In the past two years, several horizontal wells with ultra-long horizontal intervals were completed in Changqing oil and gas field. The longest horizon interval reached 4466 m, which set a record of the longest onshore horizontal well in Asia. There were a lot of difficulties such as high friction, mudstone collapse, and sand carrying that puzzled the drilling of wells with ultra-long horizontal intervals. To solve these problems, some key treatment agents were screened to form a novel water-based drilling fluid system (CQSP-RH). The yield point and extreme pressure lubrication coefficient of the novel system were 18 Pa and 0.058, respectively. The filtrate volume of the novel system was only 1.9 mL at room temperature and was 12 mL at 120 °C. When the cuttings were rolled for 16 h at 120 °C, the primary recovery of them could reach 98.64%. Subsequently, the novel system was applied to wells with ultra-long horizontal intervals. The friction resistance between drilling tools and sidewall was controlled within 500 KN; the solid contents of drilling fluid was controlled within 10%. The results proved that the novel system have superb properties and tremendous potential to drill deeper horizontal wells.
