Abstract
The article focuses on the critical issue of preserving reservoir properties of productive reservoir during drilling. One method to minimize the negative impact of drilling fluids on the eservoir is the use of colmatants. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the colmatant of various fractional composition in a biopolymer potassium chloride mud, with a focus on the permeability of core samples from the BS101-2 productive reservoir in the Surgut group of fields. The test muds contained marble chips with varying fraction ratios, chosen based on the Abrams criteria, as well as fractions that were two times larger and two times smaller than the actual pore size of the core samples. The authors conducted experimental studies using a Vinci FDS-350 apparatus unit under conditions that closely resemble reservoir conditions, utilizing a column made up of three core samples. The researchers calculated the permeability recovery for each of the core sample as well as for the entire core column. The results demonstrated good blocking performance of the mud. The mud invasion depth did not exceed 3 cm, which allows recommending this mud for opening productive reservoir followed by hydraulic fracturing or acid treatment.
