In order to avoid such problems, solid particles are used as bridging and weighting agent in drilling fluid formulations. The physico-chemical characteristics of these materials have a strong influence on cake formation and therefore on filtration rate and mud-filtrate invasion in rock formations. Thus, the control of filter-cake properties is critical in the oil well drilling process. The focus of this research was to evaluate the effect of calcium carbonate particle size and the concentration of two different types of polymeric viscosifier on static filtration tests. The experiments were performed in a HTHP cell (High Temperature, High Pressure) manufactured by OFI Testing Equipment?. This apparatus was previously used by Calabrez (2013), Martins (2013), and Ferraz (2014). The filter cake parameters evaluated were: porosity, permeability, cake thickness, filtrate volume, growth rate, and compressibility index. The particle size distribution of calcium carbonate, the viscosifier and its respective concentration influenced the rheology of the fluids and the filtration process. Equations that describe the filtration phenomenon and which allow the calculation of the filtration parameters were evaluated. Experimental data obtained in other studies were assessed in order to validate the studied model. Based on literature models, the simulation of drilling fluid filtrate invasion was performed in an oil well connecting the filtration and filtrate invasion equations. Using the simulation result of each fluid behavior it was possible to predict the characteristics of the fluid which will cause less damage to the oil well in this context. / A invas?o indesej?vel de fluido na rocha reservat?rio pode causar danos irrevers?veis ? forma??o rochosa. Com o intuito de mitigar tais problemas, part?culas s?lidas s?o utilizadas como material obturante e adensante na composi??o de fluidos de perfura??o. As caracter?sticas f?sico-qu?micas destes materiais t?m forte influ?ncia na forma??o da torta de filtra??o e consequentemente na taxa de filtra??o e invas?o de filtrado nas forma??es rochosas. Desta forma, o controle das propriedades da torta ? fundamental no processo de perfura??o de po?os de petr?leo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do tamanho das part?culas de Carbonato de C?lcio e da concentra??o de dois tipos de viscosificantes polim?ricos distintos em testes de filtra??o est?tica. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em uma c?lula HTHP (High Temperature, High Pressure) produzida pela OFI Testing Equipments?. Os par?metros da torta avaliados foram: porosidade, permeabilidade, espessura da torta, volume de filtrado, fator de crescimento e ?ndice de compressibilidade. A distribui??o granulom?trica do carbonato de c?lcio, o viscosificante e sua respectiva concentra??o influenciaram na reologia dos fluidos e no processo de filtra??o. Foram avaliadas equa??es que descrevem o fen?meno de filtra??o e permitem o c?lculo de par?metros de filtra??o. Dados experimentais obtidos na literatura foram usados com o objetivo de validar o modelo estudado. Com base em modelos da literatura foi realizada a simula??o da invas?o de filtrado de fluido de perfura??o em um po?o de petr?leo conectando as equa??es de filtra??o e invas?o. Com o resultado da simula??o do comportamento de cada fluido pode-se prever quais as caracter?sticas do fluido que causar? menor dano ao po?o.
