Drilling fluid loss of circulation is a challenging issue to resolve for many oil and gas wells as
drilling progresses. It imposes enormous expenses on drilling industry. One of the common …

Identifying reservoir fractures has been a challenge due to its significant influence in drilling
and production, especially in highly complex carbonate reservoirs. In this paper, one of the …

A major cause of some of serious issues encountered in a drilling project, including wellbore

Abstract In the Gachsaran Formation, the casing pipes driven into a number of wells have
collapsed within a short span of time in one of the southwest fields of Iran. The casing …

In fractured carbonate rocks, reservoir quality is controlled by the fracture properties.
Fracture system characteristics in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs are vitally …

Abstract The Late Albian Mauddud Formation of North Kuwait is composed of inner ramp
carbonates and deltaic clastics. It hosts prolific hydrocarbon reserves in Kuwait and across …
