    • Drilling fluid loss results in significant material wastage and can lead to severe accidents such as borehole instability. To elucidate the effects of formation clay minerals and water intrusion on the shear thickening response of smart plugging drilling fluids, shear thickening fluids (STFs) were prepared using nano-silica and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The nano-silica was characterized by SEM, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and the balance bottle method.The STFs were characterized via squeeze flow and steady-state shear tests. Experiments were designed involving the intrusion of illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite at concentrations of 0, 1.8%, 3.6%, 5.4%, and 7.2%, as well as water intrusion at 0, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The results indicate that the intrusion of kaolinite and illite reduced the maximum viscosity of the STF by 79.8% and 72.9%, respectively, due to the interlayer slippage effect. In contrast, the intrusion of 5.4% montmorillonite increased the thickening intensity of the STF by 56.4%. However, 8% water intrusion significantly diluted and inhibited the thickening characteristics of the STF, causing a 99.6% decrease in shear thickening intensity. This study provides a theoretical reference for the application of shear-thickening-based smart plugging drilling fluids.
