... Abstract To counter the consequences of the wellbore instability problems, a thorough analysis of the borehole conditions is performed throughout the entire life-cycle of a hydrocarbon well from planning during the early stages to completion and production. The analysis comprises the following...

... was prohibited for environment protection. To tackle the stability problem, mud weight was increased as the conventional method to avoid shale caving, which was successfully applied in the other fields. However, the problem could not be solved. Accordingly, "Joint Study of N.Umr Shale Instability Problem...

...Data Statistics of Well Sidetracking/Tight Hole Problems Total 185 wells including 153 of new wells and 32 of re-entry drilling wells have been drilled through N.Umr from January 1991 to March 2004. Well sidetracking due to the shale instability problem in N.Umr has been observed since year...
