The Effect of Borehole Pressure on the Drilling Process in Salt

Abstract: Summary Wells penetrate long intervals of salt to access hydrocarbon reservoirs in many locations. High mud weights are frequently used to stabilize the wellbore while drilling through salt formations. High borehole pressures reduce rates of penetration (ROPs) in many sedimentary rocks. This effect is significant and contributes greatly to the low ROPs and high costs associated with deep drilling. This paper presents the results of an integrated laboratory study of the effect of b… Show more
