A semi-analytical approach to model drilling fluid leakage into fractured formation

R Albattat, H Hoteit - Rheologica Acta, 2021 - Springer
Loss of circulation while drilling is a challenging problem that may interrupt operations and
contaminate the subsurface formation. Analytical modeling of fluid flow in fractures is a tool …

Numerical simulation study on impact factors to dynamic filtration loss

C Kong, Y Sun, C Li, J Zhao, X Zhu - Journal of Petroleum Exploration and …, 2024 - Springer
During drilling operations, naturally, fractured formations are prone to show serious mud
losses, which hinder drilling and increase nonproductive time and costs. The influencing …
