Abstract:
To determine the impact of conductivity on drilling fluid properties, the relationship among the conductivity, drilling fluid inhibition, salinity and COD value was evaluated through the electrophoresis experiment, drilling fluid filtrate salinity measurement experiment and the drilling fluid filtrate COD detection experiment. The results show that the change of drilling fluid conductivity can characterize the change of clay particles surface ξ potential of drilling fluid, drilling fluid filtrate salinity and COD value of drilling fluid filtrate.This research conclusion provides a simple, fast and accurate analysis way for drilling fluid properties evaluation.
