Anti-collapse concentration is fixed, the viscosity of the drilling fluid improves with increasing Na-CMC concentration.
The API filtrate loss of the drilling fluid decreases with increasing bentonite concentration, while the
filter cake thickness increases and then stabilizes. (2) The drilling fluid has an efficient performance
in the carrying capacity of drill cuttings and the anti-collapse performance of a coal mass. Thorough
degradation is completed 300 min after adding cellulase. (3) Compared with traditional clear water, the
effective drilling distance of downward core drilling using the drilling fluid increases by two times, and
the anti-collapse performance for coal seam methane drainage boreholes is remarkable.

3.1.5. Degradability
During the drilling process of the coal seam, the drilling fluid will
adhere to the borehole wall and a “low permeability” layer will be
formed within a certain range around the borehole wall. Although
it is conducive to maintaining the stability of the borehole wall, the
borehole flushing fluid in the coal seam is required to be degradable
to ensure that the gas in the coal seam can be extracted through
boreholes successfully after the boreholes are formed (Gong et al.,
2018). The degradability of the drilling fluid can be investigated by
examining the change in the apparent viscosity of the drilling fluid
after the addition of the breaker.

reduced after adding cellulase, and the AV value decreased from

coal) was placed in the clear water under constant temperature
conditions. It became thinner, and its integrity was destroyed after
soaking for 24 h. The results showed that the AV of the drilling fluid
