Presence of natural fractures in sub-surface makes an oil well drilling operation very challenging. As one of the major functions of drilling mud is to maintain bottomhole pressure inside a wellbore to avoid any invasion of unwanted high-pressure influx (oil/gas/water), drilling a well through these fractures can cause severe mud loss into the form...
Drilling through a reservoir with pre-existed fractures sometimes called as naturally fractured reservoir presents many complex challenges. The most common of them is the loss of drilling mud through those fractures which is generally known as lost circulation. As drilling fluid contributes on an average 10% of the total drilling cost, it is of utm...
