Implication

Geomechanical modeling reveals safe mud weight for horizontal wells, suggesting effective contamination management.

Key Points

  • The CF-HPWBM demonstrated strong performance with a recovery rate of 89% in shale dispersion tests.
  • Geomechanical modeling indicates a safe mud weight window of 8.5 to 10.6 ppg for the Permian Basin formations.
  • Cement contamination increased mud pH to 12, but overall stability of rheological properties was maintained.
  • This approach highlights the CF-HPWBM's robustness in complex drilling environments, ensuring operational efficiency.
