Abstract:I N the drilling process, the balance of the rocks composing the walls of the wells is disturbed. The stability of the walls depends on the original strength characteristics of rocks and their changes under the influence of various factors. Therefore, drilling mud plays large role. It is known that the main role in the intensification of the process of softening clays is determined by original humidity, and the saturation of drilling mud filtrate under the action of the formation overburden. The absorption of … Show more
