Zusammenfassung:Stability of well in layer with shale is strongly influenced by the kind of drilling fluid used in the drilling activity. Therefore, when its praticle the use of aqueous fluids, then it is need to use swelling inhibitors to avoid the expansion of such formations shows in water presence. Actually, new products chlorine-free has been tested due to enviroment concern. Thus, the aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of chlorine-free inhibitors in the rheological and filtration properties and polymeric drilling fluid toxicity with the potential to be applied in drilling oil wells that have reactive-formations. From the evaluation of the results, it was verified that the fluids developed with chlorine-free inhibitors showed different rheological and filtration properties. This behavior is related to the different dosages of K super(+) ion (the potassium ion promotes the control of the swelling reaction formations) present in the studied fluids. The results also indicated that all fluids are non-toxic.Original Abstract: A estabilidade de pocos em trechos de folhelhos e bastante influenciada pelo tipo de fluido de perfuracao utilizado na atividade de perfuracao. Diante disso, quando e viavel o uso de fluidos aquosos, ha a necessidade da utilizacao de inibidores de inchamento para evitar a expansao que tais formacoes apresentam quando em contato com a agua. Atual mente, novos produtos isentos de cloro estao sendo avaliados em virtude da preocupacao ambiental. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho e avaliar a influencia de inibidores isentos de cloro nas propriedades reologicas e de filtracao e na toxicidade de fluidos de perfuracao polimericos com potencial de aplicacao na perfuracao de pocos petroliferos que apresentem formacoes reativas. A partir da avaliacao dos resultados, verificou-se que os fluidos desenvolvidos com os inibidores isentos de cloro apresentaram diferentes propriedades reologicas e de filtracao. Esse comportamento esta relacionado com as diferentes dosagens do ion K super(+) (o ion potassio promove o controle do inchamento em formacoes reativas) presente nos fluidos estudados. Os resultados tambem indicaram que todos os fluidos desenvolvidos sao atoxicos.
