Mud Temperature Effects on Lost Returns

Original Concept. . Temperature Effects on Borehole. Higher borehole temperatures (from hot drilling fluids) will cause the rock to try to expand.Since it cannot expand outward it tries to expand radially and towards the inside of the borehole.Since it cannot expand, the hoop stress level in the r

    9. SPE 25732. " predicts an increase of the actual LOT value at the shoe when deepening the hole, with respect to the measurements made at the beginning of the drilling phase.“ SPE 71366. States that " the breakdown mud weight decreases by .03 ppg …for every 1 deg centigrade of cooling of a vertical well." SPE 29428. Says " Borehole stress evaluation shows how the near well-bore fracture gradient can be exceeded, when cooling is combined with ECD." More Documentation
