Drilling fluid design is the most vital step in drilling phase. An ideal drilling fluid apart from
exhibiting good thixotropic behavior should be efficient in inhibiting the hydrates formation …

Oil and gas recovery may cause formation damage during drilling, completion, and
production phases. As a result of fundamental chemical, thermal, mechanical, and biological …

Worldwide increase demand for oil and gas led to an evolution in drilling techniques that
maximize oil and gas production such as inclined, multilateral, and long horizontal drilling …

During drilling operations, the filtrate fluid of the drilling mud invades the drilled rock. The
invading filtrate fluid will interact with the rock and therefore alter the rock internal …

The rock geomechanical properties are the key parameters for designing the drilling and
fracturing operations and for programing the geomechanical earth models. During drilling …

The overbalance pressure drilling technique is well common and practiced during the
drilling operations in the petroleum field. This parameter is very critical and affects the drilled …

The rock saturation condition affects the rock elastic and strength characteristics due to the
role of fluid–rock interaction. However, the role of this parameter has not been studied well …

Dispersion, which poses a significant challenge to wellbore stability during shale drilling, is
influenced by various factors such as shale petrological and mechanical properties, as well …

The review in this article focuses on various aspects of drilling extended reach (ERD) wells.
Reaching extreme depths and setting world records for deviation illustrates the importance …

Wellbore instability frequently leads to substantial nonproductive time and increased
operational costs in both drilling and production phases. Traditionally, analytical models …
