DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The high performance seawater base fluid composition for drilling oil wells with highly hydratable and dispersible formations, is a high performance seawater base fluid, which is used for drilling oil wells, with highly hydratable formations, dispersible, allows at the same time to have a high penetration rate, in holes with directional characteristics, deviated from high angle, with instability of the hole and with difficulties of cleaning the well.
The fluid is composed of organic chemical inhibitors and salts to control the swelling of clays using organic inhibitory molecules in the fluids of the surface of the clay where they compete with the water molecules for the reactive sites of the clays and therefore serve to reduce the swelling of the clay.
The composition has products that are biopolymers that allow to have excellent reo logical values; the composition is based on determining by means of a rotational viscometer, the theological and thixotropic properties to a fluid under given conditions, which must be maintained in an adequate range, to optimize the cleanliness of the well being drilled. Stability refers to having an excellent inhibition of formation using inhibitors based on amines or glycols; the formations that are inhibited are clays and shales.
The high performance seawater base fluid composition for drilling oil wells with highly hydratable and dispersible formations, is a fluid that is designed for the following: as a continuous phase it uses seawater uses a high purity biopolymer as an organic rheology modifier.
It uses a polyanionic cellulose of the regular grade (IMPAC-R / L) as a filtration reducer, it was designed with a greater degree of substitution to obtain better quality of the product and that allows to obtain an excellent enjarre and that of mechanical inhibition.
· A mechanical stabilizer is used that reinforces the quality of the filtrate with a polymer derived from polyester complexes used as filter control agent and rheological modifier, used for high temperature, which allows to control the thermal effect on the system.
· A chemical inhibitor is used that is different from conventional ones based on glycols miscible in water-based fluids and systems with up to 100,000 mg / l salinities, due to its relatively high fog point, which allows a high yield of this the formation.
· Use the potassium chloride salt as an inhibitor.
Caustic soda is added to give alkalinity to the system and precipitate magnesium.
