Abstract

Clay hydration and swelling can cause shale instability in the drilling of oil and gas wells. The persistent inhibition performance of polyether amine (PEA) and poly(vinyl alcohol-g-dimethyl aminopropyl methacrylamide) (PVA-g-DMAPMA) as amine clay inhibitors has been investigated through hot rolling dispersion test, bulk hardness test, and bentonite inhibition test. The micro-mechanism has also been explained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Through the interaction of PEA and PVA-g-DMAPMA, the PEA can enter into clay platelets to exclude water molecules from entering and hydrating the clay, and the PVA-g-DMAPMA can affect the surface of clay minerals to prevent further intrusion of water molecules. Due to the effect of multiple cationic sites, both PEA and PVA-g-DMAPMA can maintain persistent clay inhibition and are less susceptible to reversing the adsorption.
