Petroleum and coal journal [online], 57(2), pages 194-198. Available from: https://www.vurup.sk/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2017/07/pc_1_2015_ezenweichu_316_kor.pdf

Water based muds are the most extensively used drilling muds. Their use is however limited, especially in shaley formations where it results to various degrees of wellbore instability. In such formations, oil based muds are often utilized due to... Read More about Modeling the effect of KCL inhibition on the rheological properties of shale contaminated water based mud..
