Characterization of Shale-Drilling Fluid Interaction Mechanisms Related to Wellbore Instability

Wellbore stability problems tend to occur during the drilling phase in shale sections, hence the understanding of shale-drilling fluid interaction mechanisms is essential if wellbore instability is to be avoided when drilling through shale sections. A review on the origin of shale electric potential...
