A prediction of borehole stability while drilling preliminary prospecting wells based on seismic impedance

When the conventional method of predicting borehole stability is applied to the preliminary prospecting wells, the precision of prediction is often affected severely by the lack of data, limit of applying conditions, error of calculated parameters and complexity of operating courses. This paper pres...
