On the theoretical scheme of the phenomenon of mud loss into formation

Abstract

The article proposes a new formula for determining the penetration depth of clay solution into the formation. This formula, unlike other known formulas, takes into account the effect of porosity and permeability. The article also sets the task of modeling this effect and specifies general ways to solve this issue. Keywords: Drilling; Formation; Clay solution; Porosity; Permeability; Rressure gradient.
