DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2020.107492
Abstract: Abstract One of the most important problems encountered during drilling operation is lost circulation through the natural/induced fractures, which increases the operational time and costs. Wellbore strengthening (WBS) by plugging the fractures using lost control… read more here.
