相较于传统水基钻井液,智能水基钻井液具备“自识别、自调节、自适应”等智能化特征,有望从本质上破解当前钻井液领域面临的技术瓶颈,是未来更具发展潜力的方向. 在文献调研的基础上,围绕分子设计、响应机理与性能评价3个方面,系统综述了智能水基钻井液关键处理剂(包括流型调节剂、降滤失剂、页岩抑制剂、增粘剂和堵漏材料)的研究进展,进而针对各类智能处理剂存在的关键技术问题,进一步展望了其未来发展趋势,以期为智能钻井液体系构建提供理论参考.
Compared with traditional water⁃based drilling fluids, intelligent water⁃based drilling fluids possess intelligent features such as "self⁃recognition, self⁃regulation, and self⁃adaptation", and are expected to fundamentally break through the technical bottlenecks currently faced in the drilling fluid field. They represent a more promising direction for future development. Based on a literature review, this paper systematically summarizes research progress on key additives for intelligent water⁃based drilling fluids:including flow⁃type modifiers, loss reducers, shale inhibitors, viscosity enhancers, and leak⁃sealing materials:across three dimensions: molecular design, response mechanisms, and performance evaluation. Furthermore, addressing critical technical challenges associated with various intelligent additives, it outlines future development directions to provide theoretical guidance for constructing intelligent drilling fluid systems.
