Abstract

The article delves into the chemical structure and properties of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), emphasizing its environmentally friendly nature and limitations such as weak temperature resistance and high dosage requirements. It discusses various modifications of HEC, including hydrophobic, cationic, and amphoteric ion modifications, and their applications in enhancing the performance of drilling fluids. The article also explores the use of HEC in different roles such as thickeners, flow regulators, and water loss reducers, and highlights the need for further research to improve its performance in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Additionally, the article reviews the progress and future directions of HEC materials in oil and gas drilling and production, emphasizing the importance of continued exploration in this field.
