the yield point, the gel strength, and the pH, of the drilling fluid composition may be substantially similar to the at least one property of a comparable drilling fluid composition devoid of the encapsulated thermochemical compounds. Methods for reducing a filter cake from a wellbore surface in a subterranean formation are also provided. The methods may include introducing into the wellbore the drilling fluid compositions, allowing the drilling fluid composition to reach a temperature in the wellbore sufficient for the encapsulated thermochemical compounds to react, where the reaction of the encapsulated thermochemical compounds generates heat and nitrogen gas.
