AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new type material solves problems associated with older materials used for sealing leaks caused from underground pipes or other structures that may have cracks due to corrosion over time. Its technical benefits include improved thermal insulation properties at temperatures upwards 200 degrees Celsius (° C) compared to previous methods like cement plugs made entirely outdoors without this coating layer. Additionally, its slowing down process allows for better flow into small holes during placement while maintaining good bond between different layers within the structure being repaired.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the efficiency of removing fluids (mud) leaks through boreholes without causing damage caused by excessive flow rates due to unstable placement of plugs within the hole walls. Current solutions involve either expensive equipment with low reliance or require extensive training and experience, making them challenging to implement. There remains a challenge in developing efficient ways to stop bleeding while maintain good plugging effects.

Abstract

The invention relates to a plugging aid for the oil field drilling field, particularly to a plugging aid capable of controlling the expansion time of a plugging material, inhibiting the water swellingspeed and improving the success rate of the expansion plugging material construction, wherein the plugging aid comprises 5-10 parts of a water swelling resin, 15-80 parts of an alcohol-based modifier, and 0.05-0.4 part of a solid acid catalyst. According to the present invention, the plugging aid can resist a temperature of 150 DEG C so as to significantly improve the temperature resistance and the salt resistance of the plugging agent; and at a room temperature, the plugging aid hardly expands in water, the water swelling speed of the plugging aid is increased along with the increase of thewater temperature so as to achieve the significant delayed expansion characteristic, and the plugging aid slowly expands in the rockshaft, and can continuously expand after reaches the leakage layer so as to effectively improve the leakage stratum and achieve the repair effect.
