Journal ArticleDOI
Wellbore stability in naturally fractured formations featuring dual-porosity/single-permeability and finite radial fluid discharge
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical solution for an inclined wellbore drilled in a fractured formation displaying a high contrast between the diffusion rates in the fractures and in the porous matrix, with the latter treated as a storage phase and thus not participating in the fluid transport.
Cuttings Settling and Slip Velocity Evaluation in Synthetic Drilling Fluids

Journal ArticleDOI
Quemada model approach to oil or synthetic oil based drilling fluids rheological modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a better insight into synthetic fluid rheology based on the theory of internal structural units (SUs) suspensions, which can be used to design optimal flow systems and efficient cuttings transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Approach to Borehole-Breathing Investigation in Naturally Fractured Formations
TL;DR: In this paper, a model involving a continuously distributed fracture network is developed, coupled with a variable fracture aperture and a passive porous phase, which is able to quantify pressure distribution in fractures and pores, together with the flow rate entering or exiting the fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Borehole-Breathing/Kick Discriminator: Diagnostic Tool and Potential Resource for In-Situ Formation Characterization
TL;DR: In this paper, a geomechanical model was proposed to generate diagnostic flowback type curves to discriminate the nature of the influx and to infer the fracture network properties (damaged radius, generalized hydraulic diffusivity, average borehole breathability, and generalized total compressibility) through a type-curve matching protocol.
