Abstract:

Shale formation is different from “inactive” rocks when contacting with water-based drilling fluid, rock strength and the internal stress around borehole in the hale formation will change with mud properties and time in which shale formation had been opened. Finally stability will be decreased. The effects of hydration on stresses distributions, caving pressure and fracture pressure of shale formation around borehole had been studied quantitatively. The results have illustrated that shale hydration will decrease the fracture pressure, and increase caving pressure.

Key words: equation of state, hydrochemistry, hole status, hole stability, rock mechanics, rock mechanics, rock stress, mudstone, shale
