Oilfield Temporary Plugging Agent is a temporary sealing material used in oil and gas well operations, including drilling, completion, fracturing, acidizing, refracturing, and reservoir protection. Its core function is to temporarily plug fractures, pore throats, perforations, high-permeability channels, or lost-circulation zones in the wellbore or reservoir. By doing so, drilling fluid, fracturing fluid, acid fluid, and other treatment fluid are prevented from preferentially entering existing dominant flow paths and are instead diverted to under-stimulated or target intervals. This helps improve reservoir contact, enhance fracturing or acidizing performance, reduce fluid loss, and minimize reservoir damage. In practical applications, Oilfield Temporary Plugging Agent is usually selected according to formation temperature, pressure, pore-throat size, fracture width, treatment-fluid system, and flowback conditions. An ideal Oilfield Temporary Plugging Agent should provide good plugging strength, injectability, particle-size compatibility, temperature and pressure resistance, and removability. It should form an effective temporary plug during treatment and then be removed after the operation through dissolution, degradation, gel breaking, or flowback, thereby reducing long-term damage to oil and gas reservoirs.
At present, Oilfield Temporary Plugging Agent is mainly used in fracturing diversion, acidizing diversion, drilling lost-circulation temporary plugging, and reservoir protection temporary plugging. Among these applications, fracturing diversion and acidizing diversion are the most typical, especially in horizontal well multistage fracturing, refracturing of mature wells, low-permeability reservoirs, and unconventional oil and gas development. With increasing demand for shale oil and gas, tight oil and gas, and production enhancement in mature oilfields, degradable, dissolvable, low-residue, high-temperature-resistant, and composite Oilfield Temporary Plugging Agent is becoming a key development direction in the industry.
