When the amphiphilic block polymer provided by the invention is used as the ultralow-permeability agent of the intelligent temporary plugging type water-based drilling fluid, the self-adaptive characteristic is realized; according to the amphiphilic block polymer, temporary plugging layer gaps formed in pore and throats by plugging materials in drilling fluid can be fully filled under the condition that the sizes and the distribution of the pore and throats of reservoirs are not required to be clear, so that the permeability of temporary plugging layer is greatly reduced, ultralow-permeability is realized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas drilling, and discloses a biodiesel-based constant rheological property drilling fluid containing intelligent temperature responsive polymer, which contains two or more of the following components which are stored in admixture or separately: base oil biodiesel, aqueous phase, emulsifier, organic soil, constant rheological property flow pattern modifier, hydrolysis inhibitor, filtrate reducer and weighting material; the constant rheological property flow pattern modifier is an intelligent temperature responsive polymer, and the polymer contains structural units provided by bis-hydroxyethyl bis-hydroxypropyl stearyl ammonium chloride, ethylene bis-stearamide and dimerized fatty acid.

Abstract: A method and system for assessing the condition of a pipeline in a pipeline system is disclosed. The method includes generating a pressure wave in the fluid being carried along the pipeline system at a pressure wave generating location along the pipeline system and detecting pressure wave interaction signals at two closely spaced measurement locations along the pipeline. The method then includes determining a system response function for the pipeline based on the detected pressure wave interaction signals for each measurement location and characterising the pipeline based on the system response function.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of water-based drilling fluid, in particular to a modified polyhistidine suitable for being used as a supramolecular shale inhibitor, a method of preparing the same, and its application in water-based drilling fluids. The modified polyhistidine has a histidine polymerization main chain comprising a structural unit, which is represented by Formula (1) and attached with a modifying group, and the histidine polymerization main chain has a histidine polymerization degree of 6-9. The modified polyhistidine provided by the present disclosure is a degradable biological material and has the advantage of environmental friendliness; when the modified polyhistidine is used as a shale inhibitor, it can take advantage of its supermolecular property to effectively inhibit the hydration expansion of montmorillonite which is the most important expansion mineral in shale, and exhibits excellent inhibition effect and desirable temperature resistance.
