Popis: Advancements in drilling technology are pivotal to optimizing the production and sustainability of oil and gas wells. One of the emerging innovations is the application of a specialized fluid known as “Fuzzy-ball” fluid. This paper comprehensively reviews the historical evolution and advancements in the utilization of fuzzy-ball fluid in drilling and well-repair processes. Fuzzy-ball fluid has been discovered to bolster a formation’s pressure-bearing capabilities and systematically augment resistance against oil, gas, and water flow. These attributes have been instrumental in the phased integration of fuzzy-ball fluid into procedures aiming to enhance production in oil and gas wells. This paper bridges the knowledge gap in the industry regarding the application of fuzzy-ball fluid, thereby circumventing the challenges of inadequate understanding and suboptimal designs. However, the study acknowledges the potential limitation of information loss despite the extensive data collection from diverse sources, such as articles, patents, and reports. As a future direction, this paper emphasizes the need for a more encompassing and critical evaluation of fuzzy-ball fluid’s performance and applications. This will enable a more informed decision-making process, fostering the expanded use and understanding of this fluid’s mechanism within the industry.
