Achieving optimal wellbore stability during drilling operations is paramount for ensuring successful exploration of hydrocarbons. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has emerged as a sophisticated technique to enhance wellbore stability. By dynamically controlling the drilling fluid pressure throughout the wellbore, MPD mitigates the challenges associa

Drilling and establishing wells in soft shale formations presents a significant challenge due to the inherent deformability of these geological structures. Wellbore stability analysis is crucial for predicting and mitigating potential failures that can lead costly downtime, environmental damage, and safety hazards. Comprehensive analyses include a
