New Method of Layered Drilling Fluid Design to Overcome Wellbore Instability of Piedmont Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper will take the complex layer of the Qunkuqiake region of Tarim Basin as a research object in order to find the reasons of the borehole instability. The layered drilling fluid design technique is put forward firstly and a new drilling fluid technology to solve the problems of wall instability of the Qunkuqiake regions in Tarim Basin is developed.
